Horse Jobs – Broodmare Manager

Broodmare Manager

Broodmare manager is a position usually found in larger breeding establishments and they work closely with the breeding manager who oversees large breeding operations.

What You Need

Managing mares is a very hands on position and requires a person with strength of body and mind. Those interested in this position should have some experience with mares in season and in foal. This is a position which benefits from a teamwork attitude, strong attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of the life and cyclical changes of the female horse.

The ability to be firm but with a gentle touch, a deep understanding of equine nutrition and a strong love for the animal are traits of a well-placed broodmare manager.
