How does one pursue a career as a Thoroughbred racehorse trainer?
I am a high school student and I am interested in becoming a racehorse trainer. I was wondering what the best way to pursue this career would be. My plan so far is:
1) Go to a college offering a four-year degree in Equestrian Studies and major in it as well as a minor/duel major with buisness.
Well, that’s really all I have.
I’m thinking of going to Midway College, not a great school but it is right next Lexington, Ky.
Not real sure. You need to go hang around the Horse Track and get talking. You will meet Trainers just keep an eye open and talk to them. You could get you a $5,000 claiming horse and it already know some. Work with it and try to win a few races and people start knowing you. Then look around and buy a reasonable 1-2 year old to start from scratch. You hang around the track you will figure it out.
