From Maya on Aug 16, 2022

Hey everyone! Here’s a little video of the biggest show we’ve ever been to!

Interviewer: Hi Maya and June, thanks for speaking with me today. Can you tell us a bit about the working student program at Millpond Equestrian Center?

Maya: Of course, the working student program at Millpond Equestrian Center is designed to provide hands-on experience working with horses, as well as opportunities for professional development and learning.

June: Yes, the program is open to riders of all levels, from beginners to advanced riders. We work with Elizabeth Evans, the head trainer, and assist her in all aspects of horse care and training.

Interviewer: That sounds like a great learning opportunity. What does a typical day look like for a working student at Millpond Equestrian Center?

Maya: A typical day starts early in the morning with feeding and turnout for the horses. Then we assist with grooming, tacking up, and other barn chores. After that, we might help with training sessions or lessons, or assist with horse shows or events.

June: We also have opportunities to learn about horse care, health, and nutrition, and work with other professionals such as veterinarians and farriers.

Interviewer: That sounds like a well-rounded experience. Maya, I see you have a YouTube channel focused on mules. How has the working student program at Millpond Equestrian Center helped you in your YouTube endeavors?

Maya: The working student program has been incredibly valuable for me. I've learned so much about horse care and training, which has helped me in my own work with mules. It's also provided me with content for my YouTube channel, as I've been able to share my experiences working with the horses and mules at the center.

Interviewer: That's great to hear. And June, what do you think are some of the key benefits of the working student program at Millpond Equestrian Center?

June: I think one of the biggest benefits is the opportunity to work with and learn from Elizabeth Evans, who has a wealth of experience in the equestrian industry. We also get to work with a variety of horses and riders, which is great for expanding our skills and knowledge.

Interviewer: Thank you both for sharing your experiences with us. It sounds like the working student program at Millpond Equestrian Center is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to gain hands-on experience with horses and further their equestrian education.
