Answer #2

I did just what editor suggested…When I was about 13 I went to a stable and “voluteered” to muck stalls…It was a great experience, and I learned sooo much!!

Answer #3

You can get a low-paying job cleaning up stables. It is a crappy job (no pun intended lol) but I’m sure after you clean you could spend some time grooming and riding. AND you wouldn’t pay…you’d get paid. Sounds good to me.

Answer #4

Check the phone book and ask around, there may be a horse rescue / adoption near you - some places you can ‘adopt’ the horse - that is get assigned to take care of that particular horse, not own…I wish you the very best !!

Answer #5

join a horse and pony club or do some work

Answer #6

Ditto the above. It is the best and only way to learn and get what you want.
