Well I'm glad I got that out of the way! Now for more exciting things.. Welcome to my blog! Through this little site I am hoping to include everyone that is close to me in the journey I am preparing for, KEMI. The Kentucky Equine Management Internship, or KEMI, is based out of Lexington, KY allowing 32 young adults the opportunity of a lifetime; to live on a thoroughbred racing farm for 6 months to gain experience and insight into not only the racing industry, but the equine management world!
For my personal experience I will be placed on WinStar farm and could not be more excited for this new chapter! I was lucky enough to be able to tour WinStar in the spring of this year (2013) but now I get the chance to actually work for them!
This blog surely won't get into "the swing of things" until I do once in Lexington, but I wanted to get everything ready for the journey! I will be leaving my hometown, after this 3 week break since ending my college career, at the end of next week and traveling the 8+ hours to Lexington with everything I own in a small box trailer. I am prepared for long hours, homesickness, lonliness, weeks of sore muscles, but most importantly -- the experience of a lifetime!
With that being said, please stay tuned for all the future posts and updates as I will attempt to post multiple times a week! Happy New Year everyone! I hope your 2014 is as awesome as I think mine is going to be!
With love,
Melissa & Jax
