Thank you @cnp55 it’s nice to hear from someone with personal experience in riding and training. I think it’s too late for me to ride professionally, but I would love to work with a Thoroughbred breeding farm or do something along those lines. I don’t know of any nearby, but I’ll ask around.

I think what I need to do is shadow some equestrian vets and get some firsthand experience on what that’s really like. Right now I think I have a skewed perception of the field as I’m only going on a bad small animal vet experience and the say of some random large animal vets I don’t even know. I’ll also talk with Rhode’s equestrian team and see if I can’t join, or just take lessons on my own to get back into it and gain more experience. Academic-wise, I might add a business management minor or something similar just to gain some business knowledge should I decide to go completely off the medicine path. I think if nothing else, going into medicine and playing around with horses once I retire is always an option. We shall see. Thank you to everyone who took the time to offer their input and advice. It was very helpful and I appreciate ya’ll so much
