[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, first of all, raising and breeding horses is not something you can just pick up quickly as an adult, with no training or connections or knowledge.  Breeding/bloodlines is both an art and a science.  It takes years to understand well.

Also, you can't pick up riding as an adult and ever expect to be excellent at it.

I grew up on a horse farm.  I have never seen an adult "take up" riding and progress to a competitive, professional level.  I have never seen an adult with no experience working with horses (I don't just mean cleaning stalls at someone's stable as a child) ever arrive at a competent professional working knowledge that would enable them to run an equine facility themselves.

So the first step is riding lessons now, with an excellent trainer at a competent commercial stable.

A teen with no long-time training in equestrian sports and the breeding/show world saying she is going to "own a horse ranch" for an adult career is the equivalent of a teen who has had a handful of ballet classes and gone to see Nutcracker every year saying she is going to be a professional prima ballerina someday.
