Why Perfect The Art Of Horse Riding Without Stirrups

August 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

You can’t deny the importance of stirrups to a rider. Stirrups are an essential item on the pony tack list. Riders use stirrups for mounting, dismounting, balance, pony control and occasionally for protecting themselves from a potential fall.

So why in the name of all that is horse heaven do instructors demand that their students learn to ride without stirrups? If you’ve ever been baffled by this question, I’ve got some clarifications for you.

Before I answer the problem of why instructors ask students to ride sans stirrups, I have got a bit of information for you. When riding without your stirrups, lay them across the horse’s neck or the shoulders, but don’t lay them across your saddle. It will take you simply one experience with severely bruised things to learn this lesson yourself the tough way, but I am protecting you from that experience. Laying the stirrups across the horse’s shoulders and neck will cause him no discomfort. The stirrups will bounce in complete harmony with the horse’s movements. Try to get the buckle away from the stirrup bar, and place this across the horse’s neck. You can avoid pinching and bruising your upper legs by doing this and shoving the stirrup leather flat underneath the saddle’s skirt.

Riding without stirrups is designed to help you analyse and enhance your sense of balance and stability. When you’re riding without the security of the stirrups, you are presenting your instructor with a naked view of your capabilities, or absence of them. When you’re without stirrups, you’ve got to sort of feel out the position astride your pony that works best for you , and that may involve a large amount of wriggling and shifting. While the natural bias is to rock forward so that you can absorb the impact of the horse’s movements better thru the upper part of your body (and also because the horse’s neck can be grabbed if required) this will make the horse tense. You must relax and sit back. You have to learn how to absorb the impact of movement thru your lower body areas: the lower back, hips and pelvis. The higher part of your body should be upright and still, moving just enough to flow with the horse’s movements. You need to attempt to sit as loosely as practical in just such a way that your weight presses down on the horse’s centre of gravity.

Riding without stirrups helps nervous riders gain some confidence. Although it can be a rather terrifying experience at the outset, riding a gentle pony without stirrups will improve your sense of balance and give you better control of application of aids. If you are especially uncomfortable at the beginning, you should not feel humbled to suggest that you start at a walk. Once you feel comfortable with that, you can slowly progress to a trot and then to a canter. No-stirrup work actually develops your sense of security, but you shouldn’t be averse to admitting your 1st fear. It’s better to begin slow and build up. Excess fear can communicate itself to the horse.

The rider with more experience benefits from no-stirrup work in that she or he is able to develop a sense of feel and reduce riding stress. Stress can build up without the rider even being mindful of it: it can begin at the ankles, at the neck or at the back and shoulders. You become a better rider when you’re really aware of your body and the signals it is transmitting.

The inception of stirrups is military, they were designed as part of horse tack to enable cavalry riders to stay stable during battle. Clearly, in the days before stirrups were invented every rider rode without them, many riders rode with no pony tack of any type whatsoever. Accesorios fluo . Since horseback fighting is kind of a part of history now, it can be contended that we do not need stirrups anymore. But like all devices that ease life, once we have got it, we don’t wish to give it up. If you really intend to become a top class rider, though, you must perfect the art of riding without stirrups.

Three Winning Horse Racing Handicapping Tips

August 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment

‘Tis the season to get jolly and offer a few tips to people who handicap horse races and try to make some money for the holidays.  If you are one of those people trying to make money betting on horses you know just how hard it is.  If you are using a system, and still losing, you’re not alone.  Many people use a system and still lose, but trust me, they lose less than people who use no system at all.

Here are a few horse racing tips that may help you to tighten up that system and start to receive rather than give at the betting windows.

1. First and foremost of all, keep track of your bets, money, and progress at the races.  IF you really are serious about making a profit, then this is a job or business.  Would you run a business without keeping track of the cash?  Of course not, but yet many people who are normally quite responsible turn into giddy sailors on a spending spree when they get to the track.  Why do they do that?  Because some people who are feeling repressed think that the race track is a good place to just let go and have a good time.

