Im lost2007-11-24 21:17:38

Ok... well when i was nine or so... i began to ride. A year ago, is when I began to jump. I had a riding accident and became very nervous, but I still rode. I had a trainer and took lessons, so yes, i was riding a school horse, not my own horse. We couldn't, and still can't, afford a horse.

I was stuck riding this horse that i did not get along well. We just didn't mix. But i kept riding him. But things just weren't working out. So little by little, i didnt' ride as much. About a half a year ago, i stopped riding all together, I needed a Break. And now I've had my break. Now, I really want to go back. Because in the future, i'd like to become an equine vet. But now, i'm not sure anymore. I haven't been around horses in almost a full year.

So, my mom contacted a local ranch... well.. the only local ranch lol. The lessons are 65 bucks for an hour! And i'd at least have to go once a week. And we just can't afford it.So now i'm sorta lost.I really want to ride, i need to ride again,help

People answering this question have A LOT of really good advice. Thay all, however, have failed to bring up a very good point. The point is this. If you want to be an equine vet then going to that ranch and asking if you can work there in return for lessons will also give you the added bonus of learning about horses.

You will probably start with simple stuff like cleaning stalls and maybe grooming but if you are smart and a hard worker you just might get yourself into a position to where you start helping to handle difficult horses, help with sick and injured horses, even foaling!
