Hayfield is renowned for it's friendly professional attitude, which makes it the kind of place where people want to be. Students who possess a positive and pleasant attitude progress well at Hayfield. Part of the training process is the development of good attitudes and practices, which you are encouraged to develop to the best of your ability. It is this what gives Hayfield a good safe working environment and a happy atmosphere. Students are expected to integrate into the team and will be involved in the daily running and decision making which gives them invaluable experience for the future.
Every student comes for a one-month trial period to see if they are suited to the training.
You will be rolling up your sleeves to join a working team in a busy stable following the same schedule as the working holiday course which may be hard work but also great fun. This allows you to assess whether a full training course is for you and for us to assess your potential. You will be expected to assist the qualified staff at Hayfield as they care for the horses, ponies and look after the needs of the many club members on a daily basis. If you stay after the trial month, for the next two months you pay no fees. Thereafter you may apply for training grant aid from the club.
