- I have to agree...great idea! This is my first post to the group
- (just figured out how recently), but I've been reading since September or
- so. I am a biology/premed major here at Johns Hopkins (formerly an
- engineering major).
-
- I started loving horses as a three-year-old kid in suburban Maryland
- (Millersville, for you UofMd folks). My parents didn't try to stop me, but
- riding wasn't possible. When I was 11, we moved to southeastern
- Pennsylvania (fox hunting central). For my birthday, I got lessons. They
- never guessed I'd stick with it for 7 years!!!
-
- Unfortunately, I have never owned a horse. We just moved to a more
- rural area in Maryland, right across the way from a horse farm
- (((JOY!!!))). Perhaps I'll get to ride again....had to quit for college.
-
- Oh, I'm almost 20 and am a sophomore here. I thought I wanted to be
- a people doctor, but working in a kennel all last summer (hardest job I'll
- ever love--great dogs and cats and rabbit and ferret) and growing up reading
- and watching TV shows of "All Creatures Great and Small" are making me think
- seriously about being a vet (large-animal, maybe some small too). Any vets
- out there or people who know about becoming one who can help me find out how
- to get info on vet schools and how to get in????? Any help appreciated.
-
- I love to jump like a wild woman, but trails are great and dressage
- is loads of fun. I dream about fox hunting, but for that I need my own
- horse. I spent much of my lessons flying over fields and hurling myself at
- jumps on two look-alike horses--Snuffy and Cid. God, I miss 'em!!!!

- Melissa Cox,
