How long is the training to become a horse vet?

Answer 1

Some states have a certification program, a series of training opportunities that can be taken in a single year or spread out over several years. Most four-year equine programs in colleges and universities focus on the business end of the horse industry.

Answer 2

The best education is hands-on experience, but if you're looking to add a degree to your credentials, you want to have something in Equine Science, Animal Science, or Agricultural Business (or a combination, if you can). You also want to get an internship if possible.

I'm not looking to get into training specifically, but I am working towards becoming a professional horsewoman on the breeding end. For that, I'm duel-majoring in Animal Science and Agricultural Business. I've worked as the groom for a Arabian barn, as well as for a show in Branson, Missouri. I've been getting as much experience as possible while I'm in college, and when I graduate, I'll be doing a year-long internship. I'm also building a portfolio, featuring the horses and farms I've worked with. This should put be pretty well posed to get an assistant manager position, which is what I want.

For being a trainer specifically, you want to train some horses on your own. Get a video of you working with the horses and demonstrating your techniques. Show as much as possible. Make contacts; contacts are EVERYTHING. Get your name out there. Good luck!
