My Summer

[Starboard]

I decided to make an account not for RP but for general communication and whatnot, so if you guys want to contact me about anything, send me a message here.

Okay, so onto the horses. This summer I went out on a limb, and in return received more than I could have imagined. On June 2nd, 2012, I sent out a letter to World-Famous Equestrian, Olympic Rider, and Racehorse Trainer. On June 19th, 2012, I got home from working on a project at a friend's house {for the next year} and saw that on my family's answering machine was a missed call from Michael Matz. I started crying when my mom told me, and then played his message. He asked me to give him a call and we could talk about a job. Long story short, I called him back and that friday, I was at Fair Hill Training Center at 4:30 AM, lead shank in my hand, walking horses before their workouts. I took some pictures throughout the summer, though they weren't great, due to the fact that they were quick snaps from my phone.

The easiest way to see them all is on my facebook... but I'll put a link to my PonyBox account instead, seeing as I'm not sure you'll all be able to see my pictures if I'm not friends with you.

That is awesome!! I did two weeks work experience at a harness racing stable and it was really good. However, I never mention where I worked to any other horsey people here, as a couple of months after I finished there it was discovered that the man I was working for *cough* Mark Purdon *cough* was giving his horses Blue Magic (a performance enhancing drug) in their feed.

Oh no! That's not a fun thing to tell people! Haha. It truely was an awesome summer, and I even got to go to Saratoga with them for a weekend and walk up there {though I'm not supposed to tell a whole lot of people since technically they could have gotten in trouble for having someone not licensed walking their horses.}

That sounds so cool! Lucky you! And oh dear, Cara... That's not very good.
