Branscomb Farm has,  for several years, offered four or six-month residential working internships to young persons seriously interested in the breeding, training, and management of young warmblood horses destined for careers in jumping or dressage.  Our interns go through a rigorous application and selection process including ideally an interview with previous graduates of our  program. Candidates must be at least 18 years old, have proof of medical insurance, and be a resident of the USA or obtain a valid visa for study in the USA. Our interns reside in nicely furnished apartments with kitchen facilities on the farm within walking distance to the beach and local shopping.  Interns receive hands on training and coaching (riding) according to their ability and interests and are expected to participate fully with the day to day operation of the Farm along side the Farm's experienced professional riding, training, and veterinary staff. No more than 2 interns are accepted for any one period and completion reference letters are provided to graduates to assist them in gaining academic credit or employment. Interns will receive 1-2 days/week of personal recreation time off and may travel locally however it is important to recognize that this is a rigorous and serious horsemanship course and interns are expected to work hard and conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.    We are very proud of our alumni graduates as they go on to careers in our industry or return to their education with a mature knowledge of what goes into producing the elite equine athletes in our equestrian sports.  For more information or to request an application, please call the farm or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
