Shunnnnn the unbeliever. Shunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

I am a little hard on her from time to time, but it's because she gets a little lazy, and thinks she's being "picked on". Her mother is great and does alot for her, but again...this only allows her to be lazy! I am looking for some possibilities for her for next summer to be a working student AWAY from this area. She will turn 17 next July. I would love some recommendations, websites, and job descriptions from anyone willing to give it up! She has a really great mare she shows in the jumpers that I would prefer go with her for the summer so she could show. Some examples of positions would be good, so I could show her what's involved. She needs to WORK and WORK HARD and really learn what the business is all about. She says it's what she wants to do. If I didn't think she had some skill I wouldn't be recommending her. I feel that she needs to remove herself from her comfortable atmosphere and we may see her real potential. I think that a groom/working student position for possibly a month (minimum) would be great. Please send me any info you may know of! THANKS!

She will be lazy, she will get smart, and she will talk back. However, if you don't hesitate to take her down a few pegs...she will be great. She is an excellent rider, however!

I'm used to dealing with teenagers and have no problem setting them down for a reality check. The horse can come and I can probably stick her in a dorm room. I'd love to have a few days off...
