Shit shovellers

· 190 words · 1 minute read

If you are going to let a bunch of horses run around on a field, there are going to be consequences, two of which are shit and divots.

After every chukka a squad of ladies fans out to flattens the divots and scoop up the shit. Some degree of training is required for this task, because if you mix things up and flatten the shit and scoop up the divots, this would be detrimental to the quality of the grass.

Doesn’t sound like much fun, but the ladies are a happy bunch.

Maybe sitting in the sunshine in the countryside and taking a walk across a field every fifteen minutes is not a bad way to earn a few extra baht. I wonder if they have any vacancies?

I can’t see any shovels! Anyhow, surely these days you don’t have simple shit shovellers. They should have a proper job title;- e.g., Equine Excrement Removal Operative.

Sorry for the belated comment, but am in Pattaya, where Pattaya People TV must qualify for a reverse Carlsberg award; i.e. “Probably the worst TV station in the world!”
