Key dates
We are receiving applications from October 7th to October 31 for our 2027 sessions. We receive a large number of applications for a very small number of spaces, so we encourage prospective applicants to get to know us through our social media between now and application time. Comment, ask questions and follow along with the horses and ranch. We genuinely notice people who do this.
Your introduction video
Keep it to 3 minutes or less, just talk to us and tell us:
- Who you are: share your personality
- A bit about your applicable experience with horses and riding
- What experience you have with young or green horses
- Why you would like to join us at Bluerock Ranch specifically
- What you would like to get from the experience
- What you believe you would contribute
- Why you think life on a horse ranch in Alberta might suit you
It doesn't have to be polished. No need for fancy edits unless you enjoy creating. Don't treat it like a university admissions video! Just talk to us.
