Our spring internship position is available once again. Every year our farm takes on a 10 week intern who wants to experience all aspects of managing a farm. This is not a “clean stalls in exchange for riding” position. This position is for the dedicated individual wanting to learn how to effectively and efficiently run a farm. The spring 2024 position will have a higher focus on c**t starting and problem solving.
The program is designed to teach: Horsemanship skills, training, pasture management, feed and finances, professional etiquette, marketing, herd management, and riding.
Those interested must be over 18, have transportation, willing to put 10 hours a week minimum on the farm (although you may put in as much as 25 if desired), tack helpful but not necessary, confident but willing to learn rider helpful, professional farm attire, willingness to learn our techniques and philosophies, above all a good and positive attitude.
This is not a paid position, and is not a free labor position either. This is a working internship to prepare for farm ownership or barn management. Opportunities may arise to make money as projects always happen on the farm. It is not expected or required to accept these offers. Our hope is that we can teach and network to help get you in the industry after the internship.
