first FACT TO KNOW ALL EQUINES HAVE A HEART AND SOUL!

Lets start off in giving you a bit of information about this industry in short form. Many investors don't know or were never informed prior of their investment how the thoroughbred industry works. We at Yellow Rose Thoroughbreds find it very necessary to inform you of the many different possibilities, from BREEDING, SALES, RACING, to JUMPING and more. The list just goes on so if you opt not to participate in one type of event there are many other events and professionals in the equine industry that will be able to re-educate your equine mentally and physically and be on the trail to start a new career.

The Breeding opportunity available in the equine industry is very overwhelming, every state as well as almost the world offers a breeding program with awards for its offspring's and with this it creates a Chaim reaction (like a pyramid).The awards that are offered are so different from state to state, from country to country, one would need to view each country's or state's web site's. The easiest way one could describe the variables in any state or country is to tell you is that in the thoroughbred business revenues are generated though racing, and performance including showing, jumping ect, the Breeding is the sole of it all. There are generations of breeding as far back as civilization, the breeding line is the key in being effective in the high dollar better said my sire was a champion or the broodmare was so there fore the foal would be valued at a larger value when born of course conformation does have a opp ion. You also could look at like northern Dancer yes he was a great horse but in those days the population of racing equines were limited therefore he bred to most so there were more offspring's which were more noticeable. Today you have thousands of stallion's standing for service the choice is yours, along with a long wait for the foal to develop into a two year old. And some may wait longer, breeding is like playing the lotto.

The broodmare is in the same scenario. Breeders will research back as far as four generations if not further to make a decision, so in most cases be prepared to pay an large amount of money for a stallion. It is highly recommended to breed to a stallion with a pedigree and with a athletic background as well as earnings. We find that the broodmare in many more cases to be kept because of pedigree only with out earnings. More than often owners, breeders fall in love with the broodmare and wish to keep them not mention its easier to find a farm to board them, unlike a stallion unless the stallion is someone like a Kentucky derby winner.. (note): the racing industry and breeding industry is the third oldest profession next to prostitution and bull fighting. At any event it's a feather in the hat for all countries, states, government's that owners and breeders profit. It's a revenue thing.

The idea to design and create your own Breeding/racing/sales dynasty is in every government's interest. The revenues are in the billions every year, (note) when the u.s. experienced the depression way back in the man of war days everybody including there cousins raced to bet the ponies with unemployment checks and their welfare checks, that was the one industry that bailed us out of the depression giving everyone the opportunity to profit from a buck even the government made it's money at the track "revenue's" (they always do and still do) anyways its money going around and around.

On anther note it's safe to say like in humans just because my father or mother or brother was a champion what ever the case may be does not necessarily mean this foul is going to be a champion, like I said it's no different than the lotto.

Sales is a invention of commericalization started in the days of the high powered farms as time went on and these big dollar farms grew up to the point of owning thousands of acres and brass surroundings in the mansion like barns, they were put in a position to have the need for public auctions. They were in a situation were they had all the good horses and all the not so good were put out to pasture. Either you ate them or you sold them either for racing or other investment ventures. They also couldn't allow the idea of running against them self's in a race or show ect.

Therefore by having these sales at a prearranged date every year they would soon be able to bring many people together to bid all at once, rather than try to get investors to go to the farm. There were such auctions for riding /working horses but the investors were looking for a separation between working and racing, with all equines together this would create a lesser value for what the racing interests were looking for. So by making these auctions (thoroughbred sales) rather than a plain auction and what ever auction, cattle horses ect. Don.t misunderstand before the auto was invented the plain working horse was worth much more than any racing thoroughbred. Also the purses in those days were very little but you always had the betting which is what makes racing. So now that we know how it got started and how the large farms were able to disperse there overflow or disperse the stock they didn't want We see our self going to a thoroughbred auction in this century.

Now were at the sales and It's really called WYSIWYG same as the computer largin what you see is what you get, this can start anywhere from weanling, yearlings, two year old's or older horses. You can bid to buy broodmare, stallions or geldings with past racing experience. These sales offer everything from vet checks x-ray viewing, your able to view these prospective buys first hand (you can even hire A private adviser to stand by your side while examining the equines.

