This past Thursday I attended the orientation session at the CFP des Moissons which is the school through which I will be taking my Animal Production course. I met the teachers, and learned a lot more about the type of things I will be learning throughout my training. All I can say is WOW... it is a little daunting as there is so much to learn, but basically by the end of this course it looks like I will not only be able to more than competently care for horses, but I will also be a little bit of a "jack of all trades". I will learn to drive a forklift, drive a tractor, and maybe even a truck.. I will know how to grow good quality food for the horses... right down to being able to accurately calculate how much fertilizer I'll need to prepare the field for planting. I will learn basic plumbing, welding, "oxycoupage", maintenance and repair of farm equipment, and so much more...
My classes start on Tuesday, and although I'm nervous as to how I'll handle the new schedule and all the work (especially because my courses are ALL in FRENCH) , I am very, very, very excited
