April 25, 2017 - Lexington, Kentucky, U.S. - Students in the jockey program at the North American Racing Academy participate in the Racehorse Riding Skills I class at the Thoroughbred Training Center. The two-year NARA program at Bluegrass Community & Technical College, the first and only accredited community college-based racing school in the U.S, provides students with the education, training and experience needed to become skilled in the art of riding a racehorse, proficient in the care and management of racehorses and knowledgeable about the workings of the thoroghbred industry. .Students can choose to focus on one of two specific pathways - jockey or horseman. The jockey candidates learn principles of balance, proper position and use of the rider's body when riding or exercising a racehorse and the lifeskills necessary to be a professional jockey. In addition to riding-based classes, students take part in the core curriculum of basic horse care, anatomy and physiology, lameness, health and nutrition and equine business principles. Students who graduate from the horseman pathway will have acquired the knowledge and skills for a career in the equine workforce such as grooms, assistant trainers, farm management and bloodstock agents.(Credit Image: © Brian Cahn via ZUMA Wire)
