- A little bit about racehorse tack and equipment.. The audio isn't very good and I tried to make this as concise as possible so it wasn't too long.

"We can adjust our stirrups at the trot" I can barely adjust mine when I'm off my horse and it takes me a good 10 minutes.... lol i wish I could do that.
Libbey S my horse can not stand still 😂 I've learn to adjust my stirrups at a walk, almost a trot.
Same. I struggle to do it when I'm standing still on the ground and the saddle is on a rack. lol
Same i try and do it on the ground and still get it wrong 😂 can just about do it when walking
Same
Could you do the weekly schedule of a racehorse? Like with feeding, exercise, turnout, etc. I think that'd be really interesting!
Yes that would be very interesting @Shelby Dennis
The dramatic music in the background 😂
This is honestly so interesting. I really would love to try to ride a racehorse someday!
KLM Equine go for it it's an amazing feel I love it x
KLM Equine Me too!
CUPCAKE lover57 NOT ALL IF THEM ARE!!!!
its abuse
Tessa Kraus Oh...my...lord🤦🏼♀️
The horses at your barn are really polite and chill
Allison Rieber I mean I wouldn’t exactly call them chill when I got thrown today by one of the ones in the videos 😂 they are still baby racehorses
Shelby Dennis haha as far as race horses go they seem pretty good, but of course not dosile lol. I hope you weren't hurt at all today. I love watching them run
Wow, Shelby - I can´t believe it: You got thrown by a race horse? Whenever I watched you riding in jockey style I felt that you were perfectly balanced, fit and strong enough to always stay on even compensating a buck or spook. How did it happen?
Heinz Stoffregen We were trotting and he wheeled so hard that there were holes in the track and then leaped again before I could right myself 😂 was not expecting it at all
My dad had 42 race horses (thoroughbreds) he did this too! he really enjoyed it but his dad retired and the horses went to barns and they had successful eventing careers. my dad has always had a thing for thoroughbreds so that’s why i have a ottb. but i love how you enjoy this! it’s very cool to see someone young like you enjoy this! my dad said it can be difficult too! yes i showed him you and milo before and this video! love ya shelby 💜🐴🏇🏿
You make me want to get a horse racing job!
Very interesting. Kind of nice to get an idea of how my horse started out. Obviously it wouldn’t have been exactly the same but it’s cool to see (:
Thankyou so much for posting! I myself have also been interested in the racing industry and you can just watch without placing a bet, as I love the beauty of just watching them! Its good to see a video like this as many people are to quick to judge racing. You will always get a few bad apples in all industries. Where I live rehoming racehorses is a big thing and some even go into other sports which im really happy about. Thanks again, this has really lifted my spirits! 😘
This is the first video that I've noticed your accent in. I'm American but I live up north so I never really notice Canadian accents since they sound so similar to the way we talk where I live. I went to Canada when I was really young but don't remember any of the trip, I'd like to go back someday.
Kirsten Sanford it’s the accent I’m used to hearing and speaking in. I’m actually kinda glad that you didn’t make fun of our accents like the Americans down south do.
Love this! Hope Archie is getting better xx
My trainer had a job exercising TBs in Delaware for a while when she was younger. Her stories and your videos make me want to try it sometime for the learning benefits!
Also love the way you make it OK for using bits, u r an inspiration and love u!
The stirrup thing is really smart. I don’t get Why I haven’t thought about that 😂
This video is so informative. Your racing barn seems so nice and you're so lucky!!
Thanks for the rundown on all the tack!
I ride out racehorses and this is a really good video and very well explained
It's cool seeing how a bunch of the ottbs at my barn started out!!
I work with racehorses and this is so interesting. You’re a good rider😊
Cool video.... I ride work in Australia and we do things quite differently on our racehorses... we mostly use a breastplate and surcingle and our track pads look different too they are more forward cut than yours... I also rode racehorses in the uk and that was different again! But similar in that they adjusted their irons and girth once up in the saddle and they also started with bridle first and tacked up in the box... i love seeing how things are done all over the world....
So nice and interesting. Nice to see someone actually teach and show everything thing about it then just totally ignore everyone about the racing industry because "it's so abusive." So nice to see a video like this! Amazing job on it! You will go far! Love you Shelby! ❤️😍🐎
Everything*
loved this sooo much
curious, are they stalled all day?
No, they go out in paddocks
Super interesting to watch!
That was great information!!!!! I love your videos!!!!!
This was so interesting!
This was very interesting!
Thank you so much for this. I actually really learnt alot
Awesome video thank you!
This is really interesting.
