We are looking for a rider who want to learn to train (and some competing) young sport horses. Come out and stay for a couple days and see how much you will ride and learn! We can pick you up at the airport and you can stay in on the farm to interview. Come see why all of the candidates who interview say we offer the best program they've seen...because it's all about YOUR growth as a rider, trainer and horseman. Check out the photo of what your weekly ride list/training will look like! Minimum riding ability: Training Level Dressage or jumping 2'6". You will ride up to 4 quality horses a day. These are not "school horses", these are talented young horses with a wide range of training. Your horses will be at every level and you'll see the value of the training scale and learn to apply the next steps confidently and accurately. Immerse yourself in a program centered around your training goals. You are guaranteed 4 lessons a week. We go to shows and events regularly so you will get a chance to compete after your confidence grows! The program pays for these events/all coaching and trailering included on farm horses. If you enjoy young horses and "light bulb" moments, this is the spot for you! Daily barn work, including mucking, feeding, turnin/out etc in exchange for stipend, 4 lessons a week, riding up to 4 horses per day, housing, field board for your own horse (but you don't have to have one), trailering to local events/schoolings and possible commissions on sales if you bring along and sell a youngster. You're not a "groom", the only horses you groom are the ones YOU ride. It's $2400/mo in value. Min age 18yrs with a high school diploma or equivalent and health insurance for the duration of your stay.

Jobseeker Feedback

Although I am still a relatively new Resident Working Student here at Bascule Farm I can already feel the improvement in my riding and my confidence. Julie, Dick and the rest of the instructors here are always so positive in their feedback and make you feel so proud of ever accomplishment, no mater how small it might be. Now, the "work" side of it. Yes, you will have to clean stalls/barn aisles, dump/clean/fill water buckets, clean tack and lead horses in and out, but the system they have in place here makes it not so bad. We work as a team here and that makes it much easier. Be prepared for LOTS of walking! This is a big property and there is a lot of ground to cover. Our day starts at 7am and is usually done by 530/6pm, but there are some days that you will be out later. I am so happy that I made the decision to come to Bascule Farm and I cannot wait to see where this amazing opportunity take me.