If you are at the races strictly for fun and have budgeted some “mad” money to bet with, there is nothing wrong with gambling with that money.  On the other hand, if you are really trying to make money, then the opposite is true.  You should be keeping records so you know what works and where the money goes.

2. KISS – or keep it simple stupid.  Don’t think that the road to riches is exotic bets.  While the payoffs may be very enticing, if you can’t even win with a simple win bet, how will you ever win with an exotic bet with multiple legs or runners?  They are called gimmick bets by people who take the game of horse racing seriously.  Stick with simple bets and master them first.

3. You better shop around.  The difference between success and failure at the races may be as little as a few percentage points one way or the other.  Let’s imagine that two people are standing in front of you and you have to buy your wagering ticket from one or the other.  You have $100 to bet.  Person A tells you that she will charge you $10 for the bet so you will actually only have $90 left to bet with.

Person B tells you that she will charge you $15 to bet so you will only have $85 to bet with.  Which person would you place your bet with?  Obviously, it would be person A.  You will win more money with a $90 bet than with an $85 bet.  You do make that decision every day when you decide which tracks to play.  Some tracks, depending on the state where they are located, charge different percentages.  Shopping around can make a big difference.  Find out what the takeout is at the different tracks and take your business to the best one.

Just following these three simple guidelines will help you to lose less and win more.  If you’re using a good system, but still not quite making it, these tips may put you over the top and you may just realize your dream of making money at the races.

Types of Horse Racing

August 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Throughout the world, horse racing is one of the most well loved and enjoyed sporting events. Horse racing has evolved over the years to include many exciting and different forms of the event. The following is a list of some of the various forms of horse racing:

Harness Horse Racing: This type consists of a horse fastened to a two-wheeled cart. A jockey is in the cart and controls the horse. Two types of this form are ‘Pacing’ and ‘Trotting.’ They differ according to the horse’s gait, or how the horse runs. With ‘trotting,’ the horse’s right front leg and left hind leg land on the track at the same time while they are running. In ‘Pacing,’ there are shorter pauses during a race and the horse travels at a much faster rate. As a horse begins to gallop, the jockey must slow it down in order to regain its pace. A popular sport in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, harness horse racing not only relies on quickness, but also tactics. The Standardbred horse is known for its excellent harness racing abilities. These horses are well-built, muscular, and have a calm disposition.

Thoroughbred Horse Racing: Thoroughbred is governed by different national horse racing organizations and involves the racing of thoroughbred horses. A popular sport with gamblers, there are two forms of this equestrian sport: ‘Flat Racing’ and ‘Jump Racing.’ Flat racing can be run at different distances. Horses competing in this form are very fast. Jump racing can be divided into ‘hurdling’ and ‘steeple chasing.’ The distances of the dashes can vary from 3/4 mile to more than two. Steeple chasing is a horse race that involves a variety of fence and ditch obstacles. In hurdling horses run over obstacles referred to as hurdles. The hurdles are usually over three and a half feet high in height.

Because speed is a major component, it involves high-quality horses and prestigious prizes. Horses competing in these events are usually the same age and gender.

Quarter-Horse Racing: This form received its name quarter-horse because the race originally ran a quarter of a mile. Horses run at a very fast pace for a short distance. It is one of the more recent equestrian events as its governing organization was not formed until the 1940s.

Stakes Horse Races: This type of race involves is governed by the Graded Stakes Committee. The term “stake” comes from the race entry fees. The fees make up the total amount of the prizes awarded. Prizes are given to the top three and sometimes four winners. There are three grades that include Grade 1, 2, and 3. Medium size and large tracks will have at least one grade 3 race. These events have the highest purse prizes. The Breeders’ Cup Classic prize is $5 million.

There are a number famous horse tracks in the US that include Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, Kentucky, Churchill Downs in Louisville, Belmont Park in Elmont, New York, Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Saratoga Springs in New York, and the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersy.

As one of the oldest racing sports, this fever has spread throughout the world. It is a thrilling event for horse racing fans of all ages.

