Trainer Profile

Name : Jo Foster
Date of birth : 11-01-73
Address : Brookleigh Farm, Menston. Ilkley

Training history and successes: I was awarded my full training license in 2006 after training Pointers for 10 years. I saddled Nounou to win a maiden hurdle race at Cartmel (6/1) in June of that year, my first winner with a  full license. I have also trained over 50 point to point winners inc the Top Northern 6YO 2004, Top Yorkshire horse 2002 and 2003, 2004 and the winners of Hunter Chases, I had my 1st runner in the Foxhunters at Aintree over the Grand National Fences in 2006, with Ikdam Melody.

And as an amateur Jockey: 
Over 50 winners Point to Pointing inc 5 wins NH / Flat Racing
Champion Yorkshire Lady Jockey 2002, 2003, 2004 and now 2009!!
2nd in National Ladies Championship 2003
12th in Aintree Foxhunters 2006

A winner at Wetherby

Yard facilities inc: a 4F grass gallop, horse walker, schooling fences, sand lunging pens, nearby swimming pool / therapy centre etc at the yard and within hacking distance 2 x 8f all weather gallops, all horses' needs are well catered for.
Aims : To train winners and make as many owners winning ones as possible. If everyone could experience even 1 winner that I trained, I would feel I had achieved something. To experience that feeling for the first time is unmeasurable and unforgettable! I’d love to train a runner in the Grand National Winner. Young horses are an area we specialise in, particularly breaking and sales preperation. I enjoy producing top quality youngstock from foals and have a few broodmares.

What can i offer you?
Professionalism - we are a small, dedicated yard with a hard working team. We work closely together to get the most out of every horse

Individualism -we give every horse the time and particular work they each require, rather than them being just a number in a box. Everyone is looking for something particular when owning a racehorse and it is my job to ensure you get the most from that when part of our yard.

Truth - regarding your horses ability, it is no good you thinking you have a world beater when you haven’t. I will keep you informed with the truth so you are not led up the garden path

Fun and involvement - one of the most important aspects of my job is to ensure you enjoy being an owner. It is a wonderful sport with so much excitement and involvement. It has its ups and downs but we all love a winner
