Sounds like one of my brothers who was into horses too. I remember covering his paper route once when he had asthma as a kid and could have some life threatening attacks. I took over for him cuz he was a go getter and feared he would go anyway and maybe die. It was winter pouring rain on top of it. Then it started to flood. Get stuck on the bike and walk through it. Had to worry about strange men watching me in slow moving flooded streets in some areas too that early and no one out yet. I though never again I hope. Lol He went from that to working at the stables taking care of horses at about 14-15 and from there to raising Arabs and breaking horses on the side. In those days you could afford ” barley” to do that. Now you can’t plus so many taking those jobs and kid labor rules. One of my other brothers at only 12 got a job on a farm for awhile till my parents found out. I could care for babies at 11 to earn money. Don’t think kids can do that these days.
