By Angela Roe, Freelance Writer Choose high quality horse racing supplies. Suppliers of race horsing equipment can provide you with a wide variety of items, from basic training aids to horse racing safety equipment. Note, though, that the quality of the horse racing equipment you purchase will have a profound impact on the results you'll see.

Cultivate business relationships with suppliers of race horsing gear that are well regarded in the horse racing industry. By forming a long-term relationship with reputable suppliers of race horsing equipment, you can create a partnership that will help both of you succeed.

1. Locate a company that has specifically designed race horse feed.

2. Deal with a horse racing equipment company who has a wide array of tack available.

3. Search for race horse gear designed for safety and longevity.

Find horse racing supplies that include race horse feed products

Race horses have specific dietary needs that must be met in order for them to stay healthy and reach their maximum potential. Select a company that has a feed program designed to meet the needs of your athlete.
Try:  Nutrena not only offers race horse feed, but they'll also help you determine how much you should be feeding your race horses. TDI Horse Feeds offers a variety of race horse feed as well as feed designed for the other horses in your stable.

Select a variety of tack as a part of your equipment for race horsing

Talk to the people who provide you with your horse racing supplies to see what tack they offer. Make sure the tack is specifically for race horses and discuss the variety of tack they have available. The more stock they have, the more likely you are to find the tack you need.
Try:  Forest Hill Farms has specially designed race horse gear including tack. Wilson's Tack and Veterinary Supplies has a large catalog of tack supplies available for your race horse.

Make horse racing safety equipment a priority

Evaluate safety equipment for race horses and for the jockeys who ride them. Discuss your options with various suppliers regarding safety standards and the horse racing gear designed to meet those standards.
Try:  Old Mill Saddlery can meet all of your safety equipment for race horsing with an eye toward variety. Bonnetts Saddlery has a large selection of horse racing safety equipment including toe stops, helmets and safety vests to keep your jockeys safe and in the saddle.

• When you purchase a race horse, talk to the sellers regarding any horse racing equipment for sale. They may have equipment designed for that specific horse that they're willing to include with the purchase.
