is there a job where i can learn how to ride horses in italy


is there a job where i can learn how to ride horses in italy?
I want to find a way to learn how to ride horses (as in going on long trails, and ride them really fast). is there a job i could have where i can learn how to do that at the same time as riding horses? i plan on traveling to Italy after school ends, and i dont care about making alot of money, i just want to make enough to be able to travel more if i decide i want to, and to have a place to stay and eat. and if there is a job like this or close to this, where would i go to do it? thanks

Yeah you can... Try researching Equestrian Jobs. You can also see if there are any jobs available over there for horse camps. Also try horse racing jobs... I hoped i helped.. :)

There are some equestrian centers here in various places, but not a huge number. The problem is that it would be illegal for you to work here coming from the US unless you have a visa that allows you to work. EU citizens have the right to live and work freely within the EU, others cannot automatically live and work here. The site for visas here in Italy is: http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp . The site has links to the application, the additional information you need to supply in order to get the visa and where to apply. A work permit is separate - you cannot apply for that yourself. The company has to apply and they have to be able to demonstrate that there is not a viable EU candidate for the job. As a result, jobs for foreigners including Canadian or US citizens are pretty much restricted to people with special education, knowledge, or experience ... and you would have to be able to speak the local language. The type of work you're looking for is unlikely since there will be tons of European candidates for those positions and unemployment is high here right now. If you were Canadian, you could look into a working holiday visa, but those are not available to US citizens.
