Internship Q&A

What do you suggest for our personal specialty project?
Specialty projects can literally be anything. Here's some ideas from the past:
  • Working with babies and young stock
  • Providing extra-attention to the non-riding horses or lame horses, whether with rehab or just keeping their minds busy with groundwork and games
  • Building Projects, such as construction projects on the barn, building arena obstacles such as jumps or our hunter pace course
  • Management Skills - managing our teenagers and volunteers on various shortterm or longterm tasks
  • Teaching or Co-Teaching Lessons
  • Barn Organization and Creating Efficiency Systems
  • And beyond....
Can I take lessons?
You can totally either pay for lessons or apply your stipend towards lessons at the barn. We can give a large discount for this as well. 
We also strongly encourage our interns to teach one another and exchange knowledge. Teaching each other provides pedagogical practice for the teaching intern and a set of eyes and instruction for the riding intern.

Do I need to bring towels and bed linens?
We have linens here! Don't worry!

Will there be laundry facilities so I can do my laundry?
You have full use of my laundry - just use your own soap. We only ask that you don't go overboard and use up all of the hot water all of the time.
