WELCOME TO THE ANOTHER EPISODE OF “JOCKEYS ON HORSES GETTING MILK”.<\/b><\/p>\n

On today’s show we are riding on two beautiful Appaloosa Mares from Idaho where it is the official state horse. The\u00a0Appaloosa\u00a0is an American\u00a0horse breed\u00a0best known for its colorful\u00a0spotted coat\u00a0pattern. There is a wide range of body types within the breed, stemming from the influence of multiple breeds of horses throughout its history. Each horse’s color pattern is genetically the result of various spotting patterns overlaid on top of one of several recognized base coat colors. Today, the Appaloosa is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. It is best known as a\u00a0stock horse\u00a0used in a number of\u00a0western riding\u00a0disciplines, but is also a versatile breed with representatives seen in many other types of\u00a0equestrian\u00a0activity. Appaloosas have been used in many movies; an Appaloosa is the mascot for the\u00a0Florida State Seminoles. Today we are riding on “Van Gogh” and “Paint By Numbers”.<\/p>\n

My guest today is Monica Ramsey, a newbie to the world of SIM Jockey with just four years under her belt. Monica calls Texas home and is in her final year of high school at Alamo Regional High. She has won ten percent of her races in her young career and looks forward to many successful years on the track.<\/p>\n

I’m DUNN and this is “JOCKEYS ON HORSES GETTING MILK”!<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dunn (on phone): Hey Monica its Dunn, I’m in the neighborhood and have two great horses for us to ride. Want to go for Milk?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monica (on phone): I would love to Dunn, I have been looking forward to your call.<\/span><\/p>\n

DUNN ARRIVES AT MONICA’S HOUSE<\/b><\/p>\n

Dunn: What do you think of our rides today?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Monica: \u00a0Oh my, they are beautiful.\u00a0 More like pieces of art really. I love the color patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn: \u00a0Yes they are amazing aren’t they, and you will never find two alike.<\/span><\/p>\n

DUNN AND MONICA SADDLE UP<\/b><\/p>\n

Dunn: So you are one of, if not the youngest Jockey in the SIM. What is that like?<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica: \u00a0Well first of all I have to thank Mike for sneaking me into the SIM at such a young age. You can’t legally become a Racing Jockey in America until you are sixteen so to get my start at thirteen is certainly an advantage. For the most part the other Jockeys are respectful but I have had to prove myself and earn that respect. But I don’t think that is any different than anyone else. At the end of the day, it isn’t about age but about ability and so far I have proven that I belong.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dunn: How do you balance your career and school? Are you going to go to your prom?<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica: \u00a0It isn’t easy to juggle my work and studies. I go to the track early in the morning and put my work in and then head to school. I try to do as much homework as I can during my lunch break and after school I head back to the track to work more horses or to race.\u00a0 At night I get my homework done and then try to get a little sleep before the routines starts again the next day. I try to live as normal a life as possible when I am at school so yes I will go to the prom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn: How did you choose this for your career? There aren’t many girls your age that are Jockeys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica: \u00a0My Dad is actually a trainer so I grew up at the track and around horses and Jockeys. He started me riding when I was really young and saw that I had a natural talent for it. As I matured my body type was also right for the sport as I am only just five feet tall and have no trouble keeping my weight around the optimum one-hundred and ten pounds. I love horses first and most importantly and really try to develop a relationship with each horse I ride. I am also really adventurous by nature so I love the challenge and thrill of each race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn: Do you see yourself following in your Dad’s footsteps someday?<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica: I have thought about it definitely. I want to have a long career as a Jockey though so I will do this for as long as I can. It’s hard to make too many plans for the future so I don’t try to think about it too much. I don’t know what my family life will look like, my health….just so many unknowns so for now I just take it one day at a time and enjoy where I am today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn: Do you have a favorite horse that you have worked with over the years?<\/span><\/p>\n

Monica: Yes I do and its interesting because his name is WATERANDOILDONT mix. I am not an artist but with the art connection to today’s show and the names of the horses we are riding I am sure that is probably an accurate statement that water paint and oil paint don’t mix. Anyway, he is a really great horse out of the cbrady barn and breeder buzz. We’ve been working together for a couple of months and we had a third place finish at the “ASR Son of Dirt Stakes” on Tibbs Eve.\u00a0 He had a tough trip his last time out but I wasn’t aboard so that hurt his chances. Just kidding, hopefully cbrady will give me another start with him soon though.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dunn: It has been great getting to know you today Monica. Have fun at the prom and continued success in your career. Thanks for being my guest today. Are you ready for some Milk?<\/span><\/p>\n
