horse trainer
Stable professional, equines
A horse trainer is someone who conditions horses for specific purposes—racing, riding, show competitions, or general handling.
The work involves teaching horses to respond to commands, accept riders or harnesses, and perform desired behaviors.
Professional trainers often specialize: a thoroughbred trainer, a dressage trainer.
The term applies whether working with young horses being broken for the first time or experienced animals refining their skills.
