Mein kampf actually I'm planning on going there and you should see where I live in a small house and money is a problem of you need it🏇🏇🐴🏇🐎🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I don't read replies meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, some of the best jockeys in the Americas grow up dirt poor, barely finishing high school, some dont even finish elementary school.
Yeah, especially knowing that 500 race horses are dying each year... And also that a a big majority of race horses, once they became "too old" to race (something like 14), they are just given to the slaughterhouse.... Do some research before saying anything about horse racing
Just like dog racing of the greyhounds they just put them down when they get to old or stop winning but people can adopt them as well to save their lives.
AnimalCrazy123 you're right. 10,000+ horses slaughtered every year and sent over to Europe to be eaten and turned into dog food. Many are thoroughbreds:(
You would think that, but if you visit auction houses your heart will be torn to pieces after you see young TB after TB be sold to slaughter. TB arent worth anything unless they're making money. Sorry to say. I've a few friends that visit auctions and buy horses that aren't wounded or sick, and a majority of the horses they outbid the meat man for are thoroughbreds. :( It's sad seeing people defend this disgusting industry year after year. Yes, many horses are treated well. Those that are not winners, a majority, are thrown away when no longer useful.
Wow. You should do some research yourself, your ignorance is very saddening. In 10 years, 70% of the thoroughbred foals born were later sent to slaughter. Please don't let yourself be brainwashed.
Have no idea about the UK system! If they treat their horses better than they do here, I am very happy. But here in the U.S, over-breeding is an issue with most breeds, especially TB's. I just wish the world knew about it, there is so many people who deny the fact that thousands of them are wasted because of the greedy and irresponsible racing industry. It warms my heart that SOME (there is still plenty, perhaps over a thousand a year who don't) thoroughbreds that are quick to be pulled from slaughter in the U.K. Unfortunately it's not the case for United States. In fact, before they're killed, they're on a two week journey of torture in an over crowded cattle trailers before they meet their fate. Thanks to the brain deads in PETA, they are trucked over to Mexico/ Canada where the deed is done inhumanely. I wish nothing more than for horses to not be bred for anything other than a family to enjoy and take care of them for their WHOLE life. Not to be worked until useless. There is no denying that the racing industry is responsible for tens of thousands of horse deaths. I do not care where it's happening, the fact that there's already an over population issue is enough for me to say that ANYWHERE that let's this go on is unthoughtful and ignorant.
I would love a job working with and riding horses but I wouldn't want to be a jockey if there's any jobs were you can do showjumping and cross country that would be my ideal job but I've never seen any
Look online or on Craigslist to see if there are any jobs where they want you to clean stalls, feed and groom their horses for them. Eventually they might let you start exercising their horses. For sure look in your area for riding lessons to help you feel more comfortable around horses!! Good luck :)
+Mikayla D thank you! I've already been riding for 9 yrs I get one lesson a week and 2 free rides by myself with the horses that need exercising I don't have my own horse as I can't afford one unfortunately but I'm planning on taking equine studies as an option in college :)
My new book on horse racing: "Black Deuce." www.amazon.com/dp/B0721YVFXL/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497655465&sr=8-2-fkmr0&keywords=black+deuce+by+stan+d.+jensen
Good for you bathing your horse all by yourself. Those students are probably also enrolled in the Yard Management or Flex Learning courses which focus more on animal and facility care/management than apprentice and professional jockeying. Basic and routine animal care includes bathing and its sometimes more efficient to give multiple people the experience they need on a single horse.
Ik, I'm just saying that at my barn we're encouraged to be independent and care for our horses by ourselves and we don't normally get help to bathe, groom, tack, etc.
I hope the new generation of jockeys are nicer and less abusive then the current generation. The Race Horse industry is so abusive, people need to know its not all fun and galloping. Its abuse.
How come that people who have never sat on a horse before go there... (2:10) ? I don't get it, so they take unexperienced people who can't ride and don't know anything about horses, even though I'm sure that there are plenty of good riders wishing they could learn there...
