Interviewing Samantha Simmons

• Three o'clock on Sunday
• Careers 6th hour

I choose this career because I love horse and so do horse trainers. And I have some experience with some people training horse. Some horse are harder to train than others because of their attitude just like people and learning.

Horses trainer is wear you train a horse to obey its master. First you have to get it to accept weight on it back then you do hack mores or bridles after that. You also have to get it to obey the pull on the bit or to turn away from weight on there neck.

After that you get it used to trailers and hauling them to shows. You bring them to shows and get them used to gates in case you show your horse.

Samantha Simmons was my horse riding trainer a couple years ago. She is kind and patient and had trained a couple of the horses there. She went to North Eastern college for 2 years and got the Equine management degree. She also got special training at what the called a clinic ware the got to train green horses and broke them.

She went to a good college and is a successful horse trainer. If you don't know what a green horse is or a broke horse then here.
-A green horse is an untrained horse
-A broke horse is a well trained horse.

Horse trainer can be difficult to do because some horse will fight for days while others like she said will give in and learn stuff in minutes. Some times it depends on the horses past and the horses attitude for how long stuff takes. Like my horse Bull and her horse Magnum. Magnum easily trust people and Bull is head shy and takes over a year before he will trust you if your lucky.

Like I said before when I compared the horses some are head shy, had a bad past, scare easily, and some are just have bad ground manners. Some of the horses are easy others are hard but one thing is don't get to stressed or the horse will get stressed. If you scared or sad or even over happy that all affects the horses behavior.

She said she likes working with the horse but dislikes when the don't listen and ignore her.

She gets challenged with horses with trust issues and ones that frighten real easily.

The interview went well it was challenging because I haven't talked to her for a couple years. But it was simple after a small conversation at the beginning .

I might have tried to make better questions. I am still interested in this career for a back up career. In case I can't become a vet.
