Hey guys - I'm really excited about being able to share my experiences this semester with you all.  I hope to keep you as up to date on my activities as possible as the semester progresses.  Just a little about me, I'm a senior in animal science at State and have always had an interest in horses.  I decided to participate in the KEMI internship because I thought it would be a great chance to get hands on experience and visit somewhere new. 

If any of you are interested in getting more information about the KEMI internship I've provided the link to their homepage.  You can find out just about anything you want to know about this opportunity on this webpage.  KEMI homepage  The internship is a 22 week long working internship for which you can recieve credit for the ANS external learning experience course.  Internships are offered in both the spring and the fall each year.  Fall deals more with breaking and training of young horses, while the spring internship is a breeding and foaling internship.  Interns are placed on farms located around the Lexington, KY area for the duration of the internship, and housing is provided by the farm or in off the farm apartments.  I have been placed on Trackside Farm this semester.  I'll be sure to load lots of pictures once i arrive in Kentucky.  The internship this spring starts January 8th and will run until the first week in June.  I look forward to keeping you guys posted as the semester progresses!!