They dont look for experienced riders as much because riding a thoroughbred who is a racehorse is so much different to any other riding styles or breeds. They look more for how dedicated you are towards that career path and how much you love and care for horses. Also not everyone is able to have their own horse or even get to be around horses regularly enough to gain a lot of riding experience even though they still love horses and want to base their life around them
actually with jockeying, height isn't a restriction. as long as you weigh as little as needed it's fine. For example, I'm 5'8 but I weigh 104lbs, so I'm well within the female jockey weight restriction.
+Angie that's why I said height doesn't matter. It's just easier to be within the weight limits when you're shorter, that's why the majority of jockeys are smaller
Oh well you can go live your little fairytale. If you don't do your research than don't comment your petty hopes and dreams that your mom and dad told you when you were 12 to make you feel better.
wolfgirl Actually, upon tons of research, horses quite enjoy people riding them. It's their way of exercise and fun. It's only cruel if people are racing them, or forcing them to reach the climax of their abilities. Not to mention the idiotic inhumane punishments that some people give them (I hate that. Those people need to go to hell). So it's actually healthy for the horses if they are ridden at a pace they don't mind. (Plus they were bred for being ridden, therefore it's perfectly normal). And if you still aren't convinced, think of it this way: These animals are over 2000 pounds and one strike from their hoof could kill the strongest of men/women. Their jaws are strong enough to bite fingers off and lift you into the air by your hair. If they TRULY had a problem with people riding them, they would make sure no human could ever ride them again. So you really shouldn't be calling the pleasure riding part of the sport cruel, you should be seeking out the slaughterhouses, cruel races, and overworked/abusive parts of this community to have that opinion about. Because at the end of the day, THEY are the cruel ones. So if you love horses, don't be against riding them! Trust me, there's a horse out there who would LOVE to have you as a partner! :) (Didn't realize how much I typed out, srry!)
"My role as a jockey is to get inside the horses mind" Then why can't you understand when you're pushing a horse too far? A horse shouldn't be defined by the speed it runs at, nor should it be not understood or cared for. You can't build a relationship with a horse by training it too fast, too soon, and then racing it for a few years, and sending it afterwards to an auction where it'll be bought by a kill buyer.
1) These horses aren't "pushed too far" 2) They are not defined by their speed. 3) Actually jockeys DO have relationships with horses. The horses know them and perk their ears when they see them. 4) Racehorses aren't sent to slaughter. That's illegal per racing rules and anyone doing it loses their license forever
A champion racehorse would absolutely not be sold to a butcher. That's like sending a Ferrari to the scrapyard. They would probably end up retiring to some farm and used for breeding if not sold for insane amounts of money to someone who just wants to own a former race champion because of the prestige.
@Rebster Oh, sorry about that. I accidentally replied to the wrong comment. I was liking your comment and opened up a reply on it but I forgot to clear your name tag from it (I'm lazy and didn't want to scroll up to OP lol). My bad☹️ But yeah, I did read your comment and I completely agree with what you said😊
To be a Jockey was the only wish I ever wished for myself - but , alas , I grew too tall to keep my weight low enough "Of All The Words Of Mice And Men , The Saddest Are These : WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ?" 😔 💔 😔
هكذا الغرب يبني جيل يعرف الفروسيه. لهذا التعليم حكمه التناغم بين الفارس والفرس ينشأ من حب لأن الاتجاه واحد والهدف واحد ولن تبني علاقه بين الفارس والفرس الا بعد بناء علاقه حب بين الفارس والفرس ولا يركب الفرس الا فارس واحد في كل مرحله ليجتاز بها مرحله
l u c i a You’re joking right? That whole “racehorses get sent to slaughter” propaganda is absolute bullshit. 7% of the horse in kill pens are thoroughbreds. The rest are QHs, drafts, ponies, etc... most TBs get rehomed to be restarted for jumping, dressage, cross country, barrel racing, trails, etc.. and the ones that don’t are used for breeding. I own a 5 year old OTTB, he won absolutely nothing even though he had 4 starts. He was rehomed at 3 to a reputable trainer who restarted him, taught him the basics, and then I got him. You know absolutely jackshit about thoroughbreds.
