FAQ
Purse earnings can be a huge percentage of a trainer's income, and a trainer can really make the big bucks if their horses compete well in the more prestigious stakes races (which carry purses ranging from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars).
Just like schools and colleges, horse training fees vary greatly. The prices often vary from at least $200 every month, to more than a few thousand dollars a month. Some have also decided to send their horse to a private trainer, only to end up with a horse that has not been trained well at all, or even worse.
Longeing has many benefits for both horses and riders. For a young or green (inexperienced) horse, longeing is used to teach a horse to respond to voice commands and the trainer's body language, to accustom them to the feel of a saddle and bridle, and to begin their introduction to the feel of reins and bit pressure.
