Question hi my names Haley and i have a few questions to ask you about the horse racing business. first of i have the horses and barn and roundpin. all i need to now is if its the right horse and how to train him. he is not a thourobred. He is a paint. and even though they say they aren't the brightest I've seen alout of speed come from him and wanted to see how he took to the track. please e-mail me back and thank you so very much
Answer hi Haley -- you will have to gallop him or rope him abut 2 1/2 miles a day in order to get him fit to race. he will have to have some gate works and get a starting gate card in order to start in a race. i always train a horse for 3 months before their first race. i have trained many a horse in a 60 ft round pen full of sand and have had many winners .hope this helps you ED HESS
