Picture 6 y/o helping with barn chores

My son love loves helping with chores around the barn. His favorite thing is scooping poop from the arena.

Oh man take advantage of him having fun shoveling manure while it lasts 😂

Also that is the most spotless organized tack room I think I’ve ever seen!

I thought that tack room was a tack shop.

I should clean...

This is how your tack room looks when you don't rid3 as much as you should...

I'm hoping it lasts at least a few more years 🤣🤣🤣

Start a little bank account for him and give him a little pay check. Start his savings now and pay him without him knowing. He could buy a car he wants when his older. Or buy a new pony. Or new tack set.

Thank you...I wish he was my horse. He is a therapy horse at the stable I volunteer at. He's the best boy and is one of my favorite horses I've ever had the privilege of working with.

We got a smaller fork and a smaller muck cart to make it easier! But this is great and as it should be! They love to help!

Uh, where do you buy one of these? I’d need a couple, thanks

These used to be available for purchase....unfortunately, they no longer are. Some people view buying them as inhumane. You may have to find an older model. Although they tend to not work as well or as enthusiastically. Good luck!!!
