He feeds, grooms and rides three horses. He loves his job and hopes to become a professional jockey someday. His grandad started him off in the business after he left school. He enjoyed the work so he did a course at the British Racing School and they found him a job in a yard in Newmarket. You have to like getting up early for this type of work because it starts just after six in the morning. There are low points like injuries to a horse or rider, but the high points make it all worthwhile. "One of my horses won at Royal Ascot this year, which was an amazing feat, absolutely brilliant."
