Student Assistant Application: Ocean View Stables

At Ocean View Stables, we invite dedicated students to apply once they have completed Level 1 as an active Lesson Club member. As a Student Assistant you earn loyalty points toward free lessons. Becoming a Student Assistant provides the opportunity to further your knowledge of horses and refine the skills you've learned during your lessons. As our program emphasizes comprehensive horsemanship, it's essential to understand the intricacies of horse care and the operations of our facility. After you are accepted, book your time to help out on the Student Assistant Program page. We offer various opportunities to assist, as outlined below.
