Why do people like to watch horse races?

Answer 1

Not only is the Arabian horse beautiful but it is one of the oldest domestic breed, used by virtually all other breeds to improve their bloodlines and conformation.

Answer 2

because horses are rideable. And horses are intelligent creatures. You will learn how to work on a 1200 pound animal without talking, only using hand signals. You can also gain confidince. When you fall off always get back on. Or when you are frusterated, you can always practice. This is a great way for children to interact with a new "friend" and learn at the same time.

Answer 3

They make it easier to ride the horse but they are not essential.
The horse doesn't have to wear a saddle. The saddle is just a way to make it easier for people to keep their balance on the horse.
You don't actually need a saddle for a horse. A saddle makes riding more comfortable for both the horse and the rider.It is also for balance for the rider.

Answer 4

because people will bet on anything...gambling is an addiction just like drugs,cigarettes,and booze...i battle the demon of addiction every day. but betting on the ponies is pretty stupid..horse racing is Fixed and is corrupted with mob influences.. if you want a fair race between horses..remove the jockey and let the horse run by itself..then you get a fair race.. its fun to put a couple bucks on a race or two but i ahve seen people go broke betting onthe ponies..... if u want to bet on something..bet on NFL football..if you never have done it, try it..it will change your whole outlook on the game..and the NFL is run by Gambling..
