Becoming a Reality...

It's obvious that I haven't posted in a long time. And as much as I hate to say it, I probably won't post much in the future anyway. For this past year, I could say that I've been busy and whatnot but the truth is that I'm starting a new part of my life and horses have been getting a smaller and smaller placeholder in it. I'm not happy about it, horses have always been a part of my life and if I let them go I feel as if I had lost some part of myself. But at the same time, I need to realize that this new part of my life won't include horses for a little while. Which in turn means the probability of selling Ava has become very apparent right now. I wouldn't have the time or money to keep up with her due to her excessive and spirited nature but I'm hoping with all my heart that I can find someone or some situation that can make her useful and happy.

In the fall, I'm leaving for university to attain my bachelor's in marketing. I am really excited to start this new part of my life and can't wait to see where it takes me. I chose marketing out of everything because it gives me a lot of options for work and hopefully, after graduation, I would be able to work in the horse business. And you never know, in 2-3 years maybe I'll be able to have horses again but right now it wouldn't be the smartest move on my part nor would it be best option for Ava as well.

So, at the moment I am slowly, very slowly, beginning to move in that direction. It's going to be hard and emotional, but I know in my heart that it is the right thing to do for the both of us.

How To: Vaccinate Horses

So for one of my digital media courses I had to create a how to video on whatever I wanted. So, what's better than teaching someone how to vaccinate their own horses? I couldn't think of anything better so I chose that and thought it turned out nicely.

Hello my loves, I am finally back after a long but exciting school semester. I learned so much and am excited to keep on my journey of learning graphic design. Anyways, I filmed a new video and thought I'd share. I'll be more active soon!

Dropped Out

It was about two weeks before school was starting back. I had successfully passed my first semester in the vet tech program and was even elected President. But the more I kept thinking about my future and all the things that I wanted to be doing with my life didn't seem to fit what a vet tech's life would be. I was and still am in love with all the people and the program but in the end I didn't really want to become a veterinary technician. One of the big red flags was that I didn't even want to do the required externship in a clinic after school got out. Now, if I really wanted to be doing that job wouldn't I have wanted to actually be working in the field? I would think so.

So, as hard as it was I dropped out of the program and have started to pursue graphic design and social media marketing/managing. So far I am loving the classes and know this will guide me in the right path towards a successful future. I've always been intrigued by working online or running my own business so maybe this will be my destiny(I mean, if you believe in that. Which I do, haha!).

The vet tech program will always bring me joy when I think back on it. So many wonderful people, great information that I will use for a very long time, and being able to care for animals (which is always a favorite!). Not only that, I brought home one of the animals myself! His name is Indiana Ulysses G, but his nicknames are Indie, Munchie, and Bubby, which is much easier to remember! He is one great little kitty and is such a purr machine. I love him to death and so glad he is part of my family.

When we were at the clinic!

Silent Sunday

I will make a post soon. Sorry about the random yet, not so random hiatus. I miss all of you in the horsey blog world! I hope you've all been well.
