I was born into the Sport of Kings, thoroughbred horse racing by way of my father. This story is near and dear to my heart, it gave me chills. Thank you. GO GET 'EM JOCK!
A bit of info for some of the people going on about him beating the horse. Jockeys don't carry 'normal' whips, they have to use foam-covered whips. at the same time (which is quite clear if you actually look at the video) they are nowhere near as rigid as a whip used in showjumping. I'm not saying the horse doesn't feel it, but they are much more about the sound than any pain.
Some horses get marked after a whip, hitting a horse down the neck or above shoulder height is banned, if they did those two things the horse would be even greatly marked which means they have been hurt. Jockeys in Ireland get away with more than in England.
These aren't tears of sadness, these are tears of joy😿 I want to train/excersise race horses when I am old enough, me and my horse go out just when the sun comes up and we trot to the end of the dirt road beside our house and canter back, I never knew I could be so free!
Im an 11 year old girl, and i really love horses. I have been riding horses all my life and at the age of 9 i got my own horse. Her name is Blackdiamond and she is an arabian/welsh mare and 5 years old, she was wild and stressed when i first got her, but now in 2020 she is amazing. I just had to keep on training and at the very end she is now an amazing dressage/show jumping pony and we compete alot.
What a beautiful film, showing the culture and environment which have made Ireland a world horseracing superpower. Without the broad amateur grassroots, such as Point-to-Point, pony and beach racing, there would be no multi-generational superstars such as the O'Briens. As for the "horse beating", there are far more important questions than that, I really don't believe that the horses are hurt. In any case, use of the whip is tightly regulated by most countries' Racing Rules, and jockeys are frequently fined for apparently excessive use. PS: Isn't the "70 lbs of lead" needed to bring the rider weight to that required in a particular race?
Without a doubt the best feeling in the world ,is in the barriers now set racing the sound of the gates crashing back the thunder of hooves the squealing of jockeys the cracking of the whips and the roar of the crowd this I will remember till the day i die
Hmmm. Yesterday I went to Alberta Indian relay race and in some of the heats there where a 12 year old boy, he was short but him and his horse worked well together and where super fast. They where always in the lead and got 1st place twice and 2nd place once. I was so impressed. I’m 13 myself I was just a tiniest jealous and I rlly want to take horse back riding lessons. Oh and also it was stick racing. Very impressive
Horse racing is truly spectacular. And for those criticizing the use of the whip, it is for a reason. Because of the jockey's short stirrups, the horse does not respond to kicks, that's where the whip comes in. If the Jockey didn't have a whip there wouldn't be that much of a response from the horse.
Yeah my best friend is in childs jumpers (age and skill level) at 18. Her horse cost 5k just as a baby and is being sold for 35k right now. Her board is 700 a month not including shoes, tack, feed, shows. She said she spends around 1k a month. She isn't great. She's a low average rider. Many upper level girls drop 3k+ a MONTH.
How come once a horse has won the race the jockey gets all of the credit and all the horse gets is a bath and a blanket for winning horses deserve more
Like what? They can't be fed immediately before and after harsh exercise, they'll colic and TB's are already high risk for ulcers. A nice bath and brush down to wash off all that sweat and a blanket to dry them off is a great reward, and a nice big meal after a few hours!
So what are you suggesting? If I back a loser, it would hurt ME if I punched the horse- 'tis far easier to give the jockey a smack in the mouth for being useless! :-)...it works both ways!
The jockeys using whips are not bad. I do show jumping and I use a whip. I should know because I've been riding since I was 3. I do agree it looks harsh but if you ride you will know that it isn't.
