Working Student Opportunities with Courtney Cooper, C Square Farm!
Courtney Cooper and the C Square Farm team are back in Pennsylvania after enjoying a very successful winter season in Aiken and we are looking forward to competing extensively in Area II. We are looking to add another working student (or two!) to our program. Preference is given to individuals wanting to stay for a minimum of 6 months who are looking for a rigorous, educationally geared apprenticeship.
Our working students learn about training, sales, horsemanship, and breeding, and they also get plenty of opportunities to compete and ride themselves. Our winter working students brought home several blue ribbons of their own, (one is actually 3rd in the country on a horse C Square Farm lent to her) in addition to attending top events such as Carolina International.
We value our working students and treat them as members of our team with regular lessons, regular riding, days off, board for their horse and housing in a new, beautiful, and safe apartment complete with WIFI.
In addition to the benefits listed above we also do team dinners, and have our working students watch lessons with Courtney and top pros, including Boyd and Silva Martin and Richard Picken. We also strive to teach our working students life lessons; such as goal setting and planning for their future and are happy to stay involved with them individually after leaving our program.
Dressage training and Lipizzan breeding farm is searching for the right working student candidates to take over as our current crew is graduating from college. Dressage background not necessary, but applicants must possess a great work ethic with desire to learn and apply themselves daily. This is a relaxed European style farm that hosts numerous international clinics and events. Duties include any and all horse farm related things along with grooming, exercising horses (varies by individual skill level), and either travel along to shows or stay behind to manage the farm for a weekend. Must be willing to handle stallions and young horses. Having experience already with stallions is a major plus. Possibility of board for one horse for the right applicant. Housing may or may not be included (again varies by situation of applicant). Own transportation and drivers license is required. 6 month minimum commitment. Located in New York.
