Stalls training for Harvesting and What What What



Stalls training for Harvesting and What What What

11.22 | Fri 21 Jun 24 | Racehorses


An important part of any flat horse's education is to learn the starting stalls.

On Friday we began stalls training for two-year-olds What What What and Harvesting.

First of all the horses are walked around the stalls to familiarise them with the surrounds.

They then walk through the stalls to show them that it's a safe environment and there's nothing to fear.

Once the horses are comfortable they will stand in the stalls where they'll next be introduced to blindfolds.

we wait until they are calm and quiet and when the stopwatch has counted down we open the gates and the horses can jump away.

This is just stage one, next time they'll go in with an older horse who has raced before and will know how to jump quickly. The young horse will essentially be taught by the experienced horse how to get away from the starting gate quickly.
