Who has experience as an equine vet tech??

I’m kinda thinking about applying to be one….?

Well first you need a vet tech degree. Otherwise you'd be applying as a veterinary assistant. Assuming you have the degree required, you'd have one of the most fun and active jobs! I love it.

Fox friesians seem to be better built than most black friesians, I wonder if its because they’re more genetically diverse.

I would think they would be less genetically diverse? Since chestnut is recessive?

What a beaut - this is what friesians ought to look like, small, chunky, capable draught horses.

Watch a dressage horse when it is in the practice ring. The best time is at daybreak, with the mists still rising from the pastures. Warm your hands around a good strong cup of coffee and sit in a chair at the edge of the practice ring. If you are lucky, you will have a big old brown dog curled over your feet. Now close to the action, you realize that in moments of suspension the 1300 pound animal does not make a sound as hooves contact the ground after a leap into a canter. The pirouette barely moves the soil.

Good attitude is most important. Good talent is second.

George H. Morris

I cannot stress how important this is - especially in competition. Learn to graciously win, and to graciously lose. When we stop being humble in this sport, we stop progressing forward.
