All Aboard the Racehorse
Lou Robson from Thoroughbred Dressage looks into the 'full life' of the racehorse. From trainers, work riders, jockeys, physios, farrier, to the life past the post and what that looks like for everyone involved in the lives of the Thoroughbred
All Aboard the Racehorse
Over the Rail: Walk a Mile in Your Horses Shoes
“You cant understand someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes”
So how does it feel for our former racehorses with their natural balance? Are you willing to 'give it a go?'
In this episode I talk through how your ex racehorse is 'built for speed' and how you train the horse you have in front of you, not the one you want. All horses, regardless of breed are wider at the hips than compared to the shoulders. What separates the racehorse from other breeds is that you have the above ‘problem’ combined with; being croup high and having limbs that don't naturally ‘bend’ but stay in more of a ‘straighter’ action- so how does this affect their balance/training?
