If you are good at braiding, you can pretty much, make it a good career, braiding sales horses. Nicer the job, higher the pay, and demand.

When I used to rub horse I frequently witnessed a rubber band shower. While walking the horse out with the jockey on rubber bands (From the mane) would come raining down. I had no objection because the jockey saved me the trouble of undoing the mane later. :)

When I groomed for Jack Van Berg, I braided the sale horses and some of the racehorses ,but the jockeys pull a section out to hold onto. Unfortunately, they do not all hold in the same place. 😔🐴

Gosh how does she work with horses with nails like that pretty dangous id say.

Great question, found that my horse chores were easier with longer nails.
And my horses LOVED my longer nails when getting their scratches.