I am sorry for people who are FOR Jockeys but I am against them because they continuously whip the horse and push the horse =. I understand they are race horses but to me this is not a very nice sport. And I don't care if I get hate from this so if you are going to hate just don't bother
+K C123 yea definitely beside the fact they are started 3 years too young . Are constantly used in drugs if they really run . Some horses lungs explode and some hearts . Some drugs Num pain so they can still run . They whip the horses with enough force to make visible impact . I have many OTTB's and all of them were thrown to the side and. Forgotten literally ..they weren't fed ,worked , or bathed . I hate all racing and the way they use the bit too control not trust or body signals or partner . I Have a jockey in my family and he shocked all of the horses he rode to make them go faster . The way some of people treat the horses is despicable. They should've never stepped near one
+Ty the Equestrian may I ask is that in America or Europe ? fair point I know there is a lot of horses treated terrible by the owners and but I've seen good trainers who treat the horses well plus if it wasn't for racing alot of the horses we love and care for would not of even been born
+Ty the Equestrian not all of us are like that, please don't slam jockeys into one category. The people you're mentioning are a minority, not a majority. In the uk, you can get your jockey license suspended for excessive whipping, drugs are a rarity, and horses lungs and hearts can 'explode' during recreational riding too!
I don't like it when people use horses for racing like this. I bet it's so stressful living a life like this for a horse who doesn't want it. They don't even have a say in it, it's kind of sad.. they're not toys.
+Kelly Mcheart I don't think that is correct though as that would pay about £21k a year lol....it is probably more like £12k a year...if that ....yard work is always low paid x
It's all in the Weight, not in the height. But chances are if you're tall you're going to naturally have more bone and mass, and it'll be harder to keep the weight down as you get older. Some jockeys have been known to be almost 6ft tall
ya’ll need to understand that horse racing can be bad OR good, dont fit ALL jockeys into one category because not all of them are ignorant. but yes horse racing can be bad but there are two sides of a story.
how come all the horses are brown? is it like all racing horses are brown? no, they're not, are they? i used to ride a horse called Bella who was supposed to be a racing horse but couldn't be (i never understood why) but she's uuhhh... she's gone now is all i'll say. :( but anyways she was brown. point is i do horse ride, but not in a professional academy thing or anything. i have my lessons on a farm. but i've always wondered why, in places like this, the horses always are brown.
ErinOcelotl :3 its because Bays and Chestnuts are the most common colour in thoroughbreds. There are grey and black racers around to but just not as common.
The bits...the whips, the chains, they just bother me, and the stalling, such beautiful creatures shouldn't experience being shoved in a stall and being whipped and experience pain through a bit...sorry but I'm against racing and always will be, I know some people like it and they think the horses like it but it's not true, the horse doesn't run for money, they run either because they're playing, or they're running from a predator, no matter how well these horses are treated, this just isn't natural, horses don't love this, they don't like spending their days in a stall and only taken out for exercise and racing. These horses should be in open pasture, 24/7 like their ancestors. Some people might like racing, I don't, but people need to put the horse first and stop thinking about what they'll win if they force a horse to run
Scarlet. 5561 Unfortunately as true as that is, thoroughbreds are domestic animals and rely on us to look after them. It's also really sad that there isn't enough equestrians to take on retired racehorses. Hundreds retire each year in the UK and it's a hassle to find time and money to retrain them. At the raceyard I do work experience on weekends and I have fallen in love with this mare and I am planning on buying her when she retires and retraining her to be my general riding horse. She's not a good racer, comes last in almost every race and I heard her owner say that she's losing him money and he doesn't want her back on his farm when she retires. I know the raceyard that I go to treats the horses really well with good facilities but I'm also not ignorant to this racing world either.
Horse raccing is taking a horse who is to Young to be ridden, let alone galloped for 7 minutes straight pushing it past its limits , then disposing of it when it breaks. Even if a horse gives it everything it's got, if it Is not making profit it is sent to a slaughterhouse. Horse raccing is not a sport it's just the exploiting of a beautiful animal and making it look good in the eyes of the public.
