Hi there!
I've never had experiance working with horses. However, soon, I will be volunteering at a farm where I will be taking care of the horses. Seeing as many people here have quite a lot of experiance with horses, I was hoping if someone could explain to me a few things.
First of all, exactly how dangerous can horses be? What things do i have to watch out for? What kinds of things do they usually do that could be harmful?
Secondly, what kind of work will I have to do around the stables? Should i keep a separate pair of clothes just for that day (won't my clothes get really smelly?) How hard is it? Really tiring or no?
Thirdly, do I have any chance of gaining any muscle from all the stable work? Any chance of gaining muscle riding a horse?
Maybe these questions sound a bit silly - but I'm really eager to know! Thanks and take care!
(P.S., anyone have beautiful Arabs they would like to share pics of? :wink: )
