The International Federation for Equestrian Sports AKA Fédération équestre internationale AKA FEI oversees 6 great horse sports: Dressage, driving, endurance, eventing, show jumping, and vaulting. Which one of those fine equine sports is your favorite? For me, it's dressage, the pinnacle of horsemanship.Pic related: it's a horse doing some dressage(there are other horse sports like horse racing or racing or riding bucking broncos, but those aren't overseen by the FEI)
Another horse doing some dressage
I'm getting the impression that there aren't many equestrian chads here
>>154173880Non fucking way this is a sport. Get out of here, go clutter up some other board.
>>154174855how the hell can you claim horse sports aren't sports when they're literally overseen by The International Federation for Equestrian SPORTS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l77-_kwinGs>idiots actually think this isn't a sport
I only bet on horses.
I like watching horseys race, mostly a Japanese thoroughbred conniseur.
I've never met someone who is into horse sports but all of them that I've seen appear to be the worst people on earth. Animal abusing gambling addicts who love gambling so much that they genuinely believe the horses are not being abused and that anyone involved cares about the animals' wellbeing.
>>154176323I have met exactly one person who is into horse racing (and nobody who likes any non-racing horse event). He is a habitual gambler, but only spends about $50/week on all gambling. He's a loser pushing 60, but genuinely loves horse racing even if he couldn't bet money on it. He's a huge animal lover and thinks the horses have the competitive spirit and love racing just as much as people. As someone who couldn't give two shits about it, I'm inclined to believe him.
>>154176323Horse love being ridden.
>>154176889horse love jumping obstacles

GRAND NATIONAL DAYWHO WE GOT
Is this the Uma thread?
Is an horse a athlete?
>>154181466I bet by how much I like the silk outfit.
>>154176889Horses are cool dudes.
>>154181466Redpill me on the GRAND NATIONAL
>>154183288Probably the most prestigious and most well known horse race in the UK.
>>154183332Who should I bet on?
>>154183555I AM MAXIMUS is the safest bet. I just bet on 10 horses for £1 each. Safer that way. I just go by colour.
For Americans, if you have a horse betting account you can probably watch. I'm streaming it through TwinSpires RIGHT NOW
Why are the horses in the Grand National so much older than the horses in the big US races like the Kentucky Derby?
>>154183646What sports does this magnificent equine play?

