So for those of you who don’t know, I have temporarily relocated myself and the important pieces of my life (namely my computer, my husband, and my cats and horse inthatorder!) to Myakka City, Florida in order to intern for six months in the breeding program of one of the top horse breeders in the country, Sue Schembri.
I (and pieces) arrived in Florida on January 2, 2013 and proceeded to move into the lovely, snug little apartment and subsequently got my butt handed to me. Things move very quickly here, and I wasn’t really ready for it. Now no one was mean about it, it’s just the speed of how things work. I am just really grateful I got here before breeding season really starts ramping up in February, because I was able to get my feet under me first.
It took me over two weeks to learn to recognize all the horses and over a month to get to the point where I know most of the routine things enough to do them under stress. Next will be learning some of the more obscure things! Yay!
