We can say that working with the highest yield is a pinhooker, but it is also one of the jobs most at risk involved. Pinhookers buy young horses for "cheap", then turn around and sell these horses a year or two later for much more money than they paid. Usually, they seek a return on investment of 25% minimum. For example, in 2005, a pinhooker bought a yearling for $ 200,000 and sold it five months later as a two year old $ 17 million.

To make money you need to be in the training side of things, but it's easier said than done, most people work as assistant trainers, but do not go over high level for years.

My friend worked in the racing industry a little over a year when you graduated (she BSc Sport horses and man of science), and she hated him. She could not go further than groom side jockey / things, even though her qualifications, she should have been able to work with the rehabilitation side of the training / things to say, the stuff of hydrotherapy, etc. treadmill training, she was just zigouiller all the time because of his qualifications and he actually made it more difficult for her.

I would stay well clear of the racing industry, unless you have very good contacts. you will just end up mucking 7 horses at 5am and take lots of six days, being tired and the poor!

I'm sure many others thought had better experiences, but it's my opinion!

Size can be a problem for many aspiring jockeys, but there are many other career for those interested in a trail rack.
