Step1
Get as much experience as you can in the different areas of working with horses - starting (teaching a horse the basics), breaking (or gentling), breaking bad habits, and finishing.
Step2
Learn as much as you can about horses. You'll need to have in-depth knowledge of equine health, psychology and personality.
Step3
Ride, ride, ride. Ride as many different horses as you can: all types, all ages, all levels and all events.
Step4
Prepare to be hurt. It's hard to find a trainer who hasn't been kicked, stepped on, thrown or bitten. Working with horses is dangerous, even as a hobby.
Step5
Spend as much time as you can with horses. The more experience you have, the better you'll be.
Step6
Decide what type of horse training you want to specialize in: starting, rehabilitation (getting rid of bad habits), general all-purpose training, or specializing in one or several events.
Step7
Try to develop a strong show record in the area that you want to specialize in; this will help attract potential clients.
Step8
Be passionate about your career. If your heart isn't in it, the horses and the owners will sense it.
