Being kept in a concrete box all the time is so good for them! They get food, water, brushings and rides. They don’t have to socialize because what the hell is a herd animal? The basics to survive are all anything needs to be well cared for 😊 This is sarcasm. This horse’s life sucks. Who cares if the people like it and it makes everything look nice and easy? What does a horse care about looking nice or being kept in a little box that likely smells strongly of ammonia and feces (because even though you clean it once a day, it still smells really strong!) How would you like to be kept in a completely brick room where you don’t have anything to do or have anyone to talk to? This is literally prison but for animals. Think about it. A single cell, food twice a day, no free time to do what you like, nothing to look at but the same little courtyard and the same four walls, nothing to smell but saw dust and ammonia and feces, and the only time you get to exercise is when you’re working.

A great video and good teaching method of a day's care of a racehorse. However, you stated you always remember the lesson of bridle last on and first off, 9:15 mark, yet take the saddle off first at the 11:39 mark.
Yes I kept the bridle on to wash him off and forgot to mention it at the time. When we don’t hose them off we go straight back in to their stable and let them down.

@@Training_Racehorses thanks alot I'm planning on getting a thoroughbred stallion in the future as well and you've set the standard in terms of how one should be taken care of
Even though my horse isn’t a race horse, I still give a good care of him He’s a Thoughrobred He’s a black gelding with a blaze on his face. I do this whole routine but I fully empty the nastiness in his shoes and hooves. I clean my saddle bridle weeklyand make sure there is no effect on my saddle pad that could itch or poke him. He’s too sweet to be itched or poked
Preparation is everything for racehorses. I've seen Aidan O'Brien giving a horse a final prep mini groom before a race. The horse was calm and relaxed. I think it won. It's in the detail.
@@Training_Racehorses hi 😃 really good thank you ! I really enjoyed the video ! I have started training and racing my own horse here Tauranga New Zealand.