But remember it's not any different than buying anything else in any other market with certain conditions with a return option but in the equine sales this option is for shorter period of time and it only pertains to rules that the sales company issues. All equine owners or sales consignors are required to inform certain irregular issues to the sales company so the public be aware of before biding, these are rules by the sales company so when the equine is on the sales block and they announce these issues you better be there you might not want to bid. Finance is easy you can get a bank draft, or fill out the paper work for credit in the back of the sales catalog or go to the sales office. There are sales agents that will buy and purchase for you as well as fill the paper work out for a small fee. If needed a agent can be available for you there at all times ofcourse there is a commission involved also and it does vary,now your off- n-running buying your first race horse or broodmare or whichever it may be.

Two Year Olds; This where the fun starts for everyone, the breeder,owner,trainer,rider all get to start with an equine that can range anywhere form fourteen hands to a real good size equine and in most cases even if they were handled they seem to all act like they have never ever seen a human before, usually they relate to smell, sight (vision is a shadow )and relocation also has its points and the experience they went through when they were at the sale. After all all they ever knew but one place and that was where they were born and never been anywheres else. Some farms do an excellent job with the babies but they all do get a bit silly. So you start breaking these two year olds and try to be careful as much as possible you don't want to get them hurt, the injury may come back three months down the the road and bite you in the ass.

Yellow Rose Thoroughbreds in no way can tell you the steps only because everyone has there own way. We have found the idea of being in a hurry at any stage of development mental and physically of any equine especially a two year old relates to this old wise tale IN A HURRY TO WAIT !!!!! This is the best advice we can give don't be in a hurry to wait, but yet you will find horsemen that have learned differently and will be a hurry. Remember its flesh and blood with a mind and heart and soal so be careful you can hurt these equines either physically or mentally, this is a firm warning!!!!!!!!

Your more personal trainers do not look at money as a issue there more interested in creating a athlete that will be sound and productive this means time, excellent ethics if we may say. So when the equine is ready It's ready!!! Meantime enjoy the makings of a possible future world beater or the horse that gave you nothing but heartbreak this happens even with the best and most expensive horse's there are.

I would like to thank you again for having an interest in the thoroughbred industry and viewing Yellow Rose Thoroughbreds Web site and now I would like to give you some back

ground information.

My background started in southern California from the early seventies. Twenty years between Santa Anita Race Track, Hollywood Park and Del Mar. Other tracks in Northern California Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields and on the east coast Belmont Part and Sara toga. Along with 43 other tracks. I could tell you who where and when but by now one would realize that would take a long time, spending much of the time of my young life in California I had the opportunity to be employed by many world champion trainers and the point is it wasn't just one. The west coast experience was a time to be always remembered.

Only life itself could offer the opportunity to be employed to so many great horsemen (note) I speak this way only because they were good teachers and they taught me well and with the education gained I was able to be employed by some of the greatest horsemen. I guess I could say I've been employed by the best in the west. I would like to thank Neil Drysdale, Tommy Bell, Richard Mandella, Jack Van berg, Roger Stein, Charles Whittingham and so many more and when I went to the east coast I wish to thank you all for the same excellent horsemenship and I'll always will remember horsemen like Woody Steven's, Seal Veitch, John Veitch, Allan Jerkins, Leroy Jolley ,Angel Penna Sr and many more. It has been a honor to work with the best in the United States. YELLOW ROSE THOROUGHBREDS

Bucks Tour Of History Chapter 4

2008-03-14T17:38:00.000-07:00

With the horse's all gone and the student's having a choice of hanging around for a couple of weeks and doing well I guess you would call it poop work or (???? work) everyone decided to go home.

Buck having his uncles place to go to or to the beach.

