If you have looked through the many pages of this site, you have seen there are plenty opportunities to learn about riding, training, showing, boarding, breeding and sales!  There is also lot that goes on in the background that keeps ECETC running smoothly.  ECETC insists on a high standard of horse care.  The horses must be exercised, fed, groomed, stalls cleaned, tack cleaned, stable swept, pastures and grounds maintained and horses prepped for shows and sales. 

Horse shows and events require lot of work in the background, including prep work, such as setting up courses, mailers, and flyers as well as participation in the show or working the concession stand, ring stewards, show secretaries, etc. So you can see there is plenty of opportunity to gain a wealth of experience in the horse business with ECETC.

ECETC employs for full time, part time and also has a working student program.
