hallo everybody.
this is kind of off topic, but i need a little advice. till a few days ago i thought i had the job of my dreams. i was working in a stable, mostly with the 2 year old horses which are just being started to be ridden. i have loved horses all my life and been riding for a very long time. today was the first day that i actually had to get on some horses that have never been ridden before. they went completely nuts. i got bucked off about 5 times. one of them through me into the wall, and one of them even landed on me. i was scared to death. but it has always been my dream to start my own stable and train horses for other people. so i dont just want to give up. but i was really scared for the first time that i ever got on a horse today. i dont want to get killed. the other side to it is, that i am from germany and legally not allowed to work. the owner pays me under the table. so if i would quit, i dont think i would find another job and i need the money (i am also going to university). please let me know what you think. i really dont knwo what to do....but my whole boddy hurts like hell...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Also, since this is your first time, you are probably scared. I know it takes a while to learn how to tame a horse or when it starts to buck, to calm it down and remain on it without getting the shit kicked out of you.
There are other stables in KS/MO you can check in to in the mean time and see how they pay and what the work is like there.
I think if you stick with it, you'll look past this as a huge hurdle you had to jump over and you'll appreciate the strength you had to get over the hurdle and move on. And seriously, appreciate that fear you had, and if you stick with it and become more comfortable with the work, don't let all the fear leave you. Sounds like a dangerous job, and the fear can keep you cautious and level-headed. I think you'll be great.
