Working Students

We will be offering working student positions in 2021, however there will be updates to that

program. Students will be offered this opportunity quarterly and must be in a minimum of twice

weekly lessons. The working student program is best understood as an unpaid internship; the

students are gaining invaluable hands-on education with a variety of horses, from green horses

 in for training to seasoned international campaigners. Students must

be a minimum of 12 years of age, with a preference given to those over 16 years old due to

increased responsibility and maturity. The investment of time and energy in teaching the working

students, from both Jess and Mercedes is very high, and we do not take the scheduling or the

training lightly. We expect the same attitude of respect and diligence from our working students.

Beginning January 1, 2021, the working students and their parents will be required to sign a

contract, outlining expectations and behaviors.
