It's been so long since my last post, but as usual, I have a great excuse.
Since I last posted:
Horses
I've had some lovely lessons with Nan Catmur out at Longford, although this has been difficult due to the amount of rainfall lately. I had been waiting to post about my riding experiences until I had a decent photo of me riding, but it seems that every photo of me atop a horse is accompanied by an idiotic grin because I'm having so much fun! So here it is anyway.
I've also been lucky enough to do some work with with Merry and her lovely herd, including going on a breathtaking trail ride with her mares Eclipse and Kissaya.
Also been looking after my friend Lara's lovely horse Onyx when they have been away, and exercising him as often as I can get out there to help build his muscle tone back up. He is a handsome and patient boy, but very cheeky!
Work & School
I started out doing just one day a week work experience for my Animal Studies Certificate II course at Mowbray Veterinary Clinic, where my family's animals have been patients for the last twenty-odd years. Luckily for me, they were hoping to put on a new staff member, and I was asked to start! My first day of paid work as a Vet Nurse was on the 10th of June, and I have enjoyed (almost) every moment of it. When working with animals and people, you have to deal with some hard times, and support clients as best you can with some pretty difficult decisions. The work is exciting, sad, happy, eye-opening and fulfilling all at once, and I finally feel like I have come home - this is what I am meant to do.
So much so that next year I plan on beginning Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, with the view to going on to a Diploma of Veterinary Nursing once the Cert IV is completed. Several of the units in my course this year will count towards my Level 4 Certification, as will many of the units I plan on taking at Polytechnic next year in either Animal Studies or Animal Management (once they decide which they are running!!). I am ridiculously excited, and finally truly optimistic about the future.
I also have another job prospect, as a Demonstrator for a national pet food company, but more on that at a later date!
Gone to the dogs...
I have also recently started instructing with my Dog Obedience club, and am looking forward to taking my own obedience class next weekend! As you all know, I am quite passionate about animals, behaviour and training are two of my favourite areas.
Snow Everywhere!
We've had some big, early dumps of snow in Tasmania this year, and we wasted no time in getting out amongst it! On the 9th of June, we bundled the dogs into the car, and took to the roads in search of snow. We didn't have to go far, and couldn't have gone further if we had tried, but managed to get to the picnic area on Mount Barrow and play in about a foot of snow and slush! Also took a drive along the Sideling to see the snow there - absolutely mind blowing!! We followed that up with another snow trip - to the Central Highlands this time, on Sunday the 12th June. We took along extra's - Buffy and Naomi - for Buff's first snow trip!
Unfortunately, I forgot to take any photos the first trip, and the video camera was flat for the second one! Although with that promising start, I'm sure there will be plenty more snow trips this year!
All the best for now, and thanks for reading!

Who knew that going back to school would change my days so much!
I may only be going two days a week, but I think it has really been the boost I've needed to become much more motivated and enthusiastic about everyday life.
Simple daily housework tasks that I struggled with even a few months ago are now much easier to stomach, I'm getting caught up with things I've been needing to do for months and years (but never had the time or inclination to do!), and I've had so much more time and a little more energy to focus on my real passion - animals!
Being on such a ride brings its lows too, and I have had some interesting extremes of self-confidence and energy, offset with anxiety and depression, which has really floored me.
I'm hoping that this is just my body and minds' way of adjusting to a new direction in life, and maybe a bit of seasonal depression rearing its' ugly head. Either way, I'm pressing on, because I'm enjoying myself!
Family
There have also been some changes in my family life. Around my Birthday, my Nan's health was sufficiently deteriorated to the point where she required hospitalisation for pain management, which later led to her moving into an aged care facility. It was not an unhappy move, and she is really loving the new experience, but it was a stressful time as far as paperwork and moving things went. It was also difficult for my Mum, who resides South of Hobart and spent many days here in Launceston organising my Nan's move and finalising things at her unit.
Another change has been my Sister in Law, Niece and Newphews moving away. It has been a verystressful and sad time, and I hope it has a happy ending, but I will leave it at that for now.
Going to the... Horses?
I am now well into my Animal Studies course, and really enjoying it. The material is more in-depth than I had expected, which really pleases me. At the moment we're working on Nutrition, and I will soon be starting my first work placement!
We've had some fantastic guest speakers from a pretty wide range of animal industries, and I can only hope we get to learn from many more interesting professionals over the coming months. Good outings too!
I have also spread my tentacles(?) into another area of animals that has always interested me, but that I've not had much of an oppourtunity to do anything in: Horses!
I've been on a few semi-instructed trail rides in the past, and always enjoyed them. I went on another a couple of weeks ago with Lara and Emily (thanks Janet!)
So, I have taken the plunge, and had my first formal one-on-one riding lesson today! Janet and Lara have also been kind enough to allow me to help out with their stunning Thoroughbred Onyx at event days, and I look forward to getting some more strapping experience in the future.

As some of you already know, I took the plunge this year and finally went back to school to follow my true passion: the world of animals.
I am currently enrolled at Tasmanian Polytechnic, doing Animal Studies Certificate II. During the course I'll have the opportunity to do work placements at different locations, and hopefully gain a new wealth of knowledge and experiences.
Yesterday, we had our very first excursion! Tasmania Zoo were kind enough to host us for the day.
Edit: Yesterday, Tasmania Zoo officially opened one of their new Devil enclosures.
Although I've been to Tas Zoo before, I haven't been recently, and it was lovely to see all the new exhibits, meet the new animals, and see some old favorites.
More on the course in upcoming posts... For now, here are some of my favorite shots from the day.
