April 17th was the lucky date. It was the day I was informed that I would be the HRI intern at Navan Racecourse and it was also the night I helped with the delivery of a colt foal from a mare that I had been watching at home for three weeks.

Being the only college graduate out of the five chosen interns, I was extremely excited to take my next step in the horseracing industry, an industry that I feel most passionate about.
