I started my new job today. The barn I ride at lost a couple of their employees, so they hired me, part time. I work m-f 7 am-noon and I have 10 stalls to clean and 4-6 horses to groom and tack up. I also get to go to all of the shows and help out. I'm really excited. Hopefully they will let me lunge and drive horses soon.
There's this horse there, Cabby, who has won a few world champion titles. While I was cleaning his stall I couldnt help but think "hmm. I'm scooping world champion poop."
my arms and my back hurt now, but thats okay because i LOVE my new job.

I sure wish I had a job.... but no I got lazy and didn't get one before they were all taken by college kids. I'm pretty much screwed. Have fun scooping poop.

working at barns is fun as long as your employers aren't assholes. or really really anal about stuff. or just not nice people in general. (yeah, i don't work for her anymore.)
my two beasties just moved home...scooping poop every waking moment is in my future. and they are sooo messy. it's like some kind of sadistic scavenger hunt.
but it's so nice having them at home now...i rode leah for the first time in our back field, and she probably spent more time in the air than on the ground. she just might have a second career as a bucking horse in her future, if she keeps that up...
have fun though lycia...and hopefully once they see you're competent, you'll get the fun jobs.
