Our riding students are welcome to take advantage of our student work program throughout the year. The Double Diamond Student Work Program teaches commitment and responsibility. We look for lesson students who are interested in fine tuning and expanding on their riding, training, and horsemanship skills. The working students gain valuable insight and hands-on skills, and work alongside and learn from a staff of proven equine professionals. To be eligible for the working student program applicants must be at least 7 years old, enrolled in the Double Diamond lesson program, and exceled in the beginner level of instruction. Students must have reliable transportation to and from the barn on their shift days.
This is an educational program only, and working students volunteer only in exchange for valuable experience in the equine industry on and off the horse. Many working students are working for references to obtain a job in the equine industry or other fields in the future, for additional horsemanship instruction outside of regular weekly lessons, and to learn all aspects of horse management while accomplishing age appropriate tasks.
Working students also learn important skills that can assist them in all aspects of life: working with a team, working independently, responsibility, goal setting, time management, work ethics, focus on an objective, problem solving, patience, leadership, and self confidence.
Double Diamond management is happy to provide references for working students who have demonstrated their proficiency in our program successfully.
Students must be hard working and determined, with a desire to learn and succeed. Must be able to work independently and be a team player.
Duties will include but not limited to:
barn chores, feeding, turn out, mucking stalls, watering horses, grooming, tack up and down, administer first aid treatments, and assisting instructors.
September-November & March-May
SWP Hours:
Monday-Thursday
4:00-6:45pm
