What's the worst yard chore?

Same here. I love poo picking and seeing clean paddocks, love a nice tidy heap, don't use haynets, don't mind raking or sweeping, love tidying the tack room, don't mind mucking out but I do hate filling water buckets for stables and trying to lift them across the yard with weak wrists and a bad back. Irritates me.
 
In the winter - sweeping up and haynet filling (well not actually nets as I feed from the floor, but still have to fill bags from big round bale)
in the summer - ragwort picking
I actually like mucking out and will do other peoples stables as well if I've spare time!
 
Well I quite like poo picking, especially if there is no one around as I can then sing! (fields are quite isolated so no one should hear me!) Get lost in my own little world and will quite happily carry on for ages :D

I also really like looking for lost items in the field as I have good eyesight so nearly always find them (normally very quickly as well which makes other people look silly who have been moaning that we'll never find the lost shoe/headcollar/boot etc.)

I don't mind most yard jobs, not a massive fan of filling haynets so give my horses loose hay wherever possible.

Only job's I can't stand are clearing the drains (by hand! Eugh, try to make sure someone else does that one!) and also sheath cleaning which just seems wrong in my oppinion, will avoid that like the plague unless it is absolutely nessecary.
