  Mounted Shooting Association. I've always
  planned on pursuing a career in equine veterinary
  medicine. Now I am thinking of a mixed practice
  hospital- I'm not sure yet. I've held many
  offices in the past and been a part of numerous
  clubs such as Animal Health Technology/ Pre-Vet
  Club, Collegiate FFA, Block and Bridle, Alpha
  Zeta (Ag fraternity), and before those FFA,
  Saddle Clubs, Appaloosa horse club, 4H, Key Club,
  National Honor Society, and others.

• Rockford, IL
• University of Illinois

I have grown up showing horses of all kinds from
hunters to western pleasure to speed events. As
an undergrad I was actively involved in the
equestrian club and served as president for two
years and historian for one year. I would like to
be the AAEP class rep to be able to meet more
equine people in our class as well as meeting
more equine personnel in the community. I also
enjoy helping to educate others on different
aspects of equine medicine.

1st Year Class Rep. Candidate
Lindsay Reinhart Chicago, IL
I am originally from Chicago and I did my under
grad at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in Terre Haute
IN.  I was a pre-professional major and minored
in equine health sciences.  I have ridden english
hunt/jump since I was little and even competed
intercollegiately during my undergrad (I rode
advanced walk trot canter on the english team).
 I also spent a summer working with the equine
and other large farm animals (cattle, llamas,
sheep, goats, pigs) at the Indianapolis zoo. I
spent the past year shadowing with one mixed
large animal vet and one equine only vet while
working for a small animal emergency and
specialty practice (specialty included surgery,
ophthalmology, radiology, and internist).
