How are hobbles inhumane? they help support the horse when they are pacing which is a natural gait for standardbreds. And they more than likely dont use them in holland because your watching trotters not pacers. Know the difference before you comment.

@katchkittie racing is only cruel with people who dont no what they are doing. smart horsemen who no how to race properly and take care of a horse the right way dont do cruel things. racing isnt cruel get your facts straight
what is mean? treating the horse for thrush? hopples? do you notice it slowing the horse down any??? it helps keep the horse on stride and not break into a canter. nothing "mean" about it. It HELPS the horse.
@@ridewiththewind1847 Is human racing mean? Horses love having something to do. If they are treated with respect and love then it is not mean. Horses love to run.
In my opinion horse racing is cruel these are my reasons..... 1. hobbling- forcing them to do something they were not meant to do. Which leads to ruining their legs and having shorter lives than other horses. (I own a 16 year old harness racing Standerdbred and his back legs don't work properly any more from racing and now I can only ride him on the trails at a walk) 2.using them when they are young. 3. always being cept in a straight stall and never able to graze in a field.
+Molly MountainField/NovaDragonBridge there's so much more reasons, but yeah, that's pretty much the long short of it. Don't forget the blue tongues from the bits, the blinders creating horrific accidents, the whipping that actually leaves scarring for life (even if no blood was drawn) and more. The stall thing if only half true, from what I've heard. They're kept outdoors often (their definition, not mine). Yet they are still in stalls at least 80% of their lives. Which is mental and physical torture.
+Molly MountainField/NovaDragonBridge Hobbles do not cause injury.. they only encourage a horse to stay in gait and not break into a canter. Horses in any discipline can suffer serious injuries that have long-term effects. Again.. not related to the hobbles and certainly not exclusive to racing. Btw.. I know many sound standardbreds. I have never in my life seen a straight stall. I've been to several standardbred training barns.. only box stalls to be found. Yep, they do spend most of their time in them, but they do also get daily exercise and meticulous care and in many cases (not all) they DO get turned out into a paddock regularly.
Molly you really need to educate yourself if you're going to post such ridiculousness. Your first example shows your ignorance. I breed and race Standardbreds. I breed pacers that use Hobbles(?). The hobbles are not meant to do damage but are meant to keep them on a pace which they are bred to do. If I were to breed trotters and try to hobble them to pace then that may cause an issue. If a horse were to break stride at 35mph, which does happen then they may injure themselves. They could possibly even go down and end up getting seriously injured and cause injuries to drivers and other horses. The hobbles that you say cause injury because you see the word hobble but now I have to be the one to inform you that they are called hopples. As in pacing hopples. Look it up. Using them when they are young? Please show me your Doctorate of Veterinary medicine or any other form of education that gives you the ability to make an educated assessment of when a horse is ready to begin work. We start racing at 2. They are raced very lightly at 2 but again anybody that knows about breed physiology will tell you that a Standardbred is bred to have bigger bone structure than say a Thoroughbred and are therefore better suited for work than other breeds, even for what you deem to be an early age. Always Kept in a stall and never allowed to graze in a field. You're welcome to come to my farm and see all of the mares and their babies in the 75 acres of fields where they graze on the most lush grass, as selected and seeded by me to ensure the optimal nutrition but while there you also may want to note the extra 18% mare in foal feed, alfalfa cubes, calf manna and Omega Horse Shine along with the many other supplements that they are fed but if that's not enough I can take you to my friends house who just races out of the pasture instead of jogging them every day at the track. I can also take you to another friends farm who does a combination by keeping them in the pasture then trailering them to the track every day to jog or train. Are you telling me that you ride a horse that is not sound? I'd say that that is a hell of a lot more barbaric than anything you think you know about. What's the name or tattoo # of your horse and I'll look him up for you so you can discuss your concerns with his/her previous owner or trainer.
Berry... it's a common misconception that catestrophic injuries are more common in juveniles than in older horses. It's just not true. In thoroughbreds the most at risk group are entires 5 years and older. Presumably this is why we'll-performed entires are retired at 3-4. Standardbreds are different and their injury profiles are different. In Australia its very rare to get a champion juvenile that excels as an older horse.
