Guidance at competitions
SHSporthorses offers internships for students looking for a recognized internship location. Under supervision, the student will learn all the ins and outs of the equestrian world. Once the student has mastered the tasks, he or she will be allowed to work independently. We discuss the learning objectives in advance so that the student will have gained a wealth of knowledge by the end of the internship! SH Sporthorses is an Aequor-accredited training company. We recently welcomed students from Norwin College, Anna Maria van Schurman, and Deurne.
