My absolute dream is to train, ride out and exercise young Thoroughbreds, it looks like an absolutely incredible way to live. Here's hoping someday it'll become reality! Until then my own ex racer gives me all the thrill of galloping I need, I swear he almost misses those days on the track, once he gets going it's almost impossible to stop him. Love seeing videos like these, thank you!
Its descustin u work your arse of for pennys
Fabulous! Brilliant! Amazing training of youngsters. The best I've seen! Thank you so tremendously much to the Godolphin Team for taking such fantastic care of the horses in training. You are doing a stellar job!

You are doing a realy good job. Well done congratulation.
Brilliant facilities
Love how these videos bring out all the equine experts😂😂😂
hi my friend Nice video
Riding yearlings?
Like yeah how old are these horses 🐴😠
Racehorses are broken in as yearlings, its early but thoroughbreds mature a lot quicker than most other horse breeds.
@@OfficialMuffiin factually incorrect all horse breeds mature at the same rate
@@sallypenno164 that is definitely not true
@@OfficialMuffiin
Surprisingly it is.
Growth and Bone Development in the Horse: When Is a Horse Skeletally Mature?
Hello! At what age did they start to get on horses?
Ábel Farkas jockeys get on at 1 year old, and normal humane people get on at 3-4 years old.
@@chrishale1345 its fine for thoroughbreds. also the people on then are extremely light and on for a short amount of time
@@theoreticallates5074 so it’s ok for people to ride thoroughbreds but not other breeds and no matter how light they are they can still cause a lot of discomfort
we need jods
I love Horseracing ^^
Thanks for the information, I want to become a breeder of thoroughbreds. I would love to find two broodmare and breed them to a good stallion for the sales.
Good luck
that lady is very smatt
Nic nice nice where are you guys do you race I want to be with you ahhhhhh please oh wait in 10 xD amazing I love this
Joleen Pardo i
my dream is work for Godolphin
Same i would love to work there but its not my dream job
What do you have to study to get a job doing this?
find a job working at a racing barn or thoroughbred training barn first as a stable hand. (doing stalls, grooming, all that) keep working hard at it and in most barns they’ll move you up to doing things like this. if it’s been over half a year and you’re still doing the same thing then talk to your boss about wanting to learn to do this. it’s a long process but trust me it’s worth it! a few things to know though are most trainers are tough on you and there’s a high chance you will get yelled at. if you want to be an exercise rider height doesn’t matter and weight doesn’t matter as much (up to 150 lbs should be ok with most people) but if you want to break babies they won’t want you over 110-115 lbs. final thing is make sure you don’t lie about your experience, word in the horse world spreads fast. we had a person lie about grooming experience and my boss told all the barns close to us about it. just be honest, take advice from your co workers, and work hard! good look if you try and go for it!
@@theoreticallates5074 I've taken note, thank you so much for your help!
@@koffeebat3808 Hey! It depends on where you are, take it from someone who came from never sitting on a horse until I was 16, to professionally riding Racehorses in Ireland and Australia.
If you don't have basic riding experience, please please get it. Learn English riding, and have them teach you how to properly trot, canter, and gallop, learning to Jump, particularly Cross Country also helped me incredibly well in the long run, because it taught me essentials like how to sit bucks, rears and stumbles better whenever I or the horse made a mistake.
Do NOT whatever you do, try and take up a job riding racehorses with zero riding experience, you will be asking to be killed, this isn't meant to be mean, but for your own safety and the horses.
I rode for about 3 years extremely regularly before working for a barn, it depends on where you are, in the UK and Ireland smaller trainers will happily take you on, in Australia and the USA you'll need to look for rural small trainers that have their own setup that are more willing to take you on, they're desperate for staff right now, so make sure your trainer has a good reputation and will take care of you, I know of a few that will get you buried 6 feet under and throw you on something that will put you in hospital straight away.
The right trainer will have you on something easy-going, and it may not be a current racehorse, perhaps a retired one or a lead pony to get a feel for it.