Very educational thanks for sharing this video!
This was very interesting, loved this :D
At my yard everyone has their own saddle that they buy themselves which are usually personalised. If you are new they have saddles there that you can use. Which trainer do you ride for?
You should make more videos like this!!
I am impressed with this video! 😉
You can do your girth up whilst trotting?!! I struggle when my horse is standing still 🙈
This was great to watch, I just adopted an ex racehorse and it’s good to know a little about what he’d have done when in work. Also, how do you do it at the trot, I struggle to do it when I’m just sat on the horse. 😂
Where are you getting those jockey saddles from ?
Can you do a galloping routine or like what you do while galloping a horse
You should do a daily racing stable routine
I have that second saddle
Wow! SO many things to keep track of. Btw is the music from inception? Lol it sounds very similar :P
Where do you get your saddles?
If i want a job like you have what should i do is there any chance 🤔
I can do my girth and stirrups at a walk but at a trot.. Tell me your ways xD
Hi Shelby! Where did you learn to exercise RaceHorses professionally? And do yards seem to prefer those who've had more growing up experience with horses?
This is my absolute dream job to achieve here in Ireland, but, not having much experience with riding, not coming from a horse interested family, having to learn to take care of TB's myself, I can hardly ride, let alone riding Racehorses, is there any advice you can give to get into the industry?
Absolutely love your down to earth personality and videos, it's such a nice change from many other extremists who only really speak about the negatives of the horse world.
Yeah I live in Ireland and I loved racing when I was younger but there is bearly any places that you can achive racing at so I don't do racing anymore but I work at a international stables for Show Jumping
2:44 my leased horse uses that same bit :)
Hi I would be interested in whether the horses are allowed to go out into the pasture, because in Germany many say racehorses are not allowed out. Unfortunately, there are no videos in German that explain it as you do something like everything and everything. Thanks for the insight. And sorry for my bad English
Bunny Graphy
Yes they go out
Do you use defenders at all harness horses use them a lot as they hit a wall of sound going past the grandstand and because of the distance of most harness races they are nearly twice as long as gallops so they go past twice and spooking while pulling a sullied is more dangerous than on a galloping horse as the shafts don’t move withe horse
racing saddles look so uncomfortable! are they?
PemPemPony they aren’t made to be sat in like a normal saddle so it’s not really something you notice
Love this video. Does anyone know what the intro song is?
No roots
Oh wow
Do you leave halters abd polos on the horses?
no
Do you need to work out racing horse because my cousin should me how to but his horse is not a racing horse .
Heyyo I suggested this!
Just wondering but why do you leave the halter on?
Chummiergold 684 because they need to be tied for tacking anyways and it makes untacking safer and easier
Are the saddles treeless or do they just have a really light tree? I love this! It's super interesting to see how other disciplines do things ^^
myhorseroxursoxoff
They look treeless to me, to flat to have a tree honestly
Alexis Graystorm not to mention they’re around five pounds. That’s a good point ^.^
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the trackwork saddles mainly have trees (some don't though) and the racing saddles usually don't have trees. Could be the other way round but it just depends on the type of saddle :)
Leather
*le gasp* YOURE USING BITSSSS!!!! I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD DO THAT!!! ABUSSSSSEEEEEE
Thank you for watching my impression of an “animal activist”/ a person who thinks they know their stuff. Sarcasm is indeed a language they are very much fluent in. Peace ✌️
Lmao just like raleigh. Idk why she calls herself an animal activist she doesn't do anything but rant on the internet XD
bits can be abuse but everything can be if you don't use it right. Its so funny to hear people talk bad about bits but pulling hard on bitless tack. Bitless tack use pressure too. Not in the mouth but on the whole head.
everthing has a bad side but that don't mean thats its automatically abuse :'DD
@@borderlinewack and yees xD I watched a few videos .... a lot of things she say are totally true but some are bullshit or only exaggerated
Why did anyone like this stupid comment😕
@@horseworld6652 its sarcasm honey
Woah, do you guys handle stallions or some real studdy geldings? I just saw some chiffney's, just wondering. Love how informational you are!
The chiffneys are just for the yearling sale, they're shown in chiffneys. Horses aren't led in them at home
Denise Clementine all of the horses at my yard are lead in chiffneys haha.
I have a really really sweet stallion well 4 stallions and they are so calm
do you put your race horses out to pasture??
Abbi Roberts not while they’re racing because they all have back shoes but in the off season
Shelby Dennis oh ok 😊
Where are you ?
is it normal to ride with such long stirrups when exercising?
