Verona Equestrian is seeking a motivated, career-minded Working Student to join our competitive eventing program.

Who We Are Verona Equestrian is a private eventing sales barn based in Ocala, Florida for the winter season and Kentucky for the summer. Our program focuses on producing quality young horses for eventing and jumpers, with an emphasis on correct development and long-term success.

Our head trainer has competed through the Advanced level and has successfully produced numerous horses up the levels. Even more importantly for you, we take pride in having developed many successful professional riders from our working student program. If you are serious about building a career in the equine industry, this is an immersive, hands-on program designed to help you grow.

What You’ll Do Daily operations include:

• Stall cleaning and barn organization
• Turnout and blanketing
• Tacking and untacking
• Show grooming
• General horse care All of our competitions are within 60 minutes of the farm — meaning you’ll enjoy the show experience while still sleeping in your own bed at night (a team favorite perk---no long weeks living on the road in a camper away from your horse.)
