Why not see if you can get a weekend job in a local point to point yard, I know the season is nearly over but now might be the time to start enquiring. My daughter is 16 and is not really into racing but has been helping my neighbour who trains pointers to lead up and help out at the races so it's worth a try!

you cqnt go there till your 16 and it costs allot--but if u have a pony or can borrow one you can do pony racing clinics and race-this is through the ponyclub though and to do so you must attend 5 rallies or hunt 3 times in the current seaseon--?

get a loan pony that is quick and you are allowed to race! (have to have owners permission) because you can join ponyclub anr=d race! youl only have 2 years pony racing left--its a big help if your wanting to be a jockeyQ
