Kathy Hintikka - Our new Vet Science Reporter!

We have a new Reporter for the Vet Science Project, Kathy Hintikka.

For those who have not met Kathy yet, here is a photo of her with Hippo. Looking Good!

Kathy Hintikka is a 15-yr old sophomore at Westwood High School (in the Round Rock ISD). An avid horse lover her entire life, she now leases a horse named Daryl. She rides at the Bee Cave Riding Center and spent the entire summer volunteering there as a camp counselor.

Kathy plans to pursue a career as a vet and establish a mixed animal practice outside a town near the mountains, like Fort Collins, Colorado. This would enable her to see small animals in her clinic and travel to treat horses and other large animals. Kathy also loves drama and played Patty Simcox in a high school production of Grease last year.

Be sure to say hi at our Vet Science Meeting this Tuesday and thank Kathy for all the work she will be doing for us this year. I am confident that Kathy’s leadership will make this year’s Vet Science Project the best yet.

Horses Rock 4-H is hosting its 1^st THE VET SCIENCE PROJECT meeting this year, Tuesday, September 1, 2009 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm at the old schoolhouse in Bee Cave.

HOMEWORK DUE on Tuesday, September 1^st

Dr. Winston will be teaching this unit and also providing some “hands on” experience for us by floating the teeth (using modern power tools) of two horses of different ages.
