Well I could be flippant and say at least they don't have to spend R500 per month on gym contracts, but I really feel for these guys.

Just recently I read a post from a horsewoman who had a lunge arena built in a day from material on their own farm, that their groom had creatively put together to give her and her loved animal hours of FREE and SAFE fun. He did this without her asking and because she had mentioned that the horse was bolshy and needed more exercise, but that she could not at that point afford the quote the builders had given. (thousands)

She paid him R50-00 bonus for the day. I was disgusted. She spent more than this at the coffee shop having tea and cake and bragging to her friends about the lunge arena. Manual labour is back breaking work and with or without education, for the end result it produces (adds thousands in value to your property?) the human beings who do it, deserve more.

Apologies if this comes across as harsh but gets up my nose exactly the same way as the corporates and retailers do when they rip us off!! *gets off soap box now and skulks away*
