Horseback Riding Instructor

Simply Equine, LLC
Newark, NY Part Time
POSTED ON 4/7/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/5/2026

This is more than a teaching position — it’s an opportunity to be part of a positive, collaborative barn community that truly values instructors and the work they do.

We offer:

  • A beautiful year-round facility, designed for safety, accessibility, and ease of teaching
  • A friendly, experienced, and educated instructor team that supports one another
  • A family-focused, low-drama atmosphere where quality horsemanship matters more than pressure
  • Programs that are meaningful, well-run, and rewarding — including youth, adult, and Equine-Assisted Services (EAS)
  • Reliable pay, W-2 employment, and coverage under our insurance

If you enjoy teaching riders who are eager to learn, working with well-cared-for horses, and being part of a barn where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, you’ll feel at home here.

What You’ll Be Teaching

Depending on your experience and interests, you may teach:

  • Lungeline lessons and introductory lessons for beginners
  • English and Western fundamentals - mounted and unmounted
  • Unmounted horsemanship group lessons
  • Hunter/Jumper lessons
  • Equine-Assisted Services and Equine-Facilitated Learning

You’ll work with a mix of youth and adult riders, including advanced riders, in programs that emphasize correct fundamentals, confidence, and connection with the horse.

Instructors Role

  • Teach safe, engaging, and thoughtful riding lessons
  • School horses and assist with show preparation as needed
  • Support events and special programs throughout the year
  • Contribute positively to a team-oriented, respectful barn culture

There is no requirement to travel with students. Coaching at shows is optional and based on your interest.

What We’re Looking For

  • Prior teaching experience preferred
  • Strong horsemanship foundation and safety awareness
  • A positive, professional, and reliable teaching style
  • Comfort working with youth and adults
  • Riding video required with application
  • Certifications are a plus, but not required

Our Philosophy

We believe in accessible, high-quality horsemanship education for all ages, delivered in a casual, encouraging, and well-organized environment. Our focus is on building confident riders, happy horses, and long-term relationships within our barn community.
