Horse Equestrian
Horse Breeder (Breeder, Horse Manager)
Ever since man first discovered that there was money to be made by racing horses against each other, the chief goal of the thoroughbred industry has been to build a stronger, swifter horse. Using the principles of genetics to manipulate the natural process of reproduction, the horse breeder mates certain horses with each other, based on desirable characteristics that he or she hopes to transfer to offspring. The horse breeder is concerned with all aspects of the horses’ care, maintenance, exercise, competition, and breeding and must routinely interact with veterinarians and nutritionists. Studying and keeping records of the bloodlines, performance features, and physical appearance of the horses, the breeder purchases selected bloodstock or semen, breeds or inseminates horses, and assists in foaling.
Aside from these horse-related functions, the horse breeder is also responsible for the equipment, facilities, and staff, including the training of apprentice stablehands and jockeys. Administrative duties pertaining to the facility’s physical and financial resources also fall within the horse breeder’s area of responsibility.
Requirements for this job include a keen interest in biology, a desire to work with horses, equestrian proficiency, strong organizational skills, and management abilities. Because the role of horse breeder encompasses administrative, interpersonal, and equine functions, applicants to this position should be equally comfortable dealing with paperwork, people, and horses.
Pros
Close daily contact with horses
Opportunity to see biological/scientific theory used in practical application of horse- breeding methods
Diversified work duties
Work can lead to specialization in equitation (riding and horsemanship) or management of racing schools or breeding programs
Cons
Demanding workload
Long hours
