Interning with The Equiery: Then & Now, continued...
Events calendar. “I looked into what shows, clinics, and special or new events were sched- uled for the month and organized them into the monthly calendar,” she explained. “Tis in- ternship helped me find the different organi- zations and associations that are in the equine industry.” Veronica started her own business, Golden Fleece Marketing, this past January. Te company focuses on helping equine related clients run their business through marketing, web design, blogging and social media adver- tising. Veronica is happy to say she is able to work from home and still have time to ride and train her two horses.
Sara Gordon: Summers 2016-2018 With a pas-
sion for horses,
journalism and pho t o g raphy, interning at Te Equiery made perfect sense to Sara Gordon. She found that
Te Equiery would help her extend and explore her passion while she was majoring in multi- media journalism with a minor in equine sci- ence at Virginia Tech. Sara completed many
tasks while interning, including writing ar- ticles, taking photos, proofreading and attend- ing events. She is currently working for the Maryland Horse Breeders Association as their Communications Manager. Sara also writes for MHBA’s publication Mid-Atlantic Torough- bred, as well as taking photos, proofreading and managing the website. “I absolutely love my job!” she said, adding, “My best advice? Pursue your passions. It’ll be worth it.”
Stacey Wells: Fall 2018 While working on
a degree in writing and having a back- ground with horses, Stacey Wells found Te Equiery
intern-
ship program to be a good opportunity for finding out how a publication operates and how to imple- ment and improve her
own writing skills. “I wrote articles about news- worthy events in the Maryland equine industry, from Marylanders competing in the Mongol Derby to a feature story about the Baltimore City Mounted Police,” she said. Stacey gradu-
ated from Magna Cum Laude in 2019 with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Writ- ing. She is about to start a new job at a law firm.
Leah Fondelheit: Fall 2020
Leah Fondel- heit is a senior at the University of Maryland,
Col-
lege Park majoring in Equine Welfare and Management. Her mentor, Dr. Amy Burk,
told
her about intern- ship opportunities
with Te Equiery. Leah found that her interest in Te Equiery is more along its involvement in the Maryland equine industry and the business aspect of a publication. “I have never worked in an office setting before and enjoy seeing what it’s like to run a publication,” she said. “Many of the tasks I have completed so far involve orga- nizing and proof reading of classifieds, articles, and the Out & About column.” Leah said she has enjoyed interning with Te Equiery even with the struggle of the COVID-19 pandemic not allowing her to physically meet with staff in the office.
