McCann sets

watch by riding

responsibilities

Irish native Charlie McCann, a freelance horseman based in Marshall, divides his riding time between exercising racing thoroughbreds, breaking young horses and training hunters for field and show. His daily schedule is extensive, his timetable virtually nonstop. Here is a sample day:

• 5 a.m. - Alarm rings. (“I can never hit the snooze - too much risk I’d fall back asleep.”) • 6 a.m. - After light breakfast of toast and tea, out the door to trainer Richard Cockrill’s farm in Purcellville. • 6:30 a.m. - Get on first of five or six horses in training for a morning gallop.
