[Echohay@aol.com]

If you want to work with horses you probably won't get rich but the following 
is a list of possible jobs you can get with horses.  Some require more 
training that others and some you learn along the way.
1.  groom & or exercise rider for hunt club, racing stable, polo team, 
jumping stable...
2. farrier
3. jockey
4. vet
5. vet teck
6. circus horse trainer
7. stable manager
8. handicapped riding instructor
9. work on a stud farm
10. children's riding instructor
11. horse trainer
12. barn and stable cleaner
etc.
The easiest place to start is as a groom for a good stable or as an exercise 
rider.  Volunteer to help a good horse vet.  The more training you get the 
more you will be able to do.  Don't rule out college or university.  There 
are some colleges that specialize in training people to work with horses.  I 
know there is one in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, another in Ohio.  I am sure 
there are many more.  Check with your 
guidance counselor.  Good luck in your horse career.
