This Horse Lover Turned Her Hobby Into A Million-Dollar Job | Blue Collar Millionaires
So happy to finally see someone who appreciates their mares!
Honestly super impressed that she said that. Stallions only contribute 50% of genetic material, the mare contributes the other 50% plus growing in her womb plus personality from raising them!
Agreed
Love my mares
Right??? They are half the package, for heavens sake. They matter.
She doesn't have a job,,,,,, she has a life!
For Sure! :)
She seems genuine to me, I’ve met so many people who don’t care about the animals well-being, and only do it for money. Yes, she definitely does it for profit, but I think she genuinely likes her job and cares about her animals!
I own horses. The fastest way to get to a million dollars working with horses is to start with $2m lol
Well no. Depends on the horse,breed,sport,breeding, and much more
@@sallybeavers8506 First if all, it’s a joke amongst horse people.
Second, actually, I’m speaking from experience. I have raised and trained imported warmbloods for dressage from Europe, horses are a non-stop pit that you throw money into to burn. There’s a reason our only clients are rich middle aged ladies and why horses at the top of sports are all owned by rich sponsors. 😆
Lmao!!!!
Lmao this
@@laurafedora5385 lol and dressage horses tend to fetch even more money than gymkhana horses... most horses training above 3rd level you can't find for below high 5 figures/or six figures
Her dad had to have worked so hard for so long to save up money to buy her a horse and to start competing in the races. After winning the races and getting prize money She invested the money and it made her a millionaire! Good for her!! That’s how you know you spent your money right. Making yourself even more money! That’s the way to do it. Investing can happen a lot of different ways and she chose to do it with horses, with what SHE Loves! That’s amazing! She worked very hard to earn what she has. Be happy for her. Everyone in the comments are salty because she was given a horse a young age, with money that was worked for by her father. be happy for their family. Good for them for enjoying what they deserve for all the hard work.
I agree! Barrel folks are so catty sometimes. That level of sh-talking doesn't fly in other western horse arenas. It is looked down upon and you become known as a gossip. Barrel folks need to learn to praise others.
Loved this. She’s self made with her heart’s desire. Well deserved. Congratulations on doing what you love, a rare find. 🙏🏽🥰🤠
Yes !!! I love that she sees value in mares instead of another gelding getter!!! But WOW ! She’s living my ultimate dream and killing it !! ❤️🐴❤️
Let's not forget that Britney grew up with money... she's not a "Blue Collar Millionaire" LOLOL
Good for her. She has made a lot of money but she also has a lot of expenses. Overall she looks like she’s doing great and she’s doing what she loves!
Love this story. No shortcuts. Hard work, dedication and vision.
Oh I’d love to do what she’s doing . Love horses so much. 🐴❤️
they act like she didn't have a ton of money to begin with. she didn't go to NFR on anything less than a $50,000 horse. She might work with horses but she's as far from "blue collar" as you can get. super cringe
Doesn't mean she didn't work hard to create the business. Starting from any budget doesn’t guarantee a business will thrive and grow.
She was probably riding a horse that she trained or didn’t belong to her.
@@billie3811 sure, but there's a huge difference between a cheap backyard horse and figuring everything out yourself, and having people who are willing to bankroll you and/or let you on their expensive, push button broke horses to learn and compete.
Since she lived in city limits, her family probably had enough money to rent a stall in addition to buying a horse that wasn't green. Also had to pay for horseback/horsemanship/training lessons so that she wasn't green herself. Perpetuation of the myth that if you really really work hard enough you can make the American millionaire dream, when in reality you have to come from a well-off family or have it in the stars for you.
@@ThatGorl8 Many people have started out dead broke and made it in the United States
That’s impressive. Wish I could make millions doing something I love. Horses would be nice although I am very inexperienced with them.
This is fantastic. She is so right. ITS all about the mare's. My first horse was a double registered paint /pinto mare. She was great to me and I love her very much. Fancy to a no body and we won 2003
Pinto World in Halter and Tobiano Color.
Mares*
Good for her I’m so happy for her and she’s doing something that she loves
it’s so inspiring for me because I feel at a disadvantage sometimes because I wasn’t raised with horses and started at the same age she did, 12.
I'm 23. Started to rlly ride just the other year in summer. Can't even do it in winter. Now go twice a week for lessons. That's the only experience i have but have no doubt we can overcome and learn learn learn. You can do anything
in the quality breeding business, i hope she makes millions more.
