Beautiful people, beautiful horses.
I had to strive to be an effective, clear, and authoritative communicator in order to make sure that everything ran smoothly.
Blue Star Equiculture is an organic farm and draft horse sanctuary, located in Palmer, MA.
My internship: As an intern at Blue Star Equiculture, I was responsible for managing the barn, 30 horses, and 30+ volunteers per week. I also assisted in handling, desensitizing, and training 6 young draft horses to drive and ride, and I gave riding lessons to some of the volunteers working in the barn.
To make this all work, I had to develop some serious organizational skills, and I had to strive to be an effective, clear, and authoritative communicator in order to make sure that everything ran smoothly. Working at Blue Star Equiculture is truly a dream come true.
I learned to manage a horse farm, run a non-profit, and to maintain an organic garden. Not to mention, being surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful horses.
