Emerald Kwinn: Kentucky Horse Park
Emerald Kwinn welcomes students to the Kentucky Horse Park
This summer, I served as an intern for the Kentucky Horse Park’s 2025 Youth Riding Program and Mustang Troop summer camps. During my internship, I took on a wide range of barn duties and responsibilities, including daily catching and grooming horses, cleaning stalls, assisting children in the classroom, and handling horses during riding sessions. I also had the opportunity to mentor the campers and support their learning throughout the program.
I highly recommend this internship to other students. From the very first day, I gained valuable hands-on experience and expanded my knowledge of horse care and horsemanship. I especially enjoyed working closely with the horses, participating in training techniques, exploring different areas of the park, and constantly learning something new. This internship was both educational and rewarding, and I’m grateful for everything it taught me. — Emerald Kwinn
