[RC] OT, daughter looking for horse work in FL - april
Time to beg.
Any body in the orlando area interested in help
from the second week in July until sometime in Nov?
Some of you know, my daughter is
getting married this summer and moving to Florida.
She is a great kid, has
worked for the barn up the road since she was 14. She is a handy gal with
barn chores and progressed from lessons assistant to teaching the lessons on her
own. She has a nice collection of 4-H awards for various horse activities.
She is just started in dressage and jumping. She is testing for her Dennis Reis
level something or other in March. The barn she works for is paying, knowing she
is leaving. If we can work it into the schedule, she might get her cha
instructors cert. this spring too. She gets the "squirrelly" horses to ride
and settle down. She can stay on almost anything and is one of
those disgusting people who gets near a nervous horse and it just
calms down. Its got to be pheromones. It's really bad to be jealous of your
own daughter isn't it.
BUT, the only thing she loves as
much as horses, photography. She has 3, state, first place horse photographs in
MS as well as qualifying as the county delegate for photography in ILL before we
moved here.
The wedding is July 3,
then she will be moving to Orlando to be with her new hubby who is finishing
college in Nov. Then they are moving, prob to Seattle, for her to go to college
for a degree in photography. Yep, the new hubby is going to get a job where ever
she decides to go to college. He isn't very "horsey," but is willing to support
her. He even applied for a job cleaning stalls so he could learn more about
horses. So he is a keeper.
On to the begging. She is
looking for a horse photographer near orlando to "apprentice" while she is
there, Experience being more important than the pay check.She is also looking
for short term work with horses, cleaning stalls, teaching
lessons, starting colts, she has done most of it already and is a
quick study if she hasn't. (Her current boss is willing to put an apartment in
the barn if she will come back to memphis to go to college but she has her heart
set on an art college in Seattle.) She has never been very interested in showing
so that is the area she lacks experience in much beyond
4-H.
Any body in the orlando area interested in help
from the second week in July until sometime in Nov? She might be interested in a
barn job that her arabian could come too and she could work off the
board.
