If a 8 year old was a stable boy, it often meant his family had no money or importance of any kind. Most children that had such difficult jobs at such a young age were always kept busy. Stable boys would get up at the crack of dawn. They would eat breakfast (if they could afford it) and head out to work. Once at work, the child would feed the horse. Jobs that needed doing everyday were, feed the horse, clean the stall, clean the horse, and walk (or ride) the horse. Most likely stable boys worked for a family higher up on the social chain, which means the boy would have to get the horse's saddle prepared so the family could ride it. If the horse was meant for work and not pleasure, then the child would prepare the horse for hard labor. Stable boys would usually bring their lunch (once again if they could afford it) to work with them. They would eat only if the received time from the family they were working for. After lunch it was straight back to work.

How did the renaissance affect the role of women?

In the Renaissance times a Renaissance Woman was supposed to marry well, be loyal to her husband and give birth to boys. A Renaissance Man, on the other hand, had to be well-educated, have cultural grace, be a gentleman and understand the arts and sciences. He also had to have refinement, be of noble birth and have courage. Many women did not fit the mold of what they called a "Renaissance Woman." Many of them would fit in as more of a "Renaissance Man" or what we would call a "Renaissance Woman" in our day and age.
