I ride National Hunt horses for a living, they're the most amazing bravest horses I've ever had the pleasure of riding. My love of them came from my retired ex racer, who's 21 this year, and still not a lame step in his life. And honestly I've seen far far less deaths than in Livery/Lesson yards, I saw ponies locked up every day die constantly from colic and chronic lameness at my old livery. Lesson horses getting kicked and whipped with crops, WAY nastier than race whips, and the instructors didn't do anything about it and encouraged being aggressive to get the horse to do what you wanted, and dead to aids horses getting their ribs absolutely kicked in. The vices were unreal. :c The difference riding an active Racehorse was amazing, especially when they knew they were about to go do some canter work, they were always so ready and happy, ears pricked you had to hold them back, and learn to be quiet on them, while the lesson ponies they taught you nothing but how to be a harsh rider, you forced the horse to comply, while riding out a Racehorse? You have to talk to them and converse with them and ASK them to slow down, because if they want to, they put their head down, grab the bit and WILL run off with you if you don't meet them halfway. But for real though, they WAY prefer the banks, the hedges and the hurdles over showjumps anyday, it's nice over Showjumping too because you rarely adjust their stride, you let the horse do what he knows best and they will very rarely fail you. And the way they always want to go fast fast fast but you have to hold them back to a controlled canter and be like "NOPE" and they have a tantrum because they want to go. LOL 4 days a a week they go into the forest to pop a few XC jumps and fallen logs and hacked out, 3 days a week they're cantered/schooled. Our oldest racer in the yard is nearly 14 and STILL won a race this year, he's amazing.
Some horses do like racing, but does that make it safe for them? No. Also, some horses get drugged and beat to go faster, which you can see in this video and other videos. The horses barely know the horses they’re racing with and therefore won’t know what tics the other off. Racing is a HUGE safety hazard. I’ve seen videos where the horse took one misplaced step and their leg was just hanging there and flopping around. So very sad.
So guys I DONT train race horses BUT I do train ex-race horses but one day this horse came in and I said “can I see what he does” that was a mistake because we have giant arena and he ran it in less the minute and a half. And well now he’s my best barrel racing horse and he’s almost 19 years (we got him when he was fourteen) you can ask questions if you want!
Before I commented there was 69 comments but with that aside look I absolutely like 100% hate hate hate horse racing due to all that happens but good edit
Yay! I 💟💟💟💟 this! And the song! And the horse racing💝💝 HORSE RACING IS MY LIFE! 💖🏇 Do u ride? Whats ur fav discipline? Luv ur channel! Also I'm the only comment rn😂
Thank you for commenting!😁 My favourite disciplines are show jumping, horse racing, dressage, and cross country. Yes I ride, in a year's time I'll go to an equestrian secondary school. I will learn there riding instructor profession. After that, probably I get place in a jockey school too (but it's just a plus).
@@ihz8527 yay, you answered!☺️ I love horse racing, XC, and showjumping too! I wanna be a Jockey so I'll go to jockey school, too. Thx 4 answering I'm gonna subscribe!! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😋
@@ihz8527 I've been riding since I was 4, I'm currently 12 but my instructor has taught me things that are nothing like the disciplines and I think it's a bit strange but fun
Hey, where did you get the clips for the first part where the jockeys are getting ready? I'd love to be able to include these in my next edit! By the way, this is absolutely amazing, I love it!! 😍♥️
@@Mossssssssssssssssssssssssssss I agree, depends on the owner, trainer and jockey as well as the horse. If the horse enjoys it and the ppl aren’t abusive, it’s fine :)
@@ismayboer411 horses break there legs feet,etc so many horses die from horse racing if they get lame *hurt* they sometimes just send them away and don’t care what happens
@@chilidog15yearsago26 It is also a sport enjoyed frequently by the wealthy and sometimes even by royalty. But for all its trappings of refinement, eventing is perhaps the most dangerous sport in the Summer Olympics-to both horse and rider. The slightest miscalculation in the cross country can cost them a medal, and possibly their lives. xc is just as bad also most people dont send them away they just get retired and live happily for the rest of there lives
I love racing, it’s so misunderstood, yes horses can die from it, but they can die from anything it’s just not heard about, race horses are treated like princess
If they’re treating like “princesses and princes” why do they get abused, drugged, have tongue ties in their mouths, get champagne force feed to them, get repeatedly whipped, etc. I could literally go on and ON 🤦🏻♀️
@@brantleighd7070 because not ALL get that. I am a jockey myself and Ive seen everything. On the 14 places I've raced in my country only 1 was reported to have drugging and abusing on horses. The place was taken down amd the horse owner put to jail

Some horses actually like racing, c:
It depend where they are! Some horses get drugged to go faster.. some of it’s sad but there’s better places too!
@@Peyts18 barely any get drugged
To an extent steeplechase’s are just horrible I support normal racing but not the steeplechase’s
