Why are we doing this?
Because working with horses and being around horses can give a person purpose, a sense of responsibility and hope.
Because the horse industries have long had a shortage of qualified barn and show help and the situation is getting worse, not better. HorseSensing aims to help fill that gap with good help.
Because there are lots of people who can do these jobs but don't have exposure to these industries for one reason or another.
What skills will they develop?
All skills related to the horse industries including basic and vital veterinary to farm and stable maintenance.
Soft skills such as:
Being dependable-showing up to work on time or early and work-ready
Having a good attitude
Being willing to do whatever is needed
Dressing appropriately
Speaking up whenever necessary-anything from seeing mold in the grain to a horse with a slight swell in a pastern to asking for what they need to do their job the best it can be done.
Being able to work as a team.
Working through conflict-resolving situations in positive ways.
We are looking forward to a great conversation on July 30th, 2019 on how to make HorseSensing the best it can be for the horse community, our participants and team.
