Dh applied for a full time/ AD job with the national guard. He has pretty much had it with his civilian employer. Long ranting story. But if you would be so kind as to send him some gool luck vibes when you can between now and wed. ( he finds out on Wed if he got it or not) it would be appicerated. He really wants this job badly. Yeah there are some good and not so good that goes with it but heck I married the idiot..mmm.. the military...So I accept them.

Thanks HNM

Thanks guys knew I could count on TOC for a boost for dh.
MY job is going well. Actually now that we are actually hitting 50+ deg temps a lot better on my body. We are down to 5 horses which is ok. All fillies. We had 7 for a while one when to Pa to race at 'The Meadows" the other went to a new home to be an amish horse.
The only thing I wish were diffrent would be a day off occasionally. 7days a week with the exception of when we had that large snow drop right before Easter. But we might have some comming up during fair season when some of hte horses go home to be shlepped off to the various fairs...They start in June. I really do not know what type of schedule is done during that time so I am guessing I will have a day off during that time. Actually I know I will as when our fair comes around the 'boarding horses' have to vacate a few days before and for race horse only come back the day they race. So our fair rund for 4 days so I *should* have one off then.
I am really enoying the job. it is a lot of humping chit around but that is ok. I get to watch the sun rise while sipping my coffee, hear the birds, watch other horses. Heck if I didnt have one of my own this would be perfect for the non owner horse lover.
The worst part about the job is the guy beds in straw instead of shavings. I hate picking straw you can not just get the chit you have to take some good bedding with you.
There is one horse there who when she arrived I did not trust as far as I could throw her. It is normally not a good sign of things to come when you are giving the horse their breakfast and they stand in the stall looking over their sholder as if to size you up and cock their hind leg enough to indicate a good solid kick will come along if you happen to move in a way the horse doesnt like.
But that was actually good compaired to when she was being tacked and hooked up. Guess she has a history of throwing herself on the ground,and being an all around wench. So we have been working on her attitude. And it is getting better I could actually go into her stall today with out being threatened, and with out someone else being in the barn. So we are making progress. Now we just have to get her to relax after being checked up ( with the over check bit she gets really antsy with it) so she doesnt fly out of the barn at almost break neck speed. But it is comming along. Small steps for this horse she can not be rushed at all. We Think someone (who ever broke her to harness) was a bit rough with her so we are basically doing what any rider would do in this situation start over very slowly. Letting her know that she isnt in trouble if she doesnt go as soon as hooked and checked. That noone is going ot hurt her in hte stall etc. The basics is what she needs and that is what she is getting, along with her training for track. We have seen big improvements in just a few days. So I hold out hope that she will be a rather nice mannered horse by the time she races as she /we do not need steps backwards.
But other than that I like it. Though it will be nice to work because I want to not because I have to to put gas in car or milk in fridge...
