Senior Horse Buyer
Senior horse buyers handle higher-end or more complex horse purchasing — managing key seller relationships, evaluating premium animals, and making the bigger calls.
What it's like to be a Senior Horse Buyer
A typical day involves traveling to farms, sales, or training facilities to evaluate horses, often premium ones. Pedigree research and conformation evaluation fill office time.
Collaboration involves breeders, trainers, sellers, and sometimes vets. What's harder than expected is the evaluation depth required for premium horses — small details matter substantially in pricing.
People who thrive tend to be deeply knowledgeable about horses, comfortable with travel, and patient evaluators. If you've grown up around horses, the role often feels natural.
