Answers:

A great way to sample the horse business and get a real idea of what working with horses would take is to be a Working Student. As a working student you learn about all aspects of working with horses... From running a business and helping designing stallion packages to mucking stalls to learning how to train a baby to lead! Often times you get a place to stay on the farm, riding lessons, horses to ride, and a little money to take care of your expenses.

As for ideas there's the usual: horse trainer, breeder, Vet, farrier, riding coach. But think outside the box if those ideas don't strike your fancy! There are horse insurance agents, web designers, saddle makers, and various research careers in creating supplements, food, or improving on other various products for the sport. One could be a fashion designer and design various riding apparel! Lots of different things, and there are lots of horse people willing to spend the $$$ on your ideas!
