This is considered a race for 3-year-olds, but their actual age can be 2 if they turn 3 later in the year.
Race horses are given the birth date of January 1st for age calculation, no matter when they fold. That is why it is so very important to have your horse fold in the early Spring.
they have to be 3- whatever to race, though I would wait until they are 5 to race, and take them up in the thin mountain air for training if you can afford it, because they will get accustomed to the thin air and use less air when racing, there for they won't tire as quickly with the normal air( 0-156ft above sea level). :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
You can be as young or as old as you want to own a race horse. If you're a child or a teen though, you must have your parents permission to own the race horse ! You have a responsibility to take proper care of your race horse don't forget !
trainers will start breaking and training the horses as soon as they can. I think they start racing at about 2-3 years of age. hope I helped! Tuxedo-kitten xxx
Most start at age 2.
Well most racing associations allow racing to begin at 2 years old. Although some people have been know to race yearlings.
Many modern race horses are allowed to race starting at the age of 2 years, but this is unhealthy for their joints and can cause severe injuries to underdeveloped tissues.
It must be a three year old.
about 2

No certain age. I know a 6 year old who can train them.
I have seen horses race as yearlings and to be in the Kentucky Derby they must be three. It just depends on the race! Most thoroughbreds begin racing at age 2.
for most horses yes but every horse is different so it depends on the horse
They can be good race horses against other Morgans, but not against Thoroughbreds or Quarter horses.
Twenty horses can race at a time
Horses of courses is a jumping term... like the track is what race horses race on, well a course is what jumpers jump on
there is no particular race that 3 horses race in. there are more than 3 horses in a race which name is unmentionable figure it out by yourself i am not your mother don't even dare to improve this honest answer i have written i know i am cool
it all depends on the race.
Iris this is to prove my point."Yes he does ride race horses
They don't really have a name for a group of race horses as far as I know. Cause generally when racing, they compete against each other. And it's a solo race for the win. So there is no association with the other horses, like for example a team of basketball players. There is no real name for a pack of race horses or a herde of race horses, or horde of race horses..............
