Instructor Wanted |
| I am looking for a self-motivated instructor that would like the opportunity to teach but does not have the facility or the horses. I have a turn key facility in need of someone just like you. You would have use of my 3 schooling horses and facilities. This would be a contract position and you could bring in your existing clients or I would help you build a client base on my farm. I currently teach a small number of students. Most of these have their own horses. Some of my existing clients need help with their horses and would like them to be shown. The person I am looking for must be mature, responsible, easy going, with core knowledge of most showing disciplines. My farm currently is geared towards dressage, combined training, eventing with a bit of hunter/jumper thrown in. Below I have listed the criteria for an outside instructor. |
