Question

sooo i dont really know how to word this, but i will try my best! 
i have been riding at my recent barn for a year with my current trainer. she is the best trainer and all the horses there are amazing! in the summer and over the holidays i always go up there and help her with the daily chores and stuff. and i take lessons usually everyother week, sometimes once a week. i have been offered a job at a different barn for in the summer and on the weekends during the school year. would it be rude to take the job? i would still be taking lessons with my trainer and helping her. also, my mom and i have been talking about me getting a horse, but its too expensive where i ride so we found somewhere else a little bit cheaper. would that be a bad idea too? i really want to make it somewhere in the horse world when i get older. pretty much just owning my own barn with lessons, training, ect. and i feel like my trainer could help me get there. and so i want to get as much experience as possible. im only 16 by the way. just give your honest opinion! if you have any questions just ask! thanks in advance (:

If you think that this is a good opportunity and will help you get to where you want to go then take it. It is not rude and I'm sure your trainer will understand. Talk to her and let her know that you are still riding with her and you just can't afford it without the barn at the other job. I'm sure she will understand and I'm sure she won't care. Good luck.

Definitely keep with the lessons if you like your coach a good coach is hard to come by.

 I would suggest leasing or co-boarding a horse at your instructors place to get more experience, but also taking the job (two reasons, gain experience else where, and make some real money working with horses nothing beats that!). Lease or co-board is a lot cheaper (no emergency bills is a huge plus!) and you might luck out if you find the right horse even be able to purchase it in the future.

No there is nothing rude in your decision.  If your current trainer doesn't approve of you going above and beyond to improve your horsemanship to improve your chances of a future career in the horse world, then the problem is the trainers and not yours.
