WORKING STUDENT PROGRAM
We offer a working student program to ambitious and talented individuals who seek to further their knowledge in the industry with an emphasis on young horse development, breeding and marketing.
We run a breeding operation that involves foaling, handling of the youngsters, broodmare management and farm and pasture management.
The working student program is run in a relaxed, friendly, family atmosphere, with strong emphasis on basic horsemanship, classical riding, breed management, teamwork, leadership and organizational skills. The students are exposed to every aspect of running a farm.
Our working student program offers instruction, riding experience and learning opportunities in exchange for working in the stable. Our program is designed to allow everyone the chance to fulfill their own goals with their riding, including ample opportunities to compete their own horse.
With horses competing and being shown for sale, youngsters being started under saddle, horses sent for training, and the breeding program, students can gain experience in all aspects of the horse business.
Applicants are expected to be competent riders, and to have some experience caring for horses and working in stables, but there is no required level of competition experience. A desire to learn and a willingness to work hard are essential. We are looking for working students who really love horses, farm life, and are very interested in learning, improving their riding and becoming part of the Ryu Equestrian Team.
Our Working Students receive housing at Ryu Equestrian, instruction and riding lessons on a daily basis, boarding for their horse can be arranged (please email for details) and plenty of opportunities to ride, learn and gain experience. If you have a suitable horse, there is plenty of opportunity to compete.
Students work 6 days a week, doing all types of horse care, including feeding, grooming, mucking stalls, cleaning tack, riding, tacking up, and whatever needs to be done around the barn. Students generally work several horses a day in addition to their own.

YOUNG RIDER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Young Rider Development Program accommodates riders of all levels 21 years and younger in the Hunter and Jumper disciplines. Our hope is to generate involvement early on, helping our lower level riders to realize their goals and eventually achieve success at the higher levels through dedication, hard work and discipline in the Hunter, Jumper and Equitation Rings.
Our background and experience with Intercollegiate riding allows us to better prepare our students for riding in college if they so choose. We will help our young riders to put together riding portfolios (videos, pictures, resumes, cover letters etc.) as well as prepare them to compete in Intercollegiate Riding recruiting horse shows such as The College Preparatory Invitational.
You will develop an awareness of what is expected of the horse in a variety of settings through schooling at home and competitive experiences. We emphasize developing a quality hunter, equitation or jumper through a combination of flatwork, gymnastics, and a range of courses.
It is preferred for students to have their own horse, however lesson horses are available on a limited basis.
