ive just started my training to be a personal fitness trainer, and instructor. before i worked up in scotland jumping horses full time .. but got fed up of the way i was treated .. soo i decide to taker another path of being self employed ..... BUT i still have my child hood dream of being a show jumper !! what i want to know is how many of u work and compete and at a high level ?? and how are you finding ?? is it easier this wayy??

I'm hardly "high level" but I do compete regularly. I find it really difficult cos I'm self employed in a service industry. Money is always tight and I'm basically at the whim of my customer base...even though I make my own schedule. I'd love to have saturdays as a day off, but that would reduce my client base far too much as that's an important day.

Ho hum.
