Get a job in a stable before you commit to a career, it's not as romantic as it seems and there are no days off.

I love horses too, and I have all my life, but it's a 24/7 365 day a year job.

That's great. I am the proud owner of three horses, my husband got me into them when I was young. It takes many years to become a horse trainer, usually you'd need your own horses to work with, then volunteer for more experience and to prove yourself before you can do it for money. The ability to train horses is a gift developed over many years. Stable keeping is hard work, but rewarding... there are many "work to ride" programs that will let you work in the stable to pay for riding lessons/time. I'm sure many local farmers will pay you cash to work for them, but your parents will have to sign something to ensure no liability if you get hurt. I worked for a vet while in high school which was wonderful, I got paid and got experience with horses! Good luck!

Kathi is right, horses are awesome, but make sure that you know what you are getting into, you always have to take care of the horses first, their are no days off, most of the time even on birthdays and winter holidays.
