A work rider rides horses that are being conditioned for the races but does not ride in races. The term "work" is often used when a horse is timed for a certain distance
from the backside of the track. A work rider may trot, canter, or gallop horses at the track in the morning based on the instructions of the horse's trainer.

The horse Clint Eastwood rode in Pale Rider was an American Quarter Horse that was trained by Spud Proctor, who was an outrider on the Southern California horse racing circuit at the time (1980 or 1981). He used the horse in the mornings while he was outriding at Pomona racetrack (now Fairplex). The horse was trained for racing at Los Alamitos, although I can't remember if he started or not. Spud told me he sold the horse to Eastwood after the movie was completed.
