Jobs on cattle and sheep stations in Outback Australia are easily the most popular with those coming from overseas.

Here you get first hand experience of mustering, working in the yards and looking after the animals, whether large or small, stud cattle or wilder ones, even buffalo.

There are dozens of different opportunities available for those who can ride horses well, or would like to improve their skills.

Other jobs are with Three Day Event horses, Show Jumpers, Polocrosse or Polo Ponies, Stock Horse studs, Dressage or Endurance horses, with racehorses and at Trail Riding Centres. For some it is not always essential to be a first class horseman or woman.
