I have been around horses ever since I was little since my family friends had horses, and I would ride their horses all the time. When I moved to Georgia I volunteered at a barn for about a year doing- back up trail rides, cleaning the stables, feeding and watering the horses, and doing whatever since they need me to do. I would also help teach my friends house to ride horse. I miss working in a barn and being around horses.
