[Ag-eq] Introduction from new member

[Randy George]

Hi, Michelle.
Thank you so much for your email. I am actually already a certified massage therapist. I have been practicing massage professionally for more than 10 years. The massage therapy I was referring to was the question massage therapy. I would love to work on horses. I am actually fascinated though by what you said in regards to the funeral director who spoke at the last convention who is blind. I have always been extremely interested in mortuary science, and my mom is actually a funeral director, and I thought it would be a great career to get into, but honestly just never explored it because of the vision thing. I am making myself sound as a self debtor, which could not be farther from the truth. I have worked since the age of 17, lived alone since the same time, and have advocated for the blind and visually impaired for more than 20 years. I have always just worked more traditional jobs I guess, but am now getting to the stage in my life, my mid 30s, where I want to think about what I want to do forever. Something that truly interests me.  If you have any other information, I would truly be interested to read it. :-)  

I forgot to mention in my introductory email that I live and work in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. I would love more information that anyone would have on equestrian groups, riding activities, and any other opportunities to work or play with horses.  

Thanks so much as always,
Randy
