Horse Jobs – Bloodstock Agent

Bloodstock Agent with a horse

A bloodstock agent is a position that works closely with the animals, as well as many members within the industry they specialize. Essentially they work as a liaison between horse owners and auction houses or private sellers.

Commission Based Career

This is not generally a salaried position, agents often work for a commission or % of the purchase/ sale price of the animal. Those interested in this position should have an affinity for sales and marketing.

What You Need

This is a position which benefits from a deep knowledge of a specialized industry (usually racing), an expert understanding of pedigree and the ability to spend extended amounts of time on the road.

A highly competitive nature, a phone book full of industry contacts and an innate understanding of confirmation and horseflesh are all elements of a successful bloodstock agent.

This animal is also known for their kind disposition and robust frame – a stark contrast from the high strung light breeds of their neighboring Russia like the Akhal-Teke.

Scoping Things Out

Riders Recommended has a solution to help with the research. It is a clever site that allows horse people to recommend products that have performed well for them.

Actual Feedback

It’s not a site filled with advertisers trying to promote their own products, the recommends are all from bona fide equestrians.
