  Description

  My husband and I are race horse trainers with about 50 years of experience each, and are looking for someone to act as a groom for our lovely Thoroughbred race horses for the summer in Lethbridge and Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada starting in April, and can be until mid October. Some experience with horses is a must and we would prefer someone who has groomed before. Our backside of the racetrack is like a little community and has BBQ's and other activities to do. There are lots of part day and day trips to interesting places nearby, including the Rocky Mountains. Both are smaller cities easy to get around with lots of amenities and restaurants nearby.