"I didn't grow up with horses." "I got my first horse at 12."
Yeah, you grew up with horses 🤣
Love this story though!
Very true. I’ve recently started riding and I have fallen in love with it. I will say it’s hard to pick up when your 18 but we all start somewhere
Exactly
Haha, I started when I was nine 😅
Well compared to those 8 year olds getting a pony for their birthday she didn’t grow up with horses
Totally
Passion is the key to any success!
Nice to see a gal with gusto!
Plenty of people work hard and it doesn’t happen! Good for you!
I hope people realize that her fortune is based on her incredible skill and natural talent, not horse genetics, etc. There are thousands of people who think that breeding will make them rich, and they even end up sending horses to the slaughter house. It is unbelievable that someone could win the Nationals after just one year of riding. Unbelievable. I was trained in the UK Pony Club system, which was developed by the British Cavalry. It is intense, and it takes you years to get to a national level of competing, let alone winning. You start at six or seven, and are at national at eighteen IF you are really talented and have the expensive horses for competing. After just one year, you are probably just perfecting a canter depart and jumping cross poles---not winning Nationals! So this lady got everyone excited by her talent, and that's what sells the horses. And for sure, her exceptional riding skills allow her to choose better horses and train them well, which commands her higher prices.
If you are exceptional at what you do, the money is just a given side effect of excellence. If you chase the money, without the excellence, you will be a hustler and eventually fail.
I admire Pozzi but anyone who knows about the sport, knows that she didn’t place 3rd her first year on a nag and she certainly didn’t “ride” her horse to enough rodeos to qualify for that 3rd.
Doing what you love is the secret to a happy life but this “blue collar” story is a bit disingenuous for those of us who did start off with “backyard horses” and worked our 🍑’s off to become champions.
She’s a great horsewoman but let’s keep it real.
Fer real, I was kind of thinking the same thing. Lol but it's all good. I'm pretty sure the story editor had more to do with the fairytale stuff than Pozzi. Just to make it more interesting for the greater public. Here in Texas, we know how hard it is, but to outsiders it wouldn't sound all that interesting. I'm happy for her.
Right? The only two I can think of that actually did start off with cheap horses that were self trained are Charmayne James/scamper and kristie Peterson/Bozo.
Charmayne was a kid and kristie worked at the local jail. Both horses were under $1000. The stars definitely aligned as there are many out there with same that aren't that successful.
Fallon Taylor was young, but her parents had $$$ and bought her a great, trained national caliber horse, but she still had to ride it. She built her name into a huge brand with a superstar horse and good use of social media.
Sheri Cervi is another whose parents had $$$ to buy her great, made horses to compete on.
Imo the real heroes are the trainers behind the scenes making the horses for others to ride to success.
you are so fortunate to be able to live and work at what you love.. Truly following your dream and of course talent with hard work has paid off for you.
I just don’t see a barrel-bred foal or green broke horse selling for six figures. Something’s not adding up. Mares are the key, it’s true, and the mare’s sire.
Believe it these days. Barrel racing with the 3/4D format has become incredibly popular here in the USA, even at the local level.
Shocking, but there are people who will pay $10k for a horse just to go to little local backyard shows.
The futurity people will pay $$$ buying 2 and unders because the futurities are lucrative if you can keep the 3/4 year old sound.
Those young futurity winners bring big bucks from people wanting to compete nationally in WPRA and NBHA.
She's got the name recognition and track record to sell babies high. The pozzi saddles she endorses start at 2k for very basic model.
Not raised with horses but raised with MONEY
Good job girl.
Thoroughbred breeders have known for centuries, the mare is the major contributor to the foal.
But great mares go to top studs.
It's only logical.
Amazing! Congrats on your success!
This girl is impressive!!
Do what you love and love what you do ! The real secret to riches !
Very impressive! But she did learn rodeo from her father as wiki mentioned, she def grow up with horses.
The way he says ESPN4... 😂
Awesome story
I like her she not only loves horses she's got smarts. Yoy go girl !
Just working hard isn't enough to make it happen for most unfortunately.
But still kudos to her for being able to follow her dream
I've never met an unsuccessful Brittney
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Clearly you do not know my ex
Great story!
Horse girl success story amaizing
"Every horsegirl's husband always has a side game." - Plato
I'm from india I aslo work in same field that gives me lot of joy, and I'm horse lover, like her
I’m currently searching for the perfect horse for my granddaughter. I’ve seen a lot of ads on Facebook, but many seem sketchy. Does anyone know of any reputable sources where I can find one?
