Internship – Volunteer program at White Pegasus

Having a natural herd of horses and maintaining them and their stables along with children, goats, dogs is hard work but also a great learning environment for potential stable owners, vets, animal science majors etc. When starting the company, an internship program was created where students studying Animal Science, Equine science, veterinary or anything related to farm animals and their care, treatment, biology could come to White Pegasus and receive credit for their time spent here. Universities from the U.S., Denmark, Germany, Costa Rica, etc. have had students of theirs come and do their internships at the stables. International volunteer programs were also established through www.helpx.net, whereby volunteers from all over the world could come and, in exchange for food and board, offer their assistance with the horses, care, stable duties, trail rides etc.

Interested volunteers or interns were required to stay at the minimum 2 months or more, as it takes a while for people to learn the horses' grazing routes, trails, hierarchy, etc. as well as to build a decent rapport between the horses and their handlers.
