Although my original goals have been temporarily de-railed, a new track has been placed before me. After moving back to school, I visited a farm that I had worked with on previous occasions and things seem to be looking up. I have been given a great opportunity to work with an extremely talented rare breed of horse, the Frederiksborg. As I mentioned, I had worked here before but only as a groom. I now have the chance to work with these great horses on a higher level. My new position includes halter and saddle breaking babies, exercising horses for clients, and putting some additional training on green broke horses. During the breeding season I will have the chance to fully utilize my up-and-coming degree by helping out in the breeding shed with collecting stallions and learning to AI mares. Who knows, some other exciting things may be in the works as well! ;)
So what does this mean for Stretch? Well, the wonder baby will be recieving a much needed and deserved break during which he will be well cared for and will return to work well rested, hopefully in the spring. The idea is that he will be at the top of his game after this and will be ready to show everyone what a talented underdog that he really is! This will also give me the time and opportunity to continue to save money for my much needed big ticket items and will enable me to get the things that I really want.
I know that this experience will be invaluable and I am definately looking forward to beginning this new chapter in my life. There has finally been a break in the clouds and nothing could be better!