Horse Racing Systems – Devising Your Own System

July 31, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Horse Racing Systems can cost you anything from a few pence up to £100 or more. Some systems are presented in thick manuals full of charts, graphs and past results whilst others are just consist of a couple of typed pages. From experience I have found that the success of any system has little bearing on its actual cost.

The main problem for a potential system purchaser is that you have very little idea what you are actually buying until you have paid for your system and had a chance to assess it. Even then you will not know how good any system is until your have actually tested it over a period of time. One of the best systems that I have ever used can be summed up in about 4 lines of text whilst another that I use regularly is over 200 pages in length.

An alternative to buying a system is to devise your own. This is far easier than you might think. In recent years the Betfair Betting Exchange has become very popular and on there it is possible to either back a horse to win or lay one to lose. So the first decision to make is whether your system is going to be designed to pick winners or losers.

For the purposes of this article I will show you how to build a simple system to find losers. Without going into to much detail the basic principle of laying horses on the betting exchange is that you are really taking the role of the bookmaker. This means that if the horse loses you win the stake but if it should win you will have to pay out the odd that you made when laying the bet. This means that if you lay outsiders they are less likely to win but when they do you can face a big payout. Therefore to keep the liability to a reasonable level we will only lay low priced favourites.

Rule One: Only select favourites priced at less that 3/1

It is a statistical fact that only about a third of favourites actually win their races. However, if you laid the favourite in every race you would finish up out of pocket, therefore we need to add some further filters. In some races all the horse carry more or less the same weight whilst in other the horses are assessed by a handicapper on their past performances and weighted accordingly. If the handicap worked perfectly all the horses should finish the race in a line across the course. Of course this never happens but it is a fact that favourites have a poorer record in handicaps than in other types of race.

Rule Two. Handicap races only.

Surprisingly favourites enjoy a greater success in National Hunt Racing than on the flat. I say surprisingly because you might think that with the addition of jumps this would make it more difficult but that is not the case. National Hunt races tend to be much longer than most flat races and horse have more time to sort themselves out. In a flat sprint race if a horse misses the break at the off all chances may be gone. Therefore:

Rule Three. Flat races only

Another fact is that in flat races the favourites seem to perform better when the going is described as “Good”. There are some horses that run better on the “Soft” or “Firm” going but as a general rule most prefer good going. If you go to the Racing Post web site you can look up a horses past performances.

Rule Four. The selection should not have won or come second in a race on the same going as that posted for this race.

So there is the beginning of a simple system. As it stands I am not sure that you would make very much money from it but it is ready for testing. You should never place cash on any systems selections until you have paper tested it for at least one or ideally two months. You can also use this period to assess your results and possibly add further filters or rules to improve the system.

Building a successful horse racing system can not only be fun but very profitable as apart from making money from your bets you can always sell the system to others.

Finally no matter how good any horse racing system is or is claimed to be none can be guaranteed win all the time and you should never wager more than you can afford to lose.

How Important Are Speed Figures in Horse Racing Handicapping

July 29, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The golden age of speed handicapping died many years ago.  Those were the days when a single factor, speed, could be used to find overlays that produced profits merely based on the difference in relative speed between horses.

How relevant is speed, then, and how much importance should be placed on speed figures?  I look at it two ways.  Speed figures can work for you or against the crowd, your competition when you’re handicapping horse races for profit.  The trick, of course, is to know when to go with the speedy horse and when to go against it.

If you think of the handicapping battle as a fight between you and that behemoth, the crowd, you will see that some fancy footwork and tactics are necessary.  You must zig and zag at the right time.  The way you do this is by reading the crowd and understanding what they are thinking.

For instance, if you see that a horse has a speed figure in its last race that is far superior to any other runner in the race and that horse is a favorite at very low odds, then you have an obvious situation of speed mania.  That figure stands out on the page and the crowd becomes blinded to any short comings of this runner or possible hidden  attributes of another.

