Social Network for Riders, Horses, and Ponies

I'll show you.

I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem. But, I want to be a horse trainer. My parents call themselves supportive of my horse obsession. And they gave in after realizing I wasn't growing out of it. I have gotten seriously into it, and they have provided me with everything I could ever ask for. I thank them for that. And now, before you call me unthankful, like many people have. I would like to know if their so god darn supportive than why in the heck everytime I say, ' I'm going to be a horse trainer. ' The automatic reaction is, ' No you're not. ' And it frustrates me that they say that. I understand that you have to be a big shot to make tons of money. But this is something that I want to do with my life. Be a proffessinal barrel racer, and train western horses.

I mean, I know they want the best for me but sometimes I just feel like telling them. Sorry - its my life.
Ugh I don't even know anymore.. I confuse myself with it.
