hey everyone

im 16 and i've just left school but i have no idea what i want to do for a job, i am going back to sixth form to do A-levels but i dont what to do after.

I've always wanted to work with horses and the only thing holding me back is my parents, they want me to have a '''proper office job''', no offence to ne1 who works in an office but theres no way i could be stuck inside all day.

does ne1 have any advice about careers with horses, i was going to go to an agricultral college in septemberbut i have decided to do A-levels so i have something to fall back on if my chosen career doesnt work out.

A big one of problems is my parnets because theres lots of stuff they want to me to do that i dont wanna do and if i dont do it they threaten me my sayin that ill have to give up horses which i could never do, i know it probably sounds bad but in my life horses come before everything, i've had horses since i was 5 and once i had a 2yr break from them but i couldnt stand it any longer so i started riding again and then i got another horse last july.

Does ne1 have advice about which direction to go in, i've thought about equine physiotherapist or chiropracter but i odnt really have a clue what to do, i dont wnat to teach though.

sorry this thread is long and i could go on for ages more but i dont wanna bore u all(if i havnt already)

thanx for ne advice.:(
 
What about a veteranarian? You could specialise in animals of the equine persuasion. I don't know much about how schools work over there, but could you do it?:)
 
Animal psychology?
Farrier?
Physio therapy, have to do human first.
Chiropractic?
At least with some of the above you have a career to fall back on if you decide horses arn't for you.
 
Katie_85: There are six vet schools here and they take a total of 400 students a year between them. It is the most popular course in England but the most over-subscribed.
Elle - If you want to do vet stuff then go for it, it'll need loads of work experience and good results but if that's what you want then do it. What A-levels are you taking? That will help you decide. I'm starting mine next year too.
You could be in the mounted police or move to Canada and be a proper Mountie!
 
hi

i did think about the mounted police but just as iwas going to the police cadettes ther got rid at the horses in my district, staffordshire, u probably read about it, it was in most horsey magazines.

the A-levels im takin are PE, Biology, Business Studies and maybe chemistry

i have also thought about going into livery ownership but then u have to a job before that to get the money to buy a livery yard.

thanks for all the advice you have given me
 
Have you looked at degrees in Equine Science - your school/college should be able to advise you what colleges offer them - they are supposed to be geared to people who want to work in the 'horse industry' and if you decided full time horses weren't for you I think they aim to give you reasonably transferable skills as well (which should please your parents!).
