Here are some considerations when choosing a person to train your race horse.

• What type of horse does the trainer specialize in: i.e. claimers, stake horses, young horses, pacers vs. trotters?

• How many horses does the trainer currently train (how big is the stable)?

• How many staff members does the trainer employ?

• How much time do you expect a trainer to spend with you?

• How often do you expect a trainer to communicate with you?

• How often and under what conditions do you wish to be consulted?

• Would you like your trainer to attend sales and assist in making horse purchase(s)?
