Description
An advanced stable hand (sometimes referred to as stable foreman)
is a person who is in charge of daily operations in a thoroughbred
or harness racing stable. In a harness racing stable the stablehand
cares for standardbred horses. In a thoroughbred racing stable
the stablehand cares for thoroughbreds. The advanced stable hand
works to the delegated instructions of a trainer who has overall
responsibility for the enterprise. There is a degree of autonomy
within the delegation, eg. An advanced stable hand is permitted
under the Rules of Racing to act for the trainer on race days.
An advanced stablehand directs and co-ordinates one or more stablehands
when operating as a foreman in the stable environment.
Anyone undertaking the Certificate III in Racing (Advanced Stablehand)
