Contact the trainers that you have exercised for, and offer your services.\n\nYou should be able to work both jobs, if you can exercise during the early morning, then head to the day job.

I think your best bet for jockey is a younger less experienced horse one who responds well to the yoke.  Not because your harsh but because your both learning.  A stud not tried on the circut of familiar maybe a bit sheltered.  A stud who is running for the sake of the said jockey and for no other reason.  I really think you'd be a fine jockey on the right stead.  I say you buy the silks but you need to choose the right stead.  You've seen sea biscut right the most unpredictable of rides can prove winners.

First, you need to go to a school for training horses.  I suggest finding someone that you like, such as John Lyons, Pat Parrelli or Chris Cox...do your research and find the best one.  There are also Cowboy and Cowgirl camps that you can attend and hone your skill.  PLUS, having taken riding lessons of course will help.  Then, buy you a little unbroke pony and with a friend with you incase of injury, get to it!  Good luck!

This completely depends on the horse. If you're asking as a gambling tip, you're better off asking about a specific horse. You need to take in their workouts, their racing style, their trainer, and even their jockey.

MAKE HAY WHEN SUN SHINES is a proverb .\nToday you have energy your service is recognised and has a value. You are also in a country where you get a nice amount which has value.\nIn my view you must not look at work as something not good . Better earn donate for chareity or bsave for a rainy day. \nYou have a long way to go keep going dont think of rest so early in life I am afraid you may become so lazy or inactive that later it may affect your active life.

Take a tip...Strong advise...Stay away from thoroughbred partnerships for racing...bad-bad idea.  Especially if the horse wins. Either buy the horse outright, save and decide what u will do with a racehorse after his/her racing career is over or subscribe/log onto the Thoroughbred Times at ThoroughbredTimes.com.\n\nDO NOT go partners in a racehorse for racing...In the matter of breeding, read and study before investing.

If you want to do something interesting with your life, I think that you have three options:\n\n1) You can throw it all in, give up the job the money etc. and do what you want, if it makes you happy.\n2) You can stay in your job, be unhappy, but loaded.\n3) You can stay in your job and have a fun life outside of work. \n\nEveryone hates their work (well most people do) but we have to pay the morgage/rent etc. so the job is a nessessity. You don't do your job 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You have time outside of work to socialise and have fun. You have to decide yourself what you really want. Because giving up everything could sound amazing now but it could get boring, and what are you going to do then? Personally, I'd ditch the job but you have to decide for yourself. \n\nHope this helped and good luck!!\n\nxxxxx

Find a VERY strong horse.  Or start a new division: Jockey Sumo Wrestling.  Short skinny people slapping each other around might find a niche in society.

While you should get a job that pays good for the lifestyle you want you should keep in mind that you should find a profession that you would enjoy as well. :)

yeah dont do it\ni was in your boat completely, right now u need to take lessons and learn as much as u can. by getting one horse you will beriding just that horse for a long time, along with working 15 hours a day to pay for everything! \nmy father wouldnt help me, and i became a better rider and horsewoman because of it. i rode all different horses all different styles and am now applying to vet school to become an equine vet. my dad still thinks it is a "phase" i will outgrow, but when i moved to the middle east to study the arabian breed i think it finally got through to him that this is my life.\nby sticking with it and doing the best you can, your parents will either come around or youll get the means to get a horse yourself. \nlol im just thinking about if i had bought the horse my trainer wanted me to buy... i would never had learned dressage or reining! \ngood luck!

it depends on the nature of your job. u weren't really specific as to what industry you're in.  but if the office needs you, then go to work. and if you really think that the work you're in right now is stiffling your freedom, think it over a million times before you decide to quit. sure there are places with greener pastures, be sure u'll end up in one of those places if ever u decide to move on.

The easiest way is to forget about it and go find a job in the real world. Almost every offer for work on the internet is a scam of some sort,created to make the presenter money-not you! It's best to forget the "get rich quick" schemes and apply your mind to pratical training in a field of work you will like for years to come.

Make sure that it is what you really want to do first. No you do not have to have horse experience. Contact some trainers at the local track and be up front with them. A lot of times, you can get a job that is mucking stalls and a learning position. Sometimes it can be hard. The thing to remember with Thoroughbreds, in general, they are more flighty than most other breeds. Meaning that it does take time and experience to learn to handle them properly. There are always quieter TB's that anyone can handle and most trainers do have quiet hroses in their string. But you do need to know a little bit about the horse. \n\nHorses have two mechanisms built into them. They are "flight or fight". You are probably rolling your eyes like I did the first time I heard this expression. To be honest, I truly hate it. But unfortunately, it is 100% true. I have seen it many times and I will continue to see it. Basically what it means is that a horse will try to escape first (flight) and if he cannot, he will turn and fight. This is true in every horse, no matter what. While the timing may be different on every horse, because some are quieter and some are just more experienced, it remains the same. As a rule of thumb, the younger the horse, the more flighty he is going to be. I know that I am generalizing here, but it needs to be put into practice every time until you know that horse very well.\n\nLeading horses- always lead a horse from the left side. If you turn him, turn him away from you. This will protect you from broken toes and ER trips. \n\nSome practices, at the track especially, can seem cruel, but in fact are safety measures. All horses are lead with a chain over their nose. What this does is it gives you more control and if you have to give a tug on it, it hits the pressure point in his nose and averts his attention away from the distraciton. Make sure you ask about a training procedure before you write it off as abusive.\n\nSometimes a horse is just plain mean spirited. A fair number of TBs are. They may require two handlers each with a lead shank with a both chains running over his nose to keep his head in the middle to keep him from doing stuff. And they can be mean oujt on the track too. I think ( I am not sure on this) that the Triple Crown winner Affirmed was like this. And then his sons were mean too. Insanity breeds genius, right. \n\nYou will not be handling horses like this your first few years, so I hope I didnt scare you. You just have to be prepared. \n\nTraining, of any discipline, is a cut throat business, especially in racing. It is very hard to actually become a trainer because there is a lot you have to learn and then to be accepted is another thing. Make sure you do stay away from dirty practices once you do have your lisence because the Jockey Club will suspend it quicker than snot if they think that you are up to something. They also deal out life-time bans too.  Once you have your training lisence, you will most likely be working for a claiming barn and then move into low grade barns. If you manage to make it past this stage, then you are set.  You may manage to find a decent horse that will start winning stakes or you may make a good enough name for yourself that you will be noticed. It is goign to take years to accomplish this. You will probably not spend less than 10 years as a groom or hot walker. Make sure that you are willing to put the time and the energy in to this kind of career goal.\n\nContact the local trainers and explain everything and that you want to work with horses and that you want to spend time around the track. Explain that you have to horse experience and that you are willing to learn.  I wish you luck in this field as well as all the determination that you are going to need. Keep in mind tha tyou are dealing with 1,000+ pound animals at all times. The horse business period is one of the most rewarding jobs out there. If you decide that you dont like the track, try going and vo

Go for fun. You should do what you like doing the best, then you will have more passion for your job.

You should be more interested in the job than the money.  If it appears you are fixated with money that may take away from other personal values.

I have my dream job.  I am a certified equine sports massage therapist.  Soon I will add canine massage to my resume as well.  I work for myself, set my own schedule, make great $$$, and know that I am alleviating suffering in animals.  What could be better than this?\n\nFor info on training to be an animal massage therapist visit www.equissage.com

Sounds like you found yourself in the taking care of yourself trap. You took something that you (I assume) love, violin, and made a job out of it. The problem with these sort of hobbie/jobs is the kind of value they demand from the rest of the business world. How many violinist are there in the world? How many companies are 100% dependant on violinist talent to make profits?\n\nBeing responsible for a family changes all the rules. I would love to be a rockstar, but instead, I'm a manager for a class one railroad. Find a trade, skill or talent that is worth paying for. Make goals. Find help. Strangers can make a good support group for annonomous questions you may be too embarrassed to ask family and friends. \n\nI'm sure you qualify for education assistance programs. I had the military pay for my education. This may be an option for you? Most federal funded carrier retraining programs are managed by your state department. Research the web for details.\n\nThe first step to living a more successful lifestyle is to WANT a more successful lifestyle. Now you need to make a plan and set goals on how you are going to get there. Ask lots of questions and do lots of research. Have a goal on what you want to be doing and where it may lead you in 10-15 years. Ask other successful people how they got there. Have a back up plan.\n\nDon't give up. You know you can teach violin, let's see what else you can do.
