A Close Look At A Racehorse Trainer

By Tammie Caldwell


Racehorse is under a care of an experienced instructor. His duties are varied activities, which include but not limited to horse management, exercising and feeding program. This is also to make the horses friendly with human users. A racing horse requires professional racehorse trainer.

The horse coach, will also select from the options the best race for the horse to engage. This field has gained popularity and gained appreciation over time. The tutor earns bountifully from races won and consultancy fees. However the job comes with its challenges.

A famous racehorses trainer working with a training company shared her working typical day as follows; she reported to work by half past six in the morning, she goes ahead to mucking off her five racing horses. By seven oclock in the morning they are aware of which horses they will be riding. The horse will have between one and three canters, which will be defined by the training rating of the individual horse. The morning stable is done by noon and resumes at three in the evening. The evening part comprises of mucking the horses, giving hays, grooming of the individual horse and finally the evening feeding is done by half past six in the evening.

Racehorse training needs no specific training to venture this lucrative fun filled field profession. For anyone above nineteen years no need college training. For underage enthusiasts it is compulsory for admission into a college to acquire a Level two diploma. The normal horse riding is a prerequisite for this job but riding racehorses is complex in terms of technicalities and styles. The training requires teamwork but individual racing is critical to enhance abrupt decision making when needed. Passion and dedication are critical in the field; the job has been defined tagged as taxing, a trainer needs to work on weekends and long hours.

The coach is faced with a number of job risks, apart from the glittering and fun face of this job. This includes, Low earning in dollars per year as has been pointed by the Bureau of Labor statistics, and the bureau found the earning to range between sixteen thousand dollars and fifty-three US dollars. The sector is lowly ranked when compared with other economy sectors.

The job also physically demanding, that causes fatigue and exhaustion. The job is physical by the riding on the racing horse bark, running, climbing and bending during the training. Grooming and feeding the horses is also taxing job.

The third shortcoming of this job is the risks of associated injuries; the horses are either frightened or aggressive animal. The horse is large to a trainer, hence causing an injury with minimal effort. When provoked the horse turns violent, the instructor risks being bitten, being kicked or being tramped on. This is why it has been concluded the expertise in the field, run highest risk to injury and death than workers in other varied industries.

The ever-changing design of this job is a disadvantage by itself. This is an unpredictable job, handling different animals, under different conditions and with different states of health makes it more complex. The state of the animal will dictate its behavior and is responsible of unruly nature of these animals.
