# Training Tips
A horse’s vision before a jump is different to a human because their eyes are on the side of their head, giving both binocular vision and monocular vision as they gallop at jumps. The eye shape is elongated which changes the focal point when the head is lifted or flexed in. Understanding your horses view can help you train and compete better.
#OTT TIPS 1
A short introduction to training an Off-the-track Thoroughbred, OTT, using a systematic approach. The thoroughbred industry produces quality racehorses, after they finish on the track they can be repurposed for many rewarding careers including eventing, dressage, show jumping and pony club disciplines, as well as companion and therapy animals. As an experienced trainer of horses and riders I share a training base and offer lessons as an approved coach within the Racing Queensland OTT program to take care of thoroughbreds after racing.
