The Life of a Female Jockey

What is it like to be a female jockey? Janice L. Blake shares her views and insights of a male dominated sport.  She also  shares her love of horses and the realities of working at the track from the backside.

Janice Blake was born and raised Hoosier (that means someone from Indiana) with nothing more than a fervent desire to be with horses, she created a glorious life that has spanned numerous equine disciplines while traveling the world in search of this priceless experience.

Janice's website is a laser hub for information and articles she gleaned from her many resources to bring readers the most innovative and high-quality ideas about how to better coexist with our equine friends. Using her vast experience, she sifts through the fluff so you don’t have to.

After many speaking engagements and numerous questions of racing, Janice wrote her first book - How to Exercise a Thoroughbred Race Horse.  Janice describes how to take a horse to the race track and back safely. A great book for beginners, owners and other railbirds wanting to know more about what goes on behind the scenes of a Thoroughbred race track as the horses are being exercised in the morning.
Follow along with Janice as she gets a leg-up on the race horse, rides to the track, exercises her Thoroughbred race horse and brings it back to the barn unscathed.
