Nesbit, MS 38651

Posted: 11/07/2024 Industry: Eventing Job Number: 157 Pay Rate: $ 50000.00 - $ 60000.00

Job Description

This up-and-coming, multi discipline facility just across the boarder from Memphis, Tennessee is looking for a new Eventing trainer to lead their program into the spotlight. This facility is already well into development, boasting a 50 acre, show-quality lower level eventing course, 3 separate arenas, a 12 stall barn, and big plans for improvement! The management team here is exceptionally kind and caring, and supportive in the proposal of facility changes to make life better for boarders and trainers alike! This is a team who believes in supporting their employees and providing opportunities for their team to reach their individual and community goals alike. Individuals applying for this job must be experienced equestrians first and foremost, but also share the kind and caring spirit embodied by the rest of the team at this facility.

This is a well staffed, well organized equestrian operation. Applicants will not be expected to partake in the daily care chores of the horses (other than medical oversight) and will not be responsible for sourcing/managing staff. This is all the fun of having your own program on your own farm, without ANY of the maintenance headaches that come from facility ownership!!
Job Description
Seeking a passionate and experienced professional in the sport of Eventing to develop a discipline-specific lesson program at this up-and-coming facility! The ideal candidate for this role should have competed through at least the Training/Prelim level, and still be actively riding and teaching in the discipline. This person should have experience giving lessons and a willingness to teach individuals of all ages and experience levels. While the program is new, the community is already expressing excitement about its future growth. Client sourcing will not be an issue here! Someone with a strong background will be highly sought after in the surrounding community. This position will require traveling to shows - both local and major out-of-state venues with students. Someone who has their own horse(s) competing will be looked on favorably, as long as they are able to balance their showing with supporting their students effectively.

Someone with a desire to help develop horses as mid-upper level lesson prospects, and as sale prospects, may be afforded extra opportunities very quickly, as leadership is passionate about upping the level of equine talent in the area. As this is a multi-discipline facility, trainers should feel comfortable sharing space with other trainers and students - though there are enough arenas to keep teaching spaces separate.
Eventually, the facility would like to host shows and is seeking a team who would be willing to "wear all the hats" and help out with those endeavors as well.
