"Get Involved" your first step into thoroughbred racing.

Over the last few months i have been putting pen to paper and finally my book is complete and you can view it at the link below:

Owning a racehorse doesn't mean just running out and buying a yearling at a big sale. There are a lot of options, each with its own risks and benefits, and you need to decide which way is right for you. This ebook will teach you the different ways to buy and race a horse.

Why read it?

This guide is especially handy if you havenâ��t experienced a lot of the ground work in thoroughbred racing yet or if you are involved in racing but donâ��t do any of the real work. I hope to shed some light on some common interface elements and challenges people often have with them.

Why write it?

The reason for writing is because many people (me included) make many mistakes when making their first thoroughbred purchase. A lot of books have been written in the past but the threshold for reading them, especially if you have never raced a horse, is quite big, hence the creation of this book. This is by no means a complete guide or solid set of rules, but it is definitely a good start.

Horseback Riding Instruction

Whether you are a seasoned horseback rider or just beginning and need to get instruction in order to handle a horse safely and learn the things you need to know to ride a horse and control a horse, you need someone who knows about horses and how to handle them. Some horses can get over one thousand pounds and they are very powerful animals. They have personalities of their own and have feelings just as we do. Learning the basics is not a task that you learn in ten minutes. Although you can read on how to handle a horse, the real experience comes from hands on training and instruction. There is more than just jumping on a horse and telling him to giddy-up.

Horse Riding Techniques and Tips

The thought of riding horses is often bewildering to people. The thought of climbing high in the saddle can be scary because horses are rather large and can seem frightening. Lots of people are nervous about horseback riding, but some are actually afraid of horses. You are not to be blamed for this. You are just acting upon information that you have gathered throughout your life.

Trackside TV under the knife

TAB cost cutting is about to hit racing's Trackside television channel with scores of redundancies, the axing of most shows, and reduced raceday coverage.

And the impending cuts have industry leaders worried the channel, racing's shop window, will become a turnoff for viewers with little more than wall-to-wall racing from obscure overseas venues.

The job losses will hit everyone from senior managers to the newest recruits, as New Zealand Racing Board bosses try to save $12 million in the wake of declining betting turnover.

20 Healthy Eating Habits

1. Have a big glass of water a few minutes before eating, it’ll help you to feel fuller.

2. When eating out order water with lemon instead of sugary drinks or alcohol. The lemon is refreshing, and will help your body process the fatty food you’re eating.

3. When ordering Chinese food, get steamed rice instead of fried rice.

4. If you want to go to an expensive restaurant or buffet, go for lunch, you’ll enjoy the same quality of food at a much lower price. You also will have that big meal earlier in the day.

5. When at social gatherings or during the holidays it can be challenging not to fall off the wagon. Some people actually eat more because they are stressed–there is a chemical reason for it. Do some deep breathing, stretching, take a walk, to try listening to your favourite song to try to get those stress-hormone levels down before you surround yourself with food.

Obesity Is America's NUMBER 1 KILLER EVERY YEAR!

The underlying current to being over weight or fat, is much deeper than problems that the gyms, celebrity endorsed courses or miracle pills claim they solve. This is about individualism, and each and every individual must deal with their overweight problems with their own customized treatment, or a combination of overlapping positive increments.

Here at everLoss, we know the world is getting fat at an alarming rate, and we know that this is the time where the health care systems around the world get put to their tests. This is the time to note that the USA is number 37 on the list of healthiest coutries. Why are Americans getting so fat? It has more to do with the way you live than what you eat.

How to Go From Fat To Fit For Good

The journey of transforming your body from out of shape to fit as a fiddle is a long one with many twists and turns. It behooves you to focus on the end result at the onset of that journey because you may lose motivation as results come slowly. But if you can’t visualize the possibility of going from one extreme to another, you won’t be able to stay the course.

Jockeys right up there in the dangerous jobs stakes

A jockey's life is about the most dangerous there is, a new study in Australia has found.

Researchers say that in the danger stakes, being a jockey was only just outranked by offshore fishermen.

The Australian Racing Board said the study, published in the Australian Medical Journal, confirmed the importance racing authorities placed on improving health and safety standards.

"We welcome this research as reinforcing the importance of our ongoing efforts to make health and safety in Australian racing as safe as possible," ARB chairman Bob Bentley said.
