In fact, Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, in fact, except for the princes in the Middle East, ordinary rich people, even if they like horses, will not directly buy famous racing horses, because there is no meaning. People who really love horses prefer to cultivate themselves and watch their horses grow up little by little, on the contrary, those who invest in horse racing, don't talk about whether they love horses or not, they at least love to bet on horses.

This love of horses and love of gambling are completely different states of mind.

As for what is the difference between those racehorses and ordinary horses?

This one is simple.

On the one hand, there is the issue of pedigree, a good pedigree can indeed make the horse have a better growth talent.

The second is the cultivation of all aspects.

I've talked about how to feed racehorses, and now I'm going to talk about how to train them.

The difference between a horse race and an ordinary horse in this respect can be described as a world of difference, and the training of a horse racing is even more complicated and difficult than the training of a human athlete to some extent.

The first is to find a good trainer who will have a lot of records in consecutive races, and seeing these can allow the trainer to train the horse to participate in the race. It is very important that a good trainer starts with a good foundation for his horse. A good foundation reduces the chances of problems arising. This foundation period can be extended for 3 months, at which point you can actually participate in the competition. For the first two weeks, it was mainly a brisk walk and a slow run, with 4 km per day (6 days a week) and 1 day of rest (just jogging). The first two weeks are called "slow practice", after which the horses are able to adapt to this training without problems and injuries.

The Weinstein trainer was said to have been hired for a lot of money, and when Zhou Fangyuan asked him, he showed Zhou Fangyuan a training sheet.

Training plan for the first two weeks (slow practice)

Monday

The first lap is a brisk walk of 2 km

The second lap is a 2km jog

The second lap is a 2km jog

Sunday

1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon, if possible, the horse can swim

If, after the above two weeks of practice, everything is doing well, it is necessary to increase the intensity of the horse's practice at this time. Usually the "brisk and jogging" exercise described above, but three times a week of strengthening exercises can allow the horse to do some more intense running, such as a 1000-meter brisk run on the second lap of the track, which lasts for two weeks, at which point the horse begins to have a more athlete-like appearance and more developed muscle elasticity.

For the third two weeks, the slow practice continues, and instead of the three times a week mentioned above, a more intense run is used on the second lap, and if I train the horses, I will have the horses run only one lap on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, starting with a brisk step, then a jogging and the last 600m is a three-quarter step. But I'm going to tell the rider not to let go too fast. A good rider is able to understand and follow the instructions of a trainer when preparing a horse for a race.

1 lap of 2 km, with a brisk start followed by a jogging run, and the last 600 m is a three-quarter stride, controlling the horse and mastering the pace.

1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon, if possible, the horse can swim

So far, the horses have had 2 weeks of "brisk walking and jogging", 2 weeks of "brisk walking and 3 times a week of fast running" and 2 weeks of "brisk walking and 3 quarters of a week", all of which took 6 weeks, so it is hoped that the horses will perform well by the midpoint of the training period.

Outside of track practice, there can be a short period of time to make a job changeover, and if the equipment allows, a good swimming plan can begin, and it is a good thing to swim the horse.

In a swimming pool, by the water's edge, or in a small river, let the horse see other horses swim or hold a little water in your hand for the horse to smell, and if the horse does not show nervousness or difficulty, splash a little water on the horse's legs and chest, which will reassure the horse that the water will not harm it and will not make it afraid. Whether it's swimming, riding, or doing something else related to horses, it's important to get confidence before you succeed.

It should also always be borne in mind that once a horse has gained confidence, he will work with his trainer. After observing other horses swimming a few times, the horse gains self-confidence, makes the horse stand near the water, makes it smell the water and induces the horse to stand in the water, such as to the horse's front knee. Once the horse's fear is removed, the horse can be allowed to enter the water. It is advisable to start with a short swimming time, such as 1 minute, and then (such as after a week) increase a small amount such as 2 minutes. However, increase to a maximum of 3 minutes of swimming time.

Now back to where the racehorse trains, the horse has 6 weeks of track practice and a possibly better swimming plan.

As you can see from the training plan, once the horse starts to add "fast practice" (2 weeks), then it can be seen whether the horse is training well or poorly. If you don't do the step, then you have to repeat the "fast step plus slow running" (slow exercise) every day, which is also very important, that is, before the fast step, you must warm up the horse, such as a fast walk of 400-600 meters, this fast step can prepare the horse's lungs and muscles, and can also help reduce the occurrence of problems, just like the motor of the car should be warmed up before driving.

When doing a horse's step, it is important not to overdo it, and if the horse cannot adapt to the demands of speed, it is necessary to reduce the load of the movement, perhaps once a week, which is suitable for most horses. However, some horses may require more strides, which is why an experienced trainer is necessary, so observing the condition of the horse is a good part of the daily routine.

After about week 8, the horse should be prepared for a stronger step, such as letting go of the 600m of the ride under control (let go but not using the whip) and telling the jockey to let go of the horse and let the horse sprint for the last 200 meters (but also not with the whip). After this attack, the trainer should observe the condition of the horse, the rate of breathing, should ask the rider how the horse is feeling, whether the horse has any energy left or if the horse is feeling tired, all these information is very important for the trainer, and as a plan for the future, it is important that an experienced rider can tell the trainer exactly everything he wants to know.

The general plan for the trainer is to start having the horse test the brake, usually 900 meters or 1000 meters, and the horse needs to be trained on how to enter the gate and how to rush out of the gate and start when the gate is open.

It is only natural that most horses have varying levels of nervousness and some excitement during their first brake attempt, as this is something unusual for the horses and they should be taught that the barrier is an integral part of horse racing. An experienced rider should be mentally prepared for the first brake test, and the trainer should also teach the rider what to do and what not to do. It is important that the horse exits the barrier quickly, otherwise when race day comes, the other horses have already run 50 to 100 meters out of the barrier, and their own horses are still at the barrier, which is very poor.

A good exit should be the same every time, even when the horse may not be fast at the start, but it is also better to have a position in the race, i.e. to keep up with other horses. If a horse is slow to start on the first brake test and does not perform as the trainer would like, don't worry and wait until 2 weeks later to give him another chance to try the brake. It should be understood that the test brake is not good, and these are all accumulation of experience for them, just like learning homework. When everything is fine with the two brake attempts, it is advisable to find a suitable race for them to participate in, preferably in an easier race, as if the horses were racing for the first time. If the horse runs last place, don't complain too much. Once a horse has experience in a race, the horse can improve a lot from it.

If anyone thinks that training a racehorse is easy, he is dreaming.

A good piece of advice for those who want to become a trainer is to have at least 5 years of experience before applying for a trainer's license. It is recommended that the best way to learn is to find a very experienced trainer to learn, just like studying in school, without a famous teacher you will not learn anything.

Horses in the car and other means of transportation has not yet been popularized, is a well-deserved king, every dignitary when going out, is riding a horse or carriage, not only in the civilian role has played a vital role, in the military field by the horse formed by the cavalry is also to make many countries invincible, horses in the history of the development of human civilization has a pivotal position, but with the emergence of cars and other means of transportation, the status of horses has been shaken, now horses can only appear in some horse races.

In China, it seems that horse racing is not much concerned, in fact, horse racing in the United Kingdom is a real aristocratic sport, especially the Queen of England, who is on standby for a long time, is the most loyal supporter of horse racing, every nobleman has to train equestrian performances since childhood, just like these nobles have to receive etiquette training since childhood, if a nobleman does not know equestrianism, other nobles will look down on it, and the most exciting may be the racing competition on the racetrack.

These performances are wonderful but behind them is the hard training and care of countless people to produce invincible horses, the British Lambourne Horse Farm is the most famous horse farm in the United Kingdom and even the world, where every horse is the pride of the sky, there is an intelligent horse training system, this system is like our usual roller coaster, but this roller coaster is to connect the horse to each position, but the system will automatically drive, and the horse will run slowly in it, so as to achieve training and detection.

In short, it is not easy to buy a horse, it is not easy to raise a horse, and it is even more difficult to find a horse.

Unless you are a person who is extremely fond of horse racing, it is best not to start training casually, because it is more difficult than most people think.

If you just like horses, then the best state is to have your own horse farm, which can let the horses run freely, which is the best way for ordinary people to train horses.

In addition, don't think that only horses are so expensive, in fact, horses are expensive, mainly because the horse itself is good enough, as well as the popular horse racing in Western countries, if you lack these two points, the price discrimination of horses is also very ordinary, there are many expensive pets in the world, and there are some, although the price is not as good as the horse, but it is not too bad.

For example, the Tibetan mastiff, the historical record price is 50 million soft sister coins, this Tibetan mastiff appeared in 13 years is the 10th China Agricultural Fair, according to the owner of the Tibetan mastiff Mr. Yang, this Tibetan mastiff is called the overlord, 2 years old, weighing 170 pounds. He bought it for 18 million yuan before, thinking that this is a superb Tibetan mastiff, and is ready to sell it for 50 million, which ranks second among the most expensive pets in the world.

Another example is metal chicken, the price is 5.97 million. This chicken comes from Indonesia and is black all over its body, with a few strands of cyan interspersed among its feathers. This kind of chicken is called a metal chicken, and the meat is black, the feathers are black, the comb is black, the mouth is black, and even the internal organs are black. Due to the rarity of very metal chickens, the success rate of breeding is not high, and the price is very expensive, 900,000 US dollars, about 5.97 million yuan of soft girls, known as "Rambo Henny".

White lion, 990,000, white lion, also known as albino African lion, is a variant of the Kruger lion, native to Africa. At present, the price of a little white lion is about 150,000 US dollars, which is about 990,000 yuan of soft sister coins.

Ashra cats, 610,000. Ashra is a mixed-breed cat with a pedigree between an African serval, an Asian leopard cat and a common domestic cat, and the price is as high as 610,000 yuan. When an adult "ashra" stands up, he can reach a height of 1.2 meters and has a lifespan of about 25 years.

stag destag worms, 588,100. Nowadays, insects have also become people's pets, this insect called stag beetle, commonly known as the big stag beetle or clip, the stag beetle is a very strange species, which makes it more expensive, selling for 89,000 US dollars, about 588,100 yuan.

Prairie cats, 132,000. One of the most valuable breeds of cats, the "prairie cat" is a small cat found on the grasslands of central and western South America. Their price is much higher than the $20,000 level, and the selling price is more than 130,000 yuan for the soft girl coin. Domesticated mixed breed cats are derived from the cross between the common cat and the African serval.

Palm cockatoos, 105,700. The palm cockatoo has a black or smoky gray color all over its body, with a visible red dot on the top of his head. The average price of a palm cockatoo is $16,000, or about $105,700.

So look, how expensive can a thoroughbred be at a price? Those worth tens of millions of dollars are all individuals with noble bloodlines and high reputation, in fact, the price of ordinary individuals in the group of thoroughbred horses cannot be as exaggerated as tens of millions of dollars, and which of these pets is less than 100,000 yuan?

It can only be said that the world of the rich is incomprehensible to the poor.
