Daily Post April-17

Today i found Trofim waiting for us there. He had a handball, and our mentor was out riding. so instead of being lazy and just sitting there, we decided to get active and play handball on the other side of the street, it was hot and we tired. Then our mentor came back and we groomed a couple of horses then helped Gallop.

Midpoint Reflection Questions

How has the internship been the same as and/or different than your expectations? It was kind of what i have expected, i wasn't all that far off, i mean what would you expected from a horse stable.


What is similar and different about the culture of the school environment versus the workplace environment? What new skills have you learned that apply to the workplace? There is a big difference between the culture of my workplace, and the culture of the school. In my work place there isn't this nice person(some teacher) asking you if you want help, in my workplace there is no one to help out if you don't ask.


What kind of relationship do you have with your mentor and co-workers? How have you grown as a result of interacting with professional adults? With the big boss it is just formal, but with my mentor we have a friendly realtionship. We joke and kid around, because my mentor is around my age.


What challenges at the internship have you faced that you have overcome and how did you overcome them? First it was putting a saddel on a horse. i put it upside down three times, but after practice i learned how to put all kinds of saddles(western, english)


What challenges have you faced in school as a result of the altered schedule and how are you handling them? Well the big probelm is homework, and having to come home all tired then do homework. I don't handle them, thats why i have a C in history.


What goals are you working to accomplish during the remainder of the internship? My goals are to improve at handling hhorses, but my bigest dream is to ride a horse pefrectly.


What new things have you learned about New York City? THAT THERE ARE HORSES IN BROOKLYN!!!

Daily Post April - 3

Today was BORING. We didn't do nothing much. The most exciting thing was we groomed a horse. Soooo thats it!!!

Daily Post April - 2

TODAY WAS THE BEST DAY EVER!!! We went horseback riding in the park. Lets rewind first. At first we (Trofim, Me) went with Samsam to the park to help out with a student. Kate was too lazy to go into the park AND ACTUALLY WALK, so she decided to sit in the chair for the whole time. After that Chelsea took us horseback riding. Kate had an old horse and IT WAS TOO SLOW!!! My horse was energitic and kates horse was as slow as a trutle. And i had to walk behind her. Junction is afraid of water so he freaked out when he saw water on the road and freaked my horse out with him (but i got my horse under conrol). Then Junction stopped on the way back and wouldn't move, so i just skipped kate because i was tired of her and her horse. Kate couldn't get junction to walk again so Chelsea helped her. I went back alone.

Today was fun. At fist we helped gallop, but then they didn't need our help. So Fran told us to take out Junction (an old fart) out and shed him. It was snowing hair, HAIR WAS EVERYWHERE!!! I mean MILLIONS OF HAIRS WERE FALLING OUT!!! Then Trofim got this crazy idea of writing his name on the horses neck by taking out the hair with his hands. The staff thought it was stupid, but they didn't say anything.
