First Days of Work

Late Winter marked the beginning of Breaking and Training for our 7 Standardbred horses, preparing them to race in harness races.

As a new employee, I was excited to be a part of this process. I had always been fascinated by the sport of horse racing, and now I had the chance to be a part of it. The first days of work were a bit overwhelming, as I attempted to learn the ropes of my new job. But the people I worked with were patient and helpful, showing me the ropes and correcting my mistakes.

I remember the feeling of satisfaction I got after completing my first task successfully. It was the little things at first, like cleaning the stalls or grooming the horses. But as time goes on, I would be given more responsibility and entrusted with tasks like feeding and exercising the horses.

The days were long, and the work could be physically demanding, but I didn’t mind. I was learning about something I was passionate about, and that made it all worth it. As the winter gave way to spring, I watched as the horses progressed in their training, becoming stronger and faster with each passing week.

Looking back on those first days of work, I realize how much I’ve grown since then. I’ve developed skills that I never knew I had, and I’ve gained confidence in myself and my abilities.
