Vocabulary: What's the difference between training and schooling?

Is schooling when they go in sets?

I always assumed schooling meant getting behind a starting gate, But that was always just my assumption. A person more involved in training can give correct answer.

Don’t be shy even if you don’t have all the answers.  Do any trainers go multiple trips or double headers per horse on training day?  Schooling definition?  How many miles is a horse typically jogged on non training days?

I hope to get out soon to observe and ask of those that are agreeable to share.

Here's a link I sent to Anthony suggesting something like this at one of our open houses, this could be expanded on to a question and answer session. He agreed with the idea, maybe it's something we can approach collectively

If you ever go to the Jug in the Jugette barn on this easel in full display they have nearly every kind of shoe a horse might wear. In the Jug barn on another easel I believe they have all the bits ( maybe bridles) and things like that a horse might also wear. Informative.

Last year at the Lexington sale broadcast, I peppered AMac daily with yearling evaluation questions.  Not specific to any yearling but more general in nature.  I was in the Pacific NW at the time.  After the 3rd or 4th day of getting a question through, AMac cracked “Don’t you have a job?”  Uh, that would be No and wait until I am in person!  A Q & A at Open House would be a fantastic idea!