This is an excellent example of a time to dig and look for a reason to bet another horse, but don’t make things up in your mind.  It has to be a rational, hard copy angle.  Let’s say that another runner that has won at the track and distance in the past is coming back after a layoff and has had two races since its rest.  Those two races were on muddy tracks and today’s race is on a fast track.

While the horse with the big speed advantage is tough to pass over, the odds are the key to a possible profit situation.  There is the possibility of the layoff horse turning in a big effort.  It was compromised in its last two races by a track that was off and it has had two races to tighten it up.  If the odds are high enough on this one and just too low on the favorite, then this horse becomes the best bet, even though it may lose more often than it wins in this situation, the large payoffs will offset that and result in a profit over time.

This is a time when speed figures work against a crowd that is dazzled by that one number and who ignore other possibilities.

Now let’s reverse that situation.  Let’s suppose that there is a horse with a superior speed figure in a race with horses who each have a serious knock against them such as, horses who have had a long layoff and no tighteners, horses who have never won at the level or distance, etc.  The speed horse is a favorite and if the odds are not too low, it is understandable to bet that one, even though it is the favorite.

In each situation you are still using the speed figure as one factor in an approach that recognizes all the other factors of horse racing handicapping.

The Basics of Horse Racing Betting

July 25, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Since the maximum horse racing wager value is tied to major racing events, this article will focus primarily on how to place bets on popular competitions such as the Breeder’s Cup and Triple Crown races. If you are a serious online horse racing bettor looking for advantageous and profitable horse betting opportunities, then consider sticking with the bigger and more eventful horse races. In the same way that you can find good wager value in highly acclaimed competitions like the Super Bowl, World Series, etc., with important horse racing events you get to improve your horse betting winnings.

In case your primary aim isn’t to make a bundle on the outcome of horse racing, but to experience the thrill of betting and have a great time, then you may probably want to make mostly smaller bets. Moreover, since the aftermath of online horse racing events is difficult to predict, unless you are a pro, there would be no good reason to place sizeable wagers in such cases.

In fact, most important horse racing events are hard to handicap properly, due to the impeccable physical condition and great competitiveness of all horses that enter the competition. Betting on the big horse races takes a lot of experience and a well-trained eye to spot suitable wager options. Should you be wagering an average-level, local track, then there would be less of a balance between contending horses and good choices would be easier to spot. This, however, doesn’t hold true with prominent horse racing events such as Triple Crown races, where each single horse has an impressive pedigree and is bred to be a winner.

As some of you may already know, horse racing betting involves three basic types of wagers: win, place, and show. Betting to win means that you only collect if your selected horse claims first place in the race, while fructifying a wager made on a horse to place is slightly safer, as it requires the horse you pick to finish either first or second. Opting for a show wager is the safest and most forgiving horse betting variant of the three, as you collect even if your pick places third.

Obviously, aiming for the bigger prizes involves taking higher risks, which means the payout will be more substantial on a horse to win or place compared to the third option in the bunch. However, in some rare cases, you may come across show payoffs that are more profitable than the place option, but this is generally dependent by the presence of a strong favorite in the competition.

Although numerous horse racing authors favor and preach the betting to win approach with both offline and online horse racing bookies, the truth is there is no “only way” to successful horse betting. Yes, betting to win welcomes bettors with the most profitable betting options, but also requires a higher level of experience with horse betting. On the other hand, betting to place and show are great options for starting your horse racing endeavors, as they are safer and less challenging. To sum it all up, if you are playing mostly for entertainment purposes or are a newcomer to the world of horse racing betting, consider opting for the latter two said wager opportunities and leave the more difficult options for later.

How To Saddle Break Your Horse The 1st Time

July 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I wouldn’t venture to suggest that there is the standard formula to preparing a pony for riding. Each pony is an individual in its own right, and you have to work with each horse according to its nature. You also need to take into account regular changes in the current circumstances. Often, circumstances can change every day for a young horse.

Here are some steps that will help you ease your pony into its first ride. While these are steps that have worked habitually for me, I should remind you that every pony has his or her own quirks, and so you could need to do some modifying here and there.

