Tips for Choosing and Finding a Good Horse Trainer
How do you find a good trainer? Look first for qualifications. Has the trainer been through a well-known course
resulting in certification from the training facility? Has the trainer worked in the area where you need help? You
wouldn't ask a dressage specialist to work with your barrel horse: you'd probably want to find someone who
specializes in barrel racing. Ask for references, or get referrals from your farrier or your trusted vet. And, as in any
case where you will be working with someone professionally, it's important that you like and trust that person. If you
don't "click" with a trainer, you may want to keep looking. If the trainer handles your horse in ways that makes you
nervous, consider trying someone else.
