Grace'in Performance Horses.

28/06/2021

Had a great weekend at the Hunter Show put on by Kathy Zimmer this last weekend at the NYS Fairgrounds! I took TTR Mississippikitty and Pirate Bae (owned by Amy Bittner) to go school as this was their first times in a show environment and both schooled so well I decided to enter them in some classes! TTR Mississippikitty continued to prove she is truly a wonder pony placing 6th in the 2’3”. Pirate Bae placed 3rd in the Open Hunter Pleasure showing a promising future show career.

Hiring!

The Grace’in Performance Horse team needs to add another member, or possibly multiple members, as my program is quickly growing!

I am looking for someone to assist with barn chores, such as feedings, cleaning stalls, and more, three or four days a week in exchange for lessons or discounted training for the right horse. This position could also turn into more of an ASSISTANT TRAINER/INTERN position for the right hardworking individual. As show season approaches, I’d love to find someone I can trust with maintaining my program while I’m occasionally away.

Please PM me or contact me if you are interested! Wonderful work atmosphere with great people and talented horses! Located in Auburn, New York.
