CAVALLIS, LLC
Working Student Program
!!! Part-time working student position available!!! Minimum age: 16 years old Our WS program enables the student to gain a complete, comprehensive education in all aspects of the horse business. We believe it is very important that today's trainers pass on the knowledge so that tomorrow's trainers can continue to keep it alive. Therefore, we offer a long-term program in which the student learns not only how to ride and teach, but also how to run a barn and care for horses, how to run a horse business, and other facets of the business that will be vital for their future careers. Our program is geared towards riders who wish to become future professionals, although we will not exclude amateurs who simply want to delve deeply into the experience. JOB DESCRIPTION: WS positions are best suited for those individuals who are interested in eventually becoming professional trainers and instructors themselves. Cavallis working students receive a comprehensive education on the entire training of the horse, including every facet of their care, health, and training. Working Students are an integral part of our program and basically "run" the barn.
