FEI trainer looking for a part time groom.

Encore Sporthorse needs you!

Join our fun team of horses, staff and clients. We are an active dressage training facility. We love dressage, love to try some obstacles and working equitation days and love to hack out and maybe even a jump or two.

Duties include grooming and preparing horses to be ridden. Maintaining manes and tails. Keeping tack clean. Using Bemer, Surefoot and Theraplate on training horses. Some turning in or out of horses. Days and hours are flexible. Could also include grooming at shows.

Contact Susie Wiedman at [email protected]

Trotting cavaletti are spaced about 4 and a half feet apart, but there will be some variation, so start there and if the horse seems to struggle, shorten or lengthen depending upon what you see.

The word “cavaletti” in Italian, I was told, means “little sawhorse,” which has nothing, actually, to do with live horses. But these can be good for getting horses to figure out where their feet have to go, and they can be placed to trot over before a small following jump.

If you are involved with jumping, it only makes sense to become familiar with distances in all sorts of gymnastic lines. Jim Wofford wrote a book about these, as did Reiner Klimke, If you are serious about becoming more than a dependent amateur, learn this “stuff.”

This was Lighting Magic, a young Thoroughbred I bought in the spring of 1962. It’s at HLM Van Schaik’s farm in Cavendish, Vermont later that summer, getting ready for our first 3-day event at GMHA in July of 1962.

Mr Van Schaik had been on the Dutch silver medal winning show jumping team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and after the devastation of World War 2, he and his family emigrated to the USA. So many of our instructors 50-60 years ago were either former or current military officers, many from war ravaged countries, Poland, Holland, Hungary, Russia, people seeking a new life here.

When the Van Schaiks first moved to Cavendish, nobody knew that in their midst was such a gifted expert in horsemanship, and it took quite a few years before the Upper Valley horse community found out about Mr Van Schaik. Luckily for me, he lived just 7 miles from my parents’ place in South Reading, Vermont, an easy 20 minute drive on dirt roads.
