What horse career would you take or is there anyway i could do all...?

Question

equine vet horse trainer horse stable owner or manager i i put this in horse because it is about horses

Answer 1

personally, i would not go for barn owner/manager. Its a rough business, and sometimes, money winds up coming before the horses themselves. Obviously, you would never let that happen on purpose, but sometimes it just does. Thats business for ya. Trainers don't make a lot of money, but in my opinion its worth it as long as you can keep your head above the water. You might have a better chance of getting a job as a large animal vet once you graduate college over the others, but it all depends on your experience/education/where you live. You have plenty of time to explore your options and decide whats best for you.

Answer 2

my equine vet has a family stable where they board horses for other people.. and i think his wife or someone in their family trains..

you could be an equine vet &&have a barn.. then train your own horses, but i dont think you could efficiently fit in training other's horses in a reasonable time if you also want to be a vet. but a vet job is more hard-set than trainer since trainers dont have steady money-flow.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

First, do you have any experience at all with horses?

A Vet will be on call 24/7.  You won't have anytime to have your own horses because you'll be taking care of everyone elses'.

A horse trainer needs to be educated by a top trainer.  You've got to have some riding experience with horses.  Not knowing where you are in the world, I can only suggest top trainers here in the USA.  Google names of Clinton Anderson, Pat Parrelli, Ray Hunt, John Lyons.  These are some of the top trainers.  You need to determine what kind of horses and riding disciples you want to train for.

A Stable owner has to own the land where the horses are going to be kept.  They can do all the work or hire a stable manager to do it.

A good school to consider for learning to be a good stable owner or manager is Meredith Manor in West Virginia, USA.  Google it.

You need to educate yourself by reading books on the subjects and researching online.  You should be getting riding lessons from a local professional instructor as well.

Answer 6

Horse career, Large Animal Vet  

and rescuing Race Horses, once their racing career is over....

Answer 7

your right life is short, so go get a great paying job. . . like hey a nurse gets great pay, picks their own hours (heck if you wanted you'd only have to work 3 days a week and the other 4 days you have free to do any horse thing you want)

you only have to go to school for 2 years (as opposted to 8+) and while your a nurse making good money and having more freedom, you could go back to school for equine management to learn how to be a better person/more marketable in the equine industry.

In my home town, outta nursing school students get paid starting close to if not more then 30 dollars an hour. plus go to any hospital and they'll pay for ALL of your schooling.

so no loans to pay back, no debt. . . and with all the money your saving, you can put that towards an equine major once your outta nursing school and be ahead of the game.

so yes, life is too short, so plan wisely and make choices that you can live with.

cause you have to have money to make money, and horses take alot of money.

oh and if you want more insentive to be a nurse (or any other medical field but mainly nursing is the best, according to me) they have traveling nurses.... where not only do they pay you (i think it starts out 30 bucks an hour) but they pay for your car, for your travel, for your house/apparment where they send you, you can pick what cities and states you want to work in (yes even hawaii and alaska) you can travel for 2-4 years and have more then enough to not only buy a horse, but buy a farm to go with the horse and basically do whatever your little heart desires.plus get to see alittle bit of the world (states) and maybe find a place you'd want to live.

anyway, i'm off my soap box.

Answer 8

You couldn't do all but if you were to be a stable owner you would probably be doing the basic training and veterinary practise so if you want a general all rounder career that would be the logical one. It would however be a high risk business venture to set up.

Answer 9

Well i'm 16 and only have one and a bit years of school left, although i am planning to leave at the end of this year. I do physics, chemistry, biology, english, algebra and was doing extended algebra (quit to do equine behaviour course through long distance) I could be a doctor or whatever i wanted but i love horses way to much. When i leave school i want to go work in racing stables and work my way up to Stable Manager or be a Racing Manager for a big stud or stable, because i love racing but i love the breeding side of things so yeah, i would like to do a bit of both.

But just remember you are lucky that you know that you want to work with horses, makes things a little easier, but just keep the doors open by doing the best in school etc, cause you never know what could happen.
