A) This horse is not being abused. She is being medically tested so as to ensure that she is NOT abused by racing if she has a breathing disorder. B) She is not being forced to go too fast for too long. This is less work than she would normally do in a normal training session. It's well within her capabilities. C) She is being held with tight leads because she is a trained athlete who can travel a lot faster than this treadmill if she decided to do so -- which could endanger her. D) The whip is only used for encouragement the way a baton is used to conduct an orchestra. In this case, because she is not on the track with a driver and other horses around, tapping her with the stick, keeps her mind on what she is doing and helps the vet determine, as she accelerates, if her airway is working properly. If it were not, the test would be stopped. E) She is bred to be a pacer, but sometimes pacers opt to trot when they're not in a competitive situation or they are going slow or asked to go at full speed. Having hobbles on her actually HELPS to ensure that she doesn't lose her footing and fall - HOBBLES DO NOT HURT HER. If they HURT, she would kick them off and keep kicking until she destroyed the entire room. Yes -- she could easily do that if she was being hurt or annoyed. Hobbles do not FORCE her to do anything. They steady her gait and help to make the medical test accurate. No one HURT this mare in any way. Listen, harness racing is not a business like a circus where lions and tigers and elephants often endure cruel training techniques. These are equine athletes who are trained pretty much like kids who go to school for track and field. Believe me, if they do not like the game, or they don't want to race, they will NOT do it. They will refuse to jog or train - they might even lie down on the track. This mare seems to like what she's doing. Like I said, if this BOTHERED her or caused her to be in pain, she would NOT do it and the whole place would look like a hurricane hit it. Thank you.

I think this is good because it is for a good cause. And to whoever thinks it's cruel to make standardbreds stay in their pacing at that speed is wrong. Standardbreds are actually designed to pace, whether pacing fast or slow. They aren't designed to canter or gallop, they are bred to pace, and pace at extremely high speeds. That's why when you get a standardbred they often have a four beat canter instead of three, because they aren't designed to have a canter gait like other breeds of horses.

We do this all the time, Barrel racers, english riders, race horse, harness horses ect. Its a way to see how are horse cardiovascular system and muscles handle the stress before they hit the track. We usually take them out of training if the speed of the treadmill and the MPH and heart rate can't handle a 40MPH Pace or Trot. We then take blood samples and scope their throat as well as Lungs to see the Pulmonary Pressure. Its all to save a horse before they get to a race or competition. They are worked out before they come to the hospital. Its well worth it, because if anything happens to the horse, the horse is at the best hospital money can buy.

Standardbreds are a gaited breed of horse just like the Tennesse Walking horse, Rocky mountain horse, Icelandic Horse, Fox Trotter, or Racking horses. There are two different lines of in the standardbred breed. Troting lines and the Pacing lines. Pacing is genetic just as Trotting is genetic. Unlike the other breeds listed, STB's cannot switch between pacing and trotting, which makes them unique. Pacing also is a more efficiant form of movement than a trot.

They can absolutely both trot AND pace. Yes you are right about the 2 different lines, pacers and trotters, trotters of course cannot pace as they are not born with the genes necessary to pace. But pacers can trot. All of the pacers I know are capable of trotting and often do so, I pleasure drive with my retired pacer and he perfers a trot. The pace gait is in addition to the trot. They just have an extra gait.

If you have a standardbred, you went into this knowing that there is a 70% chance that he or she is a pacer, right? Apart from galloping, pacing is their natural gait -- just like camels, giraffes and elephants. All pacers can trot but few trotters can pace. Pacing is a hard habit to break because it's not a habit. It's been in their blood for ages -- oddly enough - as far as standarbreds go, the pacing line ( through breeding of pacing road mares) is older than the trotting line. It has to be, since pacers pre-date Hambletonian who is the foundation sire of ALL standardbreds - trotting or pacing.

@STBFanClub Honey, they're not hobbles. They help her keep gait. The pace she's doing is barely the same as what she would normally do an a track, and they gave her time to warm up her legs.

Yeah, I know the hobbles aid the horse to move laterally. This is not unlike any device that encourages a certain movement or frame.

The speed was 43 kmh which is just under 27mph. This horse is pacing, not trotting; the world record for fastest mile by a pacer is 1:45 2/5, the fastest trotter slightly behind at 1:48 2/5. The world record for fastest mile by a thoroughbred on dirt is 1:32 1/5, so the standardbreds aren't that far behind in either gait.

Is it possible that the gear was too tight on the horses you saw? It's great hearing about horses that find homes off-the-track :) pity about the poor boy and his cuts though.

If the horse is in any way overworked, they would see so in the heart rate and immediately slow down and/or stop the treadmill. 5) Treadmills are for exercise.

The description says this horse is being tested for epiglottic entrapment, a breathing condition that only displays itself when a certain speed is reached. The lady is making sure that the horse does not slow but instead increases speed gradually until the symptoms appear or he reaches his maximum capability without breathing difficulties. She is aiding in an accurate diagnosis. Over the ground, I used to be very concerned as well. Someone explained to me that the way the weight is carried in standardbred racing (pulled instead of ridden, and the way their pace works) the horses are actually healthier on hard ground. It's a pretty backwards sounding concept compared to other disciplines including thoroughbred racing:)

Nah, I got to disagree with you. Personally, I've witnessed pacers keep up with the TB I was riding at three-quarter pacework (on a sand surface though). "It's totally unnatural for the horse to stay in the gait while going that fast." How do you know that? The vets are my track have never said that. Source please? "young horse still learning, being forced to pace" Pacers don't learn how to pace. It comes naturally.
