Having lived all my life in towns and cities, I barely know one end of a horse from the other. You're probably thinking that's bad if I'm working with a horse charity, but the job is about doing digital communications, not doing horse things. I'm surrounded by clever people who know far more about horses than I.
To demonstrate how clueless I am when it comes to horsey things, let's examine my last three equine interactions.
- In my last job (March 2015 - August 2015), people in the parent company decided that a website selling equine care products was a mega idea. Here's the evaluation of marketing the website that I included in a report (prompting an immediate phone call from the director asking for its removal) and my appraisal report:
- On visiting Verona in August 2014, I learned that there had been many wars there. Wars caused two problems: hungry people and dead horses. One of those problems solved the other problem by turning it into a local specialty dish. I could see how you wouldn't notice if it was mixed in with beef.
- Here I am on a pony at the Piccadilly Village Fete in July 2014.

| Interestingly, it was displaying such foresight that led to being let go. |
As we can see, I wasn't completely averse to hanging out with horsies. In fact, on completion of a stint volunteering in Costa Rica, I was the first to point out that with our newly found freedom from the chains of corporate health and safety, as bound by a signed contract for the duration of the expedition, we were now allowed to go horse riding!
I did look into it at the time, but it was expensive.
Anyway, now I work for a horse charity, I decided that I should make a little bit of effort in expanding my knowledge of horsies. The bits I've learned so far have been occasionally mind-blowing, so I thought that it might be some lols to document the most mind-blowing in a blog.
So welcome!
