There are many that don't but most girls who love horses that become women who love horses are horse poor.
Before my wife gave her horse away she would shovel shit to pay for her horse's room and board. For a while she was at one stable every morning shovelling and feeding... at another she would be there all weekend between teaching and mucking stalls...
As for breaking foals... my wife has done this a few times but she actually sought out to ride and train older horses with bad attitudes. She doesn't take shit from too many horses... and once she is finished with them they are much better horses.
