Mucking stalls in the barn is my idea of a cardio work out. Scoop, lift, dump in wheel barrow, repeat until full, take said wheel barrow to manure/compost heap and try to dump with out falling in yourself. Repeat until all stalls are clean. Now carry bales of wood shavings to stall, spend 5 minutes on each bale just trying to open, then dump and spread with boots and pitch fork. Ready for hay now! Wrestle bale into position and cut wire (watch your face here it flies out fast) or take the wheel barrow to the round bale and fork hay to the barn the old fashioned way. Freshen the water buckets and let horse into stall. And you think your finished, NOT, not unload the feed from the truck into the feed containers. Then feed all animals, don't forget the horse! Now the day is done, no wait there's kids to feed and a house to clean.

Think I'll just move into the barn and eat hay with the horses
