The essay they chose

As I stated, I had to write a 200 word essay to apply to be chosen for this program. This essay had to be about why I would want to be in this program. I love to write, especially about my favorite thing ever, horses! However, this was tough for me because 200 words is not a lot. So I felt as though I was not able to put as much as I would have liked to into it. But, I guess they liked it well enough! I have had a few people ask me about the essay that I wrote so I decided that I would just share with you what it said. Here it is:

There are many reasons as to why the American Quarter Horse is one of the most sought after breeds. People fall in love with their outstanding looks, sweet dispositions, and ability to perform in just about every discipline at any level. People pride themselves in owning one of America’s finest animals. Myself, being one of them.

         When the opportunity came about, to work with such an amazing animal from just a weanling, the thoughts of all the knowledge I would gain from this experience, the thought of how much fun I would have, along with the idea of watching something so precious, an animal whom I would hope to gain an impenetrable bond with, grow up before my eyes, went spiraling through my mind.

         I would absolutely love the opportunity to work with a weanling of my own. I would love to assert my knowledge towards a rewarding project such as this. I feel as though these experiences would help me greatly in life seeing as how I plan on making horses a part of my life forever, very possibly as a career. This is an opportunity I can benefit from greatly. I hope that I am given the opportunity to do so.
