Opportunity for a working student with Mark Rodney and Debbie Eisenhauer-Rodney. This is a live in position with meals, accommodation, a minimum of 2 lessons per week, daily riding, the opportunity to watch and learn, in exchange for help caring for horses and assistance with maintaining facilities. We require someone that can stay for a minimum of three months, and if based in Oz, can bring their own horse (board for their horse included). This is a great opportunity for someone that wants to immerse themselves in horsemanship and fast track their learning. Suited to someone who wants to lift their all round horsemanship skills, and who has a focus on dressage. Also the opportunity to learn about hoof maintenance, trimming and even shoeing if keen in this area. Please pm Mark or Debbie for more information.

Suited to those wanting to improve communication with their horse, their knowledge of horsemanship, or wanting to have some fun. Use of obstacles will help those interested in working equitation, we will have a play with some dressage tests, and explore ground work.

Monday will start with a dressage test riding demo, highlighting things to consider and focus on as your ride the test, followed by private lessons under saddle. In the afternoon, you will get to ride a dressage test of your choice....twice!! A chance to improve after feedback :)
