Define training...most folks start at birth, handling the foal..halter training etc....but I think they start racing at 2yrs  of course that means the 2nd Jan1st after their birth because that is how they r classified....if your horse is born Dec 31 he is considered 1 yr old the next day... so they try to breed for a Jan /Feb birth so they will have some age on them

The horse needs to stay calm and relaxed. No energy can be used due to nerves or excitement. Race is on the track not in the barn. You do not feed the horse after 7 AM-no treats/no carrots, nothing. No morning workout the day before or race day, any and all races. Racehorses are the sole responsibility of the trainer even though the backbone of the racing industry is the owner of the horse...no owner-... no horse, no jockey, no trainer, no ferrier, etc. It all starts with the owner.\n\nFilms must be ordered, veternarians must examine the horse and, if need be, segregate the horse after a shot of lasix  has been administered. No visitors allowed in the backstretch, expecially near the horses readying to race. Security is tight. The groom and the hot-walker are usually the same person, so as to have the horse be in familiar hands when not racing. \n\nHorses are very sensitive to colic and must be well rested and not "blowing" hard after the race before they can drink or eat. Most trainers will not allow any visitors in the barn who are not specifically authorized, before or after any race to prevent the horse from becoming excited and injure himself in the stall. Visitors can excite the horses or give him treats which may comprimise any additive or medication given the horse.\n\nKentucky Derby day is very hectic and everybody wants to win as to bring in maximum amount of revenue for breeding purposes. Most kentucky Derby winners will start at $100,000 to cover a broodmare, once the horse has been retired. So, with 50-75 owners of broodmares ready to have their broodmares impregnated with the male sperm of the winner of the Kentucky Derby, multiply that income each year for twenty years. The income to the owner of a Kentucky Derby can be substantial over the years. Those figures are in place every year and skyrocket to $300,00-$500,000 if the winner of the Kentucky Derby produces a young colt who also wins the Kentucky Derby. \n\nOnce a horse enters the breeding shed he no longer races. It has been tried, to bring horses back into racing, but the horses are usually older and don't fair well once retired and returned to the track.\n\nIn essence, to have a horse even race in the Kentucky can be very lucrative for the owner, even if the horse comes last!...All in all, the security surounding the horses, any horse race is tight, to prevent the horse from injuring himself, other horses and the jockeys from a spill during the race. Not good for the horse/jockey and BAAAAD public relations for the track and the industry as a whole...\n\nTo get the pedigree of a racehorse, you need to obtain the letters and numbers tattoed on the inside of the upper lip. Sometimes it is very difficult to see the number. Use a high digital camera, 4 MP or larger, cover the horses eyes so as not to frieghten the horse, and take a flash-photo, once the upper lip is rolled back. Enhance that photo of the inside of the horses lip, where the number is located, onto a computer screen and retrieve it. Check with any equine veternarian within your state, as to how to check the pedigree once you have retrieved the number.\n\nAt the sales/auctions the pedigree is listed in the catologue that is given out for free at the entrance to anyone who is interested, as sometimes, horses may not have a tattoo because they may never have raced or are too young, yearling. But, most racehorses are tattooed early in life. It is very difficult to retrieve any information, pedigree/race record/injuries/etc., without that tattoo, on the inside of the upper lip, especially in older horses, unless papers are offered at the time of purchase. Certain features may depict a type of pedigree, i.e., large head may indicate a Bold Ruler progeny, but, it is strictly a good guess at best. That tattoo on the inside of the upper lip is the best way to find out about a horses pedigree and racing history...\n\n\nI hope I have answered your question and thank you very much for your r

27 for a thoroughbred racing horse is like 75-80 for a human.

Working in the industry, I can honestly say that at times there is cruelty. I won;t go into it, but there are things that I don't agree with at times. But if you are wanting to know about the highest levels, like the Triple Crown trail and Breeder's Cup races, then cruelty rarely occurs. the horses that are running these races are pampered. Yes they are whipped but it really does not hurt them. It's more a little sting than anything. As far as a three year old not being mature enough to run and carry a rider, well Thoroughbreds mature faster than most breeds. Running is what they are bred to do. They love it. And yes a horse knows when he has won a race and when he has been bested. That's why when they are running you'll sometimes see a horse reach out and nip at another horse running next to him or why a horse will pull up next to front runner and stay there for a bit before running on by. He's looking him in the eye, challenging him to a duel of sorts. Thoroughbreds love to run, it's how they get their kicks.

Colt is a young male horse who still has his testicles (gelding for any male horse w/o them)\n\nFilly is a young female horse.\n\nMale horses are classified as horses at age 5, and Female horses are classified as mares at age 5.

Race horses are not ridden every day.  Generally after a horse races or works out they will get 1-2 days off.  On their days off the horses will usually be hand-walked in the morning and afternoon and taken out to graze.  Some trainers use roundpens as small turnout areas as well.

