This picture is my favorite. Even though it doesn’t have a lot of horses in it, it shows one of my favorite places to be. This picture also has me reflected in it. I think it shows that the barn is just as important as the horses in it. The barn itself is pretty ragged and a little torn up; it’s not new and beautiful. The place where the hack horses live during the day and sometimes at night is a half barn, which is small and most of the stalls are just stations. The two horses’ behinds you see in the photo are those of our horses Rocky and Mico. Mico and Rocky are both standing in half stalls and are only clipped in where they stand for the day and this is where they eat in the morning and then again at night. Part of my job is to clean out the half barn and take care of the hack horses along with the boarder horses. Were I’m standing in this photo is one of my favorite places to be because I can see the horses inside along with the horses in the fields behind me. This barn is magical!
This barn may not be new and pretty. Horses may be allowed to poop on a ground that’s not paved; but it’s amazing. I think all people see is the new stuff, but when it’s old for me it’s special. I love this barn more than my prissy English barn. The old feel for me, is always better. I like working in a place that’s old and friendly. Places where people aren’t always telling me what to do, I know my job. Frank’s horses are hearty muscular animals’ not thin lanky jumpers. They live were horses are meant to live, outside. Horses are gorgeous tough animals and need to been seen as animals not prizes. I love working and riding. Even when it means working in an old barn.
