__Written on: Wednesday, October 19, 2011__ Every Wednesday a group of Crefeld students and I drive down to Northwestern Stables for our animal care community service. I signed up for animal care because I love animals and because I rode horses at Northwestern Stables for about two years when I was younger. I really like being back at the stables and helping with the horses. We have groomed horses, cleaned out paddocks, cleaned tack (saddles and bridles), and feed horses. I really liked grooming and feeding the horses and cleaning tack. To feed the horses we push a cart filled with their feed. When this happens the horses get extremely excited because they can hear the feed cart moving towards them. When we clean tack we clean it with special soap and a little bit of water. One day there wasn't anything to do when we were finished grooming and feeding the horses so we went for a walk. I have a great time at community service and I decided to start riding there again so that I can take care of the horses I ride.
