Applications for the Spring 2023 Kentucky Equine Management Internship are now open! We are excited to offer weekly virtual Q&A sessions for all questions and inquiries about the internship. Additionally, emails may be sent to info@kemi.org with questions.
The Spring 2023 Kentucky Equine Management Internship starts with a traditional orientation short course that gives all interns an up to date understanding of the Thoroughbred industry in Lexington, Kentucky. After the first week, interns are employed by participating farms as full-time employees where they become familiar with the day-to-day operations of commercial Thoroughbred farms. The Spring session provides students with an overview of the intensive management practices used on commercial Thoroughbred breeding operations. On a day-to-day basis, most interns will be involved in the care of pregnant and foaling mares. Some farms may require interns to participate in “foal watch” rotations and/or help with neonatal care during evenings and nights. As students become more experienced, they may be expected to take mares to breeding sheds, assist with veterinary care, or preform some recording keeping.
