| Post subject: | over training? |
hi all im not a league player and enjoy plodding through seasons with my horses of all abilities on manual training. i just wondered if anyone had ever found that they were "over-training" there horses? i got into teh habit of running horses at a gallop as soon as they were capable until they raced. then started tinkering with doing alternate days gallop and canter until they are a week off races etc. obviously people may not want to give away their training techniques if they are in teh league i just wondered what pple thought. inbox me if you dont want to post? thanks guys xxxx |

I don't think anyone in the league uses manual training because it takes too long. I don't think there are that many people at all who use manual training, the majority use simple training. Hopefully Bill Seiko (I think) may be able to answer your question. |

Since the very first Starters Orders I've manual trained and played on the hard setting. I find it much more fulfilling to micromanage each horse. Simple training just doesn't appeal to me but if that's your way of playing -- go for it. As long as you're having fun. I use a certain training pattern. 21 days before a race I set the horses training to amber (lot 2). 8 days before the race I set it to red (lot 3). A day before the race I set it back to amber so the horse doesn't train on hard the day of the race which seems like something logical a real trainer would do. After a race the amount of rest they get depends on the horses age, sex and amount of races they've run recently. If a targeted race comes quickly after the last run race the minimum days rest I'll give is seven days. I've never used the gallop trial so I can't comment on its effectiveness. Another thing if people don't know this -- during periods of no training setting - check your horses estimated training potential to see if their starting and agility needs to be improved. If you set special training to focus on one of these during a rest period eventually they'll improve. With a few exceptions. |
