To qualify for the six month working student program you will be asked to attend a 10-day trial period (boot camp) at the Haras. This way we get to know each other and you get to see the place and how it's going to be when you are here.
During the 10-day trial period you will be put to work and get to do most of the things that you will be doing during your six month stay. You will receive daily horsemanship lessons either with your own horse or with one of the ranch horses.
At the end of these 10 days we will discuss whether to accept or decline your application. You will be given a mark and feedback sheet, which will serve as a starting point for the development process of your six month course. This isn't a judgment but rather a measuring tool of where you are at for the start of your journey: where your talents and skills lie and where you have room and needs for progress.
If you intend to stay less than six month at Haras Naturel du Plessis your status would be a short term working student. Short term working students do not have to pass a boot camp but they have to pay for their stay. Please check out our Working Student Price List.
