We offer work experience placements to students and individuals who are genuinely interested in following a career in the equine industry or charitable work. Placements are available at all four Rescue and Rehoming centres located in Norfolk, Somerset, Lancashire, and Aberdeenshire.

This is a very popular scheme and places are limited.

Rescue and Rehoming Centre placements

For placements working with the equine teams you are required to have the following clothing:

  • Steel toe-capped boots or wellingtons. You will not be permitted on the yard without these.
  • Current BSI standard riding hat
  • Jodhpurs, tracksuit bottoms or loose-fitting trousers
  • Riding gloves
  • Wet weather gear

Please note that jewellery, obvious make-up and the wearing of perfume is not permitted on any yard.

For further information about our work experience scheme please call Kirsten Cooke on 01953 497232 or email kirstencooke@worldhorsewelfare.org.
