Grooms are the foundation of the racing industry and are critical to the success of any horse in any stable. Their relationship with the horse is by far the closest. Grooms provide the daily care and attention to the equine athletes, keeping them physically healthy and mentally happy, and sometimes work seven days a week to make sure their horses are properly cared for.
