The Equestrian Centre is a picturesque, period stable yard and manor house set in 37 acres of glorious English countryside, tucked away in the heart of a modern British city, Milton Keynes. With excellent transport links to London, exploring the capital city or further afield on your days off is easy to do and the Centre is situated within walking distance of supermarkets and a large shopping centre.
The Equestrian Centre is a social enterprise organisation; all profits from our commercial activities are used to support the Milton Keynes based children’s charity. The charity has a strong track record in creating positive outcomes with children. The Equestrian Centre and the charity share the site and the opportunity we offer will benefit both organisations.
Our team prides itself on working with and welcoming a wide range of people to our yard; people who’ve never ridden before, nervous riders who’d like to build confidence, returning riders who want to refresh their skills and those who’ve ridden a lot. We are a really friendly place to work, a place where everyone feels welcome and part of the team and where we all “muck in” – or perhaps, more appropriately, “muck out!”
Your work will be varied – it may involve painting, building, maintaining the gardens and paddocks You may be required to help with mucking out – we will train you. WORKAWAYS interested in practical work and land maintenance would find plenty of opportunities to practice
We provide ongoing training for all our volunteers and work-away guests and we are experienced hosts, with visitors joining us from all around the globe.
We offer you shared accommodation and subsistence in exchange for 25 hours’ work per week on the stable yard – you will be provided with a work rota as part of our team.
Please note: There is only very limited wifi on-site although there are internet cafes within walking distance.
We are in a position to welcome WORKAWAYS from Ukraine with the right experience; unfortunately we cannot offer opportunities to families.

We pride ourselves on being a really friendly place to work, a place where everyone feels welcome and part of the team. We are a non smoking site.
