Are you a serious rider who enjoys a dad joke from time to time? Do you love half-halts AND the label maker? Want an opportunity to show quality horses at someone else’s expense? And want to be PAID to learn to be the best rider and trainer you can be, in a position with room for growth, without being treated like 💩?
We’re a high-performance dressage stable looking to add an additional apprentice/assistant rider to the team. 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 (including put competition mileage on young horses), groom, muck, other farm chores, and be a part of our daily attempts at equestrian perfection.
What you’ll get: paid, housed, trained, show opportunities, 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 FEI trainers 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 💁♀️)
