But if you really want to know what the worlds worst job is, let me take you into the dark underbelly of what goes on in the world of Horse breeding…..
People who Cover (put in Foal) a lot of Mare’s as a commercial venture usually have a little Pony Stallion, whose sole purpose is to help ascertain if the Mare is receptive/in season or not, this might have to be done several times a day for each Mare, and is time consuming and dangerous to use the big Stallion whose Gene’s you intend to pass on, as bringing a big full blooded and up for it Stallion and a not interested Mare together is a recipe for disaster and probable injury, including to people, (and lead’s to more then a bad review)
I have a small little gullible Stallion pony for this purpose. You have to picture this poor fecker trotting out every day with a scrappy do, put em’ up, put em’ up attitude when only one of two thing’s are going to happen, either she was on, in which case he got wheeled away and the big gun’s were brought in, or she was not, and he got a kick in the nut’s for his trouble, he’d fall for it every day and would march out every time as if it was his first day on the job and eager to impress. It must count as one of the worst jobs of all time, although occasionally he would get his oat’s, as someone would want a foal that would not grow very big.
I have a huge Stallion at the moment that is permanently up for it, to such a degree that I have to keep him at least two fields away from the nearest Mare and have so much fencing in place you could do a realistic remake of the great escape. But what’s priceless to watch is that he has learned to associate any Horsebox as being say an “Outcall’’ arriving and all you have to do is bang the door of an empty Horsebox and his head instantly appears over the hedge. (From 200 meters and 2 fields away). It just occurred to me that I suppose I’m kind of an Equine Pimp but paradoxically for the Female’s not the Male’s, and I try to run a reputable Agency.
