Answer 2

I have been around horse racing all my life and I can tell you that the physical demands are very high and that you use muscles that you didn't know you had.  The best way to get started is to go to a horse farm and see if they can help you get started, because they know the horses and will start you out on a even tempered horse and a lot less traffic on the track.  As soon as you get the handling of the horse

down then you can move to the track and stronger horses.  If you have any other questions please email me back.

Answer 3

1.) At least a expert level in riding.

2.) Being able to react calmly to a spook or flight.

3.) Not heavy.

Really you have to be good with flighty horses because they are all pretty young.