Good Job!!!!! And Believe in yourself!!! In one day You will be champion and dont give up to follow your dream!!!!!!! And dont let kids bully that your short and in kentucky race I saw there lot small man jockey on TV and youtube.Keep going :)
Ugh. I'm annoyed at all of you horse fanatics that point out EVERYTHING WRONG about how someone rides, what sport, even down to the argument over bits! C'mon people, this is about the kid achieving his dreams not whether or not he's using a whip. Stfu and enjoy the actual main point of the video :/
The problem with horse sports and horse riding in general is that there is a participant which can’t speak for themselves, who can’t say that they don’t want it/people don’t listen to their horse and use pain to control it. So even if this boy is achieving his dream it might mean pain for the horse.
i don't like how they give the rider almost all of the recognition. Like yeah they are fit and train just as hard as the horses and respect them, but the horse was the one running, and I feel like they should be saying "oh the jockey got first or whatever place" they should be saying the horse got that place.
There's a reason the horse is pinning its ears... it's not happy being whipped, confused and having to run, run, run every time it gets ridden, and then put into a tiny locked box where it can never be a horse. A horse isn't a toy- you can't put it on the shelf and take it out only when you want to use it- stop treating it like one.
The whips are covered in foam, and also if you didn't know, horses turn their ears back when they run to keep the wind from blocking their hearing which is very scary to them. And a few horses turn their ears back to hear the rider.
ACanOfCarrots it doesn't matter what the material is. A whip is designed to scare a horse in to running faster. In modern times, crops are used as a light tap to remind horses to pay attention. Whipping at this degree is pain, pain and more pain. If you really think that just because whips are covered in foam that they don't hurt then you really are quite stupid. Horses have a large number of nerve ends in their body. They can feel a fly land on its back. But because the whips covered in foam I guess they can't feel it.... As for the listening to the rider, pinning their ears and turning the back are two different things.
There's a big difference between ears "pinned" and ears turned back away from the wind and to listen to the rider. Ears are pinned back by really angry horses, and are much flatter than ears turned back. Most horses at the gallop turn their ears back, although jumping horses will often turn their ears forward when their attention is focused on the jump. There is a famous 16 year old racehorse in England which likes to gallop with ears pricked forward, but most turn them back.
Panic! At my chemical fallout the horses ears are pinned back as he is galloping... they do not feel the whip... it does not scare them... and the horse is a thoroughbred... as all race horses are... they are bred to race in big races like this and when they are retired they sometimes are retrained as show jumping horses
Watch American Pharaoh and Secretariats races then, not all jockeys use a whip, but you have to be a truly great jockey and have a truly amazing horse to not use your whip and keep your job, because if you lose the blame can easily be put on your "anti-whip"
try riding without a whip. horse is giving you everything hes got. do you think the whip helps? if you want to be a good jockey, think about your horse, put yourself where he is. what do you think?
You understand a whip is needed, even in hands and heels races for amateurs because first and foremost it is a corrective tool to keep a horse in a straight line. If you studied racing and understood the use of the whip you would know that. You'd also know that jockeys love the horses they work with, and aren't vicious as most people make out. They are very considerate to the horses, which is why you see so many pull up, especially in the UK and Ireland. But again, most people just want to hate the sport without understanding it. As a racehorse owner, I can unequivocally tell you I love horses more than most of you here, and believe me, these are the best looked after animals in the UK!
The whips are covered in foam, and also if you look he doesn't whip the horse a lot. He does a lot of flicking the whip to show the horse it's there and it's time to take things up a notch.
the horses don't really feel the wipes and you don't think it hurts when he gets punch in the face in boxing that hurts more than it does for the horses being wiped
Jockeys in the US hardly ever actually hit their horses with the whips, just wave at them. And they are foam and flexible, so not anywhere near as painful as crops used for jumping or dressage. The whips are also only used for racing, never for training
My dream is to be a jockey, but I'm tall so that dream will sadly have to be forgotten. But I give my thanks to Lizzie Kelly for giving me the inspiration to be a jockey.