Racing/Trackwork tack is far different to English tack, but still more related to each other than Western tack. Learn to do up your stirrup irons and girth both at a walk AND the trot, you'd be surprised thrown into the deep end that the more experienced jockeys and riders may not wait for you to stand around fumbling at your stirrups just before the track, they'll go off without you, and your horse will take off with you to follow them leaving you with long or uneven stirrups and grabbing madly at the reins!
STIRRUPS! Are so incredibly important, your legs WILL be in absolute agony starting out, I am not joking, you'll feel it for weeks on end and will be walking like a duck.
Shorter stirrups = More Leverage for a stronger horse that pulls. Longer Stirrups I ride with babies, as they're more likely to stumble, spook, or be bolty, and gives extra security. (The saying, Ride Long, Live Long!) If you have a naughty puller, you need to decide how good you are at staying on, and choose whether to sacrifice balance, pulling strength or somewhere in the middle with stirrup length.
The reins are the most important bit, we ride much differently to any other type of horse, we "bridge" the reins so we don't fight them, learning the "hold" is the key to having a nice relaxed horse, and one that will put its' head down and run off with you at 40mph and nothing you can do about it, NEVER EVER shorten your reins up to pull more if they go too fast, unless you want to end up next down over, keep your reins long but a very healthy contact and pull, DIG your hands into the horses neck/withers and plant them there, this is an anchor so they will not pull your arms off.
Speaking of arms, we never pull with our arms, if I can get them back easy enough, I twist my wrists back while I'm anchored into the withers, if they're especially strong, sometimes pulling with one rein gets them back, if you need to take a proper pull, lean back with your ENTIRE body weight, and "push" your feet in the stirrup forward, almost like you're trying to lift something up, let your whole body do the pulling, your arms are just anchors again, this stops you getting tired. Every horse is different, and you gotta get a feel of which will listen to you with each method, some don't like when you fight them, period.
There's nowhere online that "teaches" you how to truly hold a racehorse. If you have a jockey school nearby, definitely go to it! Perhaps see if any riding schools in your area have ex jockeys or trackwork riders. It's a very physically demanding job, but 100% worth it! Best of luck
@@theoreticallates5074 Hi What type of feed is given to racehorses in general?
I want to be a jockey please help me i live in turkey
no TB racing in Turkey?
I think would be a fun job to eventually have! I know how to ride! Been riding for nine years both English and Western and this is possibly the part about horse racing that I like
What happens to the horses who can't run fast enough?
most of them get sold and get different jobs like dressage or jumping
I DONT KNOW HOW MALCOLM AGREED TO TEACH ANYONE TO RIDE ANYTHING UNDER 3+ 😮
Yearlings should NEVER be broken in PERIOD!!!
and that's why racing is a buisness not a sport - people aren't giving even yearlings a normal childhood
in this age they are kids! really
Riding, not racing, a yearling actually toughens up joints and strengthens muscles. Racing in itself is not bad for horses either. Where the industry has gone wrong is in allowing drugs that mask the pain so injured horses keep running.
A horse isn't fit for riding at least for longer periods of time (so excluding short breaking sessions) until it's 4 or 5ish.
That said thoroughbreds mature more quickly but 1 and 2 (when they're usually raced) is too early.
According to what you comment: Babys are ridden -even in narrow circles.But probably -in comparison with the average -industry,they get a very good treatment.That means that Godolphin at least takes a front position in horse-treatment,instead of spending all the money in their own comfort.
Even the idea to mount a yearling is normally considered as insane and probably noone cares what will happen to all those horses who cannot stand this exploitation of their energy which is supposed to make them grow up sound to strong horses,instead of becoming useful elements you can bet on,when running in endless circles for their "owners".
Another question that occurs is: What would you do with grown-up,strong Thoroughbreds,which did not learn to be slaves at very young age and isolated from their social community?The weird riding-style would probably be useful for the horse to catapult this baggage into the ground.At least Schlenderhan Wiener Walzer did it by the way "once upon a time" after winning the derby. Horse-racing today depends on very devote horses,who learned to obey and not to resist,even if they are not able to perform.
