Mucking out a stall seems like good money when you are young and have a good back but when you get older you, well, get older. My wife's dad worked as a welder for 30+ years and he can hardly get out of his chair now because of his bad knees, bad back, and bad shoulder. It pays to save yourself and your joints a bit.