Actually a horse started at 2 is less prone to injury then a horse started at 3 is through multiple examinations by the racing examination vets and all recorded injuries at track. Also the term gallop isn't used by exercise riders who actually spend time with racehorses, same for jockeys. A full gallop, or better known as a breeze, is maybe put into place once or twice a month for 3 minutes. The rest is trot and 'canter' sets as you non excersize riders say. Really the canter set is called a gallop, it's a quicker canter but slower then the full gallop. Honestly it's like my track warm up, I run an 800m, walk 200m, run 800m and it continues. If I take a break after I run the mile. Training isn't abusive and should never be. If that horse didn't want to be ridden damn right it'll show you it doesn't want to be ridden which goes for every horse in every discipline. These jockeys and riders know very well that when it comes to racing, it's the most life-threatening sport for humans. Running doesn't hurt a horse, but if you lose a stirrup going 40mph on a hot blooded thoroughbred and fall off boom you're paralyzed and can never walk again. These horses are never overworked I push my horse to do their best like my trainer pushes me. If you feel like that horse is being lazy I get out my crop and use it as my way of saying "stop being lazy" honestly I hate getting up at 7am to go to the barn and I bet the horse hates it to but there is 0% abuse cases in the majority of horse racing barns. Yes there are racehorse abusers but there are also abusers in dressage, western disciplines, and showjumping.
Ok so they are groomed twice a day every day rode out 5 days of the week fresh bed every night praised on national telivision yah definitely unfortunate. Just go away
I rather spend that 30K on a normal horse,and i rather do cross country,and jumping....and if i ever will get a horse i'm gonna teach and learn how to ride without a sadle and bridles,because sometimes(all the time) i feel sorry for horses that have riders who are too agrressive,or you know when they riding and they keep the bridles too tight and they hands are not even staying down...ugh this is maddening,i don't wanna see animals suffering just because peoples have a lot money. You can get an older horse,or a retired horse and you can make a life better...why would you go to a school where you learn how to make an animal suffer. Btw i bet there are a lot peoples out there who have just a little money,but they hearts are on it's palace and they actually know how it feels when a horse *trust* you and become your *friend* not your *slave*... Congratulasion humanity,you've done again something very...terrible thing against animals who supposed to be free and wild and have a *life*.
Is it just me or is racing now also slowly taken over by women? I'm a woman and a rider, so I see why this would happen.... 50.000 girls and one boy in the stable where I spent most of my childhood. LOL But I really love riding men. C'MON guys, cars are boring!
@@Khenfu_Cake Screaming Secretariat on a video irrelevant to Secretariat makes no sense nor is it relevant. That's what the question marks were about, why are you getting so worked up?
Tineke, I understand your concern, but these horses don't run at "dangerous speeds". That is shown per the public injury database. Injuries are very closely monitored in racing and the jockey club makes every possible effort to bring down the rate. These horses are treated like royalty. When a horse does get injured EVERY effort is made to save the horse. Barbaro for example, broke down and his owners spent MILLIONS trying to save him before ultimately making the decision to euthanize for laminitis (which had nothing to do with racing or the injury, it was something completely different). The Jockey Club does not permit horses to be slaughtered, in fact racehorses are microchipped to prevent going to slaughter.
Megan Proffitt Actually the horses do run at highly dangerous speeds. Horses are not supposed to gallop for that long, let alone at those speeds. 500 race horses die each year, and injuries can rank up to over 1,000 per year. The jockeys can also treat the animals like crap. Yes, some jockeys treat their horses amazingly, but the jockeys have to use wips, which can tear away at the nerves or tissue in the skin, and some other horrible items to make the horses go faster. There are also jockeys who will beat their horses if they don't win. Some of the baby horses they use are barely finished developing by the time they start racing. Sadly the racing world is not as great as it seems on the outside. Even The Jockey Club has its horrible parts to it.
@@jamesburks8954 Well,because horses are pushed to their limits,abused and punished for not being good enough. Whole racing industry is a big hell hole for horses. They kill thousand of them every year,not even counting the ones sent to slaughter. Yes,that's abuse and i'm sick of people saying "it's just a sport". It is not,it's a nightmare for the animals.
At 1:52 I was like HEELS DOWN!!!! Oh no her heels aren't down!!

