Leading Internships for New Knowledge
Leading Internships for New Knowledge (LINK) is a program at Animas High School (AHS) where the juniors complete a 3 week internship at a business that they are interested in. This is to introduce the students to the adult and working world. Students start out by determining what they are interested in and what job may be in line with those interests. They then look for business that have those jobs and complete an informational interview with someone who works in that field at the business. They then find a mentor at the place they want to work at and get all the approvals needed to work there. By the end of the internship, the interns should have made a project, or an outline of one, that shows what they learned at the internship and they should walk away with more knowledge about the real world and if they are really interested in that type of work they looked into.
Weaselskin Institute- Equine Education, Conservation, Business and Management
Weaselskin teaches humane and effective training for horses and the riders. Their goal is to return the "symbiotic relationship" between horse and trainer back into the world rather than use the dominance relationship people have often used in modern times. Modern training has degraded horses into unthinking assets to people. But horses are intelligent and wise animals that can teach people as much as people can teach them. This is what they want to teach people to benefit both the trainers and the horses.

LINK Project
My project was a paper on lunging with a video to go along with it. The paper covered three main topics: What is lunging, Why is lunging important for training, and How to lunge. The video was to give an example of how to lunge a horse properly and how not to lunge properly. I created this as my project because I was helping train a horse named Linda to be a school horse and this is where she and I finished our training at the end of LINK. Lunging was a very hard task for us to do, so it was a hard goal for us to reach. This paper is meant to help Jennefier Thurston's future students understand lunging better and help her teach it to them better.
