I am 18m and about to graduate highschool and am enrolled in the south dakota state university. I live on my families farm and am planning to come back and run it after a couple years. I have always had horses and liked to ride and do things with them. But I have had this urge for the last year to pursue my dream of becoming a true “cowboy” and my dream to become a horse trainer. My family does kind of know about this but they haven’t really supported it. I recently have been reaching out to Ranch’s across the country looking for a solid job, and I finally found one in South Eastern Colorado that would take a chance on me. It’s a real opportunity that would give me real life experience in the field I want to thrive in. I know I am an 18 year old but if I do this without my families permission I could jeopardize my future on the farm. Any advice?
