It is typical/customary for a public trainer to get 10% of the purse monies won by the horses he trains. In a race with a purse of $1 million, the winner typically gets about $600,000, so the trainer will get $60,000.There may be other contractual arrangements between the owner and the trainer.Shug McGaughey, for example, is a private trainer for the Phipps, Claiborne Farm, and a few other selected patrons.o for a $1,000,000 race the winning horse might recieve $550,000-750,000, 10% of which would be $55,000-75,000. Many trainers split this amount with their stable help. Some give 1% of purse money to the groom & exercise rider, others bank all of their purse money and distribute percentages throughout the stable yard.
A lot depends upon where you live, whether or not you are self-employed, or work for someone else but training horses is not a career that typically pays you the big bucks. It is a career that, after taxes and expenses, starts and an average around $25k a year and upwards to $40k. How long you have been at a farm can also affect your pay scale. You may also be able to earn a higher income if you own your own farm. Depending upon your employer, you may also have additional perks like a bonus from lessons on top of a salary, and can sometimes make extra money from shows and training horses to boost your income.
