Summer Ranch Internship

A positive attitude and good work ethic are required and in turn, we will provide a professional working and learning environment. It will be a physically demanding internship with long hours, lots of miles and hard work. But as many past interns have reported: “We have never worked so hard, but also never learned so much and had so much fun.” Average days are from 6 am to 7 pm; 6 days a week. Foaling rotations require overnight shifts. Additional requirements are the ability to lift at least 50 lbs (hay, feed sacks, foals, etc) and basic horsemanship skills in order to handle the wide variety of horses we see here at the ranch/breeding barn. Several positions are available for two different internship options. Depending on your school schedule or work availability, we can evaluate your situation on a case-by-case basis.
