Also called: Horse Identifier, Tattoo Identifier
Racing official who checks that every horse in a race is really the horse entered, using markings, microchips and lip tattoos.
Stands in the paddock before each race, scanning each horse's microchip, comparing its color, white markings and cowlicks with the official papers, and checking the old-style lip tattoo. A 'ringer' horse would be fraud, so you also inspect new arrivals at the track.
Estimate; often seasonal with the race meet.
Approximate: anchored on Bureau of Labor Statistics data for a broader job group.
High school diploma, about 0 years after high school. High school diploma plus years around horses; trained by the racing commission or track.
Ways in: On-the-job training. Training cost: Get paid while you train.
Shrinking. Fewer race meets and racetracks.
Low risk in 5 years, medium in 10. Microchip scanners help, but matching live horses to papers still needs a trained eye.
Classes: Biology, Animal science (FFA), Art (observation).
