List of race horse trainers
Template:More citations needed
Race horse trainers train horses for horse racing. This involves exercising, feeding, management and, in early years, to get them used to human contact.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Once a horse is old enough to be ridden, a trainer prepares a horse for races, with responsibility for exercising it, getting it race-ready by designing exercise routines tailored for each horse and its needs <ref>Template:Cite web</ref> as well as determining which races it should enter. Leading horse trainers can earn a great deal of money from a percentage of the winnings that they charge the owner for training the horse. They typically collect 10% of the purse money won by the horses they are currently training.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Outside horse racing, most trainers specialize in a certain equestrianism discipline. Some fields can be very lucrative, usually depending on the value of the horses one trains or prize money available in competition.
