Carly Weilminster: 2012-2013 Knowing Te Equi-
ery was the go-to publication for all information about what was going on in the Maryland equine industry, Carly Wei- lminster applied to Te Equiery intern- ship program to help develop her writing and communication
skills as well as pursue her interest in equine- interest communications, while majoring in communications. Carly worked on editorial pieces including covering the UMD breeding program that was starting up again at the time. “Te UMD breeding program allowed me to follow the foals and write about how they were doing with their racing careers,” she said. One thing Carly appreciated from this in-
ternship was learning how to do a good inter- view. She commented, “you have to be able to represent the person and their story by mak- ing them feel comfortable enough to open up. By learning this, I was able to connect easily with whomever I was interviewing. It helped me become more personable with them and allowed me to truly capture the person’s pas- sion and personality.” Carly is currently living in Lexington, KY, and working as the Director of Communications and Public Relations for
US Equestrian. She oversees the organization’s social media platforms.
Kira Young Connor: 2013 Having met
Crystal Brumme Pickett at a Mary- land Horse Indus- try Board meeting, Kira Young Connor was invited to send her resume to Te Equiery. She found herself contribut-
ing in a variety of ways during her internship. “I designed and managed various email campaigns, I attended shows to provide coverage and pho- tographs for the publication, and I had the unique opportunity to be a liaison to the Cavalia equestrian production while they were on tour in DC,” she stated. With Cavalia, Kira assisted with various grassroots marketing efforts and represented Te Equiery at media events. A few things she learned during her time at Te Equi- ery were effective marketing and the importance of fostering solid community relations through interpersonal connection. Kira is currently living in Nashville, Tennessee.

more year of college, Alexa Easton was looking to get ex- perience in the communica- tions industry with relation to equestrian sports. Te Equiery gave her that opportunity. “It allowed me to be creative in my young professional life,”
