The Kentucky Equine Management Internship (KEMI) program is now accepting
applications for our Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 internship program
The KEMI program (www.kemi.org) offers internship sessions twice each year
to college students who are interested in gaining more hands-on experience
with horses and who are looking for careers in the horse industry.
During the 22 week internship, interns live and work on Central Kentucky
Thoroughbred horse farms. Housing and an hourly stipend are provided to the
interns.
The Fall session (July-December) lasts for 22 weeks and interns work with
sales weanlings, yearlings and broodmares and some interns with exceptional
riding skills will assist in the breaking and early training of yearlings.
The upcoming Fall 2011 session begins on July 11, 2011 and ends on December
9, 2011. In addition to the hands-on work with the horses, the interns
attend weekly educational seminars and are given multiple opportunities to
network with industry professionals.
Our Spring session (January-June) also lasts for 22 weeks and interns learn
all about equine reproduction by working with broodmares and foals.
These interns also attend weekly seminars and also are provided with
networking opportunites.
Applications for Fall 2011 must be postmarked by April 30, 2011 and
applications for Spring 2012 must be postmarked by October 31, 2011.
