Standardbred Race Horses

Question
I recently rescued a 4yr old Standardbred Race Horse.  What type of training techniques are used to train  Standardbreds for Sulke Racing?  I have retired her from racing, she will be pleasure rode only.  I just wanted to know what type of training she could of had. She raced for 2 years.  Thank you for any answers you can give me.

Answer
HI WELL I AM NOT A EXPERT ON THE STANDARDBRED HORSES, AS I WAS A THORUGHBRED HORSE TRAINER FOR OVER 30 YEARS, BUT THEY TRAIN MUCH MORE THEN WE DO A THOROUGHBRED. THEY TROT OR PACE THE HORSE MANY MANY MILES A DAY TO GET READY FOR A RACE AND THEN THEY EVEN WORK THE HORSE BEFORE THEY RUN THEM THE DAY OR NIGHT THEY ARE RACING.LOTS AND LOTS OF MILES OF TRAINING BEFORE THEY ARE READY TO RUN A RACE. BUT IF YOU HAVE RETIRED HER ,THEN I AM SURE  SHE WILL MAKE YOU A WONDERFUL PLEASURE HORSE FOR YOU TO ENJOY FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.   HOPE THAT HELPED YOU.  THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION -----  ED HESS
