Answer 1

a saturday job isn't gonna pay for your horse... I'm working a job i hate for my horse... being 18 I have to pay for him myself. I work full time and barely get enough to keep him. I'm getting a new job on the competition yard where i keep my horse which should allow me to keep him rent free. but i still have to pay for everything else i.e. farrier, insurance, food, dentist etc. with no qualifications your not gonna get anywhere... i took a year to find a job on a yard and then it had to be voluntary while i tried to get a qualification. then I moved away and worked for very poor money... £60 a week... less than minimum wage, they charged £30 rent so i only had £30 for food a week. and i was working 5/7 days. I worked on another yard for £15 a weekend.... less than minimum wage. and another yard voluntary... there is no money in horses unless you can spend money getting your stages, and then it's still not much.

As a responce... I only got that much for working 2 days over the weekends and because I had a NVQ. with no qualifications they are not likely to employ you with unless its volentary.
