Looking for Hunter/Jumper Barns/Trainers near Kansas City

[CrazyRay]

I'm going to be attending college in Kansas City this coming fall and really desperately need a good barn to ride at. I'm from around Dallas, so I honestly have no clue where to start here. Does anyone know any trainers or barns looking for a good working student or catch rider (or maybe just a part-time worker in general)? I can really do any type of work, and I'll literally get on anything you point me at. I can also provide references if need be.

If nothing else, I just need a good trainer to take lessons from. It doesn't matter if it's in Kansas or Missouri, but I would really like to stay within an hours drive of the city.

I spend over half of the week on average riding and hanging out at my barn, so if I can't be around horses anymore I'll go crazy! I'm pretty sure that they're the only thing that keeps me sane nowadays, which I'm sure some of you will understand. :)

Thanks in advance for your help!

When I was younger my barn used to go to a show at White Fox Manor(?) which I think was in Olathe, KS. I can't remember who the trainer was!
