Equestrian job!

In the holidays people paid me to ride their horses!!!i  rode 8 horses each day for 2 weeks since each horse takes 1and half hour each usually more i would wake up at 4 am each day but i would usually finish at around 9pm i just stayed their with all the stable grooms because it was easier. It was really fun since i made alot of money I'm going to buy another horse hopefully. I also broke in a horse this means training a horse that hasnt been ridden before or handled his name is goldie he is a small pony and is really naughty and i fell off a few times but now he is completely safe now.
