How Have Training Methods Changed
« on: October 20, 2023, 09:41:37 AM »
As an ex-owner it seems that the training of the harness horse must have changed a lot in recent decades. Where the sport used to place a big emphasis on building a horses’s foundation it now has become a sport of very high speed. So what are honest trainers doing differently to rev up their horses to be competitive in today’s racing world?

On young horses, double headers rather than 2 separate trips
