Get To Know the Team!

Hello EA!

Do you want to get to know the s here on EA a bit better? Yes? If so, then this is the right place for you to be!

What is the team?

The team is an istrative team on Equestrian Amino. The team is made up of curators, advisors, and leaders. The purpose of the s is to help run the Amino. These are carefully chosen to insure the structure of EA and to make the community run smoothly.

Why are we doing this?

We want to be able to speak to s without feeling stressed or worried about what we think. We want you to be able to come to us for any questions or concerns you may have, or even just for a chat about life or non- related things! We are here to help, but also to be a friendly face to talk to and be friendly with!

How the Q and A will work?

If you have any questions - be it related or just personally - you can comment them down below. In the comments we will each set up a comment for each member. If you have any questions specific to that member, then reply to their comment with the question and they’ll reply to your question! However feel free to ask any general questions as a new comment and any of the will reply to it. Go crazy with questions! Ask us about our interests, riding, studies, funny stories, favorite and least favorite items and anything in between! This is a post for you to get to know us on a personal level!

But first- here is a little more about each of us!

╔══─《 Amz ~ crazyredchestnut 》─══╗

leader

Heya :) I am Amz (or Amy). Some of you may know me, or know my chestnut gelding - Coogs. I live in South Africa and I am currently studying to become a geneticist 🤓 I have been riding for a while, but still have so so much to learn! I currently compete in the 1.20m/4ft showjumping classes, but I also take great interest in trick training, riding bridleless and horsey psychology! So I am always down for a chat about training, riding or anything horse related. The more chatting the better! :raised_hands: 🏼 Apart from that, my side hobbies include photography and videography. I have a little informal business taking photos at horse shows, so that’s fun :see_no_evil: I am also a huge animal fan (especially birds - I own 5 :joy: ) and I love the outdoors and adventure. OHHH AND TEA. I LOVE tea. Best drink ever :ok_hand: 🏼

I am super chilled, accepting and easy going - even if it doesn’t seem so! So yeah, I am always here for anything really :)

╔══──────《 Tina 》──────══╗

advisor

Hey it’s Tina! I am 18, I am from Greece and I study plant science and agriculture. I am an animal lover (not a vegan unfortunately) and I have a bunny named Emma. Sadly my story with horses is very short , but I hope I can re-connect with them as soon as possible. I’ve been an for more than a year and a member for even longer, even though I haven’t been very well known throughout Amino.

Other than that I love learning new languages, culture, music, martial arts and of course travelling, my life is basically me planning for my next trip.

You can message me, if you feel like you want to learn more about me and I am always open to new people . :relaxed:

╔══─《 Stride for Stride-Horsey 》─══╗

curator

Hello! I go by the name of Horsey here on EA. I’ve been on amino for quite a bit now, and I’m grateful to be apart of the team here. I have been riding for around 3 years, and currently do English. I’m hoping to expand my riding and go into eventing at some point. I only lesson, but Bandit is definitely one of my favourite lesson horses, even though he’s pretty much the most dramatic horse on Earth as we know it. :stuck_out_tongue: When I’m not riding, you’ll probably find me rewatching Spiderman movies, or drawing. I love art, and have been getting back into it recently.

That’s pretty much the main things about me, but always feel free to message me if you have any questions, or just want to talk :+1:

╔══─《 :fire: The Chestnut Pony :fire: 》─══╗

curator

Hiya, I’m Lucy! I own a cute little chestnut pony and she’s the best bean I could ask for. I am a big dressage and flatwork fan but I also love liberty just as much! I’m more new to the equestrian world but I’m loving every minute of it. I also try to be a YouTuber in my spare time.

I have met so many great people here on EA and it would be amazing to answer some of your questions! :)

╔══─────《 :cactus: Kay :cactus: 》─────══╗

leader/advisor

I’m Kay which is short for Kayla. I’m kinda obsessed with cacti if you didn’t know. I live in South Africa and love the outdoors and to do photography when I am not riding.

I’ve had a strange riding journey but it’s been good! I honestly love to ride crazy horses and I finally have had opportunity to ride my mad child topaz for the past year and I hope there will be lots more!

My dream is to eventually move to Canada when I am older, as I need the cold, South African weather is too hot.

But anyway, I’m a long time member of team and have had many different experiences on this amino. If you’re wanting to chat my pms are always open.

curator

I’m Capybara, but you can just call me Capy! I’m a teenager from London, England, who’s been riding for four years. I ride and volunteer at my stables every Sunday, usually riding a 14hh chestnut pony called Riley! Aside from riding, I enjoy climbing, tennis, bullet journaling and the odd body boarding on holiday. I currently have five pets - three cats, Emily, Lucy & Kitty, a dog, Molly and a guinea pig called Silver! My favourite subjects at school are biology, chemistry and religious studies. As for EA, I love it here and spend a lot of time in the community, particularly making posts. I’ve been here for one year now, ing in November 2018 and being promoted to curator in April 2019.

╔══──《 HeyHelloit’sHero 》──══╗

leader

Hey guys! So a little about my Amino history: I first ed Amino fall of 2017. I became curator May 2019 and gained the title of leader on September of 2019. Now more about me: I live in Florida. I am in my 20s and have been riding for as long as I can . While my family has always been into horses and we have always had horses around, I really only started taking lessons during my undergraduate college years. I am now completing my last stage of graduate school to obtain a Masters degree in Speech Language Pathology. My current occupational goal is to work in the hospital in acute care, however, a long term plan of mine is to one day open up a hippo-therapy facility were I and other licensed clinicians such as physical therapy and occupational therapy can provide services facilitated by the aid of horses during therapy. I currently own five horses and one pony. I keep four of them at my personal barn and one is boarded at a training facility. I, of course, love horses, but I also love dogs and am very attached to my Border Collie named Molly who is turning 11 this December.

╔══─《 Aɳყα Eϙυҽʂƚɾιαɳ 》─══╗

curator

Hi, I’m Anya! I’m soon to be 15 years old, and I’ve been riding for 6 years. I live in California(USA), and other than riding I go to high school, play instruments, figure skate and dance. The instruments I play are trombone, ukulele, piano, and a little bit of guitar. I'm in concert band at school for trombone. As far as riding, I ride a black hanoverian gelding named Fame, who’s owned by my trainer. On this I’ve been on EA for about a year and became a curator in early March, 2019. I do equitation over fences with fame, and I ride 3-4 times per week. I like to cook vegan food and feed it to my friends/family, but I’m not very good at baking.

Anyway, the important part is that I’m a curator here on EA and here to help you! Send me a message whenever you like, or if you have a question!

curator

Hey! :) My name is Catherine, and I’m one of your curators! I’ve been a member of EA for almost 2 years now, and throughout that time I have met many great people and ed some great teams! Other than being a curator, I also manage the photography team and art team, and am a part of 10 teams in total. I’ve been around and on horses all my life, and can ride competitively in both English and Western, though I ride English much more often. The highest I’ve ever jumped was 4ft, but that was an accident involving a bolting pony and a fence in his way. :sweat_smile: I jump 2’-2’6 more consistently, and hope to be able to jump 4ft on purpose one day!

I’m 14 years old, and taking all the AP classes I can! Other than English, I speak Russian and a little bit of French, and would love to learn Spanish one day. Some of my other hobbies include art, photography and dog agility. I also love to go out to our local ice skating rink that’s open all year with my friends occasionally, and going to the movies is always fun too! I’m a huge Marvel fan, and will argue all day with you about how Hemsworth is the best Chris! :joy:
