Default It was something

I was thinking about.

The only thing is Im watching Cal Expo right now and they have a pro am thing.

I would so dig that.


It was something I was thinking of doing for retirement. retirement I'm only 21, but it would seem like fun.

Go hang around wherever the harness racers are keeping their horses. Usually the county fairgrounds. Its easy to get a job cleaning stalls(the pay is crap but its actually quite relaxing and rewarding work)(I think so, anyway). If you work a "real" job, you could always get a part-time gig with the horses. Show the trainer that you are dependable(there is *NO* calling off from any horse care job, EVER), and eager to learn more. From there you could be jogging horses in a matter of weeks. I speak from experience! I'm sure the step from jogging horses in the morning to racing horses isn't that hard to make. If you want, I do still have some standardbred contacts and I could easily find out how you get your sulky license.

Good luck, it is a blast!

Contact the USTA and look into the Billings Amateur Series. The people who participate in the Billings program have always been a great help in getting people involved.

Good luck.
