We're thrilled to welcome back bit and bridle Stephanie Brown Beamer of Horse By Horse June 24 and potentially 25th, if there's sufficient numbers. Your horse's comfort is paramount, and choosing equipment that lets you be the most compassionate AND effective will improve both your scores and your training. Check it out at Strider! https://www.striderpro.com/a/ipjhrkd0BEuJXTFxAn02jg

Come join us!

Are you a serious rider who enjoys a dad joke from time to time? Do you love half-halts AND the label maker? And want to be PAID to learn to be the best rider and trainer you can be, without being treated like 💩?

We’re a high-performance dressage stable looking for an apprentice who knows their way around a double bridle AND a pitchfork. We offer world-class training, a lighthearted atmosphere, and the kind of benefits your parents will actually be proud of (Health care! Retirement! Real housing!).

What you’ll do: ride, groom, muck, other farm chores, and be a part of our daily attempts at equestrian perfection.
What you’ll get: paid, housed, trained, and treated like a human being.

Applicants should be able to work in the US without sponsorship, lift 50 pounds, and actually show up. Our ideal candidate has either 3rd level+ mileage or young horse starting experience (or both!); a confident rider with an educated seat and an independent hand is a must. No pets, no smoking; applicants must use their words, appreciate dark humor, and play nicely with others.

We’re in Northern Virginia and Wellington, FL. Housing and salary included, as well as a full-training stall for the right candidate. Health Care Reimbursement and 401K for those who stay on for more than a minute. Daily lessons with TWO USDF Gold Medalists included whether you bring a horse or not.

Previous apprentices have gone on to be trainers, riders, vets, grooms, and general successes in the horse world (and in life, obviously 💁‍♀️)

Not just for dressage folks and not just for kids! We'll be tackling the big issues about running a barn of any discipline, and both the youth rider and the not-so-youthful rider, professionals and amateurs alike, will learn a ton. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

This one’s for ALL horse people! 🐴

Join Lendon Gray and Dressage4kids here at Sprieser Sporthorse for a behind-the-scenes look at how a professional training barn operates, from horse management and veterinary care to insurance, financial planning, feed programs, and more.

Whether you’re a rider, trainer, barn manager, working student, horse owner, parent, pony clubber, or just someone who loves learning more about the horse industry, this event is a great opportunity to ask questions, gain insight, and connect with others.

Spring has sprung! That means we're only a few weeks away from the switch to night turnout. We're always eager to trade lessons (on your horse; we do not have lesson horses available) for help with bringing horses out around 8p every night, as soon as the nights stay above 50*.

Interested in helping us out in Orlean, VA? Shoot [email protected] a note.
