horse breaker

Wild mount tamer

A horse breaker is someone who trains horses to accept a rider or harness, transforming wild or unhandled animals into working mounts.

The term reflects older methods that emphasized subduing the horse's resistance, though modern trainers often prefer gentler approaches.

He worked as a horse breaker on ranches throughout the Southwest.
