Horses can be scratched (removed) from a race for a number of reasons. These are some general reasons for a horse to be scratched as well the the indivdual (usually) responsible for each type Scratched by the veterinarian for illness, lameness etc. Scratched by the stewards for procedural issues or violations. They can also scratch horses before they enter the starting gate for perceived lameness. Scratched by the trainer for issues like the race was moved from the turf to the dirt. Trainers will also sometimes enter horses in multiple races to optimize their chance of getting into a race...if the horse gets into both races the trainer usually scratches the horse from one or the other.
When a horse is scratched, the horses in the race do not physically shift towards the rail. The remaining horses maintain their positions in the starting gate and continue to run the race as usual.
* A horse that loves you would absolutely love a scratch. * A horse loves a scratch on the nose or on the shoulder. * When I had a horse as a teenager, she loved a good scratch around the ears. My step-father's horse, however, loved to be scratched under the chin. * horses also love to be scratched aroud the rump if they are happy being scratched there they will lean over toward you * Horses naturally interact as friends by scratching each other on the shoulder/whithers, so it tells your horse that you are friends. * It's also good to scratch around where you put on the bridle because that will sort of get your horse used to wearing it * very true answers but me and my mum have many horses and our most recent loves to be scratched by the hind leg- where the skin changes direction * My horse absoloutly LOVES to be scratched behind the ears, under her mane, and under her chin. ( Becareful some horses my not like the chin and can bite.) * Well it depends on the horse. For instance One of the horses at my barn loves to be scratched on his neck but another horse there tries to bite me if i scratch his neck.
The wager is usually returned to the bettor...
some like to be scratched behind the ears but not all.Always remember to scratch gently
Ok most people take this behavior in a horse the wrong way. Usually people will say that it is gonna try to kick you or it doesnt like you behind it. But some horses I have noticed like the top of their rump scratched, and by backing up to you they are just telling you that they have an itch. But it depends on the horse.
you just like the attention. if you want to be scratched,just ask!!!
