I'm an equine business major in a school reputed for it's equine program. Not only are they renowned for their riding, but their facilities are beautiful and they always make a pretty picture. On the basis of everyone coming from so many different backgrounds (we have a slovakian, two Hawaiians, canadians, one italian and a spanish rider for an example of diversity) and so many different 'ideas', they want us to 'do our best' (which is to say, don't muck it up) and we'll have a grooming assessment.
If it is 'unsatisfactory', we'll be given lectures on 'howto' and whatall.
There is an actual grade, KG. Clipping, the neatness of it, was too much taken off, was it poorly blended, were spots missed, is the mane evenly pulled, too long, too short, is there dander in it, was the dock of the tail scrubbed and between the hind legs, is dandruff gone, is all the dust gone or is it just on the top that it's been taken care of...
Yeah.
We get actual grades on it.
We had demos the first week on 'howto' and whatall, but in that everything is subjective, we were assigned (four to a horse) to make said horse, presentable. All the school horses have lived virtually untouched, since may. That was a fun task... But now that we have our own 'individually assigned horses', we need to do it for our own to show that we can do it without someone else 'holding our hand' /doing it for us.
So that's the story behind all the whatall.
QuicColor & other Quicproducts come reccomended then?
