[cluelessmolly]

I would love to work with horses and am really only considering being a teacher for the money/holidays :o but i currently have two and i have 2 be able to keep them . . i havent done science at A level and dont want to be a groom/stable hand etc .. i was considering a saddle fitter? does anyone know what the pay is like?

i'm kind of in the same position as you! I've always wanted to work with horses but as we all know the money isn't in it! So teaching became an option, good money and GREAT holidays. Plus its a good job and you will get so much enjoyment out of watching kids progress.

I'm in my last year of uni and taking a year out before i do my teacher training.....all the courses were full so i kind of had to take this option. However after studying most of my life, i don't really know if teaching is for me. Basically its the thought of another years 'studying' etc


Two of my Primary School teachers keep horses and compete all over the country in the holidays so it can be done! :D
