Key Largo resident Edwin Hammond Meredith’s profession is in racing as a spec driver for Score International Series. In addition to this hobby that is also his profession, Edwin Hammond Meredith enjoys breeding and raising horses.
Horses at puberty usually enter an estrous cycle or become in heat during the breeding season, which occurs in the longer days up until winter. Their ovulation cycle is every three weeks, but they are only in heat between two and eight days with the mating opportunity lasting longer early in the season. The gestational time for horses lasts between 330 to 342 days with lighter breeds taking longer than heavier ones. As a part of planning to breed and house horses, breeders need to create an organized environment, so that materials are readily available regardless of who is taking care of the animals, For instance, breeders should prepare all the required barn’s tools so they are easily accessible to veterinarians. Horse breeders have to invest their own time in training their staff members to care for the horses. Moreover, hiring people who want to learn is integral to retaining staff members who want to do a good job. There are considerations related to cost. Breeding horses can be expensive when it comes to the everyday care of the animal. For instance, breeders have to pay for hay, grain, and then the overhead related to running the farm, such as electricity and salaries. Additionally, breeders have to pay for insurance. Then, there are costs associated with the methods of inseminating horses (i.e. fresh, cooled, or frozen semen) and whether the horse is to be bred at the farm or a facility. Finally, breeders have to factor in costs associated with vaccinating the horses.

Spec driver Edwin Hammond Meredith has several interests and hobbies. In addition to scuba diving and surfing, Edwin Hammond Meredith’s interests include stand up paddleboarding (SUP). SUP has a variety of physical fitness benefits, but the sport offers participants the chance to relax.
As with any other activity, one can have a good time if they are prepared to engage the sport. While it helps to be physically fit, SUP for beginners only requires that they know how to get on the board and paddle. Prospective SUPers can prepare by watching videos online, researching for tips, or taking practice lessons with seasoned or expert instructors. Participants can use the board in a few ways that will facilitate relaxation. Almost as if the board acts as a hammock, participants can lie atop the water and let the water lull them into relaxation. Take a favorite book on the water and spend a few hours reading while the narrative and the current allows the mind and body to drift away from present realities. This time can also be used to engage in an extended version of savasana, the meditation portion of yoga, allowing the stresses of life to float from the mind. Regardless of the relaxation method, sitting quietly over calm water, with the smell of salt or the sea nearby, with the sensation of the cool breeze caressing the skin can be an elixir for relaxation. |
