Finding Good Horse Racing Trainers

Finding Good Horse Racing Trainers

by Kristen Baird

Equestrian sports have never been so popular. Each year more and more people join the ranks of race goers and enjoy the thrill of watching these majestic animals race. In addition, there is the fun of placing a bet and cheering on the horses as the reach the finish line. Even if they loose every race there is always another day to look forward to.

Most race horses are Thoroughbreds. This means they can trace their lineage back many generations and <A href="http://www.mogerracing.com">horse racing trainers</A> know which blood lines to look for. Horses are like people, they pass on their physical and emotional qualities to their offspring. Animals with a great blood line command the highest prices. Most race horses are sold at auction as yearlings or two year old's.

In many parts of the country horses race in trotting or pacing contests. These animals are trained to maintain their gait whilst pulling a light weight cart controlled by a jockey. It takes a lot of skill to prevent an exuberant animal from breaking its pace and cantering. In addition the jockey must know exactly where to place himself in order to make a run for the finish line.

Thoroughbreds are carefully bred from the best blood lines. Finding horses that are from winning lines is fairly easy, however, most will come with a hefty price tag. It is a good idea to look at young unproven animals as they will be priced lower. Once the horses have won a few races or shown good potential their price shoots up dramatically.

After doing their homework properly a new owner should have a good idea about who they want to train their horses. They can then set up a meeting at the stable. This will give them an opportunity to see all the facilities. Most places now have an all weather gallop which means that horses can keep training no matter what the weather.

Every horse is different and some seem to take to the track like ducks to water. Horses naturally love to run and some seem to have a very competitive nature. This will serve them well once they get to their first race.

Personality really does matter in the racing game. It is important to have a really good connection with the trainer. After all this is the person trusted with the well being of a very valuable animal.

Before putting a horse into training a client should consider the costs. It is important to have a clear discussion with the trainer to understand everything that will be involved. For example, veterinarian and farrier fees are usually extra. Along with race registration and transport costs. However, as the horse crosses the finish line in first place, every penny will be worth it.
