TRAINING AT THE YEGUADA STUD

As part of its policy to provide a social service and with the backing of the Employment Ministry of the Andalusian Autonomous Government and the European Social Fund, the Cartuja stud is currently hosting the "Yeguada de la Cartuja - Hierro del Bocado" Trade Workshop.

In addition to carrying out a quality apprenticeship, students at the Trade Workshop are considered to be employees of the stud. They are consequently required to be subject to the same obligations and responsibilities as the rest of the workforce. Our students are fully involved in day to day operations and are aware of all the needs and demands of a horse farm.

We currently offer three modules: assistant caretaker, assistant handler and stablehand.
To give students an extensive understanding of the workplace, the Trade Workshop includes common everyday jobs on a stud farm, with students rotating through each work area.
While they learn a trade that will help them get a good job, they will receive additional training in other disciplines required to compete in the job market.

WORKSHOP MODULES 2008-2009

Stablehand module
Stablehands perform daily chores that are vital in any stable, such as: cleaning and grooming horses, cleaning stalls, feeding, working closely with riders, attending horses on the walker on a daily basis etc.

Assistant horse caretaker module
The module focuses on the daily cleaning of mares, handling colts, separating them from their mothers and feeding them and also helping in the stud's clinic with reproduction chores.

Assistant handler module
Attendees will learn about handling, breaking in and cleaning the draft horses, cleaning harnesses, preparing different types of horse coaches and daily maintenance of the different carriages at the stud, based on their characteristics and strength.
