Working Student Program:

 

Format:
Students are welcome at Spring Run for various lengths of stay. Some students are on the farm for as short as a weekend while others stay for a week, several months, or a year. Students are encouraged to bring their own horse(s) but we can provide a horse for those who are not able to do so. Most students live in our rec room over our three car garage. This has a sleeping area, bathroom and shower, a refrigerator, and eating area. Major meals are cooked in our kitchen.

Daily Schedule:
Students work a half day (approximately five and one-half hours) and have one lesson daily. They are responsible for the care of their own horse(s), which includes feeding, stalls, and turn-out; in addition to their regular chores. Students are encouraged to watch other lessons and school extra horses whenever possible. All students use time cards to keep track of their hours worked. All students have a minimum of one day off per week.

Fees:
Working students are credited at an hourly rate that is negotiated in advance with Susan. Half-hour private lessons are $45.00 per lesson. One hour group lessons are $45.00. Extended privates and other special lessons or coaching are charged accordingly. Students are responsible for their horse’s board which is $575.00 per month or $25.00 per day if here less than one month, and their housing. If their housing is at Spring Run, the fee is $140.00 per week or $25.00 per day if staying less than one week.

We look forward to having you at Spring Run. For more information please call Susan Harris at
