Who Here Works With Horses....

[lucemoose]

.....But not in a groom, riding, YOing, farrier etcetc way? What other jobs are out there that have a link back to the equestrian industry?
Im nearly out of college so need a proper (eeek!) job, am just wondering what other areas are there..
Thank you!

What about something like equestrian insurance, admin at a vets, product sales or something along those lines?

 

[lucemoose]

Thats the kind of thing, like normal jobs that have ties back to horses! Wouldnt mind some personal experiences too, am panicking!

Feed companies are a good one to work for....excellent pay

 

[lucemoose]

but in what regards? are you thinking front of house? or in the factory ( lol at me let loose in dengie..) I thought about nutrition after school but didnt go down the chemistry route .
Theres a feed company nearby, I could always offer to make tea..

i work in a Feed Merchants, does that count?

i work for Ideal Saddle Company in the office - its great! So you could go along office job route for company that makes/sells equestrian gear?

What about working in equestrian retail shop? work way up to manager position....

Becoming saddle fitter, saddler, bridle maker??

Lecturing? thats what I intend to do, pays good too!! At the moment though I'm a freelance instructor and that pays well also!

I hire out horseboxes..

Sort of.......I make sashes, used to do rosettes too. Not a road to go down if you actually want any spare time, family life, or much money. You get to meet a weird and wonderful (Llwyncwn

) bunch of folk though. I also used to double up as Work Rider/Secretary at a racing yard.
Heaps of horse connected jobs out there, you just have to think laterally. Good Luck whatever you decide to do. AI etc is a booming trend

Doesn't someone on here do AI?

Im thinking so laterally im getting wider by the minute ! Thank you!
