Women Trotting Drivers?
Sir,—l have been working with horses all my life and eight months ago I left school to work in a trotting stable. I have thus gained invaluable experience, including driving horses. I know many girls who can drive horses as well as any man, but their talent is wasted. We stable girls have no real future in comparison with men who are able to drive in races. Is it not about time the Trotting Conference agreed to at least one race a year for women drivers? If we are given a driving chance we will show them what we are worth.— Yours, etc., HOBBLES. July 3, 1969.
