Full Moon Equestrian

🌿 Opportunity for an Independent Riding Instructor or Trainer 🐴

Do you have an established lesson or training program and dream of teaching at a beautiful facility without the enormous expense of owning your own farm?

Full Moon Equestrian is looking for the right instructor or trainer to join our equestrian community and bring their own program to our facility.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about horses, values excellent horsemanship, and wants to grow alongside an established barn.

✨ Our facility includes:
• Large arena with jumps
• Round pen
• Scenic trails
• 18-stall barn
• Multiple turnout areas
• Plenty of parking
• Friendly, supportive atmosphere
• Well established program and community

We’re open to many disciplines including hunter/jumper, dressage, western, eventing, groundwork, recreational riding, liberty, natural horsemanship, and more.

This is an opportunity to build your business while becoming part of a collaborative horse community—not just renting space.

If you or someone you know might be a great fit, we’d love to talk! Please message us for details.

Please share! You never know who may be looking for their perfect home.

This! This! This! Amazing read and absolutely needs to be talked about more openly. I cringe when I see people thinking that “top notch care” is a stall and individual turnout. Horses deserve enriching lives. They deserve friends forage and freedom!

It is not a “privilege” to be able to have horses in turnout with other horses.

It is a privilege to have a horse in the first place, not a right.

It is troubling seeing people comment on posts advocating for some of the most basic needs of horses: friends, freedom and forage, and act like those who can provide these needs are just “fortunate.”

Choosing to get animals that we cannot meet the basic needs for is selfish.

Having a horse in the first place is a privilege.

We are not owed it. We are not promised it.

So, the act of choosing to get a horse anyways even knowing that one can only offer complete isolation and tiny spaces is selfish.

It’s not for the horse at all, it’s for the human.

We shouldn’t feel so entitled to access of horses that we feel we are in the right to get one even when we can only offer care that’s so closely correlated with an abundance of welfare issues.

Group turnout and space to move doesn’t only have to look like a massive herd on 100 acres of grass.

It can be a couple of horses on a track system.

It can be a dry lot with hay areas.

There are many options.

But, bottom line: horses deserve enriching lives where their innate species needs are taken seriously.

It is a devastating travesty that so many horses will never know the freedom of getting to run and play of their own accord and will only ever have access to enough space to canter when a rider is seated on them controlling them.

Riding can never and will never make up for autonomous movement.

Choice (freedom) is intrinsically important.

So, no, it isn’t a privilege to provide the basic needs of the horse.

It’s a privilege to have a horse in the first place.
