After stalls, groom/tack/cool out until work training lists are done.

Ideally no pets or horses to come along.
Heavy smokers or drinkers need not apply.
Positives: Well handled horses. Educated, kind staff. Professional environment. Consistent reliable pay. Lots of routine.
Negatives: It is a daily grind. At the end of everyday, when we have checked off our one hundred point list, it all gets reset and we start all over the next day. You need to be planning to be on your feet 8 hours every day. We all hustle and work hard with good attitudes about it!
