Equine management works and deals with horses everyday.
It falls under the topics of horse health, reproduction,
judging competition and horse training. If trainers own
their own barns, they could even start their own riding schools.

trainer will buy a horse of no skill for a low price train it
in a specific discipline,and sell it for more money, once the
horse gains skill. The price of a horse usually increases
as the skill of the horse increases. Some riding disciplines
include English, cross country, racing, reining, dressage,
western, barrel racing, side saddle, endurance,
speed racing, rodeo, and roping.
