Welcome to Vocation 100 – an experiment regarding a horse career. The idea of this page was to list at least 100 different jobs/disciplines that focus around horses and the posts available on this blog about each of these possibilities. There are currently 172 vocation possibilities listed!
Posts may include interviews with known people in that particular field, links to associations, explanations on particular disciplines, etc. A horse career can be varied, so different options are explored and provided for those seeking a job with horses.
Do you want a horse career? If you love horses and want to work with them but don’t know what to do specifically, I hope this site will open your eyes to the possibilities and even help you find a course to become qualified or get the insight to be able to find a place to work.
Want to be kept in the loop about future posts?
