Do you make a lot of money training horses?
It depends on where you live. Horses over the years have trained for warfare, farm work, sport and transport.
I see, and do you need any special education to become a horse trainer?
Well when I became a hand I noticed how much controversy their was over various methods of horse training. But really you just needs to be hands on.
What are some controversial methods of horse training? I have heard about trainers giving their horses drugs.
Well some techniques are considered cruel, other methods are considered gentler. I prefer to give them rewards for good behavior.
Do you start training your horses when they are young?
Yes as young as possible. The range of training techniques and training goals is large if you ever decide you get a horse you have lots of research to look forward too.
