“I want to be a horse trainer! It must be so much fun!”
I couldn’t even put a number on how many times I’ve been asked this innocent question over the years and it’s so hard to answer!
Yes, there are incredible highs when you watch a client succeed, win on one you started, or take on a new horse that could change the course of your career. But the other side is this right here, scrubbing water buckets at 10:30 at night because you know you’ll be short on time the next few days. It’s early mornings and late nights to avoid the intense heat. Long hours with one not acting quite right and late night conversations about changing bridles on another to get them dialed in.
The thing is, horse trainers never really rest. We LOVE what we do! It is all consuming and while we cherish the highs, we know the lows are just part of creating a better horse. We live and breathe this life and wouldn’t have it any other way! Training isn’t something you can half commit to; it’s a way of life.
When you invest in a small program, you’re investing in people that care just as much about your horse as you do. You’re investing in people that don’t see your horse as a number, but an individual; we have conversations about each horse every day! We have intentionally kept our program small to keep that mindset in the forefront and we thank each and every client that keeps the dream alive!
So if you want to be a trainer, ask yourself, “Do I want to live and breathe this? Every high and every low? Is it worth it to me?” If your answer is yes, feel free to reach out! We love helping the next generation of horsemen and women!