Buck thinking if he goes to his uncles place that's work at the produce stand and split fire wood yep Buck knew how to do that type of hard labor, rolling large logs to the splitter and split the logs into fire wood that was his summer job or he could go back to the beach and never return to the horse farm which he was afraid of. Buck decided to stay at the horse farm and get familiar with the grounds. Being there he got to know the people pretty good, the owners and Howard and others. They took such pleasure in the idea of a surfer could have such a interest they decided to show Buck some history. Inside that big barn a room as long as the barn where those mares were, and about 30 ft wide and what you saw was history at a stand still.

Buck walked in and from one end to the other there were saddles, there were rolls and rolls of leather and so many different leather items, there were bridles everything hand made. This place had the smell of history even on some of the old tables was unfinished items with spider webs so thick it had to have been sitting for years. There were racing forms dated back to the fifties printed in black and white. It was so overwhelming looking at this stuff, not just what was laying on the tables but the many items that were hanging on the walls. After Buck got done I guess you would call it mesmerising they told Buck follow.

He got to the end of the leather shop and there was this like train door Buck opened it and walla it was a room of artifacts, records, trophies, old racing forms, just stacks and stacks of old rewards of the horse racing industry dedicated to these people. It was the history of the Sport of Kings and these people were the Kings. Buck not ever being a reader in his entire young life for once started reading. Realizing that the material goes back to even before man of war . Time passed on that day and Buck not realizing that everyone left stayed untill the late hours of the night checking this stuff out..

Well believe it or not Buck for weeks on end continued to go back to this hideaway of history and continue to educate himself to the point that he was able to visualize it. He even got to look at many training charts, some of the worlds greatest horses were developed this way. Pictures, articles, magazines funny how they looked when they were in black and white, actors, presidents, so many different famous figures and 100's of win pictures seeing these people when they were at there youth. Buck got a lesson in life from this room, Buck realized everyone makes history and never forget it because history can repeat itself and it can come back and bite you in the as, also as you go in life never forget your mistakes cause you might make the same mistakes again and you'll bite your own self in the as, life and knowledge and your memories are so very valuable in life never forget it.

Buck at this stage of his life at this farm being able to see these artifacts sitting still surrounded by spider webs has been one of the most important teachers he's ever had even to this day. Bottom line never judge a person at first glance, and never judge a book by its cover. Buck doesn't know why he thought this way after seeing all this history, but weather it be a man or woman that goes forward in life having ethics and honor they will make history as little or as big it may be or as good or bad it may be all the same its your history and because you are as one you are responsible for your own history.. See ya in chapter 5 all be safe and read about Bucks reality that's about to ride him.

Bucks Journey Chapter 3

2008-03-07T21:58:00.001-08:00

Bucks letter;
As time went on forgetting about the jockey school and Buck's realizing after working two years and some months at a sprinkler factory and his girlfriend growing more into a women, a time has come in both of there life's to move in a different path, nothing lasts forever no matter how wonderful it may be.

Bucks girlfriend has decided to move on and Buck wasn't part of the moving on. Who could blame her having a excellent education and the look of a queen, not with the blond hair but with the long brown hair down below her bum, dark brown eye's and being 5ft what a sight anyways she decided to move on to better things and well Bucks finding himself being interested in getting back to the beach. The sprinkler business has also reached its limit so once again Bucks thinking about the idea of beaches and women and another types of work. Ending up getting a waiters job at a place called Hanks, a sea food restaurant right at the Newport Beach Pier.

Funny Buck ends up back were he started when he was younger. Spending the summer there among his fellow beach bums, Buck receives a letter from the jockey school. They requested him to show up on March 10 well if that's not the oddest thing that's Bucks birthday unfortunately its his 21 st. Finding himself a bit older to start something new and having no real future at a sea food house at the the age of 21 and no education Buck takes the jockey school on.
Buck jumps in his 67 chevy super sport grabs what little he owns and heads out to Chino California. Arriving at this farm well actually it was like something out of the wild wild west! Driving along the out side of the property miles and miles of v-mesh fencing who's to know it was like about 1000's of acres or so, this was overwhelming to say the least, there must of been about 500 or 600 horses at least cattle every where.

