i am looking for a career with horses that pays a lot of money, but doesnt take up all my time so i have time to enjoy my farm. i heard boarding doesnt make a lot of money and to give lessons you have to have lesson horses. being a vet takes up a lot of time. i would like a career that only needs one or two horses and makes a lot of money. racing is cruel so that is not an option. are there any college classes that you can take for training horses? any ideas will help me a lot.

Directly put, no! Horses as a hobby or a profession are very time consuming, especially if you plan on doing it right. There is not really good easy way to make a lot of money with horses unless you start out with even more. To make a lot of money in this business you have to be one of the BEST at what you do, then people will pay you whatever you ask, but to get to that point you have to put in a LOT of work. And starting out under someone that is one of the best doesn't hurt matters none. There is not a career with horses where you start out making a lot of money for a little time. But there are plenty of careers with horses where you start out making a little money for a lot of time.
Horses= Time and Money. It's really inevitable to try and get into the horse business without much of the two.
i don't think so. maybe you could open your own vet clinic especially for horses. once it grows large enough, you will have enough employees so that you can easily take time off, and then retire at an early age while still owning the clinic. i don't really know. sorry
to be a lesson teacher isn't high- paying and you don't have to be certified or anything.
No, sorry, if you want to make $ with horses- you have to put in the time. Otherwise hire a trainer to do the horsework for you but that equals less time and more money... If you don't want to put in serious time or money- just keep horses as a hobby- not a career.
giving lessons. i think you have to be certified or something but it's a good paying job, and you can manage your own hours, (of course you'd have to have a horse, but if you already have one then it's totally worth it) good luck
If you loved horses at all you would want to spend time with them. well you can go place to place to train other people
You can show your horses in like a 4-h club show or you can rent your horses out for trail rides.God Luck!!
"are there any careers with horses that pays a lot of money but doesnt take up all your time? "
NO!
Let me know if you find one - or maybe you could sell the "secret" on Ebay.
Sorry, but working with horses is just that - working. In the cold, and in the dirt.
Maybe, if you are lucky you could start out as an instructor/ livery owner and in about 20 years be able to employ people to do the dirty work for you but the only way you are going to get there is to do it all yourself to start with.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
LOL...NO! Just get a good paying, non-horse job and keep the farm as your hobby. That way you can have a 9-5 or flex time job and still have plenty of time for your horses.
Oh, and racing is not cruel. There are plenty of unethical trainers/owners/riders in all aspects of the equine world, not just racing. If you want to be in the horse business, you have to be diplomatic and not stereotype other disciplines just because you may not like them...they may feel the same way about your chosen discipline. Just food for thought.
Pay a lot of money but don't take up much time? ah I don't think so. If you find one, let me know.
a horse masoos/therapist or chiropractor. they're excellent jobs (expecially the chiropractor) you should look into them! :)
No..plain and simple..Only needs one or two horses??And if you become a horse trainer you cant get by training one or two ..Trainers in my breed get an average of 600.00 a month per horse and they have to train/ride it usually 5 days a week but it still needs care the other 2 days,and that monthly fee also covers the horse's board (hay ,feed, stabling) If you dont treat the horse right in an effort to save money you wont have clients.If you cant train,,you wont have clients. Horses are not vechicles you can park in a garage on weekends and not take care of.They are living creatures that depend on us for their care..I think you might be better off just going to a stable to ride once a month to get your 'horse fix' The old saying about horses is "To make a small fortune in horses, start with a large fortune"
Invest in a good stallion. Take about one or two years to train, race, show, ride endurance, or something else that will make hie worth more money. Once he has made a lot of money and is worth a lot, use him for breeding. Semen goes for 750 to 3500 dollars, and even more with really valuable stallions with good bloodlines. The average stallion can produce enough semen to make 8000 dollars or more a day, you just need to sell it. By this you could make 1000 to 10000 dollars in a week, maybe even more.
I'm not sure if there's anything out there unless U plan 2 B a vet. Other stuff like caring 4 horses as a living I think may B a dead/dying thing, @ least in my area. most ppl care 4 their own animals on their own land. there's also a liability issue %26 ppl often don't want outsiders/strangers around their animals. In fact I have an aquaintance who won't let me around her ponies simp[ly because she doesn't know me, but a friend of hers w/ whom she went 2 school, she'd let ride her ponies. it's often a matter of knowing the owners. different ppl have their animals 4 different purposes, so be aware of that. 4 example, U have a better chance of helping a friend w/ chores on their farm than U would in having a chance in even getting close expensive champion thoroughbreds. Your best bet would B 2 just become a vet where U could care 4 a wide variety of animals.
There is not a single career you can find with horses that is going to make alot of money and not take up your time. Sorry, that's just the way it is. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
