Horse Training Facts And Maxims All Horse Owners Should Know !
To the uninitiated horse owner, there are timely facts about horses they should know. In fact, when someone first gets a horse these timely facts should be studied and learned. These timely facts come from the Jesse Beery horse training manual. Jesse Beery was a famous horse trainer from the 1800's. Interestingly, Beery's training methods are as powerful today as they were when Beery was alive.
Timely Fact #1:Make your horse your friend, not your slave.Timely Fact #2:Almost every wrong act of the horse is caused by fear, excitement or mismanagement. One harsh word will increase the pulse of a nervous horse ten beats a minute. Hoses know nothing about balking until forced into it by bad management. Any balky horse an be started steady and true in a few minutes. I never found one that I could not teach to start his load in fifteen minutes and usually in three.
Timely Fact #3:Intelligent horsemen have learned that kickers, biters and balkers are natural results of abuse, that not one horse in a hundred is vicious until made so by cruelty; that whipping a horse is as mean and senseless as whipping a baby, and that the most useful, obedient and long lived horses are those treated from birth with kindness and common sense. Timely Fact #4:The whip is the parent of stubborness, but gentleness wins obedience. There is no such thing as balkiness in a horse that is kindly treated, and that gets an occasional apple, potato or sugar from his master's hand. Timely Fact #5:When a hose is afraid or excited, quiet him by kind words and caress. An excited horse is practically crazy and to whip him is dangerous, foolish and cruel.
I have known a single blow of the whip to balk a spirited horse. Whipping a balky horse is barbarous and only increases balkiness..
Horse Racing Betting, The Risk Free Way
Horse Racing Betting, The Risk Free Way
You may or may not of heard of all this talk about been a change to horse racing betting where you can bet on horse races risk free.
Yes that's right, Risk Free!
Now this isn't some bogus system that gives you one horse that is guaranteed to win, it isn't even like normal gambling. It's more like trading as you are betting on more than one horse in a race even all of them.
I hear you saying how can I make money betting on every horse in the race?
Because of the competition between bookmakers and now the rise of Betfair there prices are all over the place. One horse can be 4/1 with one bookmaker and 7/1 with another.
Every bookmaker is trying to get customers by giving away free bets, the best prices etc. They do this by making a couple of horses in a race better priced and then advertising it. If every bookie does this you can make a profit very easy.

There are a lot of misconceptions when it comes to betting on the horses. Some people believe that it's impossible to profit in horse racing. Some believe that all you need to do is bet the favorites. Still, others believe that the only way to make money is to bet the huge long shots and pray for a miracle. All of these thoughts are false.
You can make money betting on horses, and you don't need to pick favorites all the time or bet on miracle finishes often.
Here is a juicy piece of information for you. The favorite wins the race (thoroughbred racing) about 33% of the time. Therefore, if you simply bet the favorite, you will be losing 67% of the time. Since favorites don't always pay too well, you would end up losing over the long run.
Still, money can be made betting on favorites. Each race is different. In some races, the favorite might be an even money favorite. In others, the favorite might be a 3-1 favorite.
How you bet is just as important...

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.