@@bernesemuir8022 That’s brilliant, there is nothing more rewarding than doing it for yourself! If your horse is good enough it’s just a matter of getting them in peak condition and finding the right race, I’m sure you’ll be in the winners enclosure soon. Good luck!
@@Training_Racehorsesthank you, ive subscribed too your channel and will watch ur videos follow you, and ill comment if we get in the winners circle 😊😊😊
My OTTB does that same stomp thing thus horse dud halfway through video and only when I go to his back right side he’s been checked and cleared he is on the best gut health supplement I have his environment fit for him i was told he does it from previously possibly having ulcers from being on the track but I just wish I knew exactly what to do to help him heal from that trauma he’s getting his first adjustment Monday I’m hoping with more time I’ll be able to figure it out
Sometimes they just develop habits and it doesn't have to mean anything. You've crealy looked into it and found nothing so if he's happy then don't worry about it.
At Saratoga- and maybe all?- racetrack, the horses get washed down immediately after they race, right on the track. Besides putting on a nice show for us, I assume there are practical/medical reasons for this? To get the sweat and dirt off right away? any other reasons? The horses seem to like it
Great vid...shout if you ever need any help on the yard or leading up at the races...happy to travel up from Epsom for the odd day...it would be an honour. All the best for the future
No, they often get to socialise in the paddocks together and a lot of yards have stables that face each other so they can see the other horses. A horse’s form suffers dramatically when they are overworked so they definitely aren’t trained to exhaustion, that would be counterproductive. Most race horses find a loving home after racing where they do a host of things from eventing to being a cherished pet. Unfortunately there are some people who do send them for slaughter but thankfully those people are in the minority and any owner who sends them horses to train also has blood on their hands.
Well spotted, it's only a matter of second here. In the old days we used to tie the horses back to the wall whilst taking their tack off and doing them up so you would take the bridle off and then put the headcollar back on. Then you would take the saddle off.
Love the video!but I have a question I know a lot about horses but not racehorses why can I see his ribs a little ?please don’t take that as a mean comment I’m just asking!thank you
No you’re right to notice, I like to see them with a bit more condition on them but unfortunately he’s naturally quite light because he’s pretty hyper active. This video was made a year ago and he has filled out a little bit but he has won 5 races since then so he’s obviously in good order.
For those wondering why the horse is so thin, It’s actually normal! Thoroughbreds tend to look like this at a young age. Ave age of riding thoroughbreds are 3!
Personally I prefer to see them with a bit of condition but they’re all different and Freddie always looks a bit light because he’s a stayer and he can be quite hyperactive. It’s just like long distance runners, they have a much lighter frame than sprinters.
Hiiii :D I'm just curious but why do his hip bones and ribs show so much? Is it just the breed or is it just because he has to be kind of on the skinnier side since he's a race horse? No hate what so ever, I'm just curious :)
That depends on how many lots you have. Our stable has someone who grooms the horse while the rider is out riding another horse, then a quick change round.
I’m like you, I prefer to see them with a bit of condition but they’re all different and Freddie always looks a bit light because he’s a stayer and he can be quite hyperactive. Ideally I like to just be able to see 3 or 4 ribs but the main thing is that they are fit and well in themselves.
I know nothing about horses nor have I ever been interested in horses or racing. TH-cam randomly recommended me some horse video and I went down the rabbit hole of horses and horse racing. Having said that I have a bio and psych degree, went to med school, and an expert in exercising (not bro science, but actual scientifically based exercising techniques and methodologies). All I have to say about training methodologies and choosing a race horse is that it’s all a bunch of baloney. You guys are living in the dark ages. There is no science involved at all. Choosing a horse goes more or less: that horse looks fast and confident. Training is 20% being brushed and the rest running. Horse racing involves hundreds of millions of dollars so real training methodologies should be considered. Firstly, you need to properly be able to communicate with the horse and he back to you. If you can teach a cat to correctly use ~60 push to talk buttons correctly, you could teach a horse way more. You may think that you understand horses and he you, but you don’t, not as effectively as you could. Plus, learning words means the horse’s understanding increases and perception changes. Language will literally make the horse smarter and you will be able to actually tell it exactly what you want him to do. Secondly, where is the weight/resistance training. Where?! There’s none of it from what I’ve seen. All top olympic runners do a ton of weight training, focusing on specific muscles. Did you know that your psoas major muscle is the greatest indicator of how fast you can run? Olympic athletes have psoas major muscle that is twice as big as your average gym goer. Even someone who looks very athletic won’t have anywhere near as big of a psoas major muscle as a sprinter unless they know about sprint biomechanics and actively focus on strengthening that muscle through very specific exercises (no, sprinting alone is nowhere near as effective as resistance training). Now I know what you’re thinking, what are you going to do, create a horse gym lol? Obviously you can’t do that. You can though attach close fitted weights to the horse while running, use sprinting parachutes, hell even have the horse plow to build up his strength. If you also teach your horse to communicate you could even get him to understand what you’re doing enough to get him to use resistance bands. You can also have the horses run up and down hills (this can also fix some running technique problems). Thirdly running technique. The very large majority of people don’t know how to run. Even most runners don’t know proper technique. You can take someone and fix their running technique and have them be 1+ second faster in a 100m sprint, even more so for longer distances. I believe it’s the same for horses or really any animal. That’s why some horses look elegant when galloping, they have proper technique. Having said that, it can always improve. There was an asian olympic sprinter that who already fast and with impeccable technique, changed his stride slightly and which foot he started on and became significantly faster. Even with his terrible body proportions for sprinting, his improved technique has made him one of the best and the best asian sprinter in history. So basically, I am willing to bet that you can take a horse that doesn’t look fast and fix his technique and he will be faster than a horse that has naturally good technique. To do this though, you need to actually be able to communicate with your horse effectively which is why the first point I made is the most important. Lastly, how horses are chosen. Frankly, it’s a joke. If you’ve ever watched the movie moneyball it’s very reminiscent of the beginning scene of where they’re trying to decide who to draft and they’re talking about how one player shouldn’t be drafted because his gf is ugly and it means he lacks confidence and therefore won’t be a good baseball player. You can’t just look at a horse and think he looks fast. Sure that is definitely significant, but not everything. Let’s bring up the asian sprinter again. Whether people want to admit it or not, anatomy is a massive decider on specific athletic abilities. We see this in people. For example, most top runners are african american. That’s because on average they have a higher navel when compared to caucasians and asians. This means they have longer legs and smaller torsos, meaning longer strides, meaning more potential when it comes to running. Do you measure horse’s limbs? Do your measure their muscle attachment points? Muscle attachments also make a massive difference. Sprinters have a high calf muscle attachment. If you don’t have high calf muscles chances of you being a top sprinter after proper training and technique is basically zero. What about lung capacity? Do you check lung capacity of horses? That’s also a massive indicator of athletic potential. Blood tests for lactic acid production/breakdown/tolerance? Another massive indicator. All in all, after learning a little bit about horse training and racing, I truly believe that current horse racing all comes down to natural talent. Even when a horse has all the attributes to be much better, there is no proper training to bring them to light. All of this is so rudimentary. I highly suggest instead of solely focusing on horses you expand your knowledge in techniques used by current professional athletes, learn about physiology, anatomy, and psychology to improve training and the picking of a proper horse. I am willing to bet that if you took an average fast horse you can make him into a champ by proper resistance and technique training alone.

Ever night I dream of being a jokey and I've got an extremely fast 13.3
It is but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it, it just means you have to work at it really hard over a long period of time.
Now imagine a horse from an alternate universe that has nothing but horses on the planet watching TV and seeing this shit
Awesome
Just one question,why is the horse so skinny just asking
Personally I prefer to see them with a bit of condition but they’re all different and Freddie always looks a bit light because he’s a stayer and he can be quite hyperactive.
It’s just like long distance runners, they have a much lighter frame than sprinters.
The same reason you see the ribs on track or cross country athletes (humans). They're fit.
Wow ❤
Hiiii :D I'm just curious but why do his hip bones and ribs show so much? Is it just the breed or is it just because he has to be kind of on the skinnier side since he's a race horse? No hate what so ever, I'm just curious :)
Hi, he runs over long distances and he’s a young horse. It’s just like with humans, the long distance runners are much leaner than sprinters.
perfect but the horse seems abit under waite but i did not see the full pic so i dont know i ride to
Racehorses aren't underweight, they're fit. If a horse is underweight, how would he be able to run?
Shiny horsie
Mantep 👍👍👍 thanks 👍👍👍
you took the bridle of last thought it was the first thing that came off i know it was the last thing you put on may be i am wrong
Yes it is but I’d have struggled to hose him down with no bridle on 🤷🏼♂️
Your way isn't the only way. One day you just might work with a horse that needs a method different than yours.
