All About Erika!

This weekend was all about our favorite redhead … Erika Louvo! Stephen and Erika headed down the road to Great Meadow International (brought to you by the ever generous Mars Equestrian) where they finished 12th in a very large, very competitive CCI2*-S division!

The pair only added a tiny bit of time to their awesome dressage score to drop down in the placings a bit. But overall Erika was foot perfect! We all can’t wait to see where they go next!

Assistant Manager/Rider Needed

We’re looking to add to their team! This position is flexible in terms of full- or part-time, but the ideal candidate would have experience competing through Preliminary with a strong flatwork background.

Responsibilities will include working alongside our full-time manager for the day-to-day care for our 12-15 horse program, in addition to helping with flatting and hacking horses. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to immerse themselves in a proven program, where they are guaranteed to receive individual attention. We’re looking for the right person, and will work with this person to mold the position to be mutually beneficial.

Compensation to be discussed with individual applicants, but it will be a combination of housing, board, training and salary. 

To apply email your resume and riding video(s) to ssbradleyeventing@gmail.com.
