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:
– 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.

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.
