Strengths and Weaknesses

• What do you most enjoy about working with horses?

What I most enjoy about working with horses is the bond you build with them through daily care.

I also love working outdoors and being hands-on with the horses every day. It’s really a way of life and that’s the way of life I like outside with these beautiful animals.
