Roles Of A Racehorse Trainer

By Lena Stephenson


Horses can make good pets which stealth and agility can be useful in running, carrying things, and transporting humans from one place to another. That is why they are very dependable companies in the farm. In addition, they serve so many other different functions other than these. In history, they were dependable allies in ancient battles.

Horses are fast and can make human work a lot faster when they are around especially when it comes to transporting heavy things. They are even trained for racing which is one of the oldest pastimes of Westerners. It is a huge challenge for a racehorse trainer to tame, take care, establish connection, and train this animal.

The main task of a trainer is to make sure that the animal gets the proper diet and nutrition to achieve a conditioned body fit for special speed, agility, and endurance trainings. The equines are known to be athletic animals and with adequate training, they can actually go over their natural speed.

The horse trainers have a special talent called the whisper. This means that they are animal whisperers that can easily connect with the animals. It is amazing how they can get a horse listen to their instructions and heed their signals. This is more of a gift rather than a talent.

In addition, they plan the conditioning process of the equine in training. There are appropriate standard training procedures depending on the age and size of the animal. Additionally, it will greatly help if the professional also has enough knowledge in the equine anatomy. Understanding their physiology will save them from injury.

They need to coordinate with the owners of the equines they are training and update them with the progress they are making. Before they compete on the race tracks, they have to be in perfect condition. Otherwise, there could be complications on the side of the horse making both the rider and the equine at risk. The horse must be trained as well to socialize with both his kind and the humans.

The importance of socializing them is that this will allow them to be comfortable in crowded places. The tracks are surrounded with hundreds or even thousands of spectators, so they should not be wary of humans and other equines. These animals can get really stressed and the trainer must be aware of that more than anything else.

Handling animals must come with certifications and legalities. A license is needed before one is eligible to train. There are college degrees and training courses about training. There are different licensing agreements in each state and must be followed through as much as possible.

The most critical part of performing the responsibilities is to become passionate about it. Trainers have to love what they are doing and above all, love the equines they are teaching. They must not physically hurt or stress these beautiful animals.
