MY VERY FIRST PUBLISHED ARTICLE!
This is so BIG!
AQHA Performance Horse Journal, February/March issue
“TWO YEARS AGO, I SPENT AN EVENING REMINISCING WITH MY friend, Rhoda Rein, about all the horse shows we’ve helped manage and secretary over the years. We laughed about the amount of time and energy we had expended trying to create “perfect” performance horse events. As our bottle of wine dwindled, we mused about the possibility of creating that all over again – but this time, as paid professionals, not just as volunteers.”
The Editor of AQHA’s Performance Horse Journal, Betsy Lynch, continually showed me the way on this article. I am so thankful to her for coaxing this story out of me. It started much like what she cautiously noted as a “book report,” and evolved into a piece of creative non-fiction that others might enjoy. Betsy took the time to read my drafts, probe deeper into my memories, and help craft this story into what it became. As she pointed out, they are all my words, she just helped to arrange them better. “That’s what editor’s do Jennifer!” she said with a knowing laugh. Thank you Betsy for taking the time to mentor me, and for the opportunity to be published in your prestigious magazine! I look forward to working with you again soon.
I appreciate your time, and I value your feedback. Please take a moment to rate or share this article below. Your comments are also welcome. All the best to you! Until next time ~ Jennifer
