I have a few questions about working at your barn.
1 .- How often do you work?
2 .- Are you paid?
3 .- How are you paid: free lessons, cash, money off board etc.
4 .- Do you own a horse?
5 .- If so, do you pay full board?
6 .- If you don't pay full board, how do you get a discount?
7 .- What do you do at the barn (work-wise, I mean)?
It's kind of a mumble jumble of questions, so thanks in advance for taking the time to answer!
1-I work once a week (every Saturdays)
2-I don't get paid because I volunteer out out of my love for horses and desire to work by them.
3-I am paid by getting to be around horses and extra time to spend with my favourite horse
4-No i don't own a horse
7-I groom, turn out, catch, muck out, tidy, and sometimes feed
