Horse Racing

I have been helping my family get the horses ready for track season. I assist my grandfather during training sessions, doing groom work, and helping out during the feeding rounds. Hopefully by 18 I am able to obtain my official Texas Racing Commission Trainers license and help my grandfather out during track season.
