You are only out there working them in the AM, not galloping them... unless you're riding at a cheap track....

Hey you ever heard of a horse called The Tin Man , I ride him , I work in SoCali for a Hall of fame trainer, whom I have also been an assistant for.
I started breaking horses on my familys farm when I was 13 ( that would be 1983) then when I was 15 I started galloping horses at the track in PA. and when I turned 16 I started riding races. In 1997 I made the national standings for female jockeys races won, I retired from race riding in 1999 and went to work for Richard Mandella. I have galloped , worked and been around World Champions and Breeders Cup winners and stakes winners and the like.
I was also lucky enough to get the chance to train a string of 2 year olds , which included Halfbridled's little sister and a horse named One Union.
So there are my credentials , tell me about yours.
