Advice wanted to become a producer

[Cam Eq]

“I’m looking for some advice please. I am an 18 year old finishing school next year. I want to become a producer of show/dressage horses. I currently compete Connemaras in showing and have lots of experience breaking and riding young horses and stallions. I would really like to move into warmbloods now though and focus more on dressage. My question is what steps should I take now to start my career? I have some connemaras that I could sell to buy a young horse. I was thinking that I could find a working student position on a dressage yard and train there with my own young horse. Any advice is welcome. Thank you”

What you have said is probably the best way. Start riding under someone and bound your knowledge and experience

I would suggest you don't buy a young horse until you have found a working student position and settled in for a couple of months. Best to sell the ponies now and put the money in a savings account until you are secure I a job, you may find you have so much opportunity to train horses in the course of your work you don't have the time/energy for your own.
