Twenty. UC Davis second year, Animal Science & Management. Atheist. Pansexual (?). Taken. Fiercely loyal and independent. My primary concerns are school and food.
Also love cooking, sexy makeup, crazy bastards, cold weather, hot coffee, the Victorian age, colorful tattoos, Morgan horses, Art Deco, Sherlock Holmes, Hunter S. Thompson, Orson Scott Card, good grammar, bad language, DIY shit and blunt people.
Reblogging pretty things and whatever strikes my fancy.
But….an equine science degree really does not guarantee you a job as a well paid trainer.
It seems the majority of trainers have business degrees…or no college degree at all.
You’d be better off to go to school for a real career, so you have a fall back plan when you don’t make it as a trainer….
THIS.
so many people think they’ll “make it” in the training world because they went to college for horses… that’s not how it works. if you want to run your own training barn, get a damn business degree, and minor in equine science so you can get the knowledge to run the thing.
just because you went to college, doesn’t mean you’ll be any good. get a degree in something useful so you can actually make money. learn how to train from actual experience.
Or do a combination of the two. I’m not sure what other schools offer, but UC Davis has an Animal Science and Management program, which is what I’m majoring in, and it’s a great mix of the two fields.

I’ve showed against trainers and won… I’ve shown against 30, 40, 50 year olds and kicked ass…
But the little 13 and 14 year olds scare me shitless
And this is coming from someone who’s been riding horses longer than they’ve been alive
In all my life, I don’t think I’ve ever referred to a horse as a ‘fucking cow’ more times than I did today
Mares are fucking bitches
Why do you think I’ve only worked with geldings & studs for the past 3 years
You can’t get on a mare’s good side… THEY DON’T HAVE A GOOD SIDE

I’m very proud of this little guy, how far he’s come, and how well we work together. :)
