If you have looked through the many pages of this site, you have
seen there are plenty of opportunities to learn about riding,
training, showing, boarding, breeding and sales! There is also
a lot that goes on in the background that keeps ECETC running
smoothly. ECETC insists on a high standard of care for the
horses and clients. The horses must be exercised, fed,
groomed, stalls cleaned, tack oiled, stable swept, pastures and
grounds maintained and horses prepped for shows and sales.
Horse shows and events require a lot of work, including the
preparation work such as setting up courses, getting mailers and
flyers, as well as participation in the shows or working the shows,
ring stewards, show secretaries, etc. So you can see there is
plenty of opportunity to gain a wealth of experience in the
equestrian business world with ECETC.
ECETC employs working students as well as full-time and part-time
staff. Positions can include horse handlers, stall cleaners, instructors, camp counselors, and facility
maintenance personnel.
