Does anybody give their barn owner/trainer/barn staff etc. a little "thank you" over the holidays? What about your horse and riding buddies, do you give them a little treat?
When I used to work as barn staff, some of the owners would muck their own stalls while they were on holidays and would bring me a warm drink (coffee or tea) to sip on while we chatted, it was a nice treat! Even a simple thank you note was really appriciated