Horsey Lova it is not abuse for using a bit or a whip also the whips are foam whips also using a bit is not abuse because you are supposed to have loose and gentle reins so jockeys are not horse abusers😐
Lily Martin and you say that while they are drugging up their horses and running the horses so hard that the horse dies and the horse also gets zero credit when it comes to winning and when they loose the horse gets hit. So whatever you say it will never change my opinion. 😂
Ok ppl you need to read this. Horseracing can be cruel, but the whips are not. I've grown up with racehorses and the whip simply signals the horse to faster, slower, etc. IT DOESNT HURT THEM so get your facts right before going on a rant about hurting the horses. If you wanna do that take a look at rodeos
Whips should really be banned in horse racing. In Norway they banned them for harness racing, because they were abused, and there's no difference in "control" or how fast the horses run. It just hurts the horses for no reason.
the crop or "whip" is covered in foam so it doesn't hurt as much as a jumping or a normal one and crating crops are only used to in some sense startle the horse or regain the horses attention.
In terms of race riding there is a huge difference in control. Keeping a horse on a straight course at 38+mph isn't going to work without a whip. Not in the UK with it's hugely undulating surfaces, you need to keep the horse balanced of course, but failing that a whip is needed.
Why Not Actually , they hurt. Myself and my friends found a whip like that and messed around hitting eachother , it was really site but we weren't trying. Horses feel twice that pain
I grew up showing horses. .the ONLY times I ever used a crop was when my beloved horse was being an absolute butthole (lol)...and was on his butt..always had soft hands on the mouth. .. had a friend who took her horse out of the arena during a show, her horse broke in front of the judge (her fault for not keeping him in shape and he was a damn good horse) and she beat the ever loving shit out of him. .. never have forgotten that as it traumatized me to see it. .
If anyone knew anything about race horses. They aren't "slaves" they THRIVE to be out there and racing. And for the whips. They have a foam covered whips. So before you start commenting stupid comments. Learn your facts
If you are scrolling through the comments just stop it's a waste of time people are saying how the whip is abuse to horses 🐴 the whip can barley be felt by these horses they have much thicker skin then us human being and the whip aren't old ropes or stuff like that they are covered with foam or a rubber thingy, the whip is more use for the sound to alert the horses to keep going, and anyways countries like Australia are already making new regulations for the whip to make sure the jockey doesn't continually use the whip too many times, also the whip is also used to control the horse incase it starts to go sideways it's a way for the jockey to "wake up" the horse.
go read up if you don't believe me plus they don't use whips they use on slaves in ancient times a soft crop whip and again they have way thicker skin and they feel close to nothing
i think the boy should follow his dreams. you also make a lot of assumptions about what i think! i asked a question? does the boy need to be trained to use a whip? arent legs, sitting andbreins enough
Pour les cavalières française, ou les personnes qui prennent google traduction. Les cravaches des jockey son super solide et très gros. Ils donnent de grand coup sur leur arrière main, juste pour gagner un course...
All you dumb people out there are thinking that the jockeys are beating/hitting their horses. That's not true, it's either making a sound to get the horses attention or using the so called "whip" like a crop. When a horse doesn't behave, a lot of people slap it with a crop. It doesn't hurt them, it just gives them a reminder. I understand all of you feel sorry for those horses, I do too. What's really sad isn't the fact that they get "hit" it's that they're pushed too hard just because their owners want to succeed and don't care about the horse.
Whips can cause bruising and inflammation, however, horses do have resilient skin. That is not to say that their skin is insensitive. ... Jockeys aren't whipping their horses in the last 100m of a race to increase safety or to remind their horse to pay attention.
