Pencarrow Stud - Farm Manager

An exciting opportunity has become available to join the Pencarrow Stud team in the role of Farm Manager at their Bellwood Farm property. The unique farm is situated 15 minutes from Matamata, and 20 minutes from Cambridge.

The property encompasses 100 hectares of rolling hill country, making it the perfect location for Pencarrow’s young stock to grow and develop throughout the spring and summer before heading to the trainers in autumn. It is also used to winter mares and occasional spelling for some of the racing team.

The successful applicant will have a wide range of experience in the horse industry and exhibit strong attention to detail.

Some general farming knowledge will be an advantage. Strong communication skills are important, as they will report to the stud manager, but will also have a high degree of autonomy relating to the daily operation of the farm, and livestock.

This property is an integral part of the Pencarrow Stud operation. In the last year alone, seven individual stakes winners bred by Pencarrow Stud have come off the Bellwood Farm hills.

A highly competitive package will be offered with this position.

Applications close 10 July.