>>154184592>didn't even get to 100 faultswhat a BUM
Will the thread make it to the Satsuki Sho or do >we make another one for that day? maybe one for the Oka Sho first.
>>154186462Redpill me on the Satsuki Sho and the Oka Sho
>>154186948First legs of the Japanese triple crown and triple tiara tours, the 3 big races every 3 year old colt and filly wants to get their hands on.Its said the triple tiara or triple crown winner is set to define a generation of racehorses, the most prestigious race of the 6 is the Japanese Derby but the highest rated horses tend to be those who can will all 3.
>>154184592All your life you're taught to paint inside the lines until someone dares to go beyond them and create something spectacular. It shows us how fragile our institutions are yet frees us of its burden
>>154186948>>154187187The first leg of the mare Classic, Japanese versionThe field is extremely stacked this time around, but seems like it boils down to Dream Core vs Star Anise. But this horse racing, and especially a Classic so anything can happen. Personally, I am longing for an Alankar victoryThe race can be watched on YouTube, or at the “usual place” [spoiler]kick .com/b01doghos[/spoiler]I am not an expert on keiba so you should ask more when the experts came
>>154186948Satsuki Sho - first leg of the Japanese Classic Triple Crown, 2000 meters (10 furlongs or around 1 and 1/4 of a mile) on Turf, 3-Year-Olds only, 1st Place earns 200,000,000 Yen (around 1.2 million US$).It was first run in 1939 and is the Japanese equivalent of the English 2,000 Guineas. (Note that the original 2,000 Guineas is run at 1,609 meters, or one mile, about two furlongs shorter than the Satsuki Sho), it's the first step for achieving the Classic Triple Crown, something that was done only 8 times in history of Japanese horse racingOutside of the prestige, the winner of the Triple Crown earns a bonus of 300,000,000 Yen (around 1.9 million US$)Oka Sho - the equivalent of Satsuki Sho but for the Classic Triple Tiara (only fillies and mares can run in this), 1600 meters (8 furlongs or 1 mile) on Turf, 3-Year-Olds only, the winner earns 140,000,000 Yen (around 900k US$)The Oka Sho was first contested in 1939, and is the Japanese equivalent of the English 1,000 Guineas.A winner of the Triple Tiara earns a bonus of 100,000,000 Yen (around 600k US$)Only 7 mares in Japanese racing history achieved The Triple Tiara
>>154189672Today's races (12 races in each of the three locations {Nakayama, Hanshin, Fukushima} for a total of 36 races) start in 3 hours btwOka Sho starts in 9 hours
>>154187187>>154189175>>154189672>>154189928Based Japanese horse enthusiasts
>>154189986For some reason there is a sizable audience for Japanese horse racing (keiba) on this website so hopefully we can keep this as a general going forward Of course, not only Japan’s but we are all interesting in the ridiculous speed competition of an one-toed, hoofed animal that for some reason always carries a mysterious bipedal meatsack on their back
>>154190059>For some reasonIt's because of Umamusume, It adapts Japanese horse racing history in a very faithful way. People start playing for the silly concept and then just fall down the rabbit hole, though in my case it straight up became my main hobby. I started keeping track of HK, US, UK, Irish, French and Australian racing scenes, not just the Japanese one. I even go to my local racetrackHorse racing is like crack
I am glad you degenerate gamblers keep the sport of kings going.
I think this Oka Sho is Star Anise's to lose for now, but i do not doubt Dream Core will shake things up, Alankar too i think Take is in good shape to ride lately, he only lost the Osaka Hai because Croix Du Nord is simply awesome with last bursts and Meisho Tabaru lost one of his horse shoes.
>>154191109I wish for a massive upset with Shonan Charis winning, Real Steel's blood for the win!
I just started getting interested in horse vrooms about a year ago, but I am extremely excited to see that a lot of anons on this board are also interested. I'm a little concerned with how much hirse racing is predicated upon gambling, but I am going to try to focus on the sporting aspect and keep these threads going. For me, it's Grand National and staple chase, but flat ovals are cool, too, if a bit short.
>>154190407>though in my case it straight up became my main hobby.Unfathomably based
>>154191234Did you enjoy the Grand National today, anon?
>>154191277More than you could imagine. I have rewatched it 3 times already. THAT was a sporting event. I have watched multiple past races before, too.Sleep chase and Grand National are kino AF.My big question is how did people get such retarded skittish animals the standard artillery barrages and cavalry charges?
>>154191606I've always assumed horsemanship and horse tactics in battle are quite a bit different from how we imagine them and how they're portrayed in movies. I honestly don't know tho
>>154191796Totally. But they have driven warfare since Alexander the Great and Gengis Khan to WWII.I've ridden horses at summer camp and they're totally retarded. It's amazing that they can be trained to tolerate Chasseurs shooting carbines off their backs, let alone jumping obstacles for /sp/ort.I love dogs, too, but they are more clearly obedient and retarded, so horse still intrigue me.
Is this the big JAPANESE RACE today? https://www.equibase.com/static/foreign/entry/HSN041126JPN-EQB.html
>>154192825If it is someone get the horse masume or whatever it’s called people in here
JP Horse racing:https://en.netkeiba.com/ for lineups/pedigrees/etc.The Oka Sho will be Hanshin Race 11. It's a race for 3YO fillies 1600 meters on turf. (In Japan and Europe, Turf races are considered more prestigious, whereas in North America and the Middle East the Dirt races are where the big time money and prestige go.I think someone put the kick link further up the thread, it has japanese commentary, it's a feed from a Japanese racing channel that rotates between the tracks running that day.For english commentary you have to find a pirate stream of Fanduel TV or Fanduel racing, which will rotate between different tracks throughout the world, usually only covers the japanese races from the main track, or some people have said you can see it on the JRA youtube, but i think it might be region locked.there's also a site the jp players have put up where you can fantasy bet imaginary yen https://dacchi.gudnight.fyi/dashboard.html
>>154195980Here's a list of pedigrees for non keiba fags. b01doghosis the usual kick link for anyone that doesn't know where to watch
Dressage looks nice and relaxing, but I can't for the life of me understand the scoring system. >>154192825Aye, Race 11.
My horse can run faster than your horse
Oka Sho will start in 1 hour and 40 minutes!
Splendid, I was about to bake a thread here for keiba. Who is Lemaire riding today?.Hope you guys enjoy the races /sp/artans and /v/ros.
>>154199003Dreamcore. Also riding Darlinghurst in a few minutes.
>>154199035Glad to see Poland is involved with racing.
>>154190059You know, If I’d known there was a horse general on /sp/, I would’ve started posting here ages ago. I honestly thought you guys were banished to /asp/ over the "Is an horse a athlete" thing. We’ve been watching horse racing all year over on /v/ma, today we even ran reenactment races for the Maker's Mark Mile and the Jenny Wiley after catching the action at Keeneland.

>>154199234Dream Core is a walking simulator. There's no shot she wins a race.
>>154196043I hope Star Anise takes it home

