Answer
HI  I STARTED BY WORKING ON HORSE FARMS, CLEANING STALLS, RUBBING HORSES, GALLOPING HORSES AND ALSO WORKED ON A BREEDING FARM FOR AWHILE TO LEARN ALL I COULD ABOUT TAKING CARE OF THE HORSE. I WORKED AS A GROOM ON THE RACE TRACK FOR SOME TIME BEFORE I GOT A JOB AS A ASST. TRAINER FOR A TRAINER. I WORKED FOR HIM FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR DOING ALMOST EVERYTHING HE TOLD ME TO DO TO LEARN THE BUSINESS. I BOUGHT MY OWN HORSE AND TRAINED HIM FOR 6 MONTHS AT THE TRACK WITH THE TRAINER BEFORE I EVER THOUGHT ABOUT RACING HIM. HE HAD A CHIP IN HIS KNEE AND I HAD IT TAKEN OUT AND GAVE HIM 6 MONTHS REST AND 6 MONTHS TRAINING BEFORE HIS FIRST RACE. I THEN GOT MY OWN LICENSE AND STARTED TRAINING ONLY MY OWN HORSES TILL I STARTED TO WIN RACES. THEN I WAS ASKED TO TRAIN SOME OTHER HORSE FOR OTHER OWNERS AND I WAS OFF TO MY CAREER AS A TRAINER. I TRAINED FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AND I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT IF HAD IT ALL TO DO OVER AGAIN. IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A TRAINER THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO START AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK YOUR WAY UP TO BECOMING A TRAINER. LOTS OF HARD WORK AHEAD OF YOU FOR SURE.THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO WILL HELP YOU OUT AND TRAIN YOU TO BE GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO. LOOK FOR A TRAINER THAT NEEDS TO HAVE SOME GOOD HELP IN THE STABLES AND HE WILL TRAIN YOU IN ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO BECOME A TRAINER. IT IS NOT A OVERNIGHT THING, YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK AND EARN IT. I WISH YOU MUCH LUCK IN YOUR FUTURE ,BUT YOU  ARE THE ONE WHO WILL HAVE TO MAKE IT COME TRUE. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU THANKS ED HESS
