it wasn't tough at the time, after 8 years of working 7 days a week, but now that a year and change has gone by i'm missing it like crazy. not necessarily wanting to go back to working those crazy hours, but need to find my "niche" in the industry...just not sure how to do it.

luckily i still have access to the horses...the barn i used to manage is 10 mins from my house and i can go riding anytime..it's just hard to go from living and breathing horses to working in an office 9-5. :-/ trying to figure out where to go from here.

hope you guys don't mind me hanging around!

Hello, Ryan... Jonathan here....

I hope you find a way to balance everything in your life. It seems to me that working with horses is an all-or-nothing proposition. I've never seen people who work harder.

Please continue to let us know how you are doing. It's always a pleasure to cheer on, or congratulate, the good people we've met along the way.

Hi Jonathan! I was hoping you would chime in! Thanks so much. It is definitely an all-or-nothing proposition. It requires 100% dedication, and with some health problems, student loan debt and a few other things hanging over my head I felt it was time to explore some other options, career-wise.

I guess we will see where this crazy Life Train takes me!
