Collins has a great connection with the 500 horses at the farm. The horses are usually frightened by new people that come near them, but when Collins or Vogt come by, they come right up to them because they know that they are safe. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

At 7:45 A.M. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, Collins starts her work on the farm. She hops in her pickup truck and drives to each of the separate farms, making sure that all of the horses are accounted for, fed, and have clean grass. Here Collins is picking up and transporting dead grass so that the horses have grass to surround themselves with. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

Collins says that even though they can not cook a lot of foods in their dorm, they still try and get creative. She said they make buffalo chicken dip on Tostitos chips often and they love it. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

While the filters for the horse waterers operate automatically, Collins still makes sure to check everyday that the filters and drains are working to make sure that the horses are only drinking clean and fresh water. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

Vogt wants to ensure that there are not huge tree branches on the ground where the horses roam so that they do not trip or hurt themselves. Each day she makes sure that there aren't any large branches that can possibly injure or disturb the horses. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

Vogt sprinkles hay down on the floor of the stable to ensure that the horses are comfortable. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

Vogt is a Penn State student studying in the College of Agricultural Sciences. Since their shifts on the farm are either early in the morning or mid-afternoon, most of their school work gets done in the evening. Vogt said she talks to her advisor each semester to ensure that she gets night classes so that she can balance school and work. In their minds, the farm and their farm work is a top priority because that is where they want to get a job. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

Collins and Vogt are extremely passionate about horses and working on farms. Their collection of cowboy boots is slowly growing. Every morning, they look at their boots and think of the days when they will be participating in horse riding competitions. / Photo by Cassidy Levine

A typical meal for Vogt and Collins is Ramen noodles. ''It's quick and easy, and we usually buy it in bulk and just throw it in the microwave. It gets the job done.'' / Photo by Cassidy Levine