Well it isn't just you who want to be a pro jockey Dylan I want to be the best female jockey ever in fact I am the only one in my highschool of 500 who wants to be a jockey but I hope u reply to this comment as I watching this video would like to compete against you when I grow because at the time of me writing this comment I am only 12 and I am going to go to racing school in Manchester when I leave highschool I hope to compete against you The for hopefully reading and maybe responding to this comment thank you
The horse racing industry is cruel and bad when the horses aren't "fast" enough they are sent to dog food factories we shouldn't continue to treat horses like this. *SHAME ON THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY*
The horses are bread to race.they love to run because if they didn't they wouldn't keep doing it They love to run with other horses it's their instincts to keep Running together It's not cruel
+Faith. Molly it is mabye you dont see it but the racing world is corupt horses are raced untell they are in to much pain to continue or they have a breakdown and im guessing you have never seen because if you did you wouldnt be saying such things a breakdown it when the horse is forced to run at dangerous speeds witch i might add is very bad for the young horses who bones arnt evenand fully developed yet but the horses fall most of time breaking bones and having to be put down on spot but even worse is the pain and suffering the racehorses are subject to on a day to day basis being whiped and zaped with electronic devices being locked in a small stall all day and sujected to countless amonts of drugs and medication that numb the pain but the sad part is its still there it doesn't go away a horse called eight belle was raced and broke two ankles but still ran becuase all of the meds numbed the pain she ran and placed good too but had to be put down on spot often when horses are of no use as racers or breders there sent to a slaughter house where they are shoved in a packed trailer with countless other horses and hauled out of the country to canada,japan, Europe and mexico to be killed its not there that there pain ends once at the slaughter house they are unloaded into a pen where they are submitted to even more pain by zapers cattle prods and whips they are then hit,shot or zaped in the head then they are hung up by a limb upside down sometimes not dead and there throaghts are slashed then they are cleaned and skined for there meat and fur that is sold and shipped all acrossed the world now i really hope you see the pain this sport is causing the horses and how bad it is PLEASE DO YOUR RESERCH BEFORE YOU HELP THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE THEY SAY THEY CARE ABOUT THERE ANIMALS BUT THERE LIEING TO YOU PLEASE DONT SUPORT THIS INHUMAIN PRACTICE
+jillian ober you no i am very good friend with Paul Nichols daughter so I have racing training sessions every week so I study the horse bones and everything so personally I think you should get on a race horses and ride on before you think you no what your talking about sorry if I'm sounding rude but it is just how it is
It isn't your speed that wins its the horses speed horses put it all in to win the run for a reason even if they can't they will its not your reason to get up and whip a horse everyday
It shouldn't be neccesary to whip a horse, why do you whip the horse? To go faster, apparently. Why do you want it to go faster ? Because you want to win. But why do you have to win if you're having fun? Easy: Because you want money. You litterally beat a horse for it go faster so you get money.
Horse racing is indeed very very impressive. Horse and rider. But i absolutely hate how they whip the horses. Its sick in my opinion. I mean yea. Ill use a crop. But i dont whip my horse over and over again. Ill tap her once if she isnt responding to my leg. i mean for real. I rescue horses from the race track.
Crops in horse racing are used for a number of different reasons. They use the whip for switching leads, and giving the rider more control so the horse doesn't run out, ect. Also the jockey asks for the horse to extend the stride using legs really pushing the horse before they start using the whip. They wave the whip a couple of times, then they use the crop. Just thought I'd give you some info :)
Jaclyn Matchett I appreciate your response. But in my personal opinion I still think that crops are over used. I know that they are used for switching leads and extending. But thanks anyway :D
All they need to do is use the rein if they want them to go faster but obviously not repeativly (is that even a word XD). I do use a whip but only for if the horse I'm riding is doing stuff I don't want them to do or to get the moving if they don't listen to me.
I whip my horses if they need a correction or some encouragement. It does not hurt them, I know because I slap myself very hard with whatever whip I use to test if it will hurt my horse and it doesn't hurt me, so.
You realise your average jockey in the UK makes peanuts yeah? One example. Ian Popham. Jump jockey in the UK. Nothing booked for the next week, 2 rides in the last 14 days and he got paid ~£150 for each ride. So £300 in 14 days. Does that seem like a real money spinner to you? Look at the vast majority of jockeys, and they are just about making a living. Sure, you get some jockey like Ryan Moore and Richard Johnson raking it in, but the VAST majority aren't.
