It’s no secret that I am such a large fan of the thoroughbred breeding industry. So I wanted to share that applications have been opened for the Fast Track Program for 2020. I saw this advertised recently on the Racing Jobs website. Further research on the Thoroughbred Breeders Australia website indicates:
Looking for an exciting career with horses?
- 12-month traineeships on offer
- Work on a respected stud farm
- Get paid to study a formal qualification
- Kick-start your career in the thoroughbred breeding industry
Want to find out more about the fast track program? You can check it out on their website. They also state:
A limited number of applicants will be selected to take part in the 12-month program which incorporates a mix of on-the-job training and formal study.
If successful, you will be assigned to a reputable stud farm where you will be employed via a full-time traineeship. You will also be enrolled in a Certificate III in Horse Breeding; a nationally recognised qualification.
Over the 12 month period, trainees will attend two intensive learning blocks (6 weeks in total) with the first block commencing shortly after enrolment. These blocks are designed to provide the theoretical knowledge needed to complement the on-farm training.
This formal aspect of the program will take place in Scone NSW, which is in the heart of one of the world’s biggest breeding centres.

You can apply for the Fast Track Program online. Applications close March 13th.
Perhaps it’s a sign of an obsession that I would apply for this in a heartbeat and surely love it! Even though I already have horse breeding qualifications at the Certificate III level and higher. There is nothing quite like learning about horses, travelling, gaining a qualification and also networking in a great industry!
