Yeah mate . they're playing like a pack of dogs would when they all enjoying freedom in togeather. They're a herd/pack animal . you know this. Racing isn't Fun for horses. they shake , they tremble, they're prancing around in the mounting yard full of nerves. they'd much rather be in your paddock . You know this . I know this. I've worked with horses and vet/with vets all my working life. there's no No need for your Study on this ? more Basic 101. The Racing with Whips and Jockeys is just Only A Human Pursuit . something we enjoy . not so much the horse. So we have to use CUE's to get them to perform . just like a circus animal really. But if the horse had it's choice , it would not be indulging in these activities. Farrier's, vet tubes down the nose, race Starting stalls . I've seen a HEAP of HORSES that hate these things. haven't you?? haven't you seen horses broken in ? the secret is they hate saddles, gigs , floats and that . but have to get used to it as have NO CHOICE , because we force it All on them. It's Not stuff they would do themselves 🤣😂 Plain as Day is Real Jockeys with Whips, Hoods on their heads , burrs and shit like that. they are even more annoying to them mate. You know this. Eat some grass . that;s their favourite. -
Well if you ever watched a field full of yearlings Gamma, you'd have a different view. They regularly race each other and often reach the far end of the paddock and turn around and race each other back. I assume they do so for fun, though there might be an innate element of practising to avoid predators because the slowest one ends up their dinner. Whatever, they do it without a whip or a jockey to brandish it in sight. Have you read the studies on this? -

It’s started already…. For the first time that I can remember, the Tab didn’t offer bet returns on first 2 races today at Riccarton….dont need to when your control nz -
Really .what ? Do you not know anything about horse training or don't believe that horses prefer to eat grass ? . A favourite pass-time of theirs it is actually. Because you and some may be struggling with concepts once again lets get back to basics. Horse's only compete in races because People ask them too. The saddle being put on a cue for them. Horses only perform well in races (by running as fast they can ) because People ask them too . The jockeys body action and Implements such as Whips are a SURE FIRE Cue to race hard. Without these Cue's , the horse would stop. It would NOT go flat out and would probably Look for an exit from the race-course ( as ultimately any riderless horse does, when it no longer has cues from the rider/driver ) It doesn't want to be there. some would indeed stop and eat the grass . that's their favourite past-time. A horse would go fast on it's own accord if fleeing from danger. A Horse can see the whip as a danger . Also a rider or driver YELLING and Screeching at them , along with whip slapping , arm waving and that . like happens virtually Every race. These are the Human 'Cues" provided from the rider/driver to Get the horse 'moving forward at the rate you want it too or hope it can reach. The more DESPARATEly the CUE's are Applied , e. like louder the noise or whip action, the more Response and hopefully the near WIN is achieved by the Animal under them responding to the cue's .ask Tom Prebble last Sat. No Cue's ? No horse racing then . they're not all stupid. they'll look to leave the course or eat grass lol 😆 There you go for you and anyone wanting to use terms like ignamarmus to insult people. A BASIC lesson in what a Cue Is, designed to make horses pick up and go faster. BASIC 101. my pleasure to help you (and others) out that don't seem up to pace on horse behaviours. e.g sheepdogs use a whistle cue to perform their tasks . Did you know that? we're not allowed to use that cue during the race unfortunately , (a shame as as would of been effective and we do use it in training a fair bit ) because it's used as a cue for the horse to pee before (or after ) a race for swabbing and that. 🤣.
