CBC Internship Program
This internship is a great opportunity for individuals to further their riding skills, training techniques and teaching abilities. In addition, interns will be exposed to general horse care knowledge and stable management skills by working directly with the trainer, barn manager, horse owners, clients, and other equine professionals.
There are 3 different levels of interns: Junior, Intermediate, and Senior. One is more than welcome to start out as a Junior Intern and work their way up to a Senior intern.
