Internship Opportunities
Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre, Puslinch (near Guelph), ON

Sunrise Therapeutic Riding & Learning Centre, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, provides internship opportunities as part of their year-round therapeutic riding program for children and adults with special needs. The intern will work towards instructor certification through the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association (CanTRA).

Through full-participation in all aspects of the Sunrise program, interns gain knowledge in therapeutic riding, horse care, and stable management. Working as part of the Sunrise team five days per week, interns live in the century stone farmhouse on the Sunrise property free-of-charge.

Sunrise’s interns are trained by Nicola Thibodeau, CanTRA Coach & Examiner, and, on a daily basis, Krista Breen, Sunrise Head Instructor, CTRI, EC Instructor. All of Sunrise’s instructors are certified therapeutic riding instructors through CanTRA and interns will have the opportunity to work with, and learn from, these instructors. The level of certification that will be achieved by the intern is dependent on the intern’s background and length of stay at Sunrise.
