If you speak to ... I think it's Kenthy ... at the Bentbranch Ranch, she'll clearly state that the majority of Chocobos fled south into the Shroud during the sudden weather change in the Ishgard/Coerthas regions (read Calamity). As such, Ishgard no longer held sway over the Chocobo trade as most of their birds came into the hands of the good folk of the Shroud.
And even with the addition of Chocobo racing ... all the initial birds come straight from Bentbranch, where they are bred and raised.
That all being said. I don't see why you couldn't be a horse breeder/trainer/racer. Or mayhaps ... an aspiring one? That would be easier, as you could try to build up connections to start your own ranch for just horses.
Chocobo breeder would not be a bad choice if you went that way as well. I happen to know at least one person who does RP one. I, myself, RP as a Chocobo Inspector.
In finality, I think it comes down to how you want your character to grow. Horse breeder/trainer/racer would be the toughest route, but entirely passable with some creativity.
