About Miles Henry

Hi, I’m Miles Henry. My love for horses began in childhood, watching local Quarter Horse races with my grandfather in Louisiana. What started as simple admiration grew into a lifelong passion for horse care, training, and racing. Today, that passion drives everything I do, from managing my racehorses to sharing expert insights through HorseRacingSense.com.

My Experience with Horses

  • Extensive Hands-On Experience: With over 25 years of experience owning and training horses, I have worked with Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, and Appaloosas.
  • Diverse Equine Background: My experience spans various disciplines, including racing Quarter Horses, barrel racing, training Thoroughbreds, trail riding, working with ponies, and using horses for cattle work and hunting.
  • Racehorse Ownership and Training: As a licensed racehorse owner, I manage all aspects of the racing business, from training to competition.
  • Breeding and Sales: I have raised horses and purchased them from private sellers, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse yearling auctions, and mixed-sale auctions.
  • Current Operations: I currently manage nine Thoroughbreds in training at the Folsom, Louisiana, Training Center, each progressing through different stages of their racing careers.

My Philosophy on Horses

Every horse has a story, and it’s our responsibility to listen and adapt our care to help them reach their full potential. For me, horse racing and care is more than a business—it’s a way of life. I believe in lifelong learning and continually adapting to meet each horse’s unique needs. My goal is to share practical insights from my 25+ years of experience to help other horse enthusiasts navigate the world of horse care and racing.
