Answer
Dear Randall,
This question format is borderline rude and difficult to follow. You have a professional venture on your hands with opportunity for a valued experience. I suggest you take it seriously, which includes your current research format for making plans.
Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA)provides a non-profit resource for new Thoroughbred owners. This is the national membership of all Thoroughbred owners, who with other sponsors, fund an educational program and resources for new owners. Her plans should be based on your goals, do you want to preserve her for her future for you as a broodmare, do you want to race her at racetracks that are close to your home base so you can see her? These questions should be answered before selecting a trainer, then you could narrow your selection to a few trainers who maintain operations in the southmidwest and southwest. Then you might talk to a few of them and get a feel for your rapport as this is important. Then the trainer you like would be the best person to advise you of the breaking process for your young filly.
You may pose additional questions to me anytime, and I think you will find the TOBA.org information helpful.
Please consider sentence structure and punctuation as well as possible in the future, and certainly avoid any expletives, as I will not respond to questions like that in the future. Best wishes, Lora
