    Ya’ll have clearly never done any stablehand work before.

    Horses are big, dumb, frighten easily, can easily kill you if you’re not paying attention or do something stupid…

    Oh yeah, its just like working as a barber, but where your clients fairly regularly just take a 5 to 10 pound shit in the middle of their haircut.

    …smdh…

      Sounds too hard so I’ll go with either poney, or maybe mini unicorn. At least it comes in rainbow colours.

      I would love to be a stable hand… hard AF work, but honestly… the clients would better then any human I’ve interacted with.

        Hah!

        I agree, horses aren’t very good at lying or making promises they can’t/won’t keep.

        And they’re roughly predicably stupid in the same ways, every time.

      No, at this job I would only be brushing the horses’ manes. Someone else would be in charge of shoveling the poop.

      (I actually have worked with horses before, I’m just being silly)

        Ah I see, the ole horsey cosmetician / poopsmith model of running a stable, haahah!

        Ah, I’m just too autistic to tell how serious people are being, in my defense… I have seen a lot of genuinely naive people in threads like these, and I’m just trying to give a … somewhat comical reality check.

        That being said, everyone gets a headpat, on the house, hahah!

        OBJECTION will brush your hair back to pretty after I muss it up a bit, :P
