| Biography |
|---|
| I am a dedicated Grade 8 student attending Albert College in Belleville, Ontario. I am interested in all animals, photography and the environment. I live with my mom and dad & older brother, Jacob, and my horse, Felicia who is a registered purebred Canadian mare. Felicia is my inspiration for my project. Last year she was diagnosed with a tooth infection and had to undergo surgery. I had to administer antibiotics to her daily for a month to prevent any further infection. It was tough. I am a 4-H member of various clubs in the local area. I train and compete during the summer on horseback and also beef calf showing. I also love to go canoeing and camping in the wilderness with my family. |