Anyways Buck goes to the main office and introduces himself and two tall cowboys walk out and look at Buck wareing a tank top, shorts, thongs and hair down to his waist which was gone real soon (clothing thongs and hair). Buck says hay man whats happening the old two cowboys look at Buck and say howdy and scratch there heads. Well one would think this will be Bucks last day but the funny thing is little Buck hit it off with the old two cowboys and they all laughed and had some fun.

Buck not really knowing anything about the horse world and realizing that these two old cowboys come to find out was a hall of fame trainer and the other was considered one of the most successfully owner and breeder in the world. They talked and messed around a bit and had some fun with Buck and then brought Buck over to what they called a dorm. Buck brought his stuff in and they explained to him many things that was going to happen and that at 4 am sharp breakfast will be served. Meantime all the other students were in the dorm and Buck and all of them got acquainted oh ya out of 300 application's only 7 people were picked.

Well 4 am cameup real quick and Buck being curious and excited about the first morning he was able to be up and ready to go, of course being from the beach most surfers or beach bums got up early it's a beach thing. Anyways sitting down to eat this tall older women with a bit of a horse sounding voice saying eat up and make it snappy we don't have all day. I guess she meant what she was saying cause as soon as she said that she started picking up the plates. About the time everyone was ready to sit back a little some Spanish cowboy mid 30's comes walking in (Albert) wearing these big Spanish spurs and yelling if you want to be riders get yours ass's up and lets go, he's walking out were all running to keep up this guy was huge..

He then loaded us up in a van hauled us down the road about 30 minutes or so to the other part of the farm. He brings us in this huge barn looks like its 100 years old with stacked plank oak for the stall walls and about 200 stalls, dirty stalls and horses in them (mares) alot of mares. My gosh we did stalls from 5am to 8pm.

The stall duty went on for a few months and as time went on we all got a handle on the stalls handleing the mares, bring them in and out grooming and still doing stalls all the time. Being more or less a bunch of drug store cowboys but from 4:00 am in the morning to eight to nine in the evening we were all learning how to walk around like bulls.

Ya we got lunch and dinner at the dorm so the conversations were quite entertaining from what we used to talk about and now its about horses. I guess if you involved yourself in the conversations it was a easy way to tell if you were going to make it as a cowboy at this farm. Were finding ourselves spending more time working with the mares.

Oh ya there was this old mean looking cowboy that supposedly been at this farm since it began, the old cowboy with chew dripping out of the corner of his mouth a cowboy hat that it would've been a good idea if he either threw it away or burned it not to metion the clothes he was wearing, but I'll say this once you got to know him and heard some of his long tall tales he was real cool to say the least and with his old tractor he drove maybe a 1925 ford pulling this cart that must of been used for one reason only cause it sure smelled like it, he (Howard)was the main man along with some partner of his and they much did all the stalls all day long. We soon graduated from most of the stall mucking spent more time working and cleaning and handling the mares you know grooming etc, day after day seven days a week.

The kids were getting tired and the cowboys were just beginning, funny thing is who ever thought some beach bum would hang in there and soon began to expand out a little more. Then all of a sudden were all going to learn to be real cowboys were going to work with hundreds of cattle we branded them,we castrated them, the horns were cut off we treated pink eye, what a ordeal hundreds of cows weeks on end.

At this stage we all began walking like cowboys meaning a lot of hard honest everyday dirty work rain or shin the beach bum almost started to wear a cowboy hat. Were all finding out whether this is right for us, some of the other kids I say kids cause all the other students were 16 or 17 some with a little horse back ground some none anyhow a few have come to a decision that the city life was much more attractive so they began the old call home and save me in the hat trick.

Buck well he had no one to call except his uncle which he has been staying intouch with and that kind of phone call wasn't going to be the answer so Buck continued on. One morning all of a sudden about 4:00 am we were really put in a bums rush to get to the other end of the farm (chino) soon after we got there about 10 big cattle trucks come driving up and backed up to the big barn, instructions were to load the mares, Buck thinking I've never walked a horse outside the barn area or into a big trailer well little did Buck know all at once the gates all opened and closed a certain way by a few cowboys and a maze soon was made.

