Josie's Outfit
Intro for: mac
Stable work certainly was not the most glamorous of jobs. Most of the time she came home smelling like manure and hay but the smell weirdly enough reminded her of home. Whenever she came to work it was like going back to Arizona. The musty smell of hay reminded her of her grandmother’s farm back home. Today her job consisted of mucking out the stalls since the equestrian therapist had off for the day. Josephine steered the wheelbarrow of (for a lack of better term) horse poop up to another stall and grabbed her pitchfork.
She shoveled out the next stall and allowed her mind to wander. This kind of stuff was mind-numbing work, all mechanical and no real thought-process. Her grandmother taught her how to clean out a stall at a young age and told her it built character. Most of the horses were out at pasture, enjoying the sunshine. It was much easier to muck out a stall when you didn’t have to work around a horse.
Josephine peeled off one of her work gloves and wiped her forehead with the back of her hand. She only had one more stall to finish up but right about now she could really use a break. Squinting, she looked past the open barn door and caught sight of her own horse out at pasture, galloping along with a group of other horses. She swore her mare was part dog sometimes.
With a heavy sigh, Josie put her glove back on and moved onto the last stall. She hummed to herself as she began her work.
