I saw a post tonight on Facebook that I just had to share! Breyer Model Horses are looking for a social media or marketing person. They are advertising that they are seeking an eCommerce intern on a part time basis to assist them over summer.

According to their post, the position is 2-3 days per week in their headquarters at Pequannock, NJ.

Ideally the candidate will be a Breyer/horse lover, a self-starter and ready to “use their knowledge in a professional setting.” A plus would also be familiarity with the model hobby horse world!

Further information is provided on their careers page, for those who are interested in applying! Find out via https://www.breyerhorses.com/pages/employment. Following that link will take you to a page that outlines duties and responsibilities, requirements and who to send your cover letter and resume to, about the position.

Obviously the skills in this particular internship aren’t horse focused, but boy is it a horse focused position! Whilst not hands on with horses, you’ll get to develop connections – and show off your skills – with an incredibly well-known model horse brand. If this suits your skills and passion, find out about applying!

In honour of Les’ lifetime commitment to the thoroughbred industry, AgriFutures Australia Thoroughbred Horses Program established the Les Young Scholarship. This scholarship will continue Les’ legacy as a supporter and mentor in the industry he dedicated so much to by providing young people the opportunity to further their skills and knowledge.”

    KER Internship

    February 15, 2024 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

    Recently on LinkedIn I saw a post shared by Kentucky Equine Research (KER). It was about an upcoming internship. Applications close soon, February 20th. The yearlong internship runs from summer to summer and is open to domestic applicants (within the United States) as well as international applicants.

    According to their website:

    KER Internship | Equus Education
    KER Internship | Equus Education
      – The Kentucky Equine Research internship program offers the practical experience necessary to understand and implement research protocols.
      – Imparts the skills necessary to assist in the everyday management of a large and busy research facility, often interfacing scientific design with practical solutions.
      – Provides instruction on how to conduct nutrition and exercise physiology experiments, including data and sample collection.
      – Exposes interns to basic laboratory equipment integral to research trials.”

    It is possible to apply for this internship up until February 20th as indicated above. A decision will be made a month later, by March 20th. Location listed on the site for the yearlong internship indicates Versailles, Kentucky and Ocala, Florida.

    KER Internship

    As a big thoroughbred fan, I’d be keen to be located that close to Lexington, Kentucky! And of course, being able to focus on equine nutrition and exercise physiology would be an incredible experience. The added bonus is that the position is paid and housing is provided. What an incredible opportunity!

    If this appeals to you, you have graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree and are particularly passionate about equine nutrition and exercise physiology, check it out! And if you’re not quite there yet, as an annual event, perhaps it is one to put in your calendar to consider for 2025.

    Fast Track TBA – Applications Now Open

    February 7, 2024 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

    I have been informed that Thoroughbred Breeders Australia’s Fast Track program is once again open for applications. This is a program that I believe would be of great appeal to young adults working in the thoroughbred industry.

    I am aware that is has been running successfully in NSW for a number of years. It is also worth pointing out that the program is expanding to other states within Australia.

    The program was replicated last year here in Victoria through GOTAFE. And it is going to be undertaken again for 2024.

    The Australian breeding sector is a world-leader and our horses are recognised for their brilliance on the global stage. Our breeding industry is the biggest after America, meaning thoroughbreds make a huge contribution to the regional economy, supporting thousands of jobs directly, as well as many more in related areas such as horse transport, fencing, fodder and insurance.

    Thoroughbred Breeders Australia is committed to helping the industry find the next generation of workers and dedicates significant time and resources to finding enthusiastic people to take up roles on studs across the country.” – About the Fast Track Program | Thoroughbred Breeders Australia

    Now if you’ve read my posts throughout this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I absolutely love the thoroughbred industry. It pays well, and has incredible opportunities around Australia and overseas. It also exposes horse workers to a myriad of classes – mares, foals, weanlings, yearlings and stallions.

    If you work on a small or large thoroughbred stud, you will gain opportunities to develop so very many skills in relation to horse care.

    Fast Track TBA – Applications now open

    Being able to undertake training and formalise your skills and knowledge with a certification is worth pursuing. An added bonus is it being ‘fast track’. Over a 12-month period (for a qualification that is usually over an 18-month period) you can achieve this. You can find out more about the Fast Track program through the above link, or even look at the application form here.

    Equine Stock Photos

    January 18, 2024 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

    Recently, equine photographer Shelley Paulson shared on LinkedIn about her equine stock photos. In fact, it was about an additional 2,000 photos she has recently added to her online library. At the time that she posted about this, she shared that her

    Premium Equine Stock Photo Library features over 15,000 authentic equestrian-approved photos and videos.”

    Wow!

    As a horse person, I find it very easy to distinguish between a good (horse) photographer and one that doesn’t know horses. It may be the horse’s pose, ears in the wrong position, the handler on the wrong side, or something else. But, something that may not be noticed by a photographer who doesn’t know much about horses will be very quickly picked up by a horse person!

    An example? Recently I had someone from a Marketing department invert a photo of me with a horse. This resulted in me leading from the ‘wrong side’. They did it to make the image work with the text they wanted to put over it. But to me, it screamed ‘incorrect!’

    Equine Stock Photos – Shelley Paulson, Photographer

    Having an equine photographer who is great at taking quality photos and knows what makes a good horse picture is a wonderful thing.

    I can tell you now, that Shelley’s horse photos are well worth checking out. You can do so via https://shelleypaulsonstock.com/ – perhaps you’ll find something that appeals for your next horse related event, book or website that needs a photo – or two! And if you’re a photographer yourself – who knows horses – perhaps it can be some great food for thought about your own equine photography career.

    And of course, how you may build up an extra source of income. This just screams passive income to me!

    Want to learn a little more about Shelley and what she does? I encourage you to look at the profile that Equus Education did on her in late 2022 and her Equicapture Photo App! In this digital day and age, there are so many opportunities for those with the skills who are willing to think outside the box.
