The Four Sixes Ranch offers a paid internship for undergraduate college students looking to advance their knowledge and skill in the equine industry, with the potential for full-time employment if available. Whether you are interested in applying to vet school, or simply learning more of the basics of general care, reproduction, foaling, doctoring, vaccinations, and sale prep of horses; this is an internship you should consider. You will get a tremendous amount of hands-on experience and on-the-job training.
The Four Sixes Ranch has a state-of-the-art facility with advanced technology, a surgery suite and diagnostic tools to offer outside clientele and to be used on the nearly 1000+ head of horses currently on the ranch.
We stand approximately 24 stallions for on-site and cooled/shipped semen for artificial insemination, and breed around 1800+ mares annually. We are also a Select Breeders Services (SBS) affiliate lab for stallion freezing, and breed many mares throughout the season with frozen semen. Embryo transfer (fresh and vitirified transfers) are yet another service we routinely perform.
A positive attitude and good work ethic are required and in turn, we will provide a professional working and learning environment. It will be a physically demanding internship with long hours, lots of miles and hard work. But as many past interns have reported: “We have never worked so hard, but also never learned so much and had so much fun.” Average days are from 6 am to 7 pm; 6 days a week. Foaling rotations require overnight shifts. Additional requirements are the ability to lift at least 50 lbs (hay, feed sacks, foals, etc) and basic horsemanship skills in order to handle the wide variety of horses we see here at the ranch/breeding barn. Several positions are available for two different internship options. Depending on your school schedule or work availability, we can evaluate your situation on a case-by-case basis.
Interested applicants should send or e-mail a cover letter, resume and references to:
