Horse Racing Betting, a Beginners Guide (Part 1)
So you want to bet on the horses but you haven't got a clue where to start. You look at the form but at this stage the numbers don't mean a thing. Well listen up as what I'm about to tell could result in a few winners today.
First things first, ignore the jockeys silk (There nice colours, So What!) and don't try and pick a cool sounding name.
Right now I've got that off my chest let me tell you a few things you need to take into account;
Look at the jockey who is riding the horse and look at the trainer of the horse. There will also be a section that say's ?top jockeys' and ?top trainers'. Make sure you pick a good trainer and then second to that a good jockey.
The next factor to take into consideration is those little form numbers at the side of the horses name, what your looking for are 1,2 and 3's these mean first, second and third in a race and if it has a few on these it's last five races it's in form and should stand a good chance to run well.
So now we should have a horse with a good trainer and a decent jockey that is showing some past form.
The selection should have a good run and hopefully with a bit of look it will finish well.
There is plenty more factors to take into account when selecting winning horses and you can use horse racing systems to help you select winners. In part two I'm going to show you a few little letters you should look out for when selecting for horses

This is a common scenario for novice horse owners. Here are the top three tricks to solve the barn sour problem.
Teach your horse that you have control over him.
Once your horse gets it in his mind that you can make him do what you want him to do, you have control over him and can thus make him leave the barn.
One way to get control over him is to use a training technique called doubling.
When you double your horse you teach him you can control him.
It doesn't take long before your horse will know you can control him.
Be careful when doubling though.
If you do it too...

Horse Training 101
Each horse is different in how it learns and how it reacts to outside stimuli. Certain methods of horse training may apply to some horses, but it does not mean that it will be effective to all breeds of horse.To start horse training you must develop a communication system with the horse. This might take time. In the same way as children may not fully grasp the idea of things at an instant, baby horses in training may not get every pressure, pat or way of holding the reins at once. When you apply a certain pressure, you expect a certain response.
During horse training, you must make the horse understand that a certain pressure should elicit a corresponding response. We don't expect full compliance in the beginning, but as time goes by, these actions will be part of the horse's vocabulary.Throughout the course of the horse training, one by one these actions will be added to his vocabulary.

In the animal kingdom there is a pecking order. Richard Shrake points out that it's a lot like the military. He ranks in the pecking order go from General down to Private. The General will get first pick of the food, decide where to go and when, and so on.
The "second in command" will act just like the General but he won't pick on the General because the General dominates him.
This string of command continues all the way down to the bottom of the pecking order. Any time a new animal comes into the group then the pecking order shifts. Knowing this information, you can use it to your advantage. You can make yourself the leader in the horse's eyes. He'll look to you for instruction.
He'll obey you.
If you have a dominant horse it will be instinct for him to let a more dominant being make the decisions. In this case the dominant being will be you. You will become leader by using your body language to show you are confident. Being dominant doesn't mean you...

These horses were properly bred to demonstrate many traits which were attractive, such as strength, beauty, and endurance. Many experts on horses have concluded that Arabian horses are among the oldest breeds in the world.
The Bedouins were a nomadic people who are given credit for first taming the Arabian horse. The Bedouins made every effort to protect the purity of these horses, and many could trace back the lineage of the horses they owned. During this time, it was critical to have a horse which was strong, fast, and courageous.
It also had to be capable of surviving in the desert environment. The Bedouin tribes were constantly at war with other tribes in the region, and it was necessary to have a horse which could lead them into battle.
