Jobs: Opportunity to Ride in Australia I would like to offer an opportunity that would suit a competent rider who would like to come to Australia on a working holiday. My professional racing stables are located in Taree (small country town on the mid-north coast of New South Wales). I have employed riders from all over the world (including the UK) over the last 20 years and all of them have enjoyed the opportunity to do some travelling, earn some money and gain some experience riding here in Australia usually on a Working Holiday visa.
Any rider who is interested in this opportunity will need to make their own arrangements in respect to travel, passports and visas. Accommodation can be arranged.
I can provide references and contacts from within the Australian racing industry so that my credentials and credibility can be thoroughly checked. I am more than happy to provide as much information as is required and suggest that contact by email might be best in the first instance. Any riders who would like some assurance regarding my credibility and credentials are invited to contact Mr Drew Smith, Stipendiary Steward, Mid North Coast Racing Association, Racing NSW on dsmith@racingnsw.com.au or via the Racing NSW website www.racingnsw.com.au
