Internships
Help us make a difference
“Internships are the opportunity to test our wings and achieve what we thought impossible.”

Our team includes a BHSAI Instructor who teaches English Balance Seat riding across all equestrian disciplines.
We’re also home to Zimbabwe’s only PATH Intl. Registered Therapeutic/Adaptive Instructor.
The Centre supports underprivileged children with a range of different abilities, including those recovering from emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.
We also work with children who have special needs, learning difficulties, and behavioural challenges.
