Description
I have been training barrel horses for 30 yrs. I focus on barrel futurities.. I go to several futurities throughout the year and would love to have someone looking after the horses at home or come along helping me get the horses ready for the events. This would be cooling out, riding, grooming, cleaning stalls. I ride about 3 hrs a day so the rest of the day would be painting, yard and house chores.. Then on weekends I haul to different arenas to compete. On slow days and days I dont ride there would be lawn to mow and some painting pipe fence. I would need someone who is an experienced rider and comfortable around horses. You will not be barrel racing these horses as they are young and need someone very experienced. But depending on your expereince you will be exercising them. YOU WILL NOT BE BARREL RACING these horses just exercising. Female only. *️️*️️*️️*️️*️️*️️Please be honest about your riding experience.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You would learn the lifestyle in Canada and it is a very western lifestyle so if your an outdoarsey type person and like the farm life this would be a great opportunity. You would learn how to feed and care for performance horses. You learn how a barrel horse is trained but will not be required to barrel race. Just need someone to keep them exercised. . I live by the biggest mall and tourist attraction in Canada. West Edmonton Mall.

You take care of the horses, feed them and do small duties around the house. The horses are fun to ride too, even though I had to get used to the western saddle and the hot barrel racing horses first. Going to different barrel racing events was also great to see!
