Partner with Riverwood Ranch: Space Available for an Experienced Horse Training Business

Riverwood Ranch is offering a unique opportunity for a professional horse training operation to rent space at our facility and work alongside our team.

We are excited to welcome a like-minded trainer who shares our commitment to quality horsemanship. While we have an established in-house training program, our expansive facility has the capacity to support another dedicated operation. We are seeking a trainer whose methodologies align with ours, ensuring consistency in training philosophy and care while operating independently within our facility.

What We Offer
This rental opportunity includes access to our top-tier amenities, including:
✅ A beautiful-new 80’x200’ indoor arena
✅ A self-guided trail system through the Pembina River Valley
✅ Obstacle courses and cattle work opportunities for training
✅ Spacious, electro-braid paddocks with auto waterers and shelter for client horses
✅ A fully heated lobby, kitchen, and client center
✅ Wash bay, tack locker, and trailer parking
✅ Exclusive membership benefits to Riverwood Ranch events, including theory presentations, obstacle playdays, clinics, and the potential to host your own clinic series

Our Expectations
🔹 Trainers must comply with Ranch biosecurity policies (vaccinations and health requirements)
🔹 Training operations must meet Riverwood Ranch’s insurance requirements
🔹 A strong emphasis on team collaboration and upholding our training philosophy
🔹 Potential opportunities to train under Riverwood’s client list

➡ Please note: Riverwood Ranch is not currently looking to hire a trainer as an employee. This opportunity is for an independent trainer with their own business to rent space at our facility.

This is a rental opportunity for an independent trainer or training business, with pricing and arrangements discussed on an individual basis.

How to Apply
If you are interested in this exciting opportunity, please send a cover letter and resume outlining:
✔ Your training operation & experience
✔ References
✔ Specific requests or requirements for our facility
✔ Photos and/or videos showcasing your riding ability and training methods

Was a Wild New Year’s Eve Party at Riverwood Ranch!!!! Beyond excited to try out our new dust suppressant for the indoor arena. This goes along way in creating a healthier environment for both horses and riders, while also making the arena way easier to keep clean. The arena will be ready for haul ins, events and lessons, “dust free” this winter!!!

Well sometimes life doesn’t go like you planned it! Ended up having a wreck this past week on a c**t that luckily didn’t result in any broken bones, just a sore body for this cowpoke. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we have taken a break from lessons and training to heal up! Hoping to get some dates up on the calender soon! Thank you for all the kind messages. I’m ok and getting healed up! Sometimes things just have to get a little western. Photo by
