The reason we're interested in this kind of employment, and the reason we are applying as a team, is that we plan to one day build and operate a boarding and training facility of our own. Working at your facility would give us both valuable experience in the operation and management of a large equine facility.

Why? What concern does it bring up?
I got the feeling from talking to the secretary that what they really want are grooms, not stall cleaners, though she did also mention fencing. They want someone that can take the horse from the stall and groom him to be worked, and when done, take him from the trainer/exercise rider, bathe and walk them to cool them out and put them away. They want people that can handle the horse, they have other barn workers (probably illegals, lol) that clean stalls.
I think there's interesting work and pretty good money in being a racetrack groom.
