Isn't that the truth. One of my major dreams in life I am terrified to do, and have totally regreted not pushing forth to capture it. I have always wanted to be a horse trainer, when I was younger I wanted to train show jumpers, but then as a teenager I learned more about the racing world and was totally hooked. I really don't know why I could never get up the nerve to take the trainers test, I have successfully trained (under the radar) many winning horses. I have rehabed tons of old sore horses and got them back to winning form. Everyone on the backside knows what I can do, and I have earned some respect, but hesitation is still there. At this point I have been away from the track for a year and am even more stand offish about going back. I truly love racing and really need to get back there, but one problem is that nobody is hiring. This recession has got everyone cutting back, the purses are low and owners aren't sending out as many horses to train, at this point they are not even breeding their mares. The industry in Maryland is dying and dying quick. Even though we finally got slots, its too late, and things wont recover for several years. Just not sure what to do...I want to move....
I have given it some thought and would love to move to New Mexico or Arizona, maybe Nevada. But then again Washington and Oregon are nice also. Basically I kinda just want to get out of Maryland, there is really nothing here for me to do. My family is here, but I really only see them once a month at the most anyway. I guess we need to give it some more thought and if we find a good job out there, we will probably move.
