Rearing is not the same as flipping. You would not kick a horse in the belly to bring them down when they go up. Basic horsemanship teaches you how to control a horse's feet. By learning their...

Loading into a trailer does NOT compare at all. If you had ever spent any time working a gate or even just watching some schooling you would know this. The very beginning stages of breaking a horse...

Did you work long enough to even hold the shank on a 2yr old? Or did you never get past stall mucking. Your response speaks to how little you know about racehorses.

If they do not know TB's then they will be "back gate shutters" for a long time. Most join the gate crew from the backside not a want ad.

I am amazed that you think they would pluck people off...

It takes a lot of skill,physical ability and guts to work in the gate. I owe my life to many a man on a gate crew. Those guys get beat up all the time and are always nursing an injury or two or...

Great story, but I am surprised the dealer was rooting against you. Did he work for straight pay instead of tokes?

The rest of your post was spot on.

A rider should focus their eyes 5-10 lengths down the track to where they want to be after the initial thrust out of the gate. They should let the break be on...

I already touched on using strength early to restrain a horse. No jockey has the muscle of most exercise riders,male or female. The muscle mass would weigh too much. All jockeys that have to gallop...

This could go either way. A rank horse that the trainer is still trying different bits on. Or a rider who expects a horse to take the bit and gets frustrated to easily when they don't comply.
