Episode Description
Are you one of the lucky people out there who literally grew up in the business you’d ultimately spend your life as an adult? Blaine Wright, a professional horse trainer with his own racing stable currently working with 60 horses, has a story just about like this. Having grown up working in his parents’ horse race training business, he learned early that he had a real knack with animals and felt at home around them. Over the years he experimented with other kinds of work, though none could quite get him out of the starting gate like the sight, smell, and connection with horses. He simply could not resist the ongoing tug back to the race track and the magnificent animals who ran around it. Despite the challenges of working in a business that requires his near total focus seven days a week, Blaine has stayed true to his passion. And the results speak for themselves - not only is he very successful in his business but he has managed to cultivate a beautiful and rewarding way of life.
