Typical reaction to someone who knows NOTHING of the sport. idiot. I hate how everyone is so quick to point out and sterotype the few BAD owners.

poor horses!!!!!!!

@blondie42685 no offence .... but yes u can. it's very easy the sulution is called "beating" and "whimping" ... as u can see in every horse sport... it's not a good result but it can be done. a lot of people get paid for doing that ... called "Bad Trainers" ... there are good ones too ... as I said no offence ... I'm just sayin...

i like alot of the pictures, i just dont understand the video atall or why it was put with the song you chose?

[blondie42685]

@hidenseeker424 When i said force i meant BRUTE physical force. You can NOT psychologically FORCE a horse to do something, because that is persuading them to obey or asking for there trust. When you approach a horse Psychologically you are not beating them to a pulp until they leave the starting gate you are working to gain there trust. And i agree that the stubbornest of ponies will jump a fence if you earn there trust, NOT force them over the fence.

@blondie42685 I was talking about you saying that you can't force a horse into doing anything. Horses are herd animals, and the majority of them are not terribly dominant. If you know what psychological and physical buttons to push, you're very likely to get them to do almost whatever they want. It's too much work for most horses to fight unless they are being horribly hurt; even the stubbornest of ponies will jump a fence with the right rider.

@hidenseeker424 I agree that sticking a horse in a starting gate in a stressful situation is absolutely NOT for all horses.  But I've never been on a horse that didn't want to gallop across an open field on a hack. (Including a Nijinsky baby who would lay down at the starting gate before a race, and gallop nicely across a field on a hack) Never did i say RACING was for all horses. And at what point exactly did i "underestimate the power of psychology in training"?

[hidenseeker424]

@blondie42685 I'm not sure you can equate an instinct with enjoying something. Plenty of dogs have a fight instinct, but does that mean they ENJOY fighting? Not so much. I'm with you that some horses do, in fact, enjoy running, but plenty don't. My OTTB found racing too stressful, and was terrible at it. Dressage, however, turned out to be his forte. And never underestimate the power of psychology in training...

i dont get it

[LetsJustRideAway]

Okay... this video was kind of confusing... was it about horse abuse? Because a lot of the pictures, the horses were not being abused...

Those racehorses their not being neglactied my uncle and dad are in the racing buisness and some of those trainers spend alot of money on those horses and some are just plain spoiled over there on the track
