Classical dressage intern program now open for students starting June 1st! Packages of stays for 3 months or 6 months available, though longer term is preferred. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the art of classical dressage, including the work in-hand and Rossfechten from a Certified Classical Dressage Instructor. We also work with working equitation and mounted archery and intend to expand this part of the program. Students take care of stable chores, including cleaning, feeding, grooming, and assisting with events. They receive six lessons per week in exchange for six days of work. Additional didactics also available. Lessons may be focused on work in-hand, on the longe, seat lessons on the longe, or regular under saddle.

Applicants must be eager to learn, organized, and responsible. They must be experienced in grooming and be comfortable riding at walk/trot/canter, preferred 1st level dressage experience. We are adjusting to our new facilities, so many learning experiences there! There will be opportunities to compete with coaching and audit clinics as we host them. For long-term students, there are seasonal opportunities to learn about breeding and other aspects of running a barn. If the student shows enough proficiency, they will exhibit horses at demos and exhibitions. $400/month stipend and living quarters provided. Minimum age 18. Part or full-time opportunities available for those who live close by and who don't want to live on-site. Preference given to those who wish to stay longer and become assistant trainers, so if you are interested in joining us indefinitely to eventually become an assistant trainer, we'd be happy to discuss what this would entail.