The whip is important and keeps the horse on the job and reminds him he's racing , It aint cruel it's how it's always been so stop fucking moaning! Horse racing will always be it's one of the biggest sports in the world
+Special Agent Fun Goose can you imagine being a horse in the race? like you have to sprint as fast as you can, you are being hit by a whip and you don't even know when the finish line is, and when they get to stop. it would be like torture.
Yes, I do too. I was almost crying. It's a shame that people think and learn ist normaal to do this to that poor animals. All for the wins and ribbons.
You know there is more skill to horse riding than that! Yes some horses are treated bad but I'm sure he gives his horse a lot of love and respect! And so should you.
I've seen them and been near them since I was only one we visited people's horses but,they want them to respond only use it when you want the horse to respond to a command,if you use it without a command like life or death.Then you can claim it's abuse but don't hate on kids and adults they are probably champions and you may not....
That 12 year old boy has some gift! i could never do that when i was 12 and the boy prooves to us that we can do it if we believe
I was born into the Sport of Kings, thoroughbred horse racing by way of my father. This story is near and dear to my heart, it gave me chills.

Jockeys are actually often from poor families. Dressage and jumping is what you're thinking of.
no no so I am not that rich and I plan to ride for people in showjumping
true, the horse, uniform etc isn't cheap i assume

The lad will be 14 now, I’m 16 so he’s really gonna be a name I’m gonna see in the industry
Dylan Browne McMonagle …. Group 3 winning jockey now….
brilliant and he is stylish as fuck already rode a perfect finish good on him.
I remember my dad rescued a track horse and it had tons of scars on its shoulder and behind because the owner used to whip it so much..
The whips jockeys use don't really leave marks tbh
My dream is to be a jockey, but I'm tall so that dream will sadly have to be forgotten. But I give my thanks to Lizzie Kelly for giving me the inspiration to be a jockey.
Jockeys can be tall!! It's more about the weight
omg! I love riding horses and bulls and I'm only nine years old and have never fell off
Courtney Thomas you are getting taught wrong! Using a whip and a bit is abuse.... you shouldn't look up to jockeys
Horsey Lova it is not abuse for using a bit or a whip also the whips are foam whips also using a bit is not abuse because you are supposed to have loose and gentle reins so jockeys are not horse abusers😐
Lily Martin and you say that while they are drugging up their horses and running the horses so hard that the horse dies and the horse also gets zero credit when it comes to winning and when they loose the horse gets hit. So whatever you say it will never change my opinion. 😂
Ok ppl you need to read this. Horseracing can be cruel, but the whips are not. I've grown up with racehorses and the whip simply signals the horse to faster, slower, etc. IT DOESNT HURT THEM so get your facts right before going on a rant about hurting the horses. If you wanna do that take a look at rodeos

Whips should really be banned in horse racing. In Norway they banned them for harness racing, because they were abused, and there's no difference in "control" or how fast the horses run. It just hurts the horses for no reason.
the crop or "whip" is covered in foam so it doesn't hurt as much as a jumping or a normal one and crating crops are only used to in some sense startle the horse or regain the horses attention.
In terms of race riding there is a huge difference in control. Keeping a horse on a straight course at 38+mph isn't going to work without a whip. Not in the UK with it's hugely undulating surfaces, you need to keep the horse balanced of course, but failing that a whip is needed.
Sara Sander it should I don't care when they use it for derection (like a soft tick) but when used like a real whip is horrible
Why Not Actually , they hurt. Myself and my friends found a whip like that and messed around hitting eachother , it was really site but we weren't trying. Horses feel twice that pain
This is beautiful
this is so inspiring as im hopin to be a jockey and im 12 ps i can gallop 52 mph and jump 160
So you're a GP level Rider?