I wonder how old is she? Simply because she seems so seasoned, knowledgeable, amazing work ethic and all of this at such a young age! I admire you Brittany! You keep doing exactly what you're doing. You are going to go so far in your life. Girl, your just barely getting started! Got big hopes and dreams for you girl and I'm blessed to be able to watch you achieve those hopes and dreams. God bless you and keep you ❤️
those country people dont really flaunt the wealth like city people do, they buy expensive stuff that doesnt look expensive.
Well they use that stuff city people just keep it to look good we spend our money on useful things
Wow!!🐎🐎💙Love this!!
True passion is absolutely wonderful.True passion is true love 💚🐴 🍀❣️🕊️
They say if you want to become a millionaire in the horse industry start off as a billionaire. As a horse owner, I would love to know her secret 😅
Ain’t THAT the truth! My track record is “buy high, sell cheap.”
@@michellegarry1872 Lol I know your pain. I sold a $10,000 Paso Fino for $1,000. But thankfully it was to an amazing person who gave him a forever home, which made it worth it. 😅
walelu777 In my more than 55 years owning horses, I have never ever sold one for the same price or more than I paid for it. Ever. Finally, 6 years ago I got rid of my last 2 horses. One I bought for $6500 and sold for $4500. The other I bought for $1900 and gave it away free a to be used as a lesson horse. Once they were gone, I never looked back. No more horses for me and I don’t even miss it.
@@michellegarry1872 oh wow! Yeah, that sounds about right. I feel like I would miss it terribly if I got out of them but maybe I will change my mind by age 55! I’ve always had to board my horses, but I recently bought a former horse farm and am trying to restore it to its former glory, so I’m tied up for awhile. The horse market is crazy right now, I’m not sure how it was when you last sold but it’s a great time to sell and a horrible time to buy… but with literally everything else going up too, there’s no way to break even 🥴
walelu777 seriously? I had no idea the horse market is like the housing market now! But, if I had a horse for sale, no doubt I would be the only seller who would have to take a loss and sell dirt cheap. I live in Florida and the last time I bought alfalfa hay, I paid $22 a bale! I literally worked to pay for my horse habit. I bought a house with 2 acres, spent a small fortune to rehab the chicken coop into a stall. But I found myself doing more work when I came home from work and was too tired to ride! So after a year and a half I gave up and sold everything, even my tack that I vowed never to sell. That was 2016, I’m 69 now and retired on a small fixed income. Ironically, I have plenty of time to ride, but can’t afford a horse now. Isn’t that just how it goes? Oh well, I am really happy for you and your real estate investment. I sincerely hope it works out great. My problem was timing. I was already 62 when I bought my “farm.” You sound like you’re still young and full of enough energy to make it a success. Good for you! 👍
This is what me and my grandparents do but for saddlebred and Tennessee walking horse shows and we breed and drop anywhere from 70-86 foals a year
Good job!
This was awesome
she's purty
Now the big question is how much is she paying her barn hands. With that money she should be paying them good for taking care of such luxurious horses.
Sadly, probably not. Most places don't pay them well even if they are making a lot.
@@jasmynesartstudio I worked at one who was a million dollar earner, paid me less than minimum wage for like GRUELING physical labor 12 hours a day. Barn help is often not appreciated well.
Most barrel racers have there family or friends take care of their horses
Probs nothing except for a bedroom (most likely shared) and pasture board for 1 horse. Or bare minimum wage. The horse world runs on the backs of unpaid labor (working students, mostly. The number of barns I've been to or worked at where the only paid employee was the barn manager, and MAYBE one stall cleaner... Scary.) Grooms aren't appreciated, and are often exploited. Still say that USA grooms need a real union and some strikes. See how well things run when every single stable hand and working student walks off the job. 50-80 hours a week, 6 days a week, for min wage or less should not be normal.
Good job
You're rocking it girl❗🇺🇲
I have a quarter horse and I’m a barrel racer
Hello I’m currently searching for the perfect horse for my granddaughter. I’ve seen a lot of ads on Facebook, but many seem sketchy. Does anyone know of any reputable sources where I can find one?
Wow I’m impressed you did good 👍 x💛💛💛💛💛💛
Nice mem nice works
That’s how ya do it! One hoof in front of the other.❤️🇺🇸😎🐴
This is a little upsetting, someone who is just breeding horses to make money, while there are thousands of horses going to slaughter and are at shelters each year...
