Lol wow Shiobhan that sounds like an awesome job! Why would people pull out? I would have thought the hubbys could go to work on the mines for months and the ladies could work the horses hehe

I hope you find someone

LOL Sorry Shio, Have other commitments here that mean I can't leave the metro area. Thanks for the offer though.

What about Lark Hill and surrounding or Mundi etc?? Don't particularly want to be stuck doing stables because there's no horses to ride!

It would suit you PWF
I was very tempted to send K up there, but I guess I should let her finish year 12 first

gemgem. Had a girl planned to come that was here last year but she is busy with breakers at Ascot so cant make it soon enough. The other guy was not booked becuase we thought the girl was coming so he decided to go to Broome instead. Hey I would lol much nicer place hahah

Just hard to get people here becuase of location middle of no where. Not much a young person to do. Gym, couple of pubs and clubs.

And yes there is opertunity to get other work during the day to make even more money. Thats what our last rider did, when race season was finished she stayed on till christmas to save some money.
