    "We can adjust our stirrups at the trot" I can barely adjust mine when I'm off my horse and it takes me a good 10 minutes.... lol i wish I could do that.

Its good to see a video like this as many people are to quick to judge racing. You will always get a few bad apples in all industries. Where I live rehoming racehorses is a big thing and some even go into other sports which im really happy about. Thanks again, this has really lifted my spirits! 😘

    Cool video.... I ride work in Australia and we do things quite differently on our racehorses... we mostly use a breastplate and surcingle and our track pads look different too they are more forward cut than yours... I also rode racehorses in the uk and that was different again! But similar in that they adjusted their irons and girth once up in the saddle and they also started with bridle first and tacked up in the box... i love seeing how things are done all over the world....

    Do you use defenders at all harness horses use them a lot as they hit a wall of sound going past the grandstand and because of the distance of most harness races they are nearly twice as long as gallops so they go past twice and spooking while pulling a sullied is more dangerous than on a galloping horse as the shafts don’t move withe horse

    Hi Shelby! Where did you learn to exercise RaceHorses professionally? And do yards seem to prefer those who've had more growing up experience with horses?
    This is my absolute dream job to achieve here in Ireland, but, not having much experience with riding, not coming from a horse interested family, having to learn to take care of TB's myself, I can hardly ride, let alone riding Racehorses, is there any advice you can give to get into the industry?

      Paints Galore2006 blinkers and blinders are the exact same thing same with bibs and training forks. Just different words for the same thing, they are called synonyms so no need to correct anyone but just because you prefer a different word

I love sharing things with you guys but am not comfortable with the idea of my job being discussed and reposted on someone else’s channel. This is a business and these horses are not mine. Please be respectful or ill remove the video.

      Shelby Dennis I merely meant that he is so against racing, it would be interesting how he could fault this (except for use of bits,etc) as it is clear that you love the horses. It would've shown him another section of the racing industry, perhaps change his judgements. But I would not send this or any video to him, as I understand the level of hate that comes with it from his followers.

      Emily Equestrian Any type of riding puts more strain on the horse than would being a pasture pet, so the hypocrisy in the fact that you’re evidently a rider is a bit silly. The Jockey Club has easy to access stats that will confirm how low the breakdown rates are for you if you’re confused.

    • @Milestone-Equestrian
      @Milestone-Equestrian  6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Holly Flynn It’s just you because if we’re not breezing them there’s absolutely no reason to shorten your base of support on such a spooky track. Stirrup length is a preference, not something that is dictated. No one here rides anywhere near as short as they would in town. Have you ever galloped before? Not sure how this is at all “the wrong position” since I’m up off their back, just not folded over in a breezing position. Please elaborate.

    • @ptbracing6578
      @ptbracing6578 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Shelby Dennis yes I have galloped ,I work on a racing yard and we always wear our stirrups at a length just shorter than we are normally used to then we get used to it and in the position I would want to be a bit lower down and a bit more in control

    • @Milestone-Equestrian
      @Milestone-Equestrian  6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Holly Flynn This length is shorter than a regular riding length. I find it very strange that if you’ve galloped before, you’d fold over and recommend getting lower when you’re not working them. I am completely in control. No one, including the #1 jockey in my province who helped to train me, gets in a lower position like you’re recommending unless they’re asking the horse to move out. That is how you’d lose control. Who do you gallop for? I find it very strange that you’d recommend a low position “for more control” on relaxed horses who are not working.

    • @Apassion4horses
      @Apassion4horses 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Holly Flynn stirrup length is all about preference you can ride as long or short as you want as long as you want. I prefer short but people at my yard ride long too.
