Start Box Training – Part 1: The Start Box

Vicky and Bergþór “Beggi” Eggertsson have been very successful in many different disciplines and specialized particularly in pace disciplines. Now they will give you an insight into how they train their horses with start boxes, a tool used in the 150 m and 250 m pace races. It is a very different kind of training to train a pace horse compared to training a horse for oval track tests. In the first part of this series, Vicky and Beggi explain the function of a start box and what features a good start box should have.
