**UPDATED** SEPT, 2018: This is a great place for anyone who is serious about helping horses and people to get a second chance at life. You are provided a nice place to stay on site and are treated more like a family member than staff. As the barn manager or trainee you will get the chance to work with a lot of horses which need bringing up and training without the pressure or extreme conditions found when working at a show stables. The work is easy, fun and flexible. Lots of Rescue horses come and go and just need a dedicated person willing to work hard, manage the stables and spend the extra time giving them love and attention. The horses are all quiet and friendly and the people and staff are just as kind. You wont find a better place than Horse Feathers to work if you are looking for great company, a wonderful learning experience and a place to call home. I first came to Horse Feathers in 2012 and have since returned in 2018 to give clinics here. I am now an FEI II Coach and have noticed huge upgrades in the facility. There is a decent sized riding arena, round pen and stables and even a heated / air conditioned classroom! You bring to the table whatever ideas and skills you want, this is the place to test yourself as a leader and put your horse knowledge to good use! I would recommend this place highly as its a very rewarding experience to have your passion result in the rehoming of adoptable horses that get a second chance at life!
