If you could pay someone to do one job . . . .

If you could afford to pay one person to do one job horse related you have to do now what would it be?

[MyMagic]

Without any hesitation...CLEAN STALLS!!!

[Sunday Girl]

Ha, I'll clean stalls for you, MyMagic! I actually like that chore :P

I really hate checking/cleaning waterers. Granted, it was far worse when I had to scrub water buckets everyday, but I still hate doing the automatic ones - outside and in.

Watering during the winter months. I still have to water with a hose, so after I fill the buckets I have to run the hose through a tree to drain it out. It's not a difficult job, and it doesn't take very long, I just hate getting my hands wet when it's cold out. I don't think I've ever watered, summer or winter without getting at least a little wet.

[Zildjian]

Weed wack in the summer. I think that is one of the worst jobs ever!

[Suburban Tack]

Anything outside in the winter!

When I build my own barn, all the paddocks are going to be off the barn, with everything attached, so I NEVER have to go outside!

Someone to clean my house not just the normal but to come in and actually take away the stuff I sort through and want gone and don't seem to find the time to take somewhere.

[DYR]

Come to my ranch to work with my weanlings and train my young horses.

[UpNorth]

Water the horses in the winter - I HATE that job the worst!

[Norskgenes]

Definitely to clean the automatic waterer. I don't do it as often as I should, and when I get around to it, it's usually full of rust, manganese, icky hay, bits of floaty stuff, and occasionally poop (this is a red-flag warning to clean it out right away, though). Hate cleaning out that thing, but there's not a day that goes by in the wintertime that I don't count it among my blessings.

Clean water trough in the summer. Feed horses when it is 0 and under and hold the horses when the farrier comes. I hate holding them when the farrier comes but now I am down 3 horses it will be lots faster.

How come (love my grammar?) you hate holding horses for the farrier? I gotta say, I enjoy that. Gettin' to chat with a super nice guy about horses and horse people... Holding my crew pretty much means supporting the lead rope. When it's -10º I don't much care for it either, though.

The one job...for me would be the ENTIRE job! If I could afford it, my horses would be boarded out.
