Please Let it Work!!!


I have the most awesome news that isn't 100% off the ground. It's more like 50%. I got asked by someone from my school if I would like to halter break and do ground work with a foal she has. Her mother trains barrel horses, and she wants someone to start her foal. I don't know if she just doesn't have time or what. So I was waiting for the bus and I walked up to this girl and the conversation went sorta like this.
"Do you know how to train horses?"
"Ya, totally."
"Do you want to halter break and do ground work with one of our horses? My mom is kinda like, 'we really  need to get someone to start this horse.'
"Heck ya."
"How much do you want to get paid?"
"Ya know I don't know. Because I am a beginner horse trainer it will be less, but I really don't know what I should ask. So ask your mom what she thinks I should get."
"Were would you train him? At our place or yours?"
"Honestly it would be so much easier to keep him at my place, but I'll have to ask Terry what he thinks about and then there's paying for feed."
"Ya, so I'll ask my mom about that."
"I'll see what Terry thinks and get back to you."
I am super excited to see how this works out, cause honestly everything is in my favor. It's a paying job. Which would be appreciated. We have an open stall because we recently lost our oldest horse, it would help me to get more motivated to get over and work with him and I would therefore work with my other horses. I feel like Terry would say that we already have too much on our plate, but I think it'll be an incentive to work more with our horses. If we add another horse to our roster of mounts we will have nine horses to ride all together. Six is usually a more common number though. We don't have to ride Strudder or Santana. So add another one and we do seven. Though this horse doesn't need to be ridden and will take less than half an hour a day.
I can't wait to do all the work we put into the fillies into that horse. I actually don't know the gender, breed, age, or anything else about this horse. I'm thinking that this horse is a little older that what he should be to be just starting on this because they really need it done. I seriously hope he isn't a stallion, but seriously doubt that would even be a possibility.
So that's my exciting news. I don't know what will happen. It's a surprising twist. It's really funny too. I'm getting a job prospect even before I will need it. God's done that to me quite a few times. When I need money, even before I know I'll need it, I get some type of job. It really is quite amazing.
