November 5, 2015 by Christine Meunier 2 Comments

I got this email through university and have checked with Brooke and she is happy for me to share it here:

Interested in getting into journalism? I am looking for a few volunteers to possibly help me with some contributions to my magazines (I am looking at possibly expanding and so not doing it all myself). I am happy to help them out with tips and advice, I have over ten years experience in equine journalism. If you think anybody may be interested please feel free to pass on my contact details,
kind regards,
Brooke

Free Trial for Horse Lifestyle

So I received this email and thought it worth sharing:

Amsterdam, NL, October 23, 2015 – HorseLifestyle.TV, an online streaming service for horse enthusiasts, will go live worldwide this November. Members will be able to watch a broad selection of films, series, books and, magazines, centered around the horse. To celebrate the global launch, Horse Lifestyle® gives away the first 10.000 memberships.

Enjoy Your Lifestyle, Anytime, Anywhere
HorseLifestyle.TV brings stories for people with a heart for horses to get inspired, and learn from in an entertaining way. People from all over the world, can watch and read horse related content, when and as much as they want. HorseLifestyle.TV will be available for $12.95 a month, on computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones connected to the internet.

Join the Herd
People can sign up for a one-month free trial via HorseLifestyle.TV/free-trial as of this Saturday. The free month will start when HorseLifestyle.TV goes live in November.

A great idea for another horse related medium that brings in an income, and one that allows many to watch and learn! Why not check it out or tell someone who may be interested in benefiting from the free trial?

“I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life’s mystery and predictability, of life’s generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation.” – Jane Smiley

Teach in a Box – Horse Educational Resources

October 16, 2015 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

I was contacted recently by Ray Alam, of Teach in a Box, an Australian based online marketplace where teachers can buy and sell educational resources. You may have seen my previous posts about Teachers Pay Teachers in which I have a store of educational horse resources or Udemy in which I have an online course for Breeding the Mare.

If you are able to develop horse resources, any of these three platforms may be of interest to you with regards to making them available to people online and bringing in another form of income. Like with anything, there are some people who make a full time wage (and then some!!) and others who make pocket change. Either way, who would turn away a little extra money?

The great thing about each of these online sources is that they’re free to join and you can benefit financially as well as by building a name for yourself as an expert educator in a particular horse related field. Why not check them out?

TeachinaBox is due for launch October 21. You’re welcome to head on over and check out the products that I have listed there and perhaps consider signing up yourself – be sure to list me as your referrer (christinemeunier)!

Studying Veterinary Bioscience

October 4, 2015 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

I was assessing a student late last week and discussing their plans for after VCE and the completion of an agricultural course. This particular student indicated that they were hoping to get into Veterinary Bioscience.

I am aware of Veterinary Science as a study choice, but not Bioscience. This student indicated that they were keen to get into the area of quarantine and such a degree would help them do that.

In fact, looking at the course at La Trobe University in Australia, it indicates that graduates can find work in:

the Department of Environment and Primary Industries
the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service
and animal welfare organisations like the RSPCA

Although each of these areas aren’t solely horse focused, they do play a great role in helping to educate horse owners, keep horse properties safe with regards to susceptible and notifiable diseases; manage horses coming into and going out of the country and set standards for the welfare of horses under human care.

Double Fencing is one way Horse Owners have been Educated to Increase Biosecurity

If you have an interest in any of these areas, perhaps such a degree is worth looking into.

“The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom.” – Sharon Ralls Lemon

Animal Welfare Scholarships, RSPCA

September 14, 2015 by Christine Meunier Leave a Comment

I have just been made aware of two scholarships that are on offer through the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Australia. Applications must be in by September 30.

Applicants must be students enrolled in a university or college in Australia, part or full time. They must also be seeking funding for a project focused on animal welfare research. Full details can be found at their website.

It looks like these two scholarships are annual, so if it’s something of interest to you but too short notice for this year, make a note of the site for next year! There is always more research that can be done in the area of horse welfare.
