Jane Buchanan

How long have you worked for Herringswell Stables?  Since May 2012.

How did you become involved with horses?  My family has always owned horses and my dad bought me a pony before I was born so it was inevitable.

What was your first racing-related job? Does mucking out or riding out count? Otherwise first official position was at Darley in Newmarket upon completion of the British Horse Racing Board graduate programme.

What is your favorite racing memory? Lots of memories but a personal favorite was watching Miss Katie Mae, whom I purchased as a yearling for American owners, break her maiden at the Curragh as a 2-year-old beating the highly touted and subsequent GI winning filly, Ballydoyle.  

Any other fond memories?  The multiple racing trips I have made with friends to racetracks all over the world. The best of racing with the best of friends.
