At my school the stable on campus is student run. Students do everything from mucking out stalls to feeding horses to turning them in and out and blanketing them when it is cold. The barn holds about 25 horses. Each member is required to work one two hour shift a week and teach a lesson. In exchange they get to ride the horses whenever they want ( after their first year in the program). I have learned so much from being involved in this and it is a great deal of responsibility.
