Son's Boy Scout Project

LeapOfFaithFarm · 08-06-2009, 09:05 AM

OK my 12 year old had to do a project for his Equine merit badge for boy scouts. He is not one to get up in front of people and read a short report (he has lots of learning issues) so his scout leader lets him come up with new and different ways to show what he learned.
He saw my hubbys Economics book on the table and decided with all the stories that he has heard about horses that are left to starve and such that he would do a short video on Equine Economics 101. I thought that he did a great job and it was a cute video that he made on the computer (with some help) So here is Mikey's version of Equine Economics 101 .... hope you enjoy

I loved it! Wow that poor mare started out soooooo skinny but looked wonderful at the end. The end shot of the 1/2 a paycheck had me laughing!

Very good job and very original. Very true about the free horse not really a free horse we have one of those free rescue horses too.

Well thanks alot. Now I am sitting here scratching my head and wondering if I have lost my ever loving mind for having two "free" horses.

Up until your son's wonderfully informative and simple to understand, video, I had managed to convince myself it wasn't really all that expensive.

GREAT JOB!! Did he get his badge?? He should have. That was so simple to understand, even this cave woman got it.

(still not sure I'm happy about it though

)
