2010 Interns Announced
We were contacted by many applicants, and we are able to extend our on-farm opportunity to not one, but two ambitious young ladies.
Elizabeth "Liz" M.
From the Manchester area in England, Liz is 22 years old & is completing her bachelor's degree in Fine Art at The Slade School of Art, part of University College London. She focuses on making character-based videos for her artwork, among other mediums.
She has a lifetime of horse experience, with a background in show-jumping and 'working hunter' classes. She also loves cross-country rides and just taking in the beauty of the countryside.
Liz has diverse interests such as murder mystery acting, giving art classes to older people, artistic cake commissions and hosting community events with friends. She is a member of the Veteran Cycle club (picture bicycling through France on vintage bicycles (mostly 1900's-1930's era), in vintage outfits too!
She has a true love for life, and adores ALL animals: especially horses, dogs and cats.
Liz is also an avid cross country runner, having participated in runs across in London, even taking on the Christmas-time "Santa Dash", which involved hundreds of people dressed as santas running 'en masse' through London parks.
Louisa S.
From south-central Germany, Louisa first came to us through a student exchange program. Although she has since returned home, her love for the Fell Ponies brings her back to us for a limited time this summer. Louisa's experience both on the farm and her first-hand knowledge of our ponies will be a definite asset as we take on some new venues this season. Louisa is 19 years old and is completing German high-school. She has been an avid volleyball player for years, and has a great love of music. Her talent as a rider and a superb work ethic make Louisa a natural fit for Dream Hayven.
