weekends

Hi now that the college is back from our two weeks holidays. This means that the horses will start to come back to the yard the weather from now on gets worse meaning that the horses get kept in.

Due to the horses being kept in for the winter months we need to work one in five weekends form now till the Easter holidays. If we are working a weekend we end up working an eleven day week this may sound hard work but the weekends are a Lot of fun. The weekends start way us skipping out the beds then feeding the horses. After the horses are dun we take them out to the Field then the rest of the day is spent recovering from the night before and getting the krak he he. We get lunch at about 12.15 till 2.00 then we tidy up the yard and get the horses back in from the field then we leave about 3.45 and come back to Thurso. On Monday we start the college all over again.

It is also good because not every student has to be out at the yard every weekend we are split in to groups of about six students and one of the Tutors ether Marion or Alaster . It's good this year as there are ten 1st year students which means that we only have to do four weekends in total which works out at one in five.
