Yesterday I had the honour (& pressure) of presenting my job to my 5yo daughter Harlow’s kindy class 😊
25 eager little eyes were introduced to a dad whose job it is to “help people breed, buy & race the fastest thoroughbred racehorses in Australia” 🏇
We talked through:
- why people want fast racehorses - the appreciation for the animal, the fun, the challenge, the 105 1m races run in 🇦🇺 each year
- how we secure our horses which was accompanied by a live auction - incl auctioneer, gavel, bid spotters, toy racehorses & pretend money (the kids loved this especially)
- how to look after racehorses once we own them (the happiest & healthiest are more likely to win)
- how we know which horse in a race is ours, which was accompanied by some silk design, colouring & naming our racehorse
- the kids then sang a horse song which incl escaping their paddock & galloping around the classroom
- finally, we heard that once Tash & I had left that the kids raced their horses around the mat in a mock race organised by their fantastic teacher
- other props incl a Winx figurine & a
@mmsnippets 2YO Classic trophy 🏆
