I lived my dream of doing something with horses. After college my husband and I started our own business with horses. I trained, taught people to ride, boarded, bred, showed. You name it and I probably did it. In my 40s I realized I needed a new profession before I got crippled by an accident. Went back to college and became a therapist.

lizardlady I like how you were able to keep the dream of horses and helping others in some way. Congrats on becoming a therapist! I hope you weren't injured prior to that, however; I didn't know if you meant that you were crippled or stated that sentence as a precautionary reason why you needed to change professions from equine to therapy.
