Take a vote on horses!?

Question

I am currently writing a paper on the differences, and similarities of throughbred races, and standard harness race horses. What would you say are some of the simalarities, and differences of the two? (Besides the track). How many people knew that there are similarities between the two? Most people I ask, they didnt know that there are simalarities. If you knew, please let me know. Thank You

Answer 1

i dont know to much on h**e races, but i do know that the lighter the rider is the better the horse runs. also try typing similarities between the two types in google, or yahoo search engine

Answer 2

Gess you Guys

Ok harness racing is done with a breed Called STANDARD BREDS  

AND they are very different Then T.B."S

they have a pace or a gait that race horse's do Not have

If they break in to a gallop or run they are disqualified



Now T.b MEANING thoroughbreds) run ,,,Not pace or trot  in races

Drivers are some times very heavy

Race Flat riders Jockeys have a limit on their weight



So they are 2 very different Breeds of Horses and completely different training . Trotters or pacers have a way of breaking  down with Bow tendons More then Flat  racer's =T,B,s \

Now they all might have problems ,,But Harness racing is VERY HARD ON A HORSE'S EVEN WORSE THEN T.B.S Running as 3 yr olds or 2yr olds

I hope this helped I have more information if you want

But it seems like these guys don't know the difference

They don't have similarities at all Except for the fact That they are horse's

Most harness horses make GREAT RIDING horses with a great temperament and are very easy to train

If you find one for sale like x harness horses and if it not broke down you have a great and smooth riding horse

Most of the Amish use these horses,, They are not popular any more in the west

But some has bred them to other's and made NEW NAMES FOR THEM Like the Rocky Mtn Horse !!

Just a another fad ,,
