UK: BRAIN FOOD - Unlikely managers - Racehorse trainer, Felstead Court, Lambourne, Berkshire.

Name: Merrita Jones

When did you become a manager? In 1993, when I was granted a public training licence by the Jockey Club.

What does management mean to you? Every day is unpredictable. We're working with thoroughbred horses and anything can happen. My main task is to develop a happy working environment for the staff and horses: on the whole, horses are easier to manage than people.
