Some horses seem to have a good ability to balance on slick ground.  They aren,t always as fast as the ones who go best on a dry track but they have good balance and traction, and don't mind the crap flung in their faces as much.  This may be born in, but it can be trained to some degree.  Mostly it is temperment and balence.

Use the same aid as you would for canter.  Once you are cantering you will need to push your horse alot more to get it in to a gallop.

A horse has different moods just like humans. A horse will get depressed when he knows he has had a bad performance and will sulk, not eat, or train as well as before. Same on the other end, if he wins. He will prance whinny and display confidence.\nA good example of this behavior is portrayed in the movie "Sea Biscuit."   \nYes, you can detect if a horse wants to or doesn't want to race on a particular day. Watch him in the paddock where they are saddled. You can see his behavior and tell if he is limping, another reason he may not want to run.

consult will probably be the answer you want but it also makes the Shakespearean word uncolts (deprives of a horse!)

Horses weigh 2000 pounds.  Their ankles (where most breaks occur) and lower legs are as thin or thinner than ours.\nThat is one reason.\nThe second reason is that in order for a bone to heal properly it has to be stayed off of.  Horses are unable to stay off a leg for the length of time it takes to heal a bone.  So they would end up breaking it over and over again.  Thus, when a break is too extreme, the horse is put down.

This is going to be a long process. The answer is TLC and personal contact with the horse on a daily basis. The horse will have to learn to trust you, since he/she was abused. It is a long and slow process, but it can be acomplished. Also talk in a calm voice constantly when along side the horse. Scrathing his ears and neck also help calm the horse and shows you will not be hurting him.

Pull on the bit (not so hard that you hurt the horse’s mouth) and try to sit heavily on the saddle so that the horse feels your weight.  If that doesn’t work you can pull a bit harder on the bit.  If that doesn’t work, pull on the reins briefly and then release, then pull again, then release, etc. This makes it harder for the horse to get up on the bit and just ride through your pressure on his/her mouth.  The only time you can ever pull hard enough on the bit to really hurt the horse is if it is a serious emergency.

Below is a website that will help you make sure you have the correct size harness for your horse, as well as various pictures of horses in harness.\n\nThe collar harness pictured is better than the breastcollar type, which causes rubs on the shoulders.

Well most owners prefer to opt out of Preakness if they loose the first leg. The reason is that Preakness is too close to the Kentucky ( within 2 weeks). Since the triple crown is out of question for horses who lost Kentucky derby, and also since the purse is lower they prefer to either go direct to Belmont or take a rest. You have to realize that the horses are on tight schedule before the Kentucky trying to get enough purses to qualify for the Kentucky. In short why burn the horse if you cant get the Kentucky derby and have a shot at triple crown.

Get someone to hold the horses bridle while you get on,and then let the person lead you around for a while until you get your confidence back.you could also try a different, more placid animal. Falling off is never as bad as it seems,as you found out!

A simple 8!\n\n8 choices for the first horse\n7 choices for the 2nd horse\n6 choices for the 3rd...\n...\n2 choices for the 7th horse\n1 choice for the last horse\n\n8! = 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 40,320 ways\n\nThis assumes that left and right arrangements are different.

Understand the nature of the horse. The TB has been taught tension on the reins means RUN. The jockey's have a snug hold and balance the way they do and it puts a snug hold...so when you take ahold of her she's hearing you say you want to go faster...and that's what she does. You need to "rewire" her. Teach her to flex around to both sides...gently give and take with one rein and work a little more each day until she can curve her head around to your toe on both sides. Work on circles, quiet, relaxing. When she speeds up don't fight pulling back...she has to learn she isn't doing that anymore. Time and infinite patience and repetition. Even at a walk and trot when she speeds up circle her. She needs to learn a totally different way - and it's like she knows French and you're speaking English and she gets every so often a word she knows but not the entire message. \nHope this helps. \nAnother good source of feedback is www.barnmate.com

Declarations are not in yet for this meeting, but will be later this afternoon - check out www.racingpost.co.uk and click Cards on the left hand side of the page, then select the date you want and finally the course.\n\nAs a rough guide when picking out horses it is always a good idea to look at them in the paddock before the race.  Check to see if they look well (shiny coat, bright eyes, not looking overweight) and how they are reacting to the surroundings.  As a rule of thumb a horse that misbehaves before a race will not run well as they are not concentrating on their job.\n\nFinally pick up a Racing Post tomorrow morning and read through the form guides before you get to the meeting.\n\nHappy racing!

try not using dominant buck , just use doe estrus. it will lure mature bucks and also make sure you are looking downwind from where your rattling because they,ll circle around and generally will come in with the wind in their face .
