Question
hello .. could you please tell me about a thoroughbred race horses schedule and how they are trained.. i am new to off the track thoroughbreds and i would like to know how they are trained and what the life is like. most of the time..
and question.. people i have talked to say that race horses get the best of everything.. best stalls grain and trailors..

Also how are the racehorses trained to load? in a trailor??

Answer
I HAVE TRAINED MANY HORSES AND ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. THEY HAVE A GREAT LIFE ON THE RACE TRACK. THEY GALLOP AND BREEZE BEFORE RACING. THEY GET A BATH AND A LONG COOLING OFF WALK AFTER THEY TRAIN. THEY GET THEIR LEGS LOOKED AFTER EVERY DAY AND GET A GOOD BRUSHING AND CARE EVERY DAY ALSO. THEY RACE USUALLY AT LEAST ONCE OT TWICE A MONTH. THEY GO TO THE FARM FOR A GOOD REST AFTER THE RACING SEASON IS OVER. THEY HAVE A VET LOOK AT THEM IF NEED BE AND A BLACKSMITH CHECK THEIR SHOES EVERY 30 DAYS. LOTS OF CARE AND HARD WORK GOES INTO TRAINING A HORSE TO RACE. MOST RACE HORSES ARE ALREADY TRAILER BROKEN BEFORE THEY GET TO THE TRACK, SO THEY SHOULD LOAD FOR YOU WITH NOT TOO MUCH PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD ONLY A FEW BAD LOADERS IN THE PAST. THANKS ed hess
