As I sit in my office, I wonder what life would be like if I gave up the 'proper' job and ran a little livery yard instead, with a bit of teaching thrown in too? Maybe some horses to ride for owners...that sort of thing.
Has anyone out there done it? What was it like? Are you happier? And can you actually make a living from it?!
It's a bit of a quandry, isn't it. The well-paid office job funds the horses, but means you don't have much time with them. But working with horses (eg. running a livery yard) is not very lucrative, and do you actually end up with more time with your own horses?
Interesting to hear from people who bit the bullet and actually did it!
