Horse Trainer and Riding Instructor

Location: Stockton, New Jersey

Start Date: July

We are seeking a dedicated Horse Trainer and Riding Instructor to join our family-owned farm in Stockton, New Jersey. With approximately eight horses, we focus on creating a personal and supportive environment that prioritizes the well-being of horses, trainers, and riders alike. Our horses are trained for leisure riding as well as some equestrian competition.

What We Offer:

1. Autonomy: The opportunity to develop and implement your own training program.
2. Personal Environment: A welcoming, family-oriented setting that values wellness for both animals and people.
3. Flexible Schedule: During the week, you can set your own schedule for riding and training. However, you must be available as needed on weekends or when the family is present, including intensive availability during June and July.
4. Full-Time Position: Includes standard benefits.
5. Competitive Salary: Approximately $70,000 per year, based on experience.
6. Housing: Nearby housing may be provided for the right candidate.
7. Bringing Your Own Horse: This is definitely possible.

What We're Looking For:

1. Someone empathetic and patient, who enjoys helping riders improve and enhancing the horses' training, rather than solely pursuing competitive excellence.
2. At least five years of experience in horse training and riding instruction.
3. A reliable car for transportation.

If you're passionate about building confidence in riders and developing well-trained, happy horses for both leisure and competition, we'd love to hear from you!