Step 1: Let your pony get acquainted with a saddle pad. Be certain to do this in a circular pen after you’ve your pony on a halter and a lead rope. Introduce the pad casually to your horse. Let him nudge and smell it. The idea is to get him acquainted with it. Rub him gently all over his body with the pad, especially on the neck, the back and the hindquarters. Be sure to cover both sides of the horse with the same motions. Don’t go to the very next step till you have the distinct impression your pony is happy with the pad. Lay the pad on his back delicately without any abrupt motions and retreat. After a bit take away the pad. Lay it on your horse again. Take it off, keep repeating. When you are reasonably sure your horse is relatively used to the pad, walk him around a bit with the pad on. Take the pad off and rub him down a bit, before putting the pad back on. Be exceedingly patient, and repeat this as many times as necessary till you feel your horse has become just about uninterested in the pad. Remember, haste at all stages may destroy everything you have realized till then.

Step 2: You are ready to bring on the saddle now. Get your horse used to it just like you did with the pad: never hurrying, always persist. Use your right hand to hold the saddle, with the lead rope in the left hand. Once you are sure the saddle causes no further apprehension in your pony, it’s saddling time. With a swift but gentle motion, get the saddle onto your horse’s back. Take it off and retreat. Do this numerous times, with a rub down or two to keep your pony calm. When you think it is time, put on the saddle with the intention of cinching it. If your pony is in motion, yield the hindquarters to bring him to stillness. Be sure to knot the cinches tight so they don’t drop and spook him.

Step 3: Get round to your horse’s right. Let the cinches down easily. Get back to your horse’s left, Now with total confidence walk back on the left hand side of your horse and take hold of the cinch with your left hand without looking down. In easy motions, take hold of the latigo and tighten up the cinches. Don’t make them too tight, but sufficient so the saddle will not roll around to the base of the horse’s body. That would possibly be disastrous. If there’s another back cinch, tighten that too, again, not very tight, but satisfactory to guarantee the pony won’t snag his rear leg. Normally a back cinch functions to prevent jumping of the saddle. Never forget: keep your cool, and more important, make sure the horse keeps his cool. Back off temporarily at the slightest sign your horse is getting upset.

Step 4: When you’ve saddled and cinched the horse, stand loosely next to him and let him get use to the saddle. Don’t be in a hurry to move him or yourself. When you consider that he’s relaxed satisfactorily, walk him a touch, then come to a halt. If he starts bucking let him, just get out of the way. When he’s got the kinks worked out, return to him and give him a rub to soothe him.

You have just saddle-broken your pony.

Cheltenham Betting: Best Horse Racing System

July 20, 2012 By 1 Comment

Cheltenham betting was first established in the year 1902 with just a skeleton lineup of races over the course of three days, and as years passed by, there are already number of showpiece races that have been occasionally added to the festival, but this Cheltenham betting festival was first categorize nearly one hundred years ago back to the time when races were still held on Nottingham Hill near Cheltenham.

The original racing track in Nottingham hill was cracked by vigilantes then led by a local priest known as Reverend Francis Close who believed that horse racing was one of the supreme evils of all time, and for the reason of its well established name in the betting business came the Cheltenham festival which generally took place at the start of every National Hunt season in which all the roads would always lead first to one immense week in the middle of March, which happens to be the grand Cheltenham festival.

The Cheltenham festival has a sum of twenty seven races. Each of these races is what sports betting enthusiasts are looking onward to. This is where the majority of the bets are focused on. The race includes Champion hurdle which will take place at the opening day of the festival, Queen Mother Champion Chase which is one of the most awaited race because of the enthusiasm of who will be the one to assert the glory, Arkle Trophy Challenge which is one of the major features of the race which is supposed to bring the top newbie chasers, and the World Hurdle which has the most pot money.

The Cheltenham Festival consist a number of immense races on the horse racing chart including the Champion Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup. It’s traditional in the United Kingdom for clients to bet on the large horse races over the year and hence betting on the Cheltenham races is enormously popular in March.
