Week 3 - Internship

The third week of my intern, Christine was out so I had to look after the horses in the morning (7:30) by myself. Looking after nine horses by myself wasn't as hard as I originally had thought it would be. I did the usual - muck first, feed the horses, water, groom, and water the cows and deer. Since the first day I went was on Thursday, I made a supplement for the horses they get three times weekly. It consists of a special formula to prevent flies from breeding in the manure, white powdery stuff that smells sweet, and normal grass pellets to make sure they eat it.

I did this twice that week, Thursday and Saturday. I may have been able to exercise the horses Saturday afternoon, but unfortunately I had to work at the luau that evening. The first day took 4 hours and the second took 3. (I think the difference was making the supplement, but it normally wouldn't take that long.)
