We are looking for a talented and motivated young horse rider and competition groom to join our professional dressage yard, beautifully located by the sea in southern Sweden—just one hour from Copenhagen.
Our stable has around 20 horses, including sales horses, competition horses, and promising youngsters from our own high-quality breeding program. We focus on classical dressage with a well-balanced training philosophy, including hacking and light jumping to support the horses’ development.
This position becomes available as our highly valued team member Annika is moving on to new challenges in Germany after three fantastic years with us. We are now looking for someone with experience in young horse development and show grooming, who thrives in a professional, ambitious, and positive environment.
There are also opportunities for further development through regular training with top-level professionals. For the right person, there may also be opportunities to compete.
On-site accommodation is available in a comfortable, shared apartment. This is a great opportunity to join a well-established training and sales stable with a strong focus on horse welfare and rider growth.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone special to join our team at Skillinge Dressyr. Most important of all: you are a positive, friendly person who genuinely enjoys meeting people and working with horses. You’re a true team player who also takes initiative and responsibility. You love horses and always put their well-being first. We’re not a strict, high-pressure competition yard—we believe in joy, play, and giving our horses the best possible life. We train them with care so they become rideable for real people, not just professionals. That said, we also aim to win—and we want you to be a winner too.You are an experienced rider who is confident handling young horses—even when they’re playful or cheeky. We do a lot of hacking, some jumping, and of course, young horses will be young horses. You should be calm, methodical, and skilled in the saddle, with good balance, soft hands, and sound judgment. Extensive competition experience is a strong advantage. Fearful riders need not apply
