Are there special focuses during the intership?
Yes, preference is given to interns interested in assisting with young horse training/ colt starting. A key component of the internship may include learning and practicing the necessary steps for a young or inexperienced horse’s first rides. However, young horses are not always available – this depends on the current situation. If young horse training is an option, you’ll receive careful guidance and have the chance to gain valuable hands-on experience in this exciting field.
How long does the internship last?
The internship at Klaudia Duif’s horse farm has a minimum duration of three months. This timeframe ensures you have an intensive and educational experience. In these three months, you can fully immerse yourself in farm life, gain extensive knowledge, and become familiar with a variety of tasks and processes. This guarantees you’ll leave the internship with valuable insights and practical skills.
If you cannot or do not want to stay for three months, it is possible for you to come as an intensive student for one month. What does that mean? Since a one-month stay is comparable to an intensive course period and there is simply not enough time to familiarize yourself with the complex work processes on the farm. Special conditions apply to the costs of your accommodation.
Can I extend the internship?
Yes, extensions beyond the minimum duration are possible and can be arranged individually. Many interns choose to stay longer to deepen their experiences and gain even more insights into the life and work on the farm. If you’re interested, feel free to discuss it with us!
Can I bring my own horse?
Yes, bringing your own horse is strongly encouraged! Since horses are not provided for the internship, this gives you the opportunity to experience your time on the farm alongside your horse and apply what you learn directly. If you don’t have a horse, you can still participate and benefit from the diverse learning opportunities and gain valuable experiences.
What costs should I expect?
As an intern, you are only responsible for your personal expenses (such as food or personal costs). Your work on the farm includes free accommodation. Horses you bring with you can be boarded under special conditions. If you would like to bring one or more horses, feel free to contact me to discuss the exact terms individually!

No, please make sure you leave enough room to focus on learning and working. This can be challenging with pets.
