Horsewoman / Handywoman For Hire!
I'm an expert horsewoman (that's me in the picture above) and a professional handywoman/carpenter. Currently (Spring 2012), I'm looking for a position on a horse ranch. I would be happy to put both sets of skills to work -- taking care of horses, repairing or building structures. With my years of experience, I think I'll be an asset to any ranch.
