Hard to imagine on a day like to day, but winter is coming. Are you a trainer or boarding stable manager with no indoor? We're looking to rent our spectacular Orlean, VA facility to a responsible pro from mid December to early April, with *very* reasonable and flexible terms. As many as 20 stalls, ample turnout both on grass and dry lots, oversized lit indoor with a selection of jumps, covered exerciser, two hot/cold wash stalls, heated grooming bays, the works.

Don't let this fantastic opportunity pass you by - ours is a wonderful farm to winter out of, and we want to make something work! [email protected]

Come join us!

Are you a serious rider who enjoys a dad joke from time to time? Do you love half-halts AND the label maker? And want to be PAID to learn to be the best rider and trainer you can be, without being treated like 💩?

We’re a high-performance dressage stable looking for an apprentice who knows their way around a double bridle AND a pitchfork. We offer world-class training, a lighthearted atmosphere, and the kind of benefits your parents will actually be proud of (Health care! Retirement! Real housing!).

What you’ll do: ride, groom, muck, other farm chores, and be a part of our daily attempts at equestrian perfection.
What you’ll get: paid, housed, trained, and treated like a human being.

Applicants should be able to work in the US without sponsorship, lift 50 pounds, and actually show up. Our ideal candidate has either 3rd level+ mileage or young horse starting experience (or both!); a confident rider with an educated seat and an independent hand is a must. No pets, no smoking; applicants must use their words, appreciate dark humor, and play nicely with others.

We’re in Northern Virginia and Wellington, FL. Housing and salary included, as well as a full-training stall for the right candidate. Health Care Reimbursement and 401K for those who stay on for more than a minute. Daily lessons with TWO USDF Gold Medalists included whether you bring a horse or not.

Previous apprentices have gone on to be trainers, riders, vets, grooms, and general successes in the horse world (and in life, obviously 💁‍♀️)

Please EMAIL a RESUME and a riding video to [email protected]. If you DM me, I’ll know you don’t read, and I need someone who can read 🤓📧

Not just for dressage folks and not just for kids! We'll be tackling the big issues about running a barn of any discipline, and both the youth rider and the not-so-youthful rider, professionals and amateurs alike, will learn a ton. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

This one’s for ALL horse people! 🐴

Join Lendon Gray and Dressage4kids here at Sprieser Sporthorse for a behind-the-scenes look at how a professional training barn operates, from horse management and veterinary care to insurance, financial planning, feed programs, and more.

Whether you’re a rider, trainer, barn manager, working student, horse owner, parent, pony clubber, or just someone who loves learning more about the horse industry, this event is a great opportunity to ask questions, gain insight, and connect with others.
