By Katina Brady


There are different roads that you can take when it is time for you to find a job. But it is always recommended that you pick something you will be interested in because if you do not, you will quit sooner or later. Try to see what skills that you have as well. This way, you have more options on what you can do in the future. If you feel that you have a future when it comes to taking care of animals, there are other fields that you can explore.

If you specifically like horses, this is better because you just narrow down the jobs that you can have. For example, you can concentrate on horses and become a racehorse trainer. If you become a trainer, the main objective would be to train the horse for races. If you are skilled in this field, there are likely more owners who want you to train their steeds.

When you think of a racehorse, the first thing that comes to mind is having the right build. Although it is a requirement, this is not something that you have to work on so much because it already comes with the breed. However, you would need to supervise the training. And for you to be qualified, you need to go through training as well.

There are different scopes to becoming the trainer. Firstly, your domain would involve the exercise routines that the animal is going to undergo every day. There are drills to be formulated and different exercises to be performed to make sure that they are ready for the big event.

One of the ways to breed a good racehorse is to ensure that they eat right from when they are babies to the time when they are ready. You will be taught of the things that you are allowed and not allowed to feed them. Later on, when you already have enough knowledge, you can formulate your own diet for them.

As the trainer, you need to be well connected. This means that you have connections to race events. And you also have to determine which of the races, they are best suited in.

One training that they have to undergo when they are still young is how to communicate with humans. This is very essential during the race itself. And it is a needed trait to make sure that they do not act hostile or wild when they encounter new people.

There are two types of trainers. There are those that only focus on the general racing. This means that you will only train the animal for the common and traditional racing. This is the one that you usually see on movies where the animals run around the oval and try to finish several laps.

There are other types. For example, you want to be an expert trainer for an equestrian horse. This can also be possible but you have to be prepared for the in depth training. This is also divided into different classes. You can have the chance to train for a specific division then move on to the next.