but buying a retired race horse can save its life many people do it
Just like dog racing of the greyhounds they just put them down when they get to old or stop winning but people can adopt them as well to save their lives.

I don't agree with Racing as young horses who aren't fast enough get sent to a slaughter house

Then why can't you understand when you're pushing a horse too far? A horse shouldn't be defined by the speed it runs at, nor should it be not understood or cared for. You can't build a relationship with a horse by training it too fast, too soon, and then racing it for a few years, and sending it afterwards to an auction where it'll be bought by a kill buyer.
1) These horses aren't "pushed too far"
2) They are not defined by their speed.
3) Actually jockeys DO have relationships with horses. The horses know them and perk their ears when they see them.
4) Racehorses aren't sent to slaughter. That's illegal per racing rules and anyone doing it loses their license forever
A champion racehorse would absolutely not be sold to a butcher. That's like sending a Ferrari to the scrapyard.
They would probably end up retiring to some farm and used for breeding if not sold for insane amounts of money to someone who just wants to own a former race champion because of the prestige.
@Rebster Oh, sorry about that. I accidentally replied to the wrong comment. I was liking your comment and opened up a reply on it but I forgot to clear your name tag from it (I'm lazy and didn't want to scroll up to OP lol). My bad☹️
But yeah, I did read your comment and I completely agree with what you said😊
To be a Jockey was the only wish I ever wished for myself - but , alas , I grew too tall to keep my weight low enough

Hi there🙋
Wait so they put green riders with green horses?????
They usually put new riders on more experienced ex-racehorses, a little tamer than a 3 year old but they can still put you in a ditch.
I ride a horse but not like that I do barrels and jumping that's it though
I want make horse jockey but how?
Omfg i want that so damn BADDDD

Horse racing in cruel, when it’s the end of a racehorses career it shouldn’t be the end of its life!

You’re joking right? That whole “racehorses get sent to slaughter” propaganda is absolute bullshit. 7% of the horse in kill pens are thoroughbreds. The rest are QHs, drafts, ponies, etc... most TBs get rehomed to be restarted for jumping, dressage, cross country, barrel racing, trails, etc.. and the ones that don’t are used for breeding. I own a 5 year old OTTB, he won absolutely nothing even though he had 4 starts. He was rehomed at 3 to a reputable trainer who restarted him, taught him the basics, and then I got him. You know absolutely jackshit about thoroughbreds.

I am sorry for people who are FOR Jockeys but I am against them because they continuously whip the horse and push the horse =. I understand they are race horses but to me this is not a very nice sport.
And I don't care if I get hate from this so if you are going to hate just don't bother
Fair point but those horses are treated like royalty most of the time
+K C123 yea definitely beside the fact they are started 3 years too young . Are constantly used in drugs if they really run . Some horses lungs explode and some hearts . Some drugs Num pain so they can still run . They whip the horses with enough force to make visible impact . I have many OTTB's and all of them were thrown to the side and. Forgotten literally ..they weren't fed ,worked , or bathed . I hate all racing and the way they use the bit too control not trust or body signals or partner . I Have a jockey in my family and he shocked all of the horses he rode to make them go faster . The way some of people treat the horses is despicable. They should've never stepped near one
+Ty the Equestrian may I ask is that in America or Europe ? fair point I know there is a lot of horses treated terrible by the owners and but I've seen good trainers who treat the horses well plus if it wasn't for racing alot of the horses we love and care for would not of even been born
+Ty the Equestrian not all of us are like that, please don't slam jockeys into one category. The people you're mentioning are a minority, not a majority. In the uk, you can get your jockey license suspended for excessive whipping, drugs are a rarity, and horses lungs and hearts can 'explode' during recreational riding too!
ya im totally on your side they can also drug them too
I don't like it when people use horses for racing like this. I bet it's so stressful living a life like this for a horse who doesn't want it. They don't even have a say in it, it's kind of sad.. they're not toys.

you have to pay £30,000 to get in?
+Kelly Mcheart They said that's the starting pay
+Kelly Mcheart I don't think that is correct though as that would pay about £21k a year lol....it is probably more like £12k a year...if that ....yard work is always low paid x
+Hazel B I think if depends on who's horses you ride and how much you win in races as well but yeah £30k sounds a bit much for a starting pay ahah
+EquiiJemma they said $30,000.
