What is the average annual salary of a horse trainer?

That depends on what type of training you are doing? Pleasure riding, racing, jumping, roping, barrels, steer Wrestling, cutting, etc. I have been training roping and working cow horses for 10 years. I work for an individual and I am paid $65,000 a year. I have a friend who trains race horses and is paid over $100,000 a year. If you train for a barn you get paid a lot different price range