Someone yells open the stall gates and run those mare's down here well believe it or not every mare for about 7 hours ran perfectly in the loading area and loaded right up without a bit of help, those horses did better than if one was to handle then one by one. Were ending this chapter seeing that the mare's are all gone and there's nothing but a lot of stalls to be cleaned again and repairs and there's no horse's but a few pony's.

Buck has an idea that some thing was about to happen but didn't quite know what. Meantime time was on his hands so see chapter 4 and will tell you what happens with the time thats on Buck's hands and what he gets into and what the furture holds.

Hall Of Junkies

2008-02-22T10:55:00.000-08:00

This article relates to a blog that I read the other day (the horse jockey.com). This blog states issues about thoroughbred jockey better known as P-Val.

The blog tells us about P-Val's issues and how better off we'd be to let Louisiana have him. Again here we go and this includes baseball football or any other sports. The US Congress just had a hearing about drugs in athlete's.

There findings and remarks were as bad as most jocks. They talk like they have as much of a drug or alcohol problem as the ones they were talking to. There demeanor showed that it does no harm to anyone except to the people taking the stuff whether it be drugs alcohol or what ever. My question is what about the people? Yes the people.

Were going to start off with horse racing. Now I don't know much about it but I'm going to give it a try. We have a horse and he runs in a race, he wins and then after the race the horse goes to the test barn and the state vet removes blood and urine. This sample is then sent to the testing lab which they test for drugs ect. Usually in about 48 hrs the test results are then sent to the stewards if it's a bad test. The trainer and the barn vet are then called in to face the consequences.

Usually if its a minor offence they'll be a fine and the horse might be removed from were it finished the trainer and sometimes the barn vet can get fined and maybe days that all depends who wants to bend over, for example a horse wins and pays $60.00 test shows cocaine in the horses system, the trainer explains to the stewards he had a cocaine problem and he snorted it over the horses feed tub and that was how it got in the horses system.

The stewards buy this, the trainer gets fined and a 30 day suspension, horse is placed last from the race he won, loss of purse, and of course the gamblers which is the public all the bets were lost, so everyone looses except that trainer and owner we all know the trainer bet the horse. If a test comes up with real bad drugs like cocaine you usually get ruled off for years, not this case as you can see. Maybe its because who it was! OK we now have a scenario we can follow.

We start with the many great jockeys which have admitted on tvg or hrtv which many do (seems funny I guess were suppose to feel sorry for them). "A recent quote" Life was so tough I had to go to drugs meantime every week he'd go pickup a $500.000 check for the weeks riding tough? (pinhead) We find ourselfs allowing the so called hall of fame athletes to use their drugs to establish their young career and continue on using drugs to perform to profit even after being caught so many many times.

P=Val being caught at least 100 times reinstated atleast 100 times and in the meantime being able to make 5 million a year. Jerry Bailey admits being a drunk after his career is nearly over meantime he buids his career as a drunken jockey nothin but another drunken rider.

/Pat Day,Bill Shoemaker ect the list goes on but not all jocks are like this. Back to the issue if a horse can be put last and loose the monies earned (bad test)why shouldn't the rider have the same penalty for the whole day he rode all day loaded if he came to work being loaded (drugs)it should be for all the races he rode win or loose dq all the horses?

The other point is I don't ever remember reading in the daily racing form or the program that this rider rides with medication ie alcohol or cocaine or other drugs, just like horse medication "bute,lasix". The downfall is the public doesn't get there money back on bad tests weather it be the horse or athelete owner, trainer. The trainer doesn't care if you cheat its your life just bring home the money (not all trainers and owners are like this).

Oh they say they test the jocks meantime one jock pisses for the other jock. The bottom line is that many trainers know who does what because there usually in the same bar. Another point is throughout the years the pinheads make there careers while on there junk and at the same time destroy other jockeys careers. To make it simple have you ever tried keeping up with some one on drugs or that was drunk?

