IF you already knwo how to do the work, i would start by putting up fliers in the local feedstores.  it is not a way to get rich quick, but it is a foot in the door and a way to build a reputationl.  Another option is to find someone who does this work and see if you cna be a "working student"- you may not get paid but you will be able to learn the trade alongside a professional; i knowa lot of farriers who have learned this way

Some colleges or universities that have dental schools offer free or reduced-cost dental care, if you are willing to let the senior students, who haven't graduated, do the work (under the supervision of the instructors, of course!)\n\nYou could also check with your local Department of Human Services ("Welfare") to see if you or your family qualify for any assistance.\n\nContact local churches (Catholic Charities, for example) to see if they have any aid available.\n\nCall The United Way in your area. They may have some leads for you.\n\nHope this helps!

You need to do a qualifying program.  Here is the website for the one at Western Ontario: http://www.schulich.uwo.ca/Dentistry/QualifyingProgram/

A dental college.  You will be worked on by a student, but the work is free.  I don't know where one is near you though.

You could continue with your education to become a vet or work in medicine, you could probably swing a job at a pharmacy, or you could be a zookeeper or you could do research, that is, if you continued with your education. You could also teach middle and secondary school.

call your local Community College, or the high-school guidance office. Either of them will be able to assist you.  \n\nGood luck.....I got my GED 20 years ago, went on to Community College, and then went on to get my Bachelor's in Health Science........reach for the stars!!!!!!

Radiology and dental hygiene would be the best for the time in school and the amount you will make afterwards.  There is a big shortage in the field and provide for many jobs anywhere.

Try getting in touch with a school of dentistry in your area. After all, these wanna be dentists have to practise on someone! Below is the link for the College of Dentistry at the University of Florida. You can try calling to see if they do free work...\n\nhttp://www.dental.ufl.edu/

I was the president of my high school honor society.  I got into the Univeristy of Pennsylvania for college.  I got into the Univeristy of Pennsylvania for dental school.  I am only telling you this so that you know I was a decent student.  Dental school was the first time I had to ACTUALLY study and work to keep up.  You have an 8 to 5 day, every day, and then you go home to study.\n\nDental school treats different students differently.  My experience was at least 98% positive, but some would tell you otherwise.  I found that the best way to survive the rite of passage through dental school, which is still sort of a "Good Old Boy" network, is to just study and know your stuff.  If you do NOT know your stuff, do not try to bluff your way through.  Just say that you don't know the answer or need some help with the technique and you will find most instructors are interested in helping.  Many instructors are part-time faculty with private practices in the real world.  Nobody is forcing them to teach and they like to work with students who do not have a bad attitude and are ready to learn.  There is more than one means to an end and students have to understand that they should not argue with an instructor who likes some different technique.\n\nIt's not as difficult as the life of a surgical resident or anything, but dental school was the hardest school I attended.  The class day was scheduled from 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch.  I needed to spend a few hours at home every night just to be sure that I was current.  That's the secret to getting through.  (As if you have not heard this, even in high school...)  Be sure that you know TODAY'S work before you move on.  Review every lecture and look up things that you don't understand.  If you get lost in the second week, you will be hopelessly lost in the third and spinning your wheels uselessly after that.\n\nIn the clinical years, it can be difficult to match up your availability with clinic time availability, let alone your patients' time, but it can be done.  In clinic, you have to do one step (or two) and wait to have it checked before you proceed.  This can be frustrating for both you and your patient, as your instructor might be busy with another student who is having trouble.  Some instructors like to hear their own voice and talk way too long, also.  You will soon learn who they are and just avoid working with them in the clinic.

ave of 4 years fulltime for undergrad Life Science degree BS, maybe zoology major\n\nPLUS\n\nave of 4 years fulltime of grad school, aka vet school, specialty in Equine, just like MDs do a residency...find vet schools that specialize in horses.\n\nIf you do winter and summer sessions and or overloads each term you can do it faster, but that is tough, esp if you are married,work, have kids and are not the type with a photographic memory and aptitude in the sciences.

If your school has an advanced diploma, take the classes that you need to get that instead of the general diploma. The main goal in high school is to prepare yourself to go to college. You need to take challenging classes, but also get good grades. You need a good foundation in English, Math, and Sciences, but you should also take the time to explore other interests as well. If you are interested in music, physical education, shop classes, or anything else that your school offers then take one or two of those classes. Just don't overload your schedule with all of the 'easy' classes. \n\nExtra-curricular activities really count for vet school too. It will look good for you to do some volunteer work or get a part-time job at places that are involved in animal care. Vet offices, animal shelters, farms and zoos are a couple of ideas to consider.\n\nOnce you get to college it would be a good idea to focus on sciences like biology. You don't need to worry about that too much in high school. Just try to make sure you have a well balanced schedule and give your chosen courses your best effort.

Lots of people love horses.  Some of my happiest memories are my time with a Morgan (my favorite breed) named Henry.  Some of my most hilarious rides were in Central Park, NY.\n\nNever doubt your passion.  While you are spending time around horses, think in terms of possible careers - you can learn to train horses, you can teach riding skills, you could become a veterinarian specializing in large animals.\n\nSome of my favorite books on horsemanship are THE ART OF RIDING by Xenophon and THE MAN WHO LISTENS TO HORSES by Monty Roberts.  \n\nIf you can't find the titles, click on the link below and it will take you to Amazon.

There are a number of ways, but, the most formidable is to raise the upper lip and retrieve the number tattooed on the inside of the upper lip. Sometimes, the number is difficult to see, so try this idea. Get a high speed digital camera, 4 MP or more, and snap a photo of the inside of the upper lip with a towel or cloth over the horses eyes so as not to scare or frighten the horse from the flash. Download the photo of the horses inside portion of his upper lip onto a computer and print out the numbers. Take the photo and get in touch with the equine veterinarian within your state and explain to him what you want i.e., pedigree, race record, etc., and the equine veterinarian will tell you exactly what to do.\n\nIf there is no number on the inside of the upper lip of a horse, the horse never raced. All horses are checked by track officials before they enter the racetrack so as to make certain the right horse is on the racetrack and listed on the program as scheduled.\n\nYou may also ask the previous owner of the racehorse for the race record and pedigree and take it for what it's worth.

Yep, all the advanced science you can take, AP classes in science and math especially so you can get the college credit. Also, get as far in math as possible. \n\nYou might also want to check into taking community college classes during the summer, to start earning college credit early. I know you don't have much time after all that, but you also could volunteer at the pound, humane society, or ASPCA and get a little hands-on experience. Good way to see if you really want to be a veterinarian, too. \n\nGood luck!

lots of science classes, so you can get a good DAT score, and get into dental school.

First, you need to go to a school for training horses.  I suggest finding someone that you like, such as John Lyons, Pat Parrelli or Chris Cox...do your research and find the best one.  There are also Cowboy and Cowgirl camps that you can attend and hone your skill.  PLUS, having taken riding lessons of course will help.  Then, buy you a little unbroke pony and with a friend with you incase of injury, get to it!  Good luck!
