Summary: Rocky Ranch Animal Internship

I watched as the flashes of orange lights from cars raced past me through the city, and knew there were no signs of any possibilities that there would be a place to keep a horse. I lived in northern Virginia near Washington D.C., where the city was filled with gigantic, tall office buildings with gray and gloomy windows. I could smell the gasoline and smoke coming from the cars’ exhaust. I felt the cool breeze as cars whipped past me, and the air tasted like millions of littered cigarettes on the side of the road. However, there were some horse stables, but they were far away, and the payment required for horseback riding lessons was a ridiculously large price. Of course, that never stopped me from continuously asking

Contact your veterinarian to develop a comprehensive care program and discuss safety measures to help prevent exposure to other horses.

The student completed the internship requirement at the Brevard Zoo. Additionally, the student holds a volunteer position at the National Elephant Center prior to the internship. The internship director approved the student to use the additional volunteer hours at the elephant center for course credit. At Brevard Zoo, the intern was already a paid employee at the facility prior to the internship course. The internship was modified to give the student an experience that highlighted the many aspects of working with animals outside of her original position. The activities included activities working with both animals, guests, and staff. The focus on animal training, behavior, and learning was achieved by the intern

There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself

The interactions I had with the beautiful animals fostered a fascination that would stay with me for years. Despite this passion, I was never able to ride or own a horse because of the expenses and attention they require. But at the age of twelve my dad signed me up to volunteer at HETRA, giving me the incredible opportunity to work closely with the animals I loved so much. Although I was concerned about jumping into something that I had never done before, I soon found my confidence. The volunteers and instructors made me feel welcome and helped me learn the all of the procedures.

I am the daughter of a livestock dealer. My father was an amazing wrangler and rancher. Throughout my life, we have bought and sold many horses--too many to count, and I have also sent my own fair share to the slaughter plants. As a young teen I had a horse we called Whino, he was a great horse for me when I was learning to ride and wanting to follow Dad around. There comes a time in a horse’s life when they are not capable of doing what they once were or that they become sore or crippled to lead a life with meaning or comfort. I was raised to understand life and death and that one will follow the other. I knew when we had

UW Fond Du Lac, I feel, is the best school for me. I want to go into animal services which enables me to help the one thing that I have loved all my life. Being in this profession I will be able to continue doing what I love and that's protecting those animals who don't have a voice or get the chance to live a life full of love and happiness.

I am extremely excited to be applying for the opportunity to serve as an intern for the North Carolina FFA Association. I am confident that I will be a perfect fit for this position as my experiences, abilities, and passion go hand-in-hand with the responsibilities for this job.

Do you have the medical records and shots information for each of these horses? If so, I will need a copy of each record for each horse. No, but I do have a medical doctor on call to provide medical assistance to my horses, whenever need. I told Mr. Rudd that he needs to try to obtain the medical shot records from the doctor prior to meeting me to sign the rental agreement. It is

Welcome to my senior project portfolio. I was to learn about natural horsemanship skills and horse care by Mary Tyler, a volunteer coordinator at Sunrise Horse Rescue, who has dedicated about 11 years of her life to working with horses. It was easy asking Mary to be my mentor because I had volunteered at this rescue twice throughout high school. She would be mentoring me through the “Horsemanship and horse care world” accompanied by the horses that were sanctioned at Sunrise. Mary, having had plenty of horse work experience, took me under her wing and promised to show me as much basic knowledge that I needed to make this project successful.

On 10/29/17 at approximately 10:50am, I Deputy Warden N. Christian with Franklin County Animal Care and Control (FCACC) was requested to meet a dog owner in the lobby of FCACC. I met with dog owner Tiffany Little on an injury-possible dangerous or vicious dog/owner surrender. Ms. Little stated that her dog name Kali attacked her son (Valik Wells) last night (10/28/17) at approximately 10:00pm. Ms. Little stated her son was walking up the stairs when Kali attacked him. Ms. Little intervened and was also bitten by Kali. Ms. Little son sustained injuries to his right arm and Ms. Little injuries were to her right hand. Ms. Little stated her son refused to seek medical treatment for his injuries. Ms. Little wrote out a statement of facts in

There is something going on at the zoo that large stakeholder corporations, like PNM (Power New Mexico), do not want us, the zoo goers, to know about: propaganda that endorses conservationism. Conservation’s main “focus is nevertheless on human benefit, not other speicies or entities”; which seems peculiar that a company that actively harms the environment for the benefit of humans would have an interest in the zoo. Why? PNM provides electricity to customers in urbanized and semi-urbanized areas in New Mexico. The power company gets energy from coal-fired plants that generates “air pollution from sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and heavy metals, leading to smog, acid rain, and toxins in the environment” that have detrimental

Hello,It is late when I found your post on the stable help, so I thought I would send you this email. I have been around horses my whole life but around the age of 13 I think, I started working on a horse boarding farm. I worked there for around 3 or 4 years and had my horse from there for about 6 or 7 years.I also had a horse of my own,he died about a month ago. I live in church hill,I don't know what part of Bristol you are in but if its close enough or the pay is good enough for the gas I would LOVE to work here. I am completely drug free and never used any in my life,I would call myself a good person and a horse enthusiast.I have been looking for a job for awhile but couldnt find one to fit me but this sounds like the ticket.I am also very

Even covered in dirt and grime you could tell the racoon that someone set up hoping to catch the mask wearing bandit near a junkyard in Texas, but instead of a raccoon in the trap they only caught a precious little cat.

This upcoming summer I want to intern at the Minnesota Zoo and one of the requirements to getting this internship is I must be earning college credit. This internship will give me over 200 hours of unpaid work. When I apply for the internship, I will apply for 4 departments of the zoo. My top two choices have research/educational projects as one of the duties and the other two do not.
