Question for Ed Hess or anyone else

Question
I can see that know your stuff on horses, you even said you trained for thirty years. I currently live about ten miles east of Santa Anita Park. At the ages of 12 to 18 i lived in a dairy farm, had lots of pets, (mainly poultry) i used to raise roosters for reasons animal lover don't like to hear about. I also raise calves twice. On vacations from school i would work at the Dairy Farms in relief of the workers that were on vacation. Since i can remember I've been fascinated with horse racing but never had any support/connection to the racing industry. I live in the city now so I've lost all interaction with farm animals. My question is... Do you have any connections near Santa Anita Park that are as willing to teach/mentor someone like me?

Answer
hi i do not have any connections at Santa AnIta, but i am sure if you would go to the track and look to see if anyone needs any help, you would prob get a job. if you really want to work with horses, you will find a way to get into the business. you could also go to a training farm and look for work. hope that helps you.  thanks ED HESS
