SARGA.CO – Behind the speed and agility of a racehorse on the track lies a long and meticulous process that most people don’t see.
From diet to training routines, everything is strictly prepared. So, what does it take to get a racehorse ready before race day?
Racehorses aren’t ordinary horses, and their meals aren’t either. Here’s their “athlete menu”:
Racehorse training follows a structured and gradual program, just like human athletes. Training may include:
These sessions typically take place in the morning, before the heat sets in, under the close supervision of trainers and grooms.
After training or racing, horses don’t just rest. They also undergo care routines such as muscle massages and stretching, cooling down through light walking, hoof and joint checks, and monitoring of temperature and heart rate.
Some professional stables even provide equine pools or spa treatments to relieve muscle tension.
Racehorse preparation is far more complex than it seems. From diet to training to post-session care, every step is done with rigorous discipline to ensure peak performance on race day.
Next time you see a horse blazing down the track, remember: behind that speed is a dedicated team of trainers, grooms, and veterinarians working tirelessly every single day.
