| I've recently had one of my good friends jockey my mare as I have been very busy. I've liked the idea of her jockeying her for a while now and have decided to have her run her more in future. What I'd like to know is how everyone splits their winnings, awards, etc. I typically pay for the entries. But I know she would like to rodeo on her in the future and she would be covering that and most of the bigger races since her horse is currently layed-up. How does everyone work this kind of situation out? |

Location: Texas | I ride a friends ranch gelding that is EXTREMELY fast!! And we have it worked out to where if he pays the entry fee he gets 50% of what I win and if I pay the entry fee he gets 25% of what I win. When the gelding is able to start training/running ( he hurt his leg ;(. ) again I will start going out there ( I go out there all the time bc his daughter and I are really good friends) and working the gelding. We already have it worked out so when I go for the NFR I can run his gelding!!! I hope this helps!! |

Location: Around here somewhere... | How we do it is whoever pays the entry fee gets that paid back from the earnings, and what's left over is split 50/50. All prizes other than cash belong to the rider. This is how we do it whether we are the jockey or the horse owner. |

This is what I always did when I was jockeying. |

Location: Wherever the Army sends my husband | I had a girl ride and haul my mare when I had to leave state for a few months. She paid for entries and gas I would let her keep anything she won. I just wanted photos and documentation to show what my mare had won. |

Every horse I have rode for other people the owner came to me. I rode a 1d/pro rodeo horse for a friend bc she had a baby and didn't have time to race and she didn't want him just sitting so she asked me if I wanted to run him.
The ranch gelding the owner was thinking about selling him and asked me to exhibition him. He decided not to sell him and asked me to run him. He lets people ride him but he says him and I are the only ones who can truly ride him. He tells his girlfriend everytime I run his horse that I make him nervous bc his horse does not have a stop! |
