Step1
Pick out your snake. You can't become a snake charmer unless you have a snake, so spend some time finding the perfect one. Picking one that is generally calm in demeanor will mean less work for you when it comes time to do your charming. Pick the snake up by the head and tail so that it can't bite you.


Step2
Keep your snake cool. The cooler your snake is, the more docile it will be. This is where the basket comes into play. Keep your snake in a cool, covered basket when not performing tricks so that it will remain calm and non-aggressive.


Step3
Feed your snake. A full snake is a happy snake, so keep its belly full and you'll decrease your chances of getting bitten.


Step4
Learn to play the Pungi. This Indian flute is a staple when it comes to becoming a snake charmer. You'll not only need to learn how to play, but you need to learn to play using circular breathing, which means without pauses or stops during the song.


Step5
Practice, practice, practice.

Racing horses is one of the most exhilarating and dangerous of the equestrian sports.

Step1
Get a referral to work on the back side of a racetrack. You need a recommendation from either a trainer or an owner to get a job on the racetrack.


Step2
Begin your career "walking hots." This means you'll cool down hot horses that have just run or exercised. Walking hots is done from the ground.


Step3
Move up to grooming. Once you've established yourself on the racetrack, you can become a groom. Grooms are typically responsible for grooming three to four horses. The groom is responsible for making sure the horse is brushed, cleaned and ready to ride.


Step4
Pony racehorses: While seated on one horse, you hold on to the lead rope of the racehorse and trail him to the side. This gives the racehorse exercise and gets him used to being ponied, which is how the racehorse enters the racecourse.


Step5
Exercise racehorses. You finally get to ride the racehorse, but only for exercise. You'll be required to gallop the horse on the track for practice.


Step6
Compete in schooling races. These are practice races designed to teach new jockeys how to come out of the gate and race. Successful completion will get you an exercise license.


Step7
Realize that track stewards will judge you on your ability to ride while you compete in smaller races designed for exercise jockeys. The track stewards will critique your ability to handle the horse and to maintain safety among a group of horses on the racecourse.


Step8
Get your jockey's license from the racetrack. This license is valid at all racetracks.

How to Become a Horse Trainer

Being a horse trainer is rewarding, but it's also dangerous and time-consuming. You'll probably start off as an assistant to an established trainer. You'll begin by taking care of the horses, grooming, exercising and saddling; riding will come later, when you've proven your skills.

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.
