Educating yearlings in Australia

Спорт

The education of our yearlings is comprehensive and thorough. It all starts at Woodlands Stud where they spend the first 18 months of their life. They then head over to Kelvinside, our education facility where they spend 4 weeks learning to become and racehorse. Take a look.
Godolphin is the global thoroughbred breeding and horseracing team founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.

    Nobody should even be breaking in horses at 2 years old. Much less fully broke to ride and being entered into extremely hard on the body races. I mean it’s been a known and accepted fact by vets around the world that their bones aren’t even fully connected at 2 years old. It’s insane people keep just…ignoring that. And have horses breaking down at an insane and increasing rate on the track.

    your right in that their bodies aren't fully prepared for high stress which is why I believe 2 year olds shouldn't start racing until late that year early 3 but breaking in a proper manner like you see in this video is not going to cause harm, it will give the horses a chance to learn while their still young so it won't be a shock to them and before they reach the age where such training can be much less efficient when their in that terrible 2's mental stage. ideally it could be done later but changes like that are coming with the times, what the people seen in this video are doing is not wrong though not 110% ideal to some vets that have no understanding of the industry and very little experience with the breed. Just because peta and some of their "experts" believe all domesticated species should be released into the wild doesn't mean it would be in the best interests of the species.

    A yearling or even a two or three year old horse STILL is TOO YOUNG for this kind of 'job'. Horses mature around the age of 6 or 7... before that their bones aren't fully grown and dense enough. The education should start around the age of two with some horsemanship and desensitization, at the three with serious groundwork and MAYBE around the age of four light ridden work and gradually built on that.

For disciplines like showjumping they're typically ridden at 3, also, racehorses are not worked hard. They'll train for about 4 hours per week and take a 2 week break, do it all over again. These horses do not gallop at all for typical training session. They only do a quickened canter as well as trot sets.

Either a horse is trained to be respectful (from foal-days on) or not. My horse is 4 , gets daily lessons in ground manners, horsemanship, lunging , etc. Horse racing is animal abuse, wether they are two years old, three years or four. There are "scientfic studies" (to quote you) that found proof that horse racing for a horse is equal to fleeing from a predator in the wild. That is the only time a horse would go a this kind of speed (within a herd):. What is horse racing? Exactly... a herd of of horses racing at full speed in one direction - absolut stress/adrenaline... time after time after time. No wonder 90% or race horses have ulcers. Do your scientific studies also show the horses 5 or 8 years from now? Having arthritic joints, kissing spines,...? I would bet money on the fact that race horses have a significantly larger percentage of these problems than horses of similar ages that have been under saddle later and have been worked correctly.

I dare you to find me studies to proof otherwise. That is the equivalent of putting a 20kg backpag on child's back (6 years). You wouldn't do that! But you put 50 or 60 kg human on a "child-"horse. For the sake of money, fame or other reasons that don't matter to a horse or its health, you ignore all the facts and studies that proof that a horse at the age of 1, 2 or even 3 isn't old enough to be ridden. Every thinking and feeling human being SHOULD KNOW that THIS ISN'T RIGHT. I heard all those arguments about how race horses are bred to mature earlier. That is bullshit. One can't change thousands of years of genetics in 100 years. My horse is 4, a coldblood, wights 800 kg and I wouldn't put my 70kg on his back right now. I started him in groundwork/manners and just now in-hand work so that the he can develop the right muscles and knows all the aids to bear my weight around the age of 5. And he probably will be healthy at the age of 20, because he raised properly, lived in a heard all his life, ate hay instead of all the supplements and medicaments for stress induced ulcers, had no bone fissures and only mild arthritis instead of being crippled by it, no swayback by being ridden when the spine wasn't fused yet. Etc..... In the end horse racing wasn't made for the horse, it was created by the human to have fun, fame, earn money.... no horse would ever choose this. It is animal cruelty.

    They would go faster running in the paddock. They only have a rider on their back for about 3 weeks total. If they didn't have this early phase of education and the other short period of education they would be more susceptible to lower leg injuries including fractures, OCD's, ligament and tendon injuries. If you care to look into it a bit more, look up bone remodelling in horses. it happens every 6 weeks and their bone remodels to strengthen for the type of work they do.

    Starting later would cause worse breakdowns, Wolff's law helps support it. Let me give you two examples of how the owners care for the horses, and the horses love it: - 2019 Kentucky Derby, Omaha Beach was an excitable favourite, possibly a triple crown winner. Unfortunately a few days before the large race, he got a small issue, he was immediately withdrawn. Omaha beach had such a big chance to win such a big race but the owners care so much, he was withdrawn for an issue without much questioning - 2019 Preakness, BodeExpress, the colt suffered a bad beginning and the jockey was unseated, he continued on with ears pricked and doing what he loves. A rider attempted to catch him in the race, but he purposefully avoided it, swerving into a spot where he couldn't be taken. He ran a clean race too and even attempted a second lap. He showed signs of the enjoyment of being a racehorse. All racehorses are treated CRAZY good. Just look at Godolphin's videos. These people aren't gonna throw away 50k+ horses. Thoroughbreds aren't the majority of the horses who end up in slaughter, each jockey club has a STRICT set of rules and they are improving MORE and MORE. Those rules include: (may vary for each jockey club) - Horses may only be whipped 7 times - Horses may not be sent to slaughter - Drugging is a BIG nono - All horses need vet checks before racing and after, some places may need TWO vet checks, and this does include Drug Testing.
