need to find ways to make money to save up for a horse?

i'm 18 years old.
i have been around horses since i was 5. my aunt owned one then got another one i use to ride both of them. she got married moved and got 4 more horses sold her first one got divorced and sold all but one horse.
i've been riding since i was 5.
I took lessons from 6-8th grade 1st 3 times at one place i like but not as much as i love the new place, one of the nicest people i have ever met. my aunt also taught me a few things here and there and my art teacher too haha(she has horses too)
i have a job but its not an every day job. its a two day job. so i only make 226.08 a month plus i have to take out 90$ for my cell bill leaving me with 136.08. i wanna work more but im pretty sure no one will hire me, i have 13 piercings and recently have black n purple hair O.o i dont know any place that would hire me besides spencers and MAYBE rue21 anyyyways can you help me find or give ideas on how to come up with extra money easy and fun way? horse related and non horse related it can be jobs or home made things. i have a list but some things might cost too much to actually make haha. i like making things though. AND YES I KNOW THIS REQUIRES ALLLLOTTT OF MONEY AND ITS NON STOP BUT I DONT CARE CUZ I KNOW ILL BE SPENDING MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT I'LL LOVE FOREVER AND DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO KEEP HIM/HER SAFE AND HEALTHY AND HAPPY. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT I WILL HAVE A BEST FRIEND AND SOMEONE TO TALK TO WITH OUT GOING BEHIND MY BACK.. I LOVE HORSES AND I ALWAYS HAVE. I WANT ONE OF MY OWN, I HATE HAVING TO ASK SOMEONE TO RIDE THEIR HORSE. I CANT WAIT TIL I HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY MY NEW BEST FRIEND.

1. sounds like you got the prices sorted out!
put some money in the bank!
dog walk or babysit if you can.
mow lawns
rake leaves
do ANYTHING possible, it will add up.
and you never know you might just save yourself 1800 dollars because there are some free horses that are amazing, and you never know they might come around

if you can, try to work off board at the place where youd keep your horse.

DONT GIVE UP!!!!