Hello beautiful you’ve got a beautiful profile with a charming smile hope to hear from you soon
CNBC thinks they know who Brittany Pozzi-Tonozzi is. But those who who follow Rodeo know who she really is.
The mares are beautiful and strong
I always wanted a Horse 😭 Like if you wanted one too
I would love to know the breeder of that beautiful German Shepherd I saw near the end. Bravo! Brilliant! Cheers mates!!
Spending millions to make millions …..
I would have love to hear from her parents.
Good for her!
$200.000 for a barrel racing horse! That’s crazy. 🤪
Oh there was a foal that isn’t even born yet that sold for I think $25,000 or more it’s called the unicorn project baby
Are these all quarter horses?
I think so
I am Omar from Morocco, I am 30 years old. I am looking for a job in the field of horses, with multiple specialties. I have a certificate in riding and caring for horses in stables and cleaning them.
She seems nice
It seems like she's just in it for the money to me. I also believe that stallions are immensely important when it comes to breeding and lineage because they can produce more foals.
She is good at riding . Her husband must be happy 😄
She's probably blowed out from banging the horses but they mentioned her boyfriend. They didn't say anything about a husband
Hahahahaha
Men
Well she has millions more than your sorry a$$.
Stop sexualizing riders you disgusting creep
I want to become a horse trainer
Seems a little unrealistic, and unbelievable. I just don't buy the whole story.
Fallon Taylor and you should get together 😊😊😊😊
Great story... But try and be easier with slapping those stirrups on their flanks. You can see they don't like it.
100% true, people need to be called out on stuff like that, and I think its funny she calls herself a horse lover but will kick a horses side with a metal star as hard as she can for some money.
Isn’t that the lady that drives on the hsow
Good grief. Modesty is an asset
Horse girls are insane
No we just think different and work for things.
Why does the thumbnail make her look like megan markle’s sister
Still looks like she does a lot. Seems she enjoys it.
Horse lover... riding in long shanks, yeah right!
Why are all the horses racked up and tied to the round pen....?
There are so many horses that can be trained to run barrels that are waiting for homes in shelters.
Breeding leads to more neglect and slaughter of horses.
That's actually a false statement. At her level you don't go find one in an auction and just train it up and have an NFR qualifier. These horses are carefully selected for breeding before producing foals and at only 10-15 foals per year for this level of horseflesh means she has buyers waiting for them.
Mam i have a lot of experince of horses stabels grooming training riding i from india i want job reueriment any tipe job of hoese stabels
I am looking groom rider job I have 20 yaer experience with horses I am from india punjab
I'm India Gujarat
👍
Definitely not from the bottom of the totem pole.
Please, buy rescue horses and not from these breeders.
thats like saying every kid should win a ribbon for participating, these horses are bred to do their job, you wont see a rescue horse winning the NFR. These are not back yard breeders.
Karla Waltze bred.
People buy horses from famous breeders bc they’re better and bred for their job and you know what they’ve trained to do with rescues you don’t know what they are meant to do you don’t know if they were trained for that you don’t know anything about them.
Sometimes you can get a pretty good competition horse as a rescue. Maybe not top tier but pretty good. If I remember correctly, though his name escapes me, a jumping horse whom set an early high jump record was rescued off a slaughter truck.
@@demonicsnowh.280 snowman the horse? Yea but that’s also jumping this is barrel racing you have to be on the road 24/7 if you want to be a pro rodeo person
I am looking groom job
Horse lovers are weird people. I dated one.
Can't say I've ever met a hose lover...
Probably just the one you dated.
This lady seems great
Hummm, maybe your the weird one? Lol horses are great@
@@thefarmersdaughter8235 anyone with your username has no room to call others weird tbh. No hate but the name is just cringe.
@@ultron-5600 So calling myself what I am is cringe? To bad for you. Lol
Can you get me a job?
horible . " horse lover "
Right... pumping babies out of mares year after year... to make her “millions”... 😞 So sad...
She is responsibly breeding. Most breeding facilities have mares pumping out hundreds of foals she said she only has 15-20 and she breeds for health not just looks. You can see how well she treats those horses.
3,000 dollar boot collection?
There must be something wrong with me at 25 years old making 45,000 a year paycheck to paycheck almost for my boot collection to be worth more than hers 🥲
