Equine Science – Placement sponsored by Cargill and Tractor Supply Company
Despite not growing up on a horse farm, Bethany Ann Jones of the Wilson Central FFA Chapter in Lebanon, Tennessee, has a passion for the animals, stemming from the neighboring farms that she visited as a child. When she reached the age of 13, she was given a non-riding position at one of those farms, doing things like cleaning stalls and watering. That became an assistant trainer job and she was also hired at a second horse farm, giving lessons to young riders. Jones hopes to continue her work in the equine industry in the future. She is supported by her parents Sherry and Lathon and her FFA advisors Benny Joe McDonald and Pam Farmer Walker.
