Drawing on two case histories to demonstrate precisely what is involved, Buying and Reschooling Ex-Racehorses guides the reader through the minefield of finding and acquiring a racehorse. Topics covered include: understanding the Thoroughbred; finding your horse; assessing conformation; evaluating your horse's potential; planning an effective training programme; physical preparation and turning away; training in the loose school; working over poles, riding away and further training. 70 b/w photos
