Racehorse Equipment| Tack Up W/ Me 

"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.

This is honestly so interesting. I really would love to try to ride a racehorse someday!

Could you do the weekly schedule of a racehorse? Like with feeding, exercise, turnout, etc. I think that'd be really interesting!

The dramatic music in the background 😂

The horses at your barn are really polite and chill

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 (:

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! ❤️😍🐎

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.

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! 😘

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 😂

loved this sooo much

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!

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....

Love this! Hope Archie is getting better xx

You can do your girth up whilst trotting?!! I struggle when my horse is standing still 🙈

racing saddles look so uncomfortable! are they?

I can do my girth and stirrups at a walk but at a trot.. Tell me your ways xD

It's cool seeing how a bunch of the ottbs at my barn started out!!

I ride out racehorses and this is a really good video and very well explained

This video is so informative. Your racing barn seems so nice and you're so lucky!!

This is really interesting.

I work with racehorses and this is so interesting. You’re a good rider😊

You should make more videos like this!!

*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 ✌️

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

Thanks for the rundown on all the tack!

That was great information!!!!! I love your videos!!!!!

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

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

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.

Very educational thanks for sharing this video!

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. 😂

This was very interesting!

Thank you so much for this. I actually really learnt alot

Shelby: "We never put blinkers on a horse for no reason.." Aslo Shelby: "Milo galloping with blinkers on just for fun." 😂 Love it❤❤

This was so interesting!

Awesome video thank you!

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?

Super interesting to watch!

This was very interesting, loved this :D

Wow! SO many things to keep track of. Btw is the music from inception? Lol it sounds very similar :P

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

You should do a daily racing stable routine

I am impressed with this video! 😉

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.

Can you do a galloping routine or like what you do while galloping a horse

Why a race horse trainer would strode a young horse instead of giving him a trot?

If i want a job like you have what should i do is there any chance 🤔

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

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! : )

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.

Do you need to work out racing horse because my cousin should me how to but his horse is not a racing horse .

2:44 my leased horse uses that same bit :)

Where are you getting those jockey saddles from ?

I have that second saddle

Woah, do you guys handle stallions or some real studdy geldings? I just saw some chiffney's, just wondering. Love how informational you are!

Where do you get your saddles?

Oh wow

do you put your race horses out to pasture??

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 ^^

Just wondering but why do you leave the halter on?

is it normal to ride with such long stirrups when exercising?

Do you leave halters abd polos on the horses?

Love this video. Does anyone know what the intro song is?

Where are you ?

Heyyo I suggested this!

So cool! I have a black two year old gelding that I am trying to train as a racehorse!

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?

I have never liked anyone who uses bits besides you before. I know you dont abuse your horses. They are very well behaved.

What you call a ring bit we would call a anti lugging bi

the "bibs" are training forks... the "blinkers" are blinders...

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

My name is Shelby

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

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.

Y the small stsll

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. 🙂🙂🙂

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😁

Someone should send this to thinklikeahorse 😂

100th Like!

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

Racing is harsh to the horses muscles and bones

You should not ride horses as babies

you don't break a horse, you start them, no hate tho

Is it me or is she riding way too long and in the totally wrong position

Good grief you don’t need bits and the race horse industry is all about abuse horses don’t like bits
