training (education) for horse-breeder, Pferdewirt


Explanation:
Pferdewirt is a specialist for horse breeding and caretaking. This is a "Lernberuf" (mixed school/practical education), which is very specific for the German education system. I don't think that any other country is offering that. SO it might be best to keep the term in German with an English translation in brackets

training as stable manager


Explanation:
At the site below you'll read that in the UK training to work with horses culminates in stable manager, i.e., that seems to be the highest level of training in the UK.
