How to Become a Horse Trainer. Being a horse trainer is rewarding, but it's also dangerous and time-consuming. You'll probably start off as an assistant to an established trainer. You'll begin by taking care of the horses, grooming, exercising and saddling; riding will come later, when you've proven your skills.
Get as much experience as you can in the different areas of working with horses - starting (teaching a horse the basics), breaking (or gentling), breaking bad habits, and finishing.
Learn as much as you can about horses. You'll need to have in-depth knowledge of equine health, psychology and personality.
Ride, ride, ride. Ride as many different horses as you can: all types, all ages, all levels and all events.
Prepare to be hurt. It's hard to find a trainer who hasn't been kicked, stepped on, thrown or bitten. Working with horses is dangerous, even as a hobby.
Spend as much time as you can with horses. The more experience you have, the better you'll be.
Decide what type of horse training you want to specialize in: starting, rehabilitation (getting rid of bad habits), general all-purpose training, or specializing in one or several events.
Try to develop a strong show record in the area that you want to specialize in; this will help attract potential clients.
Be passionate about your career. If your heart isn't in it, the horses and the owners will sense it.
