Do Your Education and Career Plans Include Horses?

Some of my young friends are studying at home through courses like The Equine Science Certificate while others are off to learn how to be vet techs, and veterinarians. Some are even taking their horses with them!

All of your questions are slanted towards the people who do intend to follow a career of some sort within the horse industry… or those who would like to. However, I’m sure that there are plenty of people who simply enjoy learning or seeing what has changed.
