Racehorse barns at feeding time
might look like assembly lines
as the cart heads down the shedrow
and grooms scoop grain into
buckets. However, the most successful
operations are the ones constantly making
individual adjustments.
“You feed horses a lot through your eye,”
said John Sadler, who is at or near the top
of the trainer’s list at all major Southern
California Thoroughbred meetings. “You
look at horses, and you see the horses that
you want to carry more weight vs. the ones
that are carrying too much weight.”
Feeding Thoroughbreds in training
must be balanced by how much work the
horse is being asked to do. Those in heavy
training or near a race will be eating much
more than horses just beginning to train,
laid up by injury, or being rested.