That fastest horse wasn't even going at 50 mph
I smell bs
Great Story,I'm shocked they let this Kid ride so young,I rode in America for 14 yrs
I grew up showing horses. .the ONLY times I ever used a crop was when my beloved horse was being an absolute butthole (lol)...and was on his butt..always had soft hands on the mouth. .. had a friend who took her horse out of the arena during a show, her horse broke in front of the judge (her fault for not keeping him in shape and he was a damn good horse) and she beat the ever loving shit out of him. .. never have forgotten that as it traumatized me to see it. .
If anyone knew anything about race horses. They aren't "slaves" they THRIVE to be out there and racing. And for the whips. They have a foam covered whips. So before you start commenting stupid comments. Learn your facts
I love video! Not a big fan of the whips but good luck with being a jockey!
It's not a whip it's a crop which has a tiny patch of leather on the tip it doesn't hurt the horses there skin is very thick
You done very well
Fucking class! Go on Dylan!
the whips are used to get the horse concentrated at the end of the race because the horse tends to get unconcentrated because they are quite tired
that cup at 0:30 tho
Respect sir
All these people here like get rid of whips like their gonna do something😂
That coffee cup at the start.
If you are scrolling through the comments just stop it's a waste of time people are saying how the whip is abuse to horses 🐴 the whip can barley be felt by these horses they have much thicker skin then us human being and the whip aren't old ropes or stuff like that they are covered with foam or a rubber thingy, the whip is more use for the sound to alert the horses to keep going, and anyways countries like Australia are already making new regulations for the whip to make sure the jockey doesn't continually use the whip too many times, also the whip is also used to control the horse incase it starts to go sideways it's a way for the jockey to "wake up" the horse.
Please.
If jockeys used sound alone, they would not need the whip.
go read up if you don't believe me plus they don't use whips they use on slaves in ancient times a soft crop whip and again they have way thicker skin and they feel close to nothing
How's he doing now??!
He's the most successful Apprentice jockey in Ireland in 2021, aged 18, working for one of the top stables... so far so very good...
@@delahug nice to hear that 😀
If I had his dedication I would be so rich
I'm 13. And ride horses. Being a jokey is my dream. So why is he a jokey and not me??
Best of luck Dylan! Jesus Adrian didn’t know ur an actor now!!😂
Best of luck to ye.
(Duff)
As I was saying turn it right and face it down 🤣
Ronseal
“Does what it says on the tin” 😂
i think the boy should follow his dreams. you also make a lot of assumptions about what i think! i asked a question? does the boy need to be trained to use a whip? arent legs, sitting andbreins enough
With stirrups this short? Nah
Good job kid
poor horses not just the crops but what they go through before races and there whole life.
dogsnm wdym before races
The crops/whips are covered in foam. It doesn't hurt the animal.
Better inform cps
But after the races the treatment they get is great
The crops are covered in foam,and The horses are treated like royalty..I hate people who don't know what your talking about like you!
Some horses loaf if you don't ''motivate '' them! It's part of the game. Ask PETA!
@David hello,how are you doing
This is funny cause I've done the training with my friend Alfie because he is a jockey 😂🏇
Pour les cavalières française, ou les personnes qui prennent google traduction. Les cravaches des jockey son super solide et très gros. Ils donnent de grand coup sur leur arrière main, juste pour gagner un course...
All you dumb people out there are thinking that the jockeys are beating/hitting their horses. That's not true, it's either making a sound to get the horses attention or using the so called "whip" like a crop. When a horse doesn't behave, a lot of people slap it with a crop. It doesn't hurt them, it just gives them a reminder. I understand all of you feel sorry for those horses, I do too. What's really sad isn't the fact that they get "hit" it's that they're pushed too hard just because their owners want to succeed and don't care about the horse.
Whips can cause bruising and inflammation, however, horses do have resilient skin. That is not to say that their skin is insensitive. ... Jockeys aren't whipping their horses in the last 100m of a race to increase safety or to remind their horse to pay attention.
