Time goes by so quickly when you work with horses! This is my third month working at the ranch even though sometimes it seems like I just started.
The ranch has hired a new ranch named Chris. He is super friendly and knowledgeable about horses. Unfortunately, I don't get to work with him or Lynn very often since we all come on each other's off days. When they first put the job offer out for someone new to work at the stables, I thought it would be a piece of cake to decide who gets the job. It isn't! There are so many factors I had never thought of when it comes to hiring someone. I noticed there is a lot to consider when it comes to horses but I imagine it's similar with any professional position. One lady I met that I would have hired in a heart beat (she was so friendly and the times were perfect for her since she was retired) the manager didn't want to hire because of some important incapability. Another guy called that didn't know much about horses, and others were okay, but just didn't seem like a good fit for the ranch. I'm glad they chose Chris though, he really like his job.
I had two more days this week, Tuesday and Thursday morning ride as usual. I'm still getting used to waking up at 5 AM in the morning but it's worth it when I see the horses happy faces in the morning.
