Job Description

Focus: Breaking in and training young showjumping horses

Gestüt Lewitz – Germany

Gestüt Lewitz is one of the largest and most renowned warmblood breeding and young horse training operations in Europe. Our focus is the professional development of young sport horses aged 3 to 5 years.

To strengthen our trainer team, we are looking for an experienced and motivated Trainer / Assistant Trainer (m/f/d) with a strong focus on breaking in and basic training of young horses – mainly showjumping horses, but experience with dressage horses is also welcome.

About the role

You will support our international team of young riders, grooms and trainers in the daily work with our young horses.

The main focus is the calm, horse-friendly and systematic education of young horses – from the first rides under saddle to confident basic work and small jumping exercises.

• Training and developing 3- to 5-year-old sport horses
• Guiding and supporting young riders from all over the world
