Dream Internship: Join the Vietnam Equestrian Club Team!

Living the dream in Vietnam

Have you ever spent your whole day sitting at a desk and just wished you were outside? We totally get it! Life is way too short to spend it staring at a computer screen when there are horses to ride and adventures to be had. We are so excited to announce that we are looking for a few awesome interns to join our team here at the Vietnam Equestrian Club (VEC). It is going to be such a fun time and we really want people who are as crazy about horses as we are!

We are planning to make this the best internship ever. Imagine waking up in the beautiful countryside of Da Nang and Hoi An, heading over to the ranch, and seeing our beautiful horses waiting for you. It’s not just a job, it’s a whole lifestyle and we are really excited to share it with some fresh faces. We are working hard to grow our community and we need your help to make VEC the most adventurous spot in Vietnam.

What you will be doing every day

You might be wondering what a typical day looks like for an intern at VEC. Well, it is definitely not boring! We are looking for people to help us with all sorts of things. One of the main things you will be doing is helping out with our famous trail rides. We are adding more and more rides to our schedule because people just love riding through the local scenery. You will get to assist our guides, help guests get comfortable on their horses, and maybe even lead some rides once you get the hang of it!

Feeding the horses is another huge part of the job. There is something really special about being the one to bring the horses their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You really get to know their personalities and they start to recognize you as their best friend. We are also working on some general ranch maintenance to keep the place looking stunning. Whether it is fixing a fence or making sure the tack room is organized, there is always something to do to keep the club running smoothly.

The best part: No poop cleanup!

Okay, we have to talk about the best part of this whole deal. Most ranch jobs involve a lot of, well, "heavy lifting" when it comes to the stalls. But guess what? We have a dedicated team for that! You read that right. You get to spend all your time doing the fun stuff like riding, feeding, and hanging out with the horses without having to worry about manure cleanup. We wanted to make this internship really focused on the experience of being an equestrian professional, so we took the "poop duty" off the table for our interns.

We think this is a total game-changer. It means you have more energy to focus on learning about horse behavior and helping our guests have the best time ever. We are really excited to offer a position that is all about the passion for horses and less about the mess! It is all part of our goal to make VEC a place where everyone feels like they are on a permanent adventure.

Earn while you learn

We know that being an intern usually means you are working for the experience, but we wanted to do something a little extra for our team. We are offering commission on customer sessions that you participate in! This is such a cool way to earn some extra cash while you are learning the ropes. If you are helping out with a professional photo video shoot or assisting with a big group, you get a piece of the action.

We are planning to keep our sessions super busy this year, so there will be plenty of opportunities to earn. Whether it is a sunset ride or a special event, your hard work will actually put some money in your pocket. We think it’s only fair since you are helping us give our guests such an amazing time.

What we are looking for

We are not just looking for anyone; we are looking for a select group of people who really love the outdoor life. You don’t need to be a world-class rider to apply, but you definitely need to have a great attitude and a willingness to learn. We are looking for people who are proactive and don't mind getting their hands a little dirty (just not with poop!). If you are someone who loves being around animals and enjoys meeting new people from all over the world, then you are exactly who we want.

We are really excited to see how our new interns will bring their own energy to the club. We are working on building a team that feels like a family. We want people who are ready to jump into the action and help us maintain our reputation as the best equestrian spot in the country. It is all about having fun and making sure our horses are happy and healthy.

Developing your skills

This isn't just about helping us out; it’s about your growth too! We are planning to give our interns lots of hands-on training. You will learn so much about horse care, saddling, and even some advanced riding techniques.

We are working on some new training modules for our staff because we want everyone to be the best they can be. You will get to learn from our experienced trainers who have been doing this for years. They have so many stories and tips to share. It is like getting a masterclass in ranch life every single day. We are really excited to see our interns grow from beginners into confident horse people.

The vibe at VEC

The atmosphere here is really something special. We are located in one of the most beautiful parts of Vietnam, and the energy is always positive. We are adding new seating areas and places for people to hang out, so the ranch is becoming a real social hub. It’s not just about the riding; it’s about the community. We often have BBQs and hangouts after the sun goes down, and we want our interns to be right in the middle of it.

We are working on making VEC a destination for anyone who loves adventure. Whether we are planning a beach ride or just hanging out in the training arena lounge in the evening, there is always a sense of excitement. We really want you to feel like this is your second home. It’s a place where you can be yourself, learn new things, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Ranch maintenance and grooming

While we have a team for the heavy cleaning, looking after the horses' appearance and the ranch's "look" is something we all do together. We are really excited about our outdoor wash area where we groom the horses. There is something so relaxing about brushing a horse and making sure they look their best before a session. It’s a great time to bond with them and check for any nicks or scratches.

We are also working on some landscaping projects around the club. We are adding more flowers and keeping the paddocks looking green and lush. We want our ranch to be the most beautiful place in Vietnam, and our interns play a big role in keeping everything looking sharp. It’s rewarding work because you can see the results of your effort every single day!

We are really excited to get this internship program started. It is going to be an incredible season and we are looking for people who are ready to start right away. If you have been looking for a sign to quit your boring routine and do something adventurous, this is it! We are working on some really cool events for the upcoming months, and we want you to be part of the team that makes it happen.

We are planning to interview people over the next couple of weeks, so don't wait too long to reach out. This is a super unique opportunity to live and work in a beautiful place with some of the coolest animals on the planet. We can't wait to meet you and welcome you to the Vietnam Equestrian Club family!

What’s next?

We are constantly growing and adding new things to the club. We are working on new trail routes, and we are even adding more horses to our herd soon! There is never a dull moment here, and we are really excited for the future. Being an intern now means you get to see all these changes happening firsthand and be a part of our success story.

We are planning to make VEC the ultimate spot for tourism and recreation in the region. If you want to be a part of that journey, send us a message or come by and see us. We are really looking forward to hearing from all you horse lovers out there. Let’s make this the best year ever!

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, just contact us for more information. We would love to chat and see if it feels like a good fit for both of us!
