How do you get your foot in the door with an awesome trainer or barn for a summer internship? A spectacular resume?? or does that even matter? I have experience. I have tons of references. I just need guidance and would love nothing more than to spend the summer hauling with someone and help make there life easier or help them ride horses and learn from them. I am just not sure how to get someone to give me a chance.
Any ideas???
If you were let's say... Jolene Montgomery... what could I do to at least consider the idea? LOL
Am I dreaming too big?

I would start by visiting their farms and talking with them. Don't get you expectations up to high most have their riders already in place and you will be cleaning stalls, cooling out horses, the grunt stuff. I have not seen many trainers that would let the intern travel with them but that doesn't mean they are not people out there that would let you. Good luck and enjoy even cleans stalls you learn a lot.

Get on your horse and show them what you can do. Take videos of you riding/working/training horses, MULTIPLE horses. Having won some titles also helps as well.
