Welcome to Mizmanagement
Mizmanagement is based around the U of L College of Business Schools Equine Business Management department... And how we are its most unprofessional members. Between eating in class-- a practice "strictly forbidden" by the business schools conduct rules, to overtaking the graduate student lounge, to chasing people away with our less than business-like conversations... Brianna and I, hope you too will identify with the hilarity that is being an equestrian in the world of business.
Brianna and Emily: Who are These People?
Brianna
Riding Styles: Hunter/ Jumper, Western, Trail and BAREBACK!!!
Pets: Oh my, so many... I have one Thoroughbred, Hall of Famer (aka Oz). Four dogs, Kiki (Chihuahua mix), Shorty and Tookie (Pitt Bulls) and Dixie, 3 cats Oreo, Milo and Midnight.
Career Goal: As crazy as it sounds, I want to run my own small scale Thoroughbred racing and breeding farm. I'd like to be able to take my horses through their racing careers and then transition them to their second careers myself.
If you could have ANY job in the world it would be what?: The one I described above. You only live once, why not try to do what you really want to do? (You know, so long as it's legal...)
4 Things you need to know about me:
1. I was an art major before going into business and our idea of business is... a little odd... Business attire means your jeans may have less holes than normal and maybe, just maybe you don't have paint on your face. Forget about the paint under your fingernails, it's not coming out.
2. I'm an honors student ranked within the top 10% at the university :o
3. I LOVE music! All kinds of music... expect French apparently...
4. Aside from horses and painting, I like to write "short" stories.
You are locked in your house for an entire day. What do you do?: Throw myself a mini-dance party practicing moves you'll never see in public, surf the web (probably get stuck watching TED Talks for a while). Annoying the the dogs like a champ. Work on my "short" stories, watch movies. Throughout all of this, I'll try not to break/ injure anything :)
Least Favorite Class you’ve ever taken: Advanced Creative Writing! For some reason I just didn't like the way it was taught. I didn't like the atmosphere of the class. It was literary fiction whereas I would rather write "teen fiction" I guess. But HEY, I'm an art student and in art rules are more like suggestions you've been dared to break because they're labeled as rules.
Favorite Class you’ve ever taken: English 101/ 102. Best teacher ever for an art student in a subject that may or may not be easy for them. I tried to take the oddest angle on each paper I wrote and was awarded for each of them. I mean, we got to read Watchmen as a part of the class! An art student reading a graphic novel for class? Oh YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Guilty pleasure equestrian purchase?: Halters. I find them cheap and who doesn't always need more halters? I think my horses and 3 or 4 halters each. One rope halter each, 1 break away, a nylon or 2 apiece and 1 leather one with a brass nameplate for the Thoroughbred.
One unique quirk of your horse(s): Oz holds his right front up while eating.

Riding Styles: Saddleseat Academy, Collegiate Team Saddleseat, Western Pleasure Saddleseat, occasional light jumping, Trail/Western Ridin' around
Pets: Dexter- Amrican Standardbred (presumably), Jaykub, Wolf/coyote/German shepherd mix, Bang-Bang- Calico kitty, Lucipher Sam (Lucy)- Tortoise shell Kitty, and Tilly the turtle.
Career Goal: Owner of a small-scale, mostly self-sufficient dairy farm, and a zookeeper for the Louisville Zoo. I've been considering possibilities in the equine market as well.
Or a Unicorn. I like unicorns, unicorns are cool.

If you could have ANY job in the world it would be what?: Orca trainer! I'd train Orcas and probably eventually get my legs bitten off.
4 Things you need to know about me:
1, In 2014 I got to complete my biggest life long dream of showing a spotted American Saddlebred at the World Champiopnship Horse Show!! It was undoubtedly the most amazing experience of my life!
2. I worked for four years as an exotic animal handler working with everything from Tigers, to ocelots, to wolves and foxes, and pretty much everything in between. I am currently on a hiatus to finish school but hope to return ASAP!
.3. I am a HUGE, DIE HARD, no holds-bar, completely obsessive, over the Moon Green Bay Packers Fan!!! My house has a Green Bay themed finished basement complete with a leather recliner game watching couch and 50+ inch TV for football watching, though we watch every single Packers game in "our spot" at Saints Pizza and Pub. GO PACK GO!!!!
4. After enough time around me everyone eventually finds out I am in fact Narcoleptic :)
You are locked in your house for an entire day. What do you do?: Watch Netflix all day (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Wilfred, Firefly, The Walking Dead....) and most likely spend the day going crazy on Pinterest and naming and cataloging my hundreds of Breyer Horses.... Probably play some good Vidja games as well (I've never EVER been accused as a nerd let me tell you.)
Least Favorite Class you’ve ever taken: My senior year of high school I took two classes at my local community college and one of them was a College Algebra class that I took since math wasn't required senior year and I didn't want to forget how to add before school started (I'm horrible at math). The class was 2 and a half hours long with one five minute break. It was hell. The teacher was cool though, she had an alpaca farm.
Favorite Class you’ve ever taken: History and Sociology of Rock Music and Classic Rock Albums. Before transferring I stayed at said community college for 2 years and took these two classes with one of the coolest teachers ever. It also ties with my "Crafting Comics" class I took at UofL. The professor was the best I've had, not to mention we got to make comics and write stories which inspired me to begin a story I am already more than a year into writing now. We are still friends with the teacher and try to convince him to meet us for inspirational writing sessions!
Guilty pleasure equestrian purchase?: Brushes. I buy WAY too many brushes.
"What's that?! This hard brush comes in TEAL?! I know I have three hard brushes but this one is teal and fancy looking."
One unique quirk of your horse(s): Crunchy used to stick his tongue out for no reason whatsoever, it was totally adorable. As for Dex he HAS to check your feet throughout your ride to make sure they still exist. Everytime you stop, before you start again he has to touch one of your feet.
