I was a horse show professional before I was an adult biz person, and let me tell you - the horse show biz is even more fraught with shady deals, drugs, cheating, skimming, shaving, underage sex, you name it - than I have found in the adult biz. Aside from that though, through having my own horses from childhood, working for various farms, and in short learning about the industry inside and out, I learned a lot about responsibility, hard work, business, and money. Perhaps she will be satisfied with a pet pony in the backyard, but more likely than not she will eventually be drawn to the lure of the show circuit. Good luck! And ICQ me if you ever need some advice or support
