Dressage Riding Position Or Carriage Driving Position

Cunnington Nanango, Queensland

Job Description

Hi! Have you always wanted to have the opportunity to ride schooled dressage horses and have a go at all the FEI movements? Tempi changes, pirouettes? Never thought you would be able to?

Or have an interest in carriage driving but have never been able to follow it up?

Well, here is your chance! We have three stables, each looking for one two or three enthusiastic young happy non-drinking non-smoking backpackers to join us for a couple of months at a time.

We like our visitors to be able to commit to at least 6 weeks as it takes the first three weeks just to get into the swing of things here. Two to three months is the best time for you to achieve your riding/driving ambitions, although many have stayed MUCH longer and achieved great things! There may even be the opportunity of competing here in Australia, or taking your singles driving skills onto pairs and fours driving. Take a look at the Carousel Competition Training facebook page to see what we have been playing at lately.

Our most recent backpacker, from Germany, has been with us for almost two years. She came as a very novice rider and is riding this month at our biggest competitions, in Prix St Georges and Inter I! If you have aspirations like this, this is the place for you.

All meals and accommodation (and a few extras as well) are provided, plus there is opportunity to earn some cash in the hand. We have a second house on the property in Nanango and rooms are provided at Toowoomba and Chinchilla, where you would live. They are pretty laid back jobs with lots of time to yourselves, plus everything provided! We have had many many happy visitors over the years who you could chat with if you want. Good food and some great experiences guaranteed!
If you have a driver's licence, we give you a car for day tripping :)

The stables are in Toowoomba (carriage driving) Nanango (dressage and carriage) and Chinchilla (dressage and showing). Unfortunately we cannot sign off on your scond year visa anymore as the job is not a paid fulltime job. We can try accommodate the dates you would like during the year.

For more information, please call Corby on 0427632732 or Lisel on 0428623723 or Bob (driving) on (07) 4630 7274.

UPDATE (06/07/2018) We have rooms available RIGHT NOW for the right people! Contact us to chat with other backpackers for references and more information.
