Can a jockey own the horse they race?
You sure can be a jockey but you have to really want to do it and be dedicated. Many jockeys spend years with the horses to really develope skills and techniques that make them good at what they do. One of the most important things for a jockey to be successful in the sport is by practice and knowledge. Of course knowledge is a pretty basic thing for just about anything, but most jockeys dont take the time to really examine the nature of the horse and abilities, they just ride. If you really want to be a jockey, and a good one for the matter, i would advice set a goal and reach it at whatever cost. Learn from other jockeys, study every chance you get.This will truly put you above others if you really put the time and effort to it. Practice, practice, practice!! Remember, practice makes perfect. If you're bearly starting, just try to find someone with horses that is willing to give you some pointers on how to ride. Get involved! If you really want it, then you got to GO FOR IT! Well i hope my information was some what useful for you and that you accomplish whatever goals that you set up to do.
kind regards,
(the once young boy riding everything with legs at the ranch, now professional jockey)lol...good time.

What do sled dogs do when they are not racing?
As sled Dogs are generally kept in large numbers, most owners will keep the Dogs chained to kennels outside. This may sound cruel, but the Dogs are usually well fed, live near their own kind and are regularly taken out racing or pulling sleds. This is the case with most professional sled Dog owners as they could not possibly keep all of their Dogs in a house with them. The majority of working sled Dogs are kept to work, not as pets.
How long does the Iditarod race last?
On Sunday, March 8, mushers will again line up at the old Wasilla Airport in Wasilla about 40 miles north of Anchorage. At ten a.m., the first teams will depart on their way to Nome.
From Wasilla, they travel to Knik Lake, the last checkpoint on the road system. Spectators may drive the 17 miles from Anchorage to Eagle River and the approximately 30 miles from Eagle River to Wasilla. It's about 13 miles from Wasilla to Knik. Once the mushers leave the Knik checkpoint, they are OFF the road system for the duration of the race.
It is impossible to predict the exact day or time that the first musher will cross the finish line in Nome. However, we expect it to be between 9 and 12 days, making it on second Tuesday or Wednesday. Doug Swingley, 1995 Champion, completed the course in 9 days, 2 hours, 42 minutes and 19 seconds to become the first musher from outside of the state of Alaska to ever win the Iditarod.
