Start Date - Immediate - We are a boutique 12-stall dressage training facility (www.stavemillfarm.com) located in Esmont, VA (25 minutes south of Charlottesville) seeking to add a Sport Horse Groom to our team. We require an experienced, responsible and organized individual to work side by side with our Barn Manager/Head Groom to carry out daily horse care and barn chores including feeding, stall cleaning, turn-out, grooming and tacking up and cooling down. In addition, this individual will be expected to provide additional therapies such as icing, bandaging, theraplate, hand-walking and hand-grazing. This is not a riding position but there may be opportunities to exercise and trail ride depending on experience. In addition, there is the possibility for the motivated individual to be exposed to business management, business development and support our social media efforts.
Our resident trainer from June through November is George Williams. We have trailer in clients as well as permanent full training and short stay training clients. We go to Wellington from December through March and and this individual should be willing to travel to Wellington and continue grooming for three FEI level dressage horses during this time.
We are caring employers who expect excellence and team work! We are a no drama, yet fun place to work. 5 1/2 days per week including shared night checks. Pay commensurate with experience but will range between $600 to $800 per week. A housing allowance will be provided to the right candidate both in Virginia and Wellington.
