David Britnell Eventing · Dry Drayton
David Britnell Eventing is a professional event yard in Cambridgeshire, specialising in the backing and producing of young horses up to 5* event horses. We seek a senior equine groom to join the team, providing a great opportunity for someone looking to step up into a more supervisory role in equine.
