Facilitates meaningful interactions between students and horses in supportive, educational environment.

I am 23 years old and I have been around farm animals since I was a little girl. In my free time off of work I love to ride, study more about horses and farm animals, and spend time caring for my pets. I've owned many different species of animals throughout my life but a few of my favorites were my dogs, horses, sheep, and rabbit. Today I am the owner of 1 sheep and 1 horse but I'd like to expand my herd over the next few months. My short term goals is to compete in various western sports with my own horse. My long term goals in life is to become a farrier and horse manager. I also would like to start my own horse rescue one day.
