Working student position available

Ready to accelerate your horsemanship journey? The EPI Working Student program exposes you to more than a dozen equine personalities, providing an opportunity to learn and practice a wide variety of skills and strategies as you participate in the day-to-day operations of a working horse ranch.

Our working students learn horse-keeping from a natural perspective that respects equine psychology and priorities and results in happy, confident, contented horses. The standard to-do list includes feeding, watering, and cleaning pens. Other duties vary to give students a chance to be involved in all aspects of professional ranch management. The working student program includes a morning shift and an evening shift, two days per week. Each shift takes about three hours.

Preference is given to Parelli students of any level. A “job share” with a morning shift person and an evening person is possible. Please email me at equinepartnersinc@gmail.com or call (530) 559-1602 for more information.