Well it isn't just you who want to be a pro jockey Dylan I want to be the best female jockey ever in fact I am the only one in my highschool of 500 who wants to be a jockey but I hope u reply to this comment as I watching this video would like to compete against you when I grow because at the time of me writing this comment I am only 12 and I am going to go to racing school in Manchester when I leave highschool I hope to compete against you The for hopefully reading and maybe responding to this comment thank you
So howz that working out for you. Tough Job
Good Luck
They hit the horse to straighten them n to get them goin a whip feels like gettin hit with a pillow for the horse
Alex Harvey if a horse has skin sensitive enough to feel a fly on it then I wonder how much they feel it ? It's not a trick
Question....
Maybe they love it. Plenty of people pay good money to be whipped because they love it.
Alex Harvey you are an idiot
Horsey_ Lova no he is not he is right
jpah God , you're so stupid.
best rider ever
Guys who ride 😻😻
How come the Jockeys think they have won? The horse?! Has won
The horse racing industry is cruel and bad when the horses aren't "fast" enough they are sent to dog food factories we shouldn't continue to treat horses like this. *SHAME ON THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY*
Did you get all that from a PETA video?
loved that
Meanwhile the horse's dream of freedom from slavery, whippings, domination, and exploitation will never come true...
The horses are bread to race.they love to run because if they didn't they wouldn't keep doing it
They love to run with other horses
it's their instincts to keep Running together
It's not cruel
+Tamara no it is not I go to the races every week with my best friend who is a jockey
+Faith. Molly it is mabye you dont see it but the racing world is corupt horses are raced untell they are in to much pain to continue or they have a breakdown and im guessing you have never seen because if you did you wouldnt be saying such things a breakdown it when the horse is forced to run at dangerous speeds witch i might add is very bad for the young horses who bones arnt evenand fully developed yet but the horses fall most of time breaking bones and having to be put down on spot but even worse is the pain and suffering the racehorses are subject to on a day to day basis being whiped and zaped with electronic devices being locked in a small stall all day and sujected to countless amonts of drugs and medication that numb the pain but the sad part is its still there it doesn't go away a horse called eight belle was raced and broke two ankles but still ran becuase all of the meds numbed the pain she ran and placed good too but had to be put down on spot often when horses are of no use as racers or breders there sent to a slaughter house where they are shoved in a packed trailer with countless other horses and hauled out of the country to canada,japan, Europe and mexico to be killed its not there that there pain ends once at the slaughter house they are unloaded into a pen where they are submitted to even more pain by zapers cattle prods and whips they are then hit,shot or zaped in the head then they are hung up by a limb upside down sometimes not dead and there throaghts are slashed then they are cleaned and skined for there meat and fur that is sold and shipped all acrossed the world now i really hope you see the pain this sport is causing the horses and how bad it is PLEASE DO YOUR RESERCH BEFORE YOU HELP THESE HORRIBLE PEOPLE THEY SAY THEY CARE ABOUT THERE ANIMALS BUT THERE LIEING TO YOU PLEASE DONT SUPORT THIS INHUMAIN PRACTICE
+jillian ober you no i am very good friend with Paul Nichols daughter so I have racing training sessions every week so I study the horse bones and everything so personally I think you should get on a race horses and ride on before you think you no what your talking about sorry if I'm sounding rude but it is just how it is
Haha. Those horses will end up in the slaughterhouse omce their 'career' is finished
It isn't your speed that wins its the horses speed horses put it all in to win the run for a reason even if they can't they will its not your reason to get up and whip a horse everyday
like I also commented before I saw yours, I don't like that the jockey gets all the winning recognition. The horse was racing, not you.
The whips are covered in foam so it doesn't hurt the horse...
It shouldn't be neccesary to whip a horse, why do you whip the horse? To go faster, apparently. Why do you want it to go faster ? Because you want to win. But why do you have to win if you're having fun?
Easy: Because you want money. You litterally beat a horse for it go faster so you get money.
