Meet Battle! He is an Arabian gelding from the the 15-horse stable that I volunteer at every Saturday. I answered an ad on Craigslist for some part-time stable help and am loving every minute of it. For a few hours I feed, water, turn-out, groom, and exercise the horses. The smell of horses, hay, leather and grain makes me very happy.
The owner invited me to take part in a Labor Day trail ride and I was all too happy to join in. I rode Battle and he was a dream. (sigh) I used to have horses as a girl and I have missed it so much. 18 years later and I am back in the saddle again. It's a great feeling.

What a fabulous way to reignite that passion Allison! I am so jealous!
That is so cool, Allison! Good for you.
Babe, I'm glad you're doing this! It's a great way to get away for a couple of hours, I know you need the break! I'm glad to be here with the kids.
Wow, does this picture look familiar!
Good for you! Isn't it great to do the things you miss or wished you could try?
Hey Allison - you are looking good up there!
That was my first job ever! I've worked in several barns over the years.
