SHOW NOTESINTRODUCING KOLBE JONES!The world of horse racing is not one that I get to learn about very often, so today's interview is a real treat.  Kolbe Jones has been raised around horse racing.  His father is very involved, and spends a lot of time out of state working in the horse racing industry.  Kolbe and his brother join him on the weekends to work on their business.When Kolbe was seven years old he started filling water buckets at the race track for $0.25 per bucket.  He has been learning the business ever since.  Today he and his brother are partners on a business breeding and selling race horses.  They raise Quarter Horses for racing purposes.  Currently they own four of their own.They have a unique business arrangement with their father.  Kolbe works to pay back the training fees on his horses.  And, if one of their horses wins they split the winnings with their father as reimbursement for feed, transportation, etc.There is an interesting process at the race track when it comes to how jockeys are assigned to a horse.  Kolbe explains that and more on today's episode.SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE: Equine EntrepreneurshipHIGH SCHOOL: Diamond High School; Diamond, MissouriMASCOT: WildcatsFFA ADVISOR: Sadie SteeleCONTACT INFORMATION FOR KOLBE JONES:Click on the picture below to be taken to the Diamond High School Ag.