There is no try outs for being a jockey there is only who's ass your going to kiss and how many drinks or how much cocaine is available, they race like wild men on million dollar horses, they use there drugs to be all they can be. The baseball football and the other sport millionaire's step up to the plate loaded upto the gill some times blowing up and looking like the hulk one way or another they push all the real athletes back.

The ones that are respectable and honest with good ethics are pushed back to end of the line. They spend many years trying out to accomplish a natural ability to perform until the dope heads come along and push them back to the end of the line. The idea of a jock of any kind thinking they have have the right to be ingenious to there fellow athletes ,the public and the world means there should be no second chance.

All the commisions do is continue to do nothing but spank them or is it the other way around? The congress was reveiwing these issues of athletes only to reject real issues the president demanded them to take care for our nations interest instead the Dem ran off for there weekly drunk, this athlete issue was a commision issue not a congress issue.

I find myself saying to my children the athletes these days are nothing but rich drug addicts drunken fools with excuses on how they cheated everyone to get were there at and remember the best athletes are the ones that are at home with their families living a real life they are our athletic heros.

Todays established athletes have played there fellow jocks and the world and are teaching the young many bad things and the world and the children can only welcome all of todays athletes to THE HALL OF DRUGS AND ALCOHOL CC>northern dancer

Bucks Journey Chapter two

2008-02-17T15:56:00.000-08:00

BUCKS JOURNEY BEGINS
Chapter 2

This journey continues on for many years but not with the equine. Buck not living in horse country but in Southern California, his interests just like any other person living there except being 30 lb person soon began to go towards the sea.

Many of his friends at that age in California aimed at surfing, music and women (AH THE WOMEN) yes young and foolish. Buck being a Pisces (fish) spending most of his time at the beach one would think water would be his thing well Buck in no way liked water so he just settled on women, music and he even play a little banjo and violin (he thought). At this age there was nothing greater than these few interests and it kept him out of trouble and happy, and lived many summers right at the beach.

Buck had a couple of friends that rented a house right by Newport Beach at the pier, right by the water. There was one time that Buck and a few friends climbed aboard John Wayne's lancer (48 ft sail boat) Mr Wayne didn't even like that he chased Buck's buddies off it, Buck ran down the road (water thing) they jumped in the water we thought it was funny (kids), and Of course we had all the concerts you know we were in Southern California growing up in the 1960's use your imagination long hair ect.

Being that Buck was living at home his parents decided that they were going to go into the motel business well one would think being raised in southern California the future would be bright for Buck you know maybe mom and dad was going to buy a place at the beach,
sister, buck, mom, dad would keep all there friends and be close to there family, go to the same schools with your friends you grew up with ect, you know what better place would one ask to be raised.

Then it hit Buck soon he was going to have to move to a town on the California and Arizona border named Needles pop 3200, school 75 students, town 20 square miles. Mostly a Indian reservation yes welcome to the wild wild desert, yes there were many nice people there just not Bucks kind.

Nothing but a river, you know in the middle of no where, lots of hot sand, lots of dessert, and well if you blinked you'd miss the town. School was unlike any ones imagination, there really was nothing for Buck compared of where he came from. Bucks sister was able to stay in Newport Beach.

Buck managed to learned a lot about fishing, dirt bikes, even went and watched evil jump well maybe crash at Ceaser's palace but still wasn't his thing. They did have some nice inboard boats and some racing but again the water thing.

I believe the reason Buck didn't like the water is because he was so light the water would wash him away, by the time he was half way through his senior year he still only weighed about 60 lbs at 17 years and and was 4'11" he's got a couple issues. Not being big enough or heavy enough to be in any sports in school and having quite a bad time with many you know it was a size thing, also there was a little more than a hand full of women in this town that issue became next to none, not much of a love life but there were a few Buck hasn't forgotten even till this day.

Buck did pretty good with the women at the beach even though he was small. Buck decided that the time has come to leave Needles and go back were he came from Southern California.
Bucks now back in his backyard realizing all his friends and partners in crime are now with there new life's, new places, every ones more or less gone, some living a whole new life else where too.

