How can I earn enough money to pay for a horse?
I am almost 14 and I have wanted a horse for as long as I can remember. I started taking riding lessons when I was 6 and have been riding ever since. I am experienced in bareback, western, and I am currently competing in hunter/jumper over fences. I have been riding lesson horses forever but I have grown out of my latest mount and am running out of horses to ride at my stable. I have either grown out of them or aren't allowed to ride them anymore (getting flung off twice in one month). My parents want me to have a horse but they can't afford it. I know all the expenses and responsibilities involved in owning a horse and I have done my research.
My family lives in the city so we don't have space for a horse but I am planning on keeping the horse at my riding stable. The cost of full board there is $485. I currently make $80 per month from babysitting but I am going to be babysitting for more families in a month or so which will make my monthly income about $200. I am also planning on working at my stable to get a discount on boarding.
