WORKING STUDENTS WANTED


I have two positions open for working students! I am potentially looking for someone long-term who can go to Aiken with us. The longer you stay on, the more you’ll be able to learn, the more experiences you’ll have, and the more in-depth your education will be. 

Housing and utilities are included, at the cottage on the farm; board for your horse is offered at a reduced rate, and lessons/coaching included, in NJ and in Aiken. 

Duties include a bit of everything: we have horses in training, sales and young horses, and advanced competition horses. It’s hands-on in all aspects of care and maintenance of the horses and the farm. You will also learn how to run an equine business. My team and I are very hands-on in terms of teaching our working students everything about caring for event horses, managing a farm, conditioning horses, breaking young horses, and anything else involved. 

Having your own horse is welcome but not required – we have horses I can teach on. Any riding background is okay. My barn manager Vanessa came to me about three years ago having only ridden Western; now she is one of the better event horse grooms in the business! There is one requirement: you must be old enough to drive and have a license and a car, since we are located in a rural area. A positive attitude and good work ethic are also a must!

Please email applications to kseventing@yahoo.com
