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.)

  1. Say more about what you are thinking, learning, experiencing, in addition to what you are doing. I am not worried about how many hours...that will show up on your log.
