Friesians of Majesty is a breeding and training equestrian farm in southern Vermont. We have open spots for motivated apprentices to learn and work with top quality Friesian horses.
This is a unique opportunity to learn about many facets of the horse industry in one place. Learning opportunities vary by year and season. They include breeding activities such as stallion collection, processing semen, ultra-sounding mares, foaling out mares, imprinting babies, equine husbandry how to communicate with horses; proper riding techniques; training young horses; and carriage and sleigh driving.
The work on a horse farm is always different from day to day depending on the season and duties vary in nature. All tasks have horses and their care as the focus. Time is split between daily barn chores and new learning experiences. Nearly everything is taught on the job and the apprentices assist and later perform the tasks on their own. Work duties change and expand with the growing knowledge.