Niamh AndBentley When you’re not breezing and when you’re riding on a track with coyotes next to a busy road, yes. There’s no need for jockey length stirrups unless you want to get rocket launched when they spook
Usually you don't get launched - you just keep going straight when they side step that scary bush from under you. I would have proven the law of inertia many times had I not my thighs on the saddle like my life depends on it - literally.
I feel like I'd love to be an exercise rider but i know i wouldn't be the right rider cause my confidence is easily knocked on horses (although you can stick me on whatever pony you like, broken or not, and I'll be fine 😂) and I'm not strong enough lol
Shelby: "We never put blinkers on a horse for no reason.."
Aslo Shelby: "Milo galloping with blinkers on just for fun." 😂
Love it❤❤
Štěpa & Lucky they were put on because he was shying at the bushes.
My name is Shelby
hahah I loved this video but I'd thought I may as well put it out there.
DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET MY BLOODY OFF TRACKS TO SWITCH THEIR FLIGHT MUSCLES OF?.. hahahaha
Grace Bean lol
I was at horse camp and we were talking about how racing saddles are just there for sturrips so it's harder to fall and die. Is that true? Or is there another reason you ride in a saddle while racing?
Naomi Duskbrooke
The saddles are light to help the horses “move out” or “forward”...
When you ride a horse do you use your saddle just so you don’t fall and die? 🤷♀️
My friend wants to be a jockey, I said she should get experience exercising horses first, she’s a junior in high school so maybe she’ll go into jockey school or something.
So cool! I have a black two year old gelding that I am trying to train as a racehorse!
This is just a personal opinion but what do YOU think of the racing industry I think personally it’s not the jockeys fault but they people who thinks it’s all money, about I see nothing wrong with racing horses just as long as it’s done right way
Kaelin Mottley
I mean she obviously supports racing because she works in the industry
I think this level of hose racing is fine, like, letting the horses express what they CAN do, and treating them well, and letting them be horses, but so many people um, abuse like race horse race horses and really push them (not you though! : )
Prestige Pets
🤦♀️
“Racing is bad, but you do it right”... Why are almost all comments like that? Stop being hypocritical. If you knew anything about racing, you’d know Shelby represents *most* all connections in the industry. It has nothing to do with the level, the claimers are the ones not treated as well if any
@@meganproffitt424 Yea racing is all some type of abuse you are forcing a horse to fucking gallop for a long long period of time yanking there mouths and whipping
Yes I know what I'm saying cause sadly when I was young r i worked at a racing stables until one day when I found my trainer whipping a stallion with a giant stick cause he wouldn't gallop I quit and now I own my own stables and all my horses are on hackamors and they have a choice of stable or field 24/7 unless there is a storm
Horse World Jumping is to abuse as you force the horse to jump and land hard on their legs. So stfu.
Y the small stsll
they're average sized lol
I want to ride a race horse? I have a mini one - 11hh and she beat a 16hh race in a race across a field 😂😂
When I saw this, I wasn't sure why racing has such a bad rep.
Why a race horse trainer would strode a young horse instead of giving him a trot?
100th Like!
i saw pics of what those rings under the bit do and they almost cut a horses mouth off
there are so many bloody and graphic pics of their cause
michal guliamov That’s only if a horse gets it hooked on something which would be dangerous with any bit. They physically cannot just cut a tongue off hanging there on their own and no one would use them if that were the case
it cut the tongues from all of the pressure the riders were using
ill try to find the post and send it to your Instagram account
anyways- a pretty interesting video and im glade you answered
michal guliamov The pressure of the riders’ hands does not change the action of the ring portion of the bit.
well somehow on this pic the riders were yanking so hard and that thing went all the way on their tongues
i wish i could find this post
im still trying to find it
michal guliamov
Lmao
If you’re going to spread hate and uneducated statements at least have the “proof” on hand 🤷♀️
What you call a ring bit we would call a anti lugging bi
I am highly against bits, but other than that, it looks like you're barn takes very, very good care of their horses! Injured or not.
the "bibs" are training forks... the "blinkers" are blinders...
