Terry and I had a great opportunity yesterday to share some of our experiences with a group of up and coming new equine professionals. Dr. Clay Cavinder, professor at Texas A & M University is teaching a class on equine marketing, with an emphasis on international trade. He invited us for the second semester in a row to talk with his students. So we made the lovely drive to College Station, Texas and enjoyed spending some time with these bright young equine professionals. It gave us such a good feeling to see the enthusiasm in their faces and answer their questions about our work.
Some of the students in this class also took a field trip to Houston last week where they could observe an actual shipment in progress. They saw us preparing the shipping containers and loading the horses. They also had the opportunity to speak with Guillermo of the Texas Department of Agriculture who told them some of the history of the TDA Airport facility. Dr. Soroko of the USDA was also available for some questions.
Thank you, Clay, for inviting us to speak with your students. And students, thank you for your attention and interest. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
