Items needed for internship:

• Riding boots:  2 pairs- unless you don’t mind getting a good pair muddy, and possibly ruined (a pair of muck/mud boots/overshoes work as well)
• Long -sleeved shirts- either t-shirts or button ups- if you want to ride in t-shirts and tank-tops that is fine, but sunburns are no fun!
