WE'RE LOOKING FOR A STAND-IN TRAIL GUIDE 🐎

Heaven & Earth Trails is looking for an experienced and confident horse rider to join our team as a temporary trail guide from 28 October to 21 November 2026.

The successful applicant will need to be available to start approximately one week before 28 October for a handover and training period. This will give you time to get familiar with our horses, learn our trail routes, become comfortable with our tack and equipment, and understand our feeding routines, horse care and general day-to-day management.

We are looking for someone who is not only a capable rider, but who also has good horse sense, can confidently manage groups of riders, and understands the responsibility of ensuring both the safety and enjoyment of our guests while out on trail.

Previous experience as a trail guide, professional rider or in a similar equestrian role will be highly advantageous. First-aid training or qualifications are preferred.

There may also be an opportunity for additional work during December as a second guide, as this is usually one of our busiest periods.

If you think you would be a good fit, or know someone who might be, please share this post.

Interested? DM or WhatsApp me on 064 502 9508 with a brief description of your riding experience, relevant qualifications and previous experience.

**Heaven & Earth Trails Annual Cattle Muster **

Ever wondered what it's like to take part in a real cattle muster?

Join us on Friday, 31 July at 14:30 for an authentic working farm experience as we saddle up, round up our cattle, and move the herd on horseback. The afternoon begins with coffee, introductions, and a 30-minute safety briefing and strategy session before heading out.

⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – THIS IS NOT A STANDARD TRAIL RIDE.

This event is strictly for experienced riders only. You must be confident and capable of:

Riding an energetic horse under saddle.

Maintaining control at the trot and canter, including on uneven or downhill terrain.

Riding in close proximity to cattle and other horses.

Following instructions while working as part of a team.

If you are unsure whether your riding ability meets these requirements, please contact us before booking.

Please note that this is a genuine working farm activity.
