Deborah Butler Author

Deborah Butler worked for many years as a ‘lad’ in the horseracing industry. She currently divides her time between working as a researcher at the University of Warwick for Warwick Manufacturing Group, as well as continuing to work in her spare time as a ‘lad’, riding out racehorses for a local racehorse trainer. Her background is in sociology although her research into Indentured and Modern Apprenticeship in the Horseracing Industry – A Gendered Analysis was interdisciplinary, drawing on social history, anthropology and sociology.
