How To Get Your Horse To Obey You and Look To You For Instruction

Feb 8, 2012

Who can blame you; dirt bike racing is an increasingly popular choice for many thrill seekers. The first thing you need to consider is your safety. If you have no or little knowledge of racing dirt bikes then you should get a professional to look at your bike for you and make the necessary repairs or replacements. Will I be getting big air when I start racing dirt bikes. When you start racing dirt bikes it is highly unlikely you will get more than a foot or two off the ground when you hit a jump, and this is a good thing.

Experience is crucial before you even consider escalating 10 feet into the air. If you don’t know what you are doing and you don’t have the experience of this then you will probably land it badly and get yourself hurt. If you look past the losses that Citation sustained at the end of his career, this has to have been one of the greatest horses in racing history if you simply look at his accomplishments. Citation was a horse that was not only blessed with blinding speed but with great staying power. The horse just never tired. Add to that a killer instinct that literally willed him past the other horses and this horse was almost unbeatable until he just got too old to do it anymore. Over the course of Citation’s career there were many changes. After the patriarch of Calumet Farms, Warren Wright, died, trainer Ben Jones started to hand over more responsibility of handling Citation to his son Jimmy. Unfortunately, the losses he sustained in the last 2 years of his career greatly diminished what he had accomplished in the eyes of others. Injuries kept him completely out of the 1949 racing season. In spite of all this, Citation somehow managed to shake off the defeats late in his career and win his final three races, something nobody expected him to be able to do. Citation’s career began in 1945 with great fanfare. With that victory, Citation became racing’s 8th triple crown winner. He was truly one of the greatest.

Getting a horse to back up is a basic and essential lesson horses should know.
