Barn notes from boarders: Part I of a series

Imagine you're being paid $8 to feed and water 24 horses. You'll have to hustle to do this in an hour, making the pay rate a reasonable $8/hour. Above the garbage cans of horse feed is a formidable wall of supplements. Each horse gets 1-2 supplements and a few get meds that have to be dosed with a syringe.

Now tell me...
Would you want to try to follow these instructions? On the positive side, it's nice that the note has a date, but it's not a stellar example of barn communication. It doesn' help that the pen is running out of ink, either! Here are a few tips...

The dying pen makes part of the note unreadable. Type the note up on a computer (preferred) or use a Sharpie fine point marker so that the whole note is readable.
How much oil per feeding?
Does the horse get oil in the p.m.? It's not clear to me.
