Yeah, your questions ARE good. What you do as a career really won't stop you unless you let it stop you. I was a career Marine. I served all over the globe AND I've always had horses. It's more about how badly you want them and what sacrifices you are willing to make to have what you want. And when it is REALLY what you want, they don't even feel like sacrifices. You just always find a way. I did make some conscious choices, though. There were times when I took lesser posts because it was better for the horses or there were important show circuits available at one post but not another. I lived on base a bunch because it was cheaper, even tho the housing was lousy. I figured I was never home, so what difference did it make, y'know? I didn't party or hang out much because I always needed that money for my next show.
The thing to remember is that we really cannot have it all. We have to pick and choose. Horses are what I chose. I never regretted my choice.
