Breaking In Thoroughbreds: The Glenrae Way

14/6/2023

 
Breaking in thoroughbreds is an art. At Glenrae Thoroughbreds, we've honed our methods over the years. Our approach involves horse agistment in our multi-facility stud, complete with custom-built stables. We take pride in preparing your horse for the tracks with great care and expertise.
Correct Methods for a Strong Foundation

At Glenrae Thoroughbreds, we believe in laying a strong foundation. The first step is mouthing. Mouthing helps the horse get used to the bit and bridle. This stage is crucial for establishing control and communication. Our skilled team ensures that your horse gets comfortable with the bridle in a calm setting.

Safety and Comfort through Custom-built Stables

Our state-of-the-art stable complex is designed with safety in mind. The comfort of the horse during the breaking-in process is paramount. The stables have been built to avoid injuries and ensure that the horse feels secure. This environment contributes positively to the horse's mental state, which is vital for effective breaking in.

Expert Handling for Lasting Trust

Building trust between the horse and handler is essential. At Glenrae, our experienced team members work closely with each horse. Their genuine passion and love for horses make them ideal handlers. They utilise gentle techniques to ensure that the horse trusts them, which is crucial for successful breaking in.

Systematic Training Regimen

After laying the foundation, it's time for a systematic training regimen. We focus on building the horse's strength, balance and responsiveness. Regular exercise in our large sand round yard helps build muscle and coordination. The training also involves schooling in basic commands and gaits. This phase usually lasts around six weeks.

Onsite Vet Support

During the breaking-in process, it's essential to monitor the horse's health. Our onsite vet room ensures that any health issues are addressed promptly. The veterinarians at Glenrae are experienced in equine care. They work in tandem with the handlers to ensure that the horse stays in prime condition throughout the training.

A Nurturing Environment

Located just 2.5 hours from Sydney, Glenrae Thoroughbreds is nestled in perfect horse territory. The natural surroundings provide a serene environment that’s conducive to the horse’s mental well-being. Fresh air, open spaces, and a peaceful atmosphere complement the structured training regimen. This holistic approach ensures that the horse is not just physically but also mentally prepared for the races.