You're only there 9 weeks and it costs like £400
Interesting how all their horses are chestnuts
Do you have to be short to be a jockey? Because if you do then I can't be a jockey 😞
No height limit
It's all in the Weight, not in the height. But chances are if you're tall you're going to naturally have more bone and mass, and it'll be harder to keep the weight down as you get older.
Some jockeys have been known to be almost 6ft tall
ya’ll need to understand that horse racing can be bad OR good, dont fit ALL jockeys into one category because not all of them are ignorant. but yes horse racing can be bad but there are two sides of a story.
And... how much do you think does it cost? 😅
At just 30,000$!! That's more then what my mom pays for a house tf
😍😍
how come all the horses are brown?
is it like all racing horses are brown? no, they're not, are they? i used to ride a horse called Bella who was supposed to be a racing horse but couldn't be (i never understood why)
but she's uuhhh... she's gone now is all i'll say. :( but anyways she was brown.
point is i do horse ride, but not in a professional academy thing or anything. i have my lessons on a farm. but i've always wondered why, in places like this, the horses always are brown.
ErinOcelotl :3 its because Bays and Chestnuts are the most common colour in thoroughbreds. There are grey and black racers around to but just not as common.
BR??
The bits...the whips, the chains, they just bother me, and the stalling, such beautiful creatures shouldn't experience being shoved in a stall and being whipped and experience pain through a bit...sorry but I'm against racing and always will be, I know some people like it and they think the horses like it but it's not true, the horse doesn't run for money, they run either because they're playing, or they're running from a predator, no matter how well these horses are treated, this just isn't natural, horses don't love this, they don't like spending their days in a stall and only taken out for exercise and racing. These horses should be in open pasture, 24/7 like their ancestors. Some people might like racing, I don't, but people need to put the horse first and stop thinking about what they'll win if they force a horse to run
Scarlet. 5561 Unfortunately as true as that is, thoroughbreds are domestic animals and rely on us to look after them. It's also really sad that there isn't enough equestrians to take on retired racehorses. Hundreds retire each year in the UK and it's a hassle to find time and money to retrain them. At the raceyard I do work experience on weekends and I have fallen in love with this mare and I am planning on buying her when she retires and retraining her to be my general riding horse. She's not a good racer, comes last in almost every race and I heard her owner say that she's losing him money and he doesn't want her back on his farm when she retires. I know the raceyard that I go to treats the horses really well with good facilities but I'm also not ignorant to this racing world either.
You clearly don’t ride horses nor been on a thoroughbred. They love to run and yes they should have pasture time but not 24/7
Do your research
Why i never see a block jockey in England
I'm not gonna use a stick on one horse.
esau love girl
Horse raccing is taking a horse who is to Young to be ridden, let alone galloped for 7 minutes straight pushing it past its limits , then disposing of it when it breaks. Even if a horse gives it everything it's got, if it Is not making profit it is sent to a slaughterhouse. Horse raccing is not a sport it's just the exploiting of a beautiful animal and making it look good in the eyes of the public.
Actually a horse started at 2 is less prone to injury then a horse started at 3 is through multiple examinations by the racing examination vets and all recorded injuries at track. Also the term gallop isn't used by exercise riders who actually spend time with racehorses, same for jockeys. A full gallop, or better known as a breeze, is maybe put into place once or twice a month for 3 minutes. The rest is trot and 'canter' sets as you non excersize riders say. Really the canter set is called a gallop, it's a quicker canter but slower then the full gallop. Honestly it's like my track warm up, I run an 800m, walk 200m, run 800m and it continues. If I take a break after I run the mile. Training isn't abusive and should never be. If that horse didn't want to be ridden damn right it'll show you it doesn't want to be ridden which goes for every horse in every discipline. These jockeys and riders know very well that when it comes to racing, it's the most life-threatening sport for humans. Running doesn't hurt a horse, but if you lose a stirrup going 40mph on a hot blooded thoroughbred and fall off boom you're paralyzed and can never walk again. These horses are never overworked I push my horse to do their best like my trainer pushes me. If you feel like that horse is being lazy I get out my crop and use it as my way of saying "stop being lazy" honestly I hate getting up at 7am to go to the barn and I bet the horse hates it to but there is 0% abuse cases in the majority of horse racing barns. Yes there are racehorse abusers but there are also abusers in dressage, western disciplines, and showjumping.
