I need a new direction in my life, something challenging but rewarding.
I currently work in an office as a supervisor to a team of engineers and whilst Im good at what I do its totally draining me and I feel no reward/gain, and by that I mean I dont feel like Im doing something worthwhile / making a real difference. I have no plan to leave this job at present but would like to look at the possibility of one day having a career in the equine industry. I know its tough out there, the hours are long and the money not so high, but I would much rather have the feeling of job satisfaction that Ive made a positive difference to an equine/human life. Im happy to start at the bottom to learn a new skill and I would happily go on courses / train in my spare time. I understand this may mean it will take some time to get where I want to but its the only feasible way Im going to be able to do it.
So first things first I was wondering if you lovely people would help me look at the options out there, Ive put together a few basics, please help add to this list:
Groom / Rider
Instructor BHS, Classical, EE etc
Saddle fitter
Equine nutrition
Equine dentistry
Equine therapy there are loads that would come under this category, so please feel free to list, such as Bowen, McTimoney, Sports massage etc
Any recommendations on courses, any of your experiences, advice etc greatly appreciated.
