A groom, in the context of animal care, is a caretaker responsible for the health and well-being of horses. This role includes feeding, grooming, and exercising the animals, as well as cleaning their living spaces. Grooms often work in stables or equestrian facilities, ensuring that horses are well-cared for and ready for riding or competition. In addition to daily care, grooms may also assist with veterinary needs and monitor the horses for any signs of illness or injury. Their work is essential in maintaining the overall condition and performance of the horses, contributing to the success of activities such as horse racing or show jumping.
