How Horses Learn - Hall of Fame Jockey Julie Krone
Have you ever wondered how smart horses are? Well, in this episode of Race Horses, etc. we will hear from one of the greatest riders and horse communicators of all time - Hall of Fame jockey Julie Krone! Julie explains in step by step fashion just how horses learn.
Julie loves horses more than almost anyone I know, and that’s part of the magic of watching her ride. Whether it was during the morning workouts under the towing pine trees in Saratoga Springs, NY or in the gritty stretch run under the stadium lights at Garden State Park Julie was in it for all the right reasons.
She basks in the joy of relating to horses and bringing out the best in them. And in her illustrious career she did just that!

While Julie’s riding career was replaced many years ago with raising her creative and dynamic daughter Lorelei, Julie is finding her way back to racing in an entirely new way.
In her new career Julie will represent Ferrin Peterson, a 7-pound apprentice, as her coach and jockey agent. We will hear more about Ferrin in the podcast, including the fact that the dedicated 7-pound apprentice just happens to be a veterinarian!
And Julie will share more of her favorite memories from her illustrious career including a pow wow with Allen Jerkens over riding strategy, and how she taught an extremely playful horse to be a race horse in the post parade, showing just how quickly horses can learn.
Thanks for tuning in! And please leave a comment. I am so happy to share this fun conversation with you!
All the best,
Carolyn
