We’re striving to create a team of trainers & instructors that have higher expectations of horses by developing a better understanding of the horse's mind and how they communicate.
Windwalker Academy is broken down into a 3 phase internship:
•Phase #1: Shadowing
Complete our 12-week internship shadowing program. This phase of the internship requires a minimum of a 20-hour-per-week commitment each week, with flexibility to set your schedule (we ask that the hours/schedule is the same each week). During this phase of the internship, you will have the opportunity to experience life on the farm and gain insight into our daily operations. At the same time, we will observe how you collaborate with our team and adapt to our team culture.
What Phase #1 Shadowing consist of:
•Day-to-day life with us on the farm.
•Help with the daily operation of the farm which includes feeding, chores, farm work, and program assistance.
•Introduction to our natural horsemanship program and farm school programs.
•Lessons, trail riding, groundwork sessions, and training seminars.
•Phase #2: Training
Jump on board as an unpaid intern as you complete our 12-week internship training program. In this phase you will gain the necessary skills to teach both horses and people effectively and confidently. This phase will pave the way for you to transition into a paid position (Phase #3).
•Phase #3: Diving Deeper
Join our team as a paid team member and continue your never ending educational journey in natural horsemanship. Generally, after 2 to 5 years of phase #3 we allow our interns the opportunity to be coached through starting one of our colts.
Applications can be filled out at the bottom of this page. Once your application is received we will contact you to schedule an interview.
Applicants must be at least 16 or older, have reliable transportation, and must be physically fit with full mobility. We’re looking for applicants that are passionate, driven, and have a heart for people (especially children).
Not every applicant who completes phase #1 will be accepted into phase #2. Not all applicants will be able to progress to phase #3 after 12 weeks of training. We may offer the opportunity for them to extend their training until they are ready for phase #3. There is no guarantee of moving to phase #3.
