Brooke's science project made it to science fair. She was very surprised and didn't want to do it but she did. She got honorable mention and a $10 savings bond as her award. She did her project on "How does grooming affect a horses heart rate?" She had to work all 3 horses for 3 minutes then let them rest alone for 1 minute then take their heart rate. She repeated the same thing except instead of the horse resting alone, she groomed the horse. We all thought for sure that grooming would bring the heart rate down but it didn't happen that way for the most part. Some of the times it came down, others it was the same for both. The teacher liked the fact that she posted the many things that could have changed the results such as the cold front that came through, the fact that it was biketober fest (I hate motorcycles and I think the horses do too!), the 101 airplanes that seemed to fly over our house everyday and the horses different personalities. The project was a mojor pain but it turned out very good. Now she has to get a social studies project done by Jan. 9th!
