This press release reads like it was written by a 3rd grade student.

Well it is a bad name and very hard to use. A journeyman is something just above an apprentice in the trades. Once the trade is learned, usually someone becomes a "master." Journeyman indicates some skill but still requiring supervision. Anyhow, it is difficult to use like that. I hope they are not journeymen at handling stallions and mares.

Here is the definition:
jour·ney·man /ˈdʒɜrnimən/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[jur-nee-muhn] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -men.
1. a person who has served an apprenticeship at a trade or handicraft and is certified to work at it assisting or under another person.
2. any experienced, competent but routine worker or performer.