Mean while Bucks father dies and had to go back to Needles,. Buck spent about a year there before all the issues of his fathers death was resolved. Buck finally left and headed out to find a life. Realizing a year gone by and still wanting to make a life, it would be necessary for another hair brain idea. Buck heads to northern California to a college not thinking money was a issue or a better high school education.

Buck with little funds and no help in reach, living under this big oak tree in this park Buck applies at the college, well the first thing he was told was that it wasn't likely to happen due to the fact that they never heard of this high school he went to and the subjects that he took and the subjects offered there doesn't put him in this school so Buck was back on the road again.

Searching not running as some may say, Buck headed back down to southern California. Believing some where in his journey he's going find his niche.
By this time still being of sound mind (I think) Buck spends many days and nights at the beach finding himself lost.

Thinking before he looses his pride and heart any job at this time is better than nothing. Buck had no interest in being some beach bum. (again maybe it was a water thing). Buck finds himself getting a job at sprinkler factory (making sprinklers here we go again a water thing))and spending about a year there, Buck meantime had a nice girlfriend he still remembers her till this day, she must of made a very nice impression.

During this time at the sprinkler company Bucks at the age of about 19 living a life rather dull other than his girl friend keeping his want to become something in life, you know most young people want to make history. Meantime some women at the sprinkle factory working next to Buck says you need to do something for yourself!

Check this farm out and see if they'll teach you to be a jockey. Well Buck listens and takes a address down and sends them a letter informing then that he's interested in going there to work and maybe learn how to become a jockey. Well naturally they requested Bucks back ground and wanted to know his experience with working on a farm and horses, and how much experience he's got riding horses.

They also informed Buck that this is a school for jockeys, they make thoroughbred jockeys there but they also teach not just how to ride they teach you everything from the ground up.
A list of 300 students have applied thus far. Buck only having two things to offer and that was 4ft 11 inches and 90 lbs, so he wrote back and informed the school if they decide he could attend the school he would be ready. Next week Chapter 3 Buck receives a letter from the school.

Were going to start off with story about someone called Buck who thought his future was to be a jockey, but little did he knew what he was getting himself into. This story is true, only once being around a horse way back when he was about 10 years old and about 3 ft and 30 lbs. Buck climbed into the paddock and this horse began chasing him around the paddock around and around (Stallion). Buck kept running away with a banana in his hand. Buck finally turned around throwing the banana at the horse Buck thought the horse wanted the banana. The horse then bit Buck in the fore head and took the banana and walked away well Buck at that point had little if no interest in a horse. Later a week or so his uncle then decided to buy two donkeys (So much for the equine horse) anyways Buck had a sister and uncle decided Buck and his sister were going to ride them. This happens next to a two lane hwy in front of Bucks uncles business, so Buck and his sister jumped up on these two donkeys well guess what, Bucks on this donkeys back watching his sisters donkey going at it bucking and spinning and farting (don't think he was broke) O Buck he's watching this shit happen and thinks this shit ant't going to happen to me so Buck bales off and the two donkeys are hauling ass loose down the hwy. Uncle see's all this shit happening and comes running out to the rescue. Ya right now these two jackass's are heading faster down the hwy. So what's uncle going to do? Ah uncle spots an old ice cream truck driving by you know the kind that had sliding doors on each side like a ups truck but was smaller you know a old fashion ice-cream truck. Anyhow uncle grabs a rope calls the ice-cream truck over and jumps in, the driver asks what are you doing? Uncle reply's were going to go rope those two jackass's and away they went off in the sunset got the rope swinging in the air getting tangled up on everything ice- cream flying every where. Sure enough 4 hrs later here comes the ice-cream truck my uncle with a smile on his face and one jack-ass's tied on each side of the ice-cream truck. This is Bucks 1st of two encounters with some type of equines in two weeks.
So at this time and place it appears that Buck has ended his future career as a jockey but wait next week chapter 1 begins and you'll find out about Bucks 30 year jockey travels.
