horsie careers...?

[akashapachamama]

I am desperate to quit my job and do something with horses. I have no horsie qualifications but have had my own for 10 years... I am 20 now and although lots of people say the pay is terrible and they wouldnt work with horses I want to go down this path and see for myself.
There seem like lots of different directions to go down- BHS, IH, Equine Therapist of some sort, Farrier/Trimmer, etc... but I have no idea where to start looking...!!?

First you need to decide what you want to do. Do you want to be a groom or an instructor? Or something else? You could try looking for a job on a yard to get you started (there will be lots of people looking for extra help at this time of year because lots of horse's will be coming in at nights for the winter soon and so they will need help with mucking out, etc.) This would get you started, and give you more time to think about what you want to aim to do.
