Junior Horsemanship Clinic Instructors

Under the guidance of returning JHC Directors Suzi and Jim Gornall, the clinic focuses on the fundamentals of riding and horsemanship, with an emphasis on control, balance and safety.

The Junior Horsemanship Clinic is an opportunity for young riders, ages 9-17 years, to gain knowledge and experience with their horses in the areas of dressage, stadium and cross-country jumping, horse care, stable management, nutrition and conditioning. The experience, ability, and passion of our Junior Horsemanship Clinic instructors will shape the quality of our young students’ experience at GMHA.

Junior Horsemanship Clinic Barn Managers

Barn Managers will be assigned to a group of students to supervise in the stabling area, including managing feed schedules, making sure chores are done, and assisting with horse care all fall under this designation. Barn Managers will also be responsible for unmounted group lessons each day covering topics such as bandaging, nutrition, and lungeing. Pony Club background and Instructor Certifications are a plus, but are by no means required; teaching and stable management experience are the primary criteria for hiring.

GMHA Working Student Program

GMHA’s Working Students will have the unique opportunity to learn through experience what it takes to run over 60 events in five different disciplines. Reporting directly to GMHA’s event staff and working closely with all of GMHA’s employees, working students will participate in a challenging rotating schedule of activities that may be tailored to reflect their particular interests and academic needs.  Students may be asked to work in the following areas: event preparation, clerical duties,communications, public relations, event set-up, reception, and event management.  Students should expect to work between 20-30 hours per week.  Financial compensation in the form of a scholarship will be awarded to students on a bi-weekly basis.

The Working Student Scholarship Program is open to energetic, motivated equestrians under the age of 22 who can demonstrate financial need. Successful applicants should have a can-do attitude and be prepared to immerse themselves in GMHA’s fast-paced summer schedule. Applicants need not have previous event experience, but should be able to demonstrate how the GMHA Working Student experience will fit into their educational and/or professional goals.