Depending on whether the mare is ever bred, this could be many times.  Estrus usually starts around age 3 and mares are fertile for 10-12 years.  The average cycle is 21 days (you could estimate your answer from this) - the range is anywhere from 10 to 37 days.  This is why breeding farms use a "teaser" stallion, as walking the mare near him (with fence separating them) will allow the mare to exhibit whether she is in heat or not.  If it were exactly 21 days, we wouldn't need to do this more than once, but just use a calendar.  Every horse is different, just as every human is when it comes to 'cycles'.  \n\nMares stay in heat on the average 5-6 days, with the range being 2-11. I have experienced a 2 day cycle with mares.  It can be very frustrating.  You kind of have to know your mare's cycle before breeding, as mares ovulate 24-48 hours before their cycle ends, and it is then they are most fertile.  You need to get to know your mare's cycle, as an 11 day heat is most fertile in the 9-11 day period.  \n\nAlso - if a mare has a foal by her side, you still need to check when she goes into heat as the timing may change a little.  They seem to be most fertile when they are bred during the first estrus they have with a foal at their side.  They seem to be harder to breed (for the breeding to "take") when they are young, as most people start at 3 years old (which is equivalent to a teenager in human years).  \n\nLastly - if you have a mare with a foal at her side and you don't breed her for a year (leaving her "open"), she may not "take" as well.  A person would leave a mare open if she needs to be shown or if the timing of the foaling would be off.  Most, if not all, breeds consider Jan. 1 the "birthdate" of all foals for racing and showing purposes.  If your foal comes in late summer or in the fall, he or she would be much younger then the other horses considered to be the same age.  This happens because a horse's gestation is 11 months - 340 days average (range is 310 to 370 day) - and if her breeding doesn't take when a foal is at her side, it could take a few or several months, pushing the next foals foaling date late in the year.  If it goes too late, you would want to wait until the following year and start in Feb.

Years of hard work are the only way to learn this "business", but it is actually a "way of life" which requires your complete & total dedication to the horse & trainer (barn/stable).  Once you can find your way into the industry, you must prove yourself in order to advance to the next level.  Knowing people is the key, but you can do it without knowing anyone, it just takes longer & you gotta work harder.  Everything is learned by hands-on, person to person training.  It is, in essence, just one big dysfunctional family that seems to work!

Some horses seem to have a good ability to balance on slick ground.  They aren,t always as fast as the ones who go best on a dry track but they have good balance and traction, and don't mind the crap flung in their faces as much.  This may be born in, but it can be trained to some degree.  Mostly it is temperment and balence.

At your age, you should already have a lifetime of riding skill behind you and several accomplished trainers to ask this question to. \n\nFor starters, you'll need enormous financial backing (for training & shipping your horses to international events, also, the horseflesh itself will be valued at well over $100k)\n\nSince you're coming onto the web to ask this question, I fear it's a little too late for you to achieve the Olympic dream. But that's no reason to quit riding and dreaming of showing locally.

You only need 2 horses to race.  Just determine where the start and finish lines are...line up, and off you go.  The first to cross the finish line without cheating wins.\n\nThere are more organized races, with grandstands and betting and starting gates...but, even then, they only need 2 horses to create a race.

They are not trainable in the way that horses have been bred to be.  You should look up an earlier question a few hours ago about horses and riders (and read the answers).

It is simply a matter of temperament.  As mentioned above geldings tend to be much calmer than entire horses (you should only call them a stallion if they are being used for breeding) and as NH horses can race well into their teens it would be unfair to deny a horse his natural urges for so long.\n\nEntire horses can take part in NH racing very successfully.  Alderbrook won the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham in 1995 and was second in the same race in 1996.  He is now at stud in Ireland and is siring talented progeny such as Sh Boom and Ollie Magern.

LMAO - well, you do have like 35 years to catch up. He is very well trained.

The lowest a jockey can be paid to ride a horse is 50 bucks. but that's usually at your lower-end tracks.  and the jockey gets 10 percent of the winnings if the jockey gets any winnings that is. but then the rider has to pay his or her agent, who got them the ride. so this is why jockeys ride atleast 4 races on average per racing day. they need the rent money, and they need to make sure if they don't win, that they can still survive.\n\n\nhope this answers you Q

I hope it's not too late.  This is very informative.  Maybe it will help.http://www.equineonline.net/uk/equestrian_articles/seabiscuit.htm

A few simple strength and balance exercises should do it.  Have somebody assist you on a horse that lunges well so you can concentrate.  at a working trot count post five strides sit five strides.  To do it you're leg will have to be correct or you be late and have a hard time.  As you get better switch to post three, sit three.  Then two and two.  Also work on posting and going into your two point then drop and strech flat and reach for the ears then back into two point.  Go from two point and then straighten up reach over your head if you can then down over the neck or back to two point.  Your legs need to be correct to make these changes.  You'll learn where your center of balance is.  In a proper position your legs will not move as you switch poses or go back to posting.  Mix it up switch randomly it's very different from te eventers who have a good deal of time between obstacles.  You don't get the option to sit and reposition for each new task.  good luck
