(first leg of standardbreds triple crown).

During this visit you will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the horses.  You will be able to help the horses prepare for training and help the trainer remove the gear from the horses after their training session.  if you are willing to get wet, you may be able to help wash the horses after their workout.Not only will you interact with the horses, you will also meet with Mark, the trainer, as well as riders and grooms.  Mark will discuss the life of an owner.  Among the topics will be horse breeding, what to look for in a horse to purchase yearlings, deciding what races to enter and when to sell a horse that is not a good fit with his stable.  The trainer will explain what goes into training a standardbred horse as well as what he plans to accomplish in the exercises you will be watching.  Riders will also be available to discuss how the horses performed that day. 
After the unique training experience, we will head to Ben’s Kosher Deli for an enjoyable lunch. 
The training facility is in Delray Beach, Florida.  Carpooling is encouraged.  Those wanting help finding others to carpool with can contact David Feldman for help davmarf@aol.com.  
There is no charge for the visit to the training facility.   However lunch will be your responsibility.