Paints Galore2006 blinkers and blinders are the exact same thing same with bibs and training forks. Just different words for the same thing, they are called synonyms so no need to correct anyone but just because you prefer a different word
@@Milestone-Equestrian its not that i perfer a different word there is a proper word for everything... and some word are more known... I was just stating it in more known words
Paints Galore2006 More known words vary on region. Evidently, considering I work in the racing industry, these are the common words for my area ;)
my sister had an OTTB named ciletti Wich was his racing name and he loved loved to run. we did have to get rid of him cause she got a concussion from him, I don't know if I spelled that right or not but u really handle your OTTB really really well😁
Equinelife 4evez what I don’t understand is why you got rid of him just because just because she got hurt..? That’s how certain horses get a bad rep
I just don’t like how young they race them it’s way too young your supposed to start braking the 3-4 and or ride them at 3 or 4
No you can break then at 2 or even one but I don't agree with it either
Someone should send this to thinklikeahorse 😂
Love.your.horse.101 Please don’t. This is my job and I will not continue to post videos like this if people make a mockery of it and send it to other people to try and stir stuff up. I love sharing things with you guys but am not comfortable with the idea of my job being discussed and reposted on someone else’s channel. This is a business and these horses are not mine. Please be respectful or ill remove the video.
Shelby Dennis I merely meant that he is so against racing, it would be interesting how he could fault this (except for use of bits,etc) as it is clear that you love the horses. It would've shown him another section of the racing industry, perhaps change his judgements. But I would not send this or any video to him, as I understand the level of hate that comes with it from his followers.
Love.your.horse.101 I understand that but I honestly don’t think he’s a rational man and it would just turn into something where he bashes the entire barn and everything in the video while having to throw some sort of sexist jab into the mix 😂
Shelby Dennis Ugh yeah I hate Rick Gore, he's an idiot lol 😂
Shelby Dennis I unsubscribed from that woman basher. I got so tired of him being an ass and disrespecting women. But I enjoy your videos.
I have never liked anyone who uses bits besides you before. I know you dont abuse your horses. They are very well behaved.
I don´t really like the racehorse scene but what you show is more than okay for me. You handle them pretty well and and theres no abuse at all... but some of the companions are really to extrem... but thats no hate to you :D youre doing awesome
Would you ever clean the bits. This is not a hate comment. If u don't clean the bits it could hurt the horses mouths. 🙂🙂🙂
Charlotte O Gorman They’re dipped after every horse and washed after every training day ends. My boss has been in this industry since she was a child and knows her stuff...
Racing is harsh to the horses muscles and bones
Emily Equestrian Any type of riding puts more strain on the horse than would being a pasture pet, so the hypocrisy in the fact that you’re evidently a rider is a bit silly. The Jockey Club has easy to access stats that will confirm how low the breakdown rates are for you if you’re confused.
Ummm no it isn't, its the same as show jumping and or riding in general.
**Abusive/excessive racing
You should not ride horses as babies
you don't break a horse, you start them, no hate tho
Luna.wolfsister Are you against people saying they house break their puppies, too or...? It’s literally just another term for saying starting. The two are interchangeable.
Shelby Dennis no I'm not, it's possible I just get it wrong, in my language it means you abuse the horse or break the spirit. again, I meant no hate, it is possible you say break and it is a good thing lol
Luna.wolfsister Well, like people using the term “house break” for potty training animals, breaking means the same thing. Just to train them.
Shelby Dennis okay, I'm just saying what I thought okay? please I also don't say house breaking here
Luna.wolfsister I’m merely correcting you, just as you were trying to do with me..
Is it me or is she riding way too long and in the totally wrong position
Holly Flynn It’s just you because if we’re not breezing them there’s absolutely no reason to shorten your base of support on such a spooky track. Stirrup length is a preference, not something that is dictated. No one here rides anywhere near as short as they would in town. Have you ever galloped before? Not sure how this is at all “the wrong position” since I’m up off their back, just not folded over in a breezing position. Please elaborate.
Shelby Dennis yes I have galloped ,I work on a racing yard and we always wear our stirrups at a length just shorter than we are normally used to then we get used to it and in the position I would want to be a bit lower down and a bit more in control
Holly Flynn This length is shorter than a regular riding length. I find it very strange that if you’ve galloped before, you’d fold over and recommend getting lower when you’re not working them. I am completely in control. No one, including the #1 jockey in my province who helped to train me, gets in a lower position like you’re recommending unless they’re asking the horse to move out. That is how you’d lose control. Who do you gallop for? I find it very strange that you’d recommend a low position “for more control” on relaxed horses who are not working.
Holly Flynn stirrup length is all about preference you can ride as long or short as you want as long as you want. I prefer short but people at my yard ride long too.
Good grief you don’t need bits and the race horse industry is all about abuse horses don’t like bits
Ship 758 It’s actually not at all and more regulated than the vast majority of equine industries. Our horses are all quite happy to be bridled and go out but thanks for your input. Just think if you put this effort into helping horses who actually need it, then you’d be doing something.