Horse racing is indeed very very impressive. Horse and rider. But i absolutely hate how they whip the horses. Its sick in my opinion. I mean yea. Ill use a crop. But i dont whip my horse over and over again. Ill tap her once if she isnt responding to my leg. i mean for real. I rescue horses from the race track.
Crops in horse racing are used for a number of different reasons. They use the whip for switching leads, and giving the rider more control so the horse doesn't run out, ect. Also the jockey asks for the horse to extend the stride using legs really pushing the horse before they start using the whip. They wave the whip a couple of times, then they use the crop. Just thought I'd give you some info :)
Jaclyn Matchett I appreciate your response. But in my personal opinion I still think that crops are over used. I know that they are used for switching leads and extending. But thanks anyway :D
All they need to do is use the rein if they want them to go faster but obviously not repeativly (is that even a word XD). I do use a whip but only for if the horse I'm riding is doing stuff I don't want them to do or to get the moving if they don't listen to me.
Sally65Underdawn I totally agree! And yea thats a word lol
I whip my horses if they need a correction or some encouragement. It does not hurt them, I know because I slap myself very hard with whatever whip I use to test if it will hurt my horse and it doesn't hurt me, so.
The boy needs to take hold of raise, so the horse can bate down on the bet
wOw im also an horse rider but i go fast real fast but not like this fast
I'm not bothered by the whipping, but the strain that such young horses are put under is despicable
tiene pasión de jinete
I'm a show jumper I will never hit my horse as hard as they do it is so sad
I know right they seem to beat the crap out of the horses with the whip
I think they do it for the money
You realise your average jockey in the UK makes peanuts yeah? One example. Ian Popham. Jump jockey in the UK. Nothing booked for the next week, 2 rides in the last 14 days and he got paid ~£150 for each ride. So £300 in 14 days. Does that seem like a real money spinner to you? Look at the vast majority of jockeys, and they are just about making a living. Sure, you get some jockey like Ryan Moore and Richard Johnson raking it in, but the VAST majority aren't.
Most of the jockeys that do have the money have been in the sport for decades, and have worked extremely hard to get where they are
WHy dos he whip the poor horse??????
DASH FEVER Thanks for calling me stupid
phamalam a dingdong but they do fell more pain....
Daniel Duran it doesn't make the horse go faster though! It's no use
Daniel Duran that's trainer has just been taught wrong
Horsey_ Lova YES IT DOESSSSSS
Sad fact: the horse racing industry kills the most horses per year
Robin Winn No, that would be France where they breed horses for human consumption.
Can he be a jockey when he have 12 yo?
they are beating the poor horses
That's one of many reasons I don't like horse racing
The whip is important and keeps the horse on the job and reminds him he's racing , It aint cruel it's how it's always been so stop fucking moaning! Horse racing will always be it's one of the biggest sports in the world
I suggest all google: WhippedAss....its a website for women who prefer the crop.
Anyone else just really feel bad for the horses?
+Special Agent Fun Goose can you imagine being a horse in the race? like you have to sprint as fast as you can, you are being hit by a whip and you don't even know when the finish line is, and when they get to stop. it would be like torture.
Yes, I do too. I was almost crying. It's a shame that people think and learn ist normaal to do this to that poor animals. All for the wins and ribbons.
I feel so bad for them
It is encouraging them not hurting them
They enjoy racing, otherwise they wouldn't run.
Очень интересно!!!
Wow the kid got teach to hit horses butts very hard....so much skill...
You know there is more skill to horse riding than that! Yes some horses are treated bad but I'm sure he gives his horse a lot of love and respect! And so should you.
MissRightTurn hitting a horse has nothing to do with respect. I do horsemanship this is respect
DASH FEVER Maybe you should open your eyey and see the truth. :)
DASH FEVER You did not enought research, I'm around horses nearly every day and this since 16 years.
I've seen them and been near them since I was only one we visited people's horses but,they want them to respond only use it when you want the horse to respond to a command,if you use it without a command like life or death.Then you can claim it's abuse but don't hate on kids and adults they are probably champions and you may not....
