I’m a female wrangler – it’s been my dream since I was a child, people ask if they can come work with me
A HORSE-OBSESSED young woman has proven that dreams really can become a reality.
TikToker Abi Parry’s (@abiparry0) post has fed the fantasies of many of her followers.
So far her video of life as a female wrangler has gotten over 104,000 likes.
Abi knows what she’s doing is pretty special: “My childhood dream,” she says in her post.
A wrangler is in charge of horses or livestock on a ranch, but on this farm, Abi is part of a team.
Knowing it was something she desperately wanted to do, she sent her CV off to a number of ranches in Canada and struck lucky.
She was offered a position on a ranch in the stunning wilderness of British Colombia.
Her TikTok is a love letter to her life as a wrangler.
There’s no doubt it is hard work, and slackers would not last long there.
Abi, however, loves every single minute, even the early starts and late nights.
The bonus is being around beautiful horses and the chance to go out trail riding twice a day.
It really is the stuff of dreams, and she is living it.
Bleary-eyed, her video starts at 6:00am. “Wake up and get ready for work,” she starts her post.
Dressed in regulation cowboy boots and denim blue jeans, Abi heads out ready for a day’s work.
The sun is barely over the horizon, but she is already in the yard, feeding the horses.
There’s a lot to do before they start to tack the horses.
But by 9:15am she is rewarded and saddles up: “Mount up and trail ride,” she says.
Her whole routine is repeated again after a midday rest and finally to bed at 10:00pm.
It’s a country life and she is loving every minute of it.
Commenters were wowed with her life on the ranch, with a lot of envy too.
“As someone who’s worked on a ranch can confirm. It’s hard work but so enjoyable if you really love what you do,” said one fan.
Others wished they had the same opportunity: “This has been my dream my whole life to do this.”
While another said: “It’s tough watching someone live your dream.”
One follower was very tempted: “This close to packing it all in and moving to Canada to live on a ranch.”
Finally and poignantly, another viewer said: “I would trade everything I have to live that life.”
