(TS)On my fourth visit I felt more comfortable as I walked through the doors.(SD)I said help to a couple of fellow volunteers before heading straight to work.(CM)I had not been assigned to help with any lessons yet so I looked around until I found some work that needed to be done.(CM)Buddy, one of the lesson horses, needed to be tacked and groomed before his lesson. All of the other volunteers were busy so I happily took the job.(SD)At first I though this would be very easy.(CM)Buddy is a very large white horse who's back is taller than my head. (CM)Buddy is fully aware of his size and uses it to his advantage. As I entered his stall, I had to move him to the side to brush him. pushed as hard as I could but he wouldn't budge because he was eating his hay.(SD)I decided to let him finish his hay before trying to move him because it would be impossible to do so otherwise.(CM)After a while I found one of my friends and together were able to push Buddy over a few steps.(CM)having accomplished this small goal I proceeded in grooming and tacking Buddy, getting white hair all over me in the process.(CS)I felt like I was able to help out more today, even if I wasn't giving a lesson, I still did something important. My friends and I celebrated this success with our new hot chocolate tradition.
