4 Things You MUST Re-Train with Your Retired Racehorse OTTB

11 minutes

It is easy to forget that, before coming to you, your OTTB has had many different expectations placed on him or her. A lot of their current behavior is a result of this early and consistent conditioning they received while in training on the track.

One of the greatest responsibilities we have when working with a retired racehorse is to help them understand that what’s now expected of them has changed.

I believe that there are 4 basic principles that you must work with your retired racehorse on, in order to set a foundation for everything else that follows.

Being intentional about covering these 4 topics with your horse, regardless of how long they have left the track, will allow you to set your horse up for a wonderful 2nd or 3rd career.
