Horse trainer information

[Bluey's~Friend]

G'day! I would like to be a horse trainer when I finish school, but I don't know muh about the job of a horse trainer. I enjoy training horses out of small habits (eg. niping, bucking exc.) So I think being a hose trainer would be a good, wellpaying and fun job for me. What types of horse trainers are there, I know of race horse trainers, normal trainers and thats about it. I haven't exactly studied up on it and that is whY i'm asking for more information. Typed information or website links would be good, but if you have any other way of displaying the information, please put it in that order, if you get what I mean. Thanks in advance.

The type of trainer you are would depend on your background, what you know. You cant teach a horse what you dont know therefor whatever you know is what you can train.
english, western, h/j, dressage, eventing, driving, groundtraining, natural horsemanship, TTouch, parelli, clicker training... whatever it is you have your background in!
as for well paying...its usually NOT! Basically you make enough to get by unless you are a TOP TOP trainer with those huuuge barns that look more like a mansion. You can usually make a living out of it and as long as that is what you are happy doing its great. If you want to have a porche, swimming pool and other nice things..not the career for you usually.

G'day! Thank You for the info!

Would it earn me enough to have a few horses, say maybe three?

It really all depends on the size of your clientel. I know trainers who have their own horses ect and live comfy and others that need to pick up a night job waitressing. there are so many variables ya know? its not like a steady 9-5 job. Then of course i know trainers that after all day of training horses would never take the time to ride one, let along three of their own. Also, the trainers I know give lessons also, some also board at their barns or have summer camp programs ect... They may use their own horses in lesson programs so the horse pays for itself.

to be a racehorse trainer, you need to do a 3 part course at BRS and you need lots of money....(I am talking about £85.000)
