I have worked for Horse Country for a little over 6 months now. I have to admit I was intimidated for a second by the bridge but it really is nothing to be worried about that bridge is safe. The people that look at it and say it isnt are the same people that would have complained at the other bridge which when the water came to flooding stage the water would come rushing at the base of the bridge and had no room for debree floating down river to pass. I started off working just sundays. I was taught the proper and safe way to do things with the horses before being able to do things on my own.(groom, tack, walk, ride, clean stalls, feed, everything.)The interactions and the things you get to do at Horse Country everytime your there is everything you would need to do if you owned the horse. I loved Horse country so much that I started working some Saturdays as well I now work all Sundays and 2 Saturdays a month. The owners of this farm are great they will teach you many things and if you ask questions you can expect to get the honest true answer. I have learned soooo much working at Horse Country it seems that every time I'm there something else pops in my mind to ask Shannon and Colleen and they are more then willing to share the answers and go indept with the answer not just the answer of because which I have gotten at other places. Shannon and Colleen care about their animals and their customers They do everything for your saftey and the horses saftey. We have many different horses and they all get fed according to their needs different horses go to fields for the night time and others go up on the mountain for the night however when it's really rainy, snowy, icy, etc., they're in the barns. Of course, during the summer it's a different story. When the horses are out at night they get to play with the other horses as a herd which they need because they are social animals and have a herd mentality. At Horse Country the Leasers, Volunteers, Students, and Owners are all like one big Horse Country ""Family"" If you really want to learn the way to ride and have the passion for horses the way that the horse country ""Family"" does then come and visit horse coutnry is the place for you. However if you want everything handed to you and expect the horse to do the work for you then Horse Country is NOT for you for the simple fact that at horse country The Horse MUST enjoy the ride as much as the rider.\r
