Who is an owner? What's your story?

Joined a group in Maryland that splintered off of the internet group, and had a chance to help manage that group. Learned a lot more over the next two years and picked up a few more win photos along the way.

This sounds like a really good way to start out! Did you know much about the sport prior to that first partnership? How did you find a partnership with 50 ppl in it? That seems like a lot of people!

I imagine that it's a great way to learn a lot in a short period of time. Did you always live near the horses you owned? Part of my hesitation here is it seems many of the partnership are in the KY area or in NY. Probably I'm not looking in the right places, because it seems there should be quite a few opportunities in So Cal, as well.

Thanks so much for the response!
