Internships

Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center is a non-profit organization located on Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts whose mission is to provide a nurturing environment where horses and humans work together to transform lives. Our center is accredited through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International and is able to provide mentored teaching hours towards therapeutic riding certification or state of Massachusetts licensure.

We offer horsemanship and therapeutic programs that connect individuals of all ages and abilities to horses and the natural environment through unique, innovative and inclusive programming that is affordable for all. Our focus is the development of holistic horsemanship for all our students which includes riding skills, unmounted partnership exercises, horse care skills, and the ability to understand, interpret and adjust to how horses see the world. There is equal emphasis on mounted skill development and unmounted equine assisted learning activities.

We periodically have internship opportunities available with responsibilities that could include: teaching weekly classes, supporting pony rides and open houses, assisting with horse care and schooling, administrative tasks related to farm and program management. Positions can be adjusted to meet academic requirements. Housing and compensation available for the right individual.
