OP—your daughter might want to own a horse ranch but she needs to consider what the future holds for that type of endeavor—
Likely going to be very $$$$ and ecologically difficult==
She might consider just riding horses as a hobby and working with them in other ways
There are psychology programs that use horses as therapy
She could get degree in psychology and learn how to do that
She could get degree in public relations/communications and help create charities to protect animals including horses
She could become a scientist and work on equine disease, learn how to do artificial insemmination/breeding, create various forms of virtual horses
She could become attorney and deal with animal rights
If she is artistic she could design apparel for riders and leather goods, become photographer specializing in animals, create games/toys around horses

Not to mention the fact that she's only 11. I've never heard of an elementary school with career guidance counselors, nor a middle school. I think it's premature to be thinking in terms of nurturing a career interest. The OP can support her interest in horses, by providing opportunities to go riding.
I don't know if she's too old for these collector-quality toy horses:
