Thank you so much for all of your help guys!
I talked to my trainer and she said she'd be glad to talk to my parents when they are ready.
And about the job, because I'm at the barn so much, I don't have time for a job. My trainer isn't able to pay me, but if I do end up on a half lease or lease, she's going to be able to make a discount for my work.
Thanks again to everyone!

Make time for a job. Spend less time at the barn so you can work. I do know it's hard to not be at the barn, but personal responsibility needs to come first.

Nothing is cheap in the horsey world. You said your parents were having financial difficulties. The responsible thing to do would be to get yourself a job to help pay for your passion. Show some initiutive and I suspect your parents would move just a little quicker to help as well
