Have you ever wondered how to volunteer at those large horse events? Or what about working abroad at a horse facility? Today's EQA podcast is sharing insider secrets on just that. Probably the most important thing to remember is no volunteering job is too small if it gets you in the door. Being the gate opening at the warm-up ring may seem like a small position however you will get to watch all the jumpers. Working abroad goes the same way, perhaps cleaning stalls isn't as glamorous as leading beach gallops but there is always potential to learn about a new breed. There are lots of great resources available out there make sure you check out our website and receive your copy of Horse Riding in every state and country for free.
