What is your....

[WallisM]

worst horsey job ?
I think the only thing I really don't enjoy doing in the horsey world is pulling my horses mane

, He is good to have it done I just find it a right chore.

[meandmyself]

Yes, pulling manes is awful. Tails are worse though!

 

[vicijp]

I actually like pulling manes, seeing a job well done everyday cheers me up.
Now chucking over the muckheap.....hate it.
And clipping.

 

[EllieBeast]

Clipping

im sure i'd like it if i had a horse who didnt try to squash me as soon as the clippers are switched on

[Heidi1]

Hate clipping, all mine a really good, but just hate it.......

 

[Nic]

Clipping horse looks good but getting hair in places i didn't know existed is not

Tidying muck heap - ick unless in winter then good for defrosting tootsies

 

[Super_Kat]

Mucking out, sweeping, trying to gove Storm her Coligone (I ended up wearing most of it last night so I threw the syringe at her and stormed off

but just to be able to get the syringe within 100 yards of her without her rearing is a massive achievement! ), Clipping.....The list goes on

Got to be sheath cleaning....despite wearing latex gloves, that smell lingers for hours!

Although I have to say that my ponio makes the foul job so much easier by standing stock still with his legs spread for easier access.....methinks he enjoys it far too much, pervy so-and-so!

Clipping and poo picking

 

[threeponies]

Filling haynets.

 

[riotgirl]

Anything to do with hay. I get it everywhere and end up having a right strop!

 

[Mellymoo1]

Filling haynets, waiting for wet hay to drain, carying wet haynets to the stable. Also hate filling up the water buckets in the field!! Awful job!!

Getting my boy in when its raining isnt much fun either...

 

[Honeybee]

Definitely the FARRIER having to take a day off work and waiting, waiting, waiting and WAITING for him to come

 

[Soph83]

<span style="colorurple"> Mucking out, muck heap, bringing all the horses in when it's wet and changing wet rugs, doing the water in the field, hay!
I like clipping! I have to goet someone to do the outline though and I do the rest. </span>

 

[Claireg9]

One of the worst for me is taking two bales of hay out to the field every morning... which is a fair treck from hay barn to feed ours and everyone else horses in the winter, pouring rain freezing fingers, and knowing no other bugger cares enough to ever take there turn!!! Grrrrrr

Also the smell of mucking out, i dont mind doing the job just the smell, hay gets everywhere, and whilst i like clipping i also hate the hair getting everywhere!

Water up my legs when doing buckets, bathing myself rather than ponio and honestly anything i do i end up getting filthy or wet! Damn it!

 

[AmyMay]

Washing feed buckets - not much bothers me really about any horse jobs tbh.

 

[S_N]

I don't think I have one for my own horses tbh. Though I did start to begrudge looking after other peoples and getting a shite wage to boot! Having only ever had my own horse at my place of work, as part of my package, once, that was great and I loved it there, but looking after other peoples then, having to do my own...... NEVER again!

 

[Kelly1982]

I hate chucking up my muck!!! It all falls back down, then the wind blows and you end up with it in your hair, face and down your back and we burn ours so you also end up stinking of mouldy fags!!!

I REALLY hate that job!!

 

[charlie76]

Clipping and hoofpicking!

 

[Toby_Zaphod]

Ditto the sheath cleaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vicki1986]

love clipping and pulling and all that stuff!

Tack cleaning though....now that is a bore!!

 

[Eliza120280]

Pulling manes cos i'm not very good at it and it seems to take me ages!

 

[Petrie]

Definitely clipping.

And unloading and mucking out the lorry after an event any time but especially at 9pm, in the dark.

And grooming a very dirty horse in the winter, getting dried mud in your eyes and mouth, combing a muddy mane, picking out muddy feet. Ick.

Pulling burrs out of 20-odd horses tails EVERY blooming day!

That made me giggle

Hve to say that's one job I'm not looking forward to

Have to agree with this and feel this is why God evented the 'Lycra Hood'- the best invention ever!
