What is it to breeze a horse?

Question

I was just watching seabiscuit and they kept refering to breezing a horse. So what is that please? Define or discribe I'm just very curious.

Answer 1

First you gallop

Then a 2 minute clip

then you breeze =timed

then you work out ==timed



A breeze is to let him run out a bit really ""close to a 2 minute clip but Not a work ,,with some encouragement ..



Look at my avatar thats the end of a breeze,

you never really sit low , just let him stretch out more



It's like if you were a runner , you would Not sprint But stretch out and let the breeze hit your face



They are shorter and faster  then a 2 minute clip



And they do get clocked for it !  By the race track official clockers !!

Answer 2

"...A horse racing term often heard, breeze simply means: to run easily, under a hold, but with little encouragement. This is usually an easy morning workout for race horses. It can judge a horse's character at a moment in time, and his professional readiness"

Simply put, to work a horse at a moderate speed

Answer 3

Breezing is where the horse is run under a rider's hold but the rider gives them no encouragement and they just run..it's usually for testing the horse's character or readiness to race and train
