Other Hobbies that Take Our Money
I got the horse bug at bout age 13. You know the story. Mom got me a job at the local grocery, after school and 13 hrs every sat. so I paid for all my gas and horse stuff. The first horse was broke sorta, and then I bought a 2 yr old colt and trained him,sold him and began the trip of learning, still learning just too old to hardly even climb on one. The horses go from a kid thing to a hobby sorta to a profession over a course of years. Not for the lazy. Not for the timid. It is hard to make money out of what most do as a hobby, no matter what.
There are rich people out there that spend $$ on their horse hobby like the rich guy doing the drag race thing. Expensive everything!!!!!!! Thing is those rich people need someone to train the horse, teach them, haul to shows so they an win the prize and build their self esteem and ego! They have to pay.
Expensive hobby/ hard way to make a living. But hard work, sunshine and horse sweat is good for you.