OUR HEROES!!!!!
The nip has been raised gentlemen, it begins.
>>154199440That is for NakayamaWe are looking for the next one at HanshinConfusing right?
AND THEY GO lets go dream core.
>>154199440>>154199443The Nips run very many races, at nearly the same time, across the country.
Some extra info on the Oka Sho runners.Star Anise>Won an impressive victory in last year’s Hanshin Juvenile Fillies, earning the JRA Award for Best Two-Year-Old Filly. >Her winning time in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies was tied with Ascoli Piceno (2023) as the fastest in the past 10 years.>Recent examples of two-year-old champions going straight to win the Oka Sho include Sodashi (2020) and Liberty Island (2022).Dream Core >She claimed her first graded stakes victory in the Queen Cup.>Her mother, Normcore, is a distinguished ohimba who won the 2019 Victoria Mile and the 2020 Hong Kong Cup>This will be her first race outside the Kanto region, she has taken measures by arriving early at Ritto Training Center. Garavogue>She finished second in the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies. Her estimated final three-furlong time was the fastest in the field, surpassing that of the winner, Star Anise.>She finished ninth in the Queen Cup. But now she's back in Hanshin, where she has never missed the exacta.>Her full brother, Danon Scorpion, won the 2022 NHK Mile Cup. Festival Hills >After winning the Fantasy Stakes, she was forced to skip the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies due to a fracture.”>Her half-brother, Museum Mile, won last year’s Satsuki Sho and also took the Arima Kinen.
>>154199443My club gaslight me again....
That was fucking tight!Runaway actually worked this time
16 damn near had it. Just needed an extra 50 meters
Wtf is this funky music??
>>154199466Neigha, its the winning live.
>>154199453I feel like Star Anise got this one
>>154199466
>Lememe petting Dream CoreCute! Victory is certain!
>>154199475WITH THIS SUPER LUCKY 7 LEMEME LOSESALSO YOU BECOME BRICKED.
>>154199481The only you gonna get is a 4 (death)
With this 1 the least favorite will win.
>>154199466Just you wait until the opening animation. The JRA haven't updated anything since the early Heisei period.>>154199470Eh, it's a classic race, so anything can happen. I just hope Festival Hills place on the board.
weird that it's the 12th race, the big one is usually the 11th
>>154199484Kek, death to the Fukuposter it is
>>154199466Your glowstick bro?
>>154199492anon?
>>154199492It’s paddock, not the race itself
>>154199492it's the 11r, this 12r is the final one
Are (you) a bad enough trainer to use a female uma for the Oka Sho?
>>154199499nevermind I'm retarded, the stream was just showing off the next one
>>154199506Yes, I will use Wodka and win (as she should)
>>154199506
>>154199506ENTER
Fanfare!

Wtf the graphic wasn't so bad this time.
SPERG ALERT SPERG ALERT
TROUBLE
What happened?!
Marebros.....we got too cocky....
Did horse freak out? I didn't see anything... wait never mind one is bucking hard.
>she’s literally going yada yada Amazing
Lily Joie went out of control in the gate so now they have to check her condition and delay the race.
>Rushed!
What we have here…is a failure to communicate!
them mares be wildin
That guy in suit is the vet?
>>154199568Mares kinda just behave like that.
Are they checking 13's condition? If they want to do that they should trot it out. A walk isn't very good checking for lameness.
She got moved to the outer gate.
Take 2
The nip has been re-raised.
>Lily spergs out and breaks the gear so they have to make sure she didn't fuck her body upGreat start.
Of course its jungle pockets daughter.

That Alankar manFucking amazing accel
>>154199622Garavogue ended 2nd in bothwe're seeing uma lore being written in real time
>>154199625Beautiful final spurt, and she got her first tiara. I wonder if her team will try to make her go to the oaks or give her time to rest
That was a truly amazing race, the sheer power of these creatures never ceases to amaze me.
That was fun, time to go back to our containment board. See you horsechads next time.
/vm/ is where the /v/ uma musume players went if you guys or others need to know where they went.
>>154199470>>154199625As expected of our broke dacchi!
See you in the Satsuki Sho next week bros, that was a very fun race!https://en.netkeiba.com/race/special.html?id=0045

>>154199695>random /v/ threadsThey were banished to /vm/.
>>154199695We got kicked out of /v/, /vg/ is cancer and /vmg/ has their own small community we didn't want to eclipse
If anyone's into the John Umamusume meme, Shin Believe, another hors own by Fujita is running the Umeda Stakes (Hanshin 12R) in 25 minutes (16:30JST)>>154199699Well, I'm just glad they found a permanent home instead of having to constantly dodge the jannies.
>>154199695Wait until you heard the saga of the Umaroaches
>>154199695Tl dr on the /v/ incident, Uma got semi-banned off of /v/ because after a year of it being the biggest thread in the board, the mods put their foot down and told us we were too big for the board and to find somewhere else. We have a different culture than /vg/ and if we all migrated there the thread would be uncomfortably fast, so we moved to /vm/ since /vmg/ has their own community too.
>>154199714Nice! Will be tuning into it
any sites similar to keiba for US horses? i want to check out theirs before Kentucky Derby>>154199727how do you describe the culture? i know /umaJP/ follows the races a lot more, not too sure about others aside from /uma/ having too many schizos
>>154199803/v/ plays the game. Some dacchis are occasionally on /v/ too. /v/ma almost always be the fastest thread if it doesn't get deleted. Every CMs we make a room to decide who is the q/v/een of that CM. Almost every G1s even outside JP we also do reenactment races.Not all /v/ma follows keiba, but everytime it get posted people will talk about it too.
>>154183731Why is she famous with horse posting.
Holy shit Double Joke what the hell? Good shit
>>154199282based
>>154199803/v/ma is just autistically on topic about number crunching and has some differences in thread in jokes and traditions.
