It seems like there are a couple of equine science programs in Missouri, including William Woods U.

Ever hear about how these wind up from people? Is there a strong enough demand in the industry to warrant someone doing this if they love it that much?

Honestly, I'm trying to have a serious discussion about this career, so if you could all stop trying to stirrup a bunch of trouble, I'd appreciate it.

You'll probably end your career working in a glue factory.

I'm sure there are horse careers like training and farm management that would benefit from a degree in Equine Science. I'm really skeptical that it's enough of a demand for someone to want to get a degree in it, unless there were some really tremendous extenuating circumstances.

But basically, I guess this is it, a lot. It also seems like many classes consist of learning how to perfect your riding technique.

As long as you are there you should check to see if they offer a degree in pottery.

Perhaps major in Equine science, minor in pottery. You could be the world's greatest trough maker.

Which degree would you need to get to become a horse 'pimp'? Seems to be an increasingly popular occupation.

I know someone who does this. I teach his son. The rich dide's family does horseshows all over the country. The trainers job is to drive the horses across country, take care of them, and get them ready for rich dude's daughters to fly in and compete. One of rich dide's daughters is also a student of mine.

Some of the courses of the equine program feature guest lectures by Colt McCoy and Colt Griffin.

I'm sure there's valuable animal husbandry classes you could take if you want to get into that field.
I lived on a horse ranch as a kid, and our income was from stabling horses, we sold some tack and did some training. And breeding, buying and selling. I think animal husbandry classes could probably teach updated techniques on some of the breeding and care stuff.
But kind of like you said, you have to really love it. I think of all the mornings I got up to feed and water, and all the stalls I cleaned, hay I threw, etc. And my brother and I were basically free labor.

My parents let me get horses in 7th grade. We stabled them in a pasture next door. The barn was about 1/2 mile away.

I think I learned a lot of life lessons over the two years I had horses. In the winter, I had to get up every day and go feed the horses before school, in the cold and dark. I'd ride my 4-wheeler to the barn every day, freezing my little balls off.

I'm not even sure that the horses had to be fed every morning, but my parents made me do it to teach me about life. That's how they rolled.

Yep. Almost identical to what I did.
