TRAINING for LIFE A glimpse into the world of trainers in thoroughbred horse racing

TRAINING FOR LIFE - by Garry Manuel/Sunflare Songs

Music: Sunup & Garry Manuel

Narration: James Wilson

There is no question that horses have long captivated our attention due to their majestic and powerful nature. This lifestyle along with both the toughness and beauty of the sport of horse racing drew us in as far back as 1978, with the Triple Crown battle between Affirmed and Alydar. But as you might have already noted, we have songs and a video about Hall of Fame trainer, Woody Stephens and we have music videos representing the horses and horse men and women at the Saratoga Race Course.

In this film/video we pull back the curtain and give a behind the scenes look at what goes into training a race horse. Three trainers are interviewed as they describe their lives, as well as the types of training techniques that are used daily. You will also hear about some of the hardships that can be encountered for the horses and workers.

Trainers interviewed: John Grabowski, Orlando Noda & Rachel Sells
