Friday Feature: Bloodstock Agent

October 4, 2013 by Christine Meunier 2 Comments

Moving onto the next letter of the alphabet, it’s time to look at an equine career starting with B.  If you missed last weeks, take a look at Friday Feature: Author.

Bloodstock agents are often involved in the purchase and sale of horses.  They need to have a good eye for horse conformation (remember that this varies depending on what the horse needs to do, eg race, jump, pull a carriage, etc), as well as a working knowledge of horse pedigrees.

Bloodstock agents are able to generate a full time career, largely in the Thoroughbred industry.  (This doesn’t mean that other horse breeds don’t have agents though!)  If you have a passion for finding the right racehorse for an eager buyer, this may be worth considering as a career option.

To break into this industry it is important to have horse skills, contacts… and a qualification relating to horses wouldn’t go astray!  Many people undertake horse courses to further or prove their knowledge as well as gain the contacts to break into the equine field they’re interested in.

Do You have a Passion for Bloodstock?