They are not fooling me. Horse racing is flat out abuse and should be banned.
You have a lot to learn about horses and a whole lot to unlearn.
The clouds restrict us from seeing the sun.
Am if you were a horse training would you spend money and waste a stable on a useless horse
poor racing horses :(
Kristine Arne
Why?
Ok so they are groomed twice a day every day rode out 5 days of the week fresh bed every night praised on national telivision yah definitely unfortunate. Just go away
LEANDRO
Hi I am jokey I need to coming your stable
Do you think they also train them to kill their horses for pet food after the lose?
I rather spend that 30K on a normal horse,and i rather do cross country,and jumping....and if i ever will get a horse i'm gonna teach and learn how to ride without a sadle and bridles,because sometimes(all the time) i feel sorry for horses that have riders who are too agrressive,or you know when they riding and they keep the bridles too tight and they hands are not even staying down...ugh this is maddening,i don't wanna see animals suffering just because peoples have a lot money. You can get an older horse,or a retired horse and you can make a life better...why would you go to a school where you learn how to make an animal suffer. Btw i bet there are a lot peoples out there who have just a little money,but they hearts are on it's palace and they actually know how it feels when a horse *trust* you and become your *friend* not your *slave*...
Congratulasion humanity,you've done again something very...terrible thing against animals who supposed to be free and wild and have a *life*.

Only “equestrians” that only care for the self would go there cuz they don’t ever think about the poor horse
I search job,can you helps me,I m experience men
Is it just me or is racing now also slowly taken over by women? I'm a woman and a rider, so I see why this would happen.... 50.000 girls and one boy in the stable where I spent most of my childhood. LOL But I really love riding men. C'MON guys, cars are boring!
Seleuce wow that escalated quickly Jesus!
Eh, the racing industry is still quite make dominated.

This sport should be illegal
Ashleigh Devaney
Why?
Tineke, I understand your concern, but these horses don't run at "dangerous speeds". That is shown per the public injury database. Injuries are very closely monitored in racing and the jockey club makes every possible effort to bring down the rate. These horses are treated like royalty. When a horse does get injured EVERY effort is made to save the horse. Barbaro for example, broke down and his owners spent MILLIONS trying to save him before ultimately making the decision to euthanize for laminitis (which had nothing to do with racing or the injury, it was something completely different). The Jockey Club does not permit horses to be slaughtered, in fact racehorses are microchipped to prevent going to slaughter.
OMG GET A GRIP
Megan Proffitt Actually the horses do run at highly dangerous speeds. Horses are not supposed to gallop for that long, let alone at those speeds. 500 race horses die each year, and injuries can rank up to over 1,000 per year. The jockeys can also treat the animals like crap. Yes, some jockeys treat their horses amazingly, but the jockeys have to use wips, which can tear away at the nerves or tissue in the skin, and some other horrible items to make the horses go faster. There are also jockeys who will beat their horses if they don't win. Some of the baby horses they use are barely finished developing by the time they start racing. Sadly the racing world is not as great as it seems on the outside. Even The Jockey Club has its horrible parts to it.
Dislike racing always will
Maddy Poiry
Alrighty!
Megan Proffitt lol was pretty direct about it xd
Yea lol
Thank you for your voice of reason.
Ok then but I really dont vare so fuck off

Horse abuse in the making.. Yay.
america is worse than other places. and this is coming from an American.
How?
Shut up, it’s a sport. How is it abuse?
@@jamesburks8954 Well,because horses are pushed to their limits,abused and punished for not being good enough. Whole racing industry is a big hell hole for horses. They kill thousand of them every year,not even counting the ones sent to slaughter. Yes,that's abuse and i'm sick of people saying "it's just a sport". It is not,it's a nightmare for the animals.
No
