looking for apprenticeship

My name is Julie Orr and I am looking for an apprenticeship in South Carolina or Virginia. I was wondering if anyone is taking on an apprentice? I am planning on attending Danny Ward's school in Martinsville, VA at some point in the near future, but I was curious to see if any one was currently looking for help. Would it be best if I went to school and then tried to find an apprenticeship? I would love any advice anyone has to offer.

I am currently the Barn Manager of a hunter/jumper farm in Blythewood, SC. I have very basic knowledge of trimming, but I am a fast learner. I am also a very hard worker. I am very comfortable with all types of horses from drafts to mini's, at all ages. I am athletic and very physically fit and I feel that I would be an asset to anyone. Thanks for the help, I'd appreicate any advice anyone has to offer!