Its been tried in starting them older, but the bones simply don't get the chance to develop the same way and in fact, the horses end up breaking down earlier and more catastrophically than in the traditionally started horses.
Have you ever been near anything near this industry? You sound like you're spewing supposition.
A horse should be given a minimum of 2 years of healthy growth for strong bone development before any type of riding is allowed. One year is just to young.
pahrahinc in Germany we say that a horse shouldn't be ridden in their first 3,4 years
pahrahinc I agree and would go three. But tell owners of racing paints that and they will try to prescribe medication to you.
That’s why these horse live until 30 and have no health issues 🤣
Thorough breds mature earlier ...there is no right age ..it really depends on the type of horse ...warmbloods saddlebreds a little later 2 yrs maybe and draughts usually much later there are exceptions though...you need to listen to your vet and trainer ...if someone says there is ONE age all breeds ofhorses should be ridden though they don't know their stuff...it even differs among thorough breds ...the leggier ones supposedly mature faster but there are early mature lines and late mature lines. But really you need the horse examined by a vet.
@@silverkitty2503 there is no scientific proof they mature earlier. It's a complete myth. Actually thoroughbreds mature slower than other horses because of their long backs.
u shouldnt ride yearlings.......
You obviously know nothing about racing. Some of these will retire to stud at 4 or 5 and never be sat on again!! Or, how about racing is banned and we have them all put down!!!
Katie Perry that’s exactly what everyone wants dumbass. For racing to be banned. Riding yearlings is abusive as they haven’t even fully developed yet. Shame on you bitch
Katie Perry your clearly the dumbass you shouldn’t ride a yearling or two year old for anything! They don’t just retire after 4 some don’t even stop racing at 4🤦♀️
Evie May they wouldn’t ride them if they weren’t ready dumbass
@@archiethompsom6669 read some studies on when a horse is fully developed and what riding them before they are grown shortens their lifespan and can lead to injuries (which the racingindustry is known for), jesus christ, so uneductated
sad
Wow just wow. Riding yearlings? What the hell is wrong with these People
They are selfish and greedy. Racing industry = a miserable life for a horse.
@@chinering23 No horsemanship in either one.
Why did you watch this video? Just out of interest? It’s common knowledge they do this.
@@georgiagoult4415 Of course it is common knowledge that they do this. And it is completely wrong and not in the best interests of the horses.
@@chinering23 Wow! You sure have a lot to learn about horses. And a whole lot to unlearn. Not hard running as in horse racing as a two or less year old. They haven't even come close to finish growing yet.
please I want to be a jockey I love horses so much please help me become the biggest jockey
GODOLPHİN HELLP ME :(
Don't you realize how fundamentally wrong this is? The horse is not fully grown until about 5 years old. You don't ride a horse until that horse is fully grown. Ground work can start early, but not riding. And racing a physically undeveloped horse, are you out of your mind?
A yearling is way to young to be broken or ridden. They aren’t ready for that type of stuff yet. It can affect their mental and physical health. Shame on you guys,
Looks all White.
What do you mean?
What? Godolphin is owned by Saudis and they employ thousands of non whites
Nah,mainly chestnuts and bays
I find this very horse unfriendly. These horses are way too young and live very unnaturally for a horse. I feel sorry for them, all horses in the cruel race industry. The mouth opening is because of pain from the bit, they become totally apathetic (senseless, closed off to their feelings) to cope with all the stress and their bodies will be worn out and sore by the time they are finally full grown. I hope you change your ways.
All these horses will probably be dead by time they are 3-4. :So sad, horseracing is cruel, vile "sport".
Not true. Where did you get your read that? On PETAs page? Lmao
@@jennyandersson6238 What she said might have been exaggerated but riding yearlings? Like come on
TOO YOUNG to be ridden. Just because it's been done for centuries, doesn't make it right. Racing needs to change.

You people are very good but I think you need to stop it with the dressage training on thoroughbreds. No wonder you end up with horses who don’t know what they are supposed to do like Mandaloun. It is overtraining and overwhelming for the horse IMO and erases the personality of a horse
