• I have had this job for quite a long time now but my jobs and chores would consist of cleaning roughly 14 stalls and making sure horses were fed hay and grain, as well as making sure all the cows and goats are taken care of as well. We would have to scoop the waste and make sure the arena and all stalls and wings were cleaned before we rode any horses.
