knowing math

Question
hello madam, Why is knowing math important to be a horse trainer?

Answer
it is not that important. i am horrible at math and i have trained racehorses, jumpers, barrel racers, trail horses, carriage horses, trick horses, and everything in between. it is good to know basic math though so you know how fast the horse is going over what distance and what their time is. or how long their stride is compared to the distance they are running so you know how many strides they will take.
