As some of you may know we are lucky enough to have a college intern from Cazenovia living on the farm this summer. Cazenovia offers a degree in Equine Business Management and as part of that degree program, students are required to complete an internship. Thanks to the Shanley family who connected us to the intern coordinator, we were approved as hosts for this internship.
Emily is a Massachusetts licensed instructor and has spent many years teaching and riding as well as working at summer riding programs. We are excited to have her help and energy here at Cobble Hill for the next several months.
The objectives of Emily's time here are to help us better market and promote our programs, particularly through improvements and updates to the website. Besides just bringing the content up to date, I expect you will see Emily blogging here, and I've really been wanting to get more video on this site so watch for that!
Her second objective is to better understand the care and management of our horses so she will be working with Krissy and Chuck and hopefully meeting Dr. Dowd soon. Lots to do every day to keep our school horses healthy, but we also hope she will be another hand to school some of our beginner horses who tend to pick up bad habits during the summer with multiple new riders.
Lastly, she hopes ot learn more about the management of our lessons and summer program. One project I am hoping she will tackle early on is to take her love of trail riding and to help us develop a 'prepare for trails' lesson sequence for newer riders. Watch for promotions and announcements on that! She will also be instrumental in helping Karrie get Pony Club riders ready for upcoming test sessions.
Please say hello and introduce yourself to Emily when you are next here at the barn!
