What I do for work

         As I sit here trying to come up with something to write about before I head off to work, it just made sense to talk about what exactly I do for work. In my previous blog I mentioned that I work on a farm, but there is so many different kinds of farms and so many different things to do that I'm sure not many have much more than an idea of what I do. If you read my previous post you could probably guess that I work at a horse farm. But there's a lot more to it than that.
          I car for about 50 horses by myself 5 days out of the week. It doesn't sound like much to some, but it can be pretty exhausting. I work at Windy Hill Equestrian Center which is now owned by Ironwood Performance Horses. It is mainly a showing stables which means the horses I care for at pretty high maintenance.
          There's definitely things I enjoy about working there but there is also plenty that I hate about it. It's no different than any other job. Of course the thing I love most about working where I do is being able to spend a majority of my day with horses. Working with horses is definitely a passion of mine and I couldnt imagine wanting to do anything other than that. Now I don't mean that I want to be working on a farm for the rest of my life, this is just temporary until I can finish school. While working with horses is great, there are some things I don't enjoy so much about it. No matter what day it is, how cold it is, how hot it is, if it's a holiday, or if you're sick you don't get a break. Horses need to be cared for everyday, and that means the 5 days out of the week I'm expected to work, I work. Although working on a farm is not as fun as it may sound I would still rather do what I do than work anywhere else right now.
