brill! thankyou!

No worries

So what do you fancy? I would recommend having a look at the agricultural/equine colleges as could get an idea of courses you could do and stuff.

Silly me did a HR degree and don't really want to do HR now. Pays for horses though

ahh, Im not sure really;
I'd like to go down physio/chiro, or feeding. I presume they are the better paid of the horsey jobs?

 

[Peacelily]

physio is getting swamped to get into - so might be difficult. As for better paid - depends as most tend to work for themselves so income isn't determined/guaranteed (not that any income is nowadays! but you know what I mean!). And also - i'd recommend doing it the human way and converting into equine phsyio - if you do "equine" you'll still have to do something else to become a physio...

as for other jobs...
lecturer
surveyors specialising in equine property
like draytonsbarney said - event management
equine lawyer (also more of those popping up)...

my brains given up now
