What this job is
A horse trainer develops and improves the ridden or driven performance of horses through systematic training programmes, working in equestrian facilities, stables, or training yards. They use evidence-based handling and conditioning techniques to teach horses obedience, gaits, and behavioural responses to commands, while assessing each horse's physical capability and temperament. They may specialise in disciplines such as dressage, show jumping, eventing, Western riding, or driving, and ensure training complies with animal welfare standards and ethical horsemanship principles.
