Throughout history, horses have played an important role in human life. These animals, which are mostly used as livestock, have been useful in many areas from agriculture to trade, from hunting to security. It has also taken its place among the criteria that determine the strength of the army in wars. Horses also have an important place in Turkish culture and history. Throughout the ages, in Turkish communities, horses, women and weapons have been indispensable for a brave man. These three important elements, which are indispensable and cannot even be entrusted, are equated with the concept of honor. “The horse neighs according to its owner.” “The one who rides a horse, the one who wears a sword.” “The horse is the companion of the brave.” “There is no time for a horseman.” I would like to remind you of our essence statements such as. "Did you know that Turkish khans were buried with their horses?" If I ask the question, I can guess that I will get two-choice answers from you. For myself, I can say that I came across this information while preparing my article. These animals, with their noble appearance, strong and emotional nature, have also been a source of inspiration for poets and painters. Horses have been frequent guests of photographers' cameras and have even taken their place in fairy tales. Today, equestrianism continues to develop as an important sport. We can say that its activities in this field are carried out in two veins. Turkish Equestrian Federation and Turkish Jockey Club carry out modern equestrian activities. The Federation of Traditional Sports and the municipalities it cooperates with carry out traditional equestrian activities. We can give examples of these activities: Rahvan horseback riding, Sleigh, Gökbörü and Horse archery. Rahvan foal breeding is done in our country. In this context, I would like to share with you the information that there are nearly 1500 mares and 1000 active horses participating in competitions. At the same time, it can be said that we are assertive in breeding purebred Arabian horses. All activities in this field are carried out by TİGEM (General Directorate of Agricultural Enterprises). Horse breeding is carried out in Anadolu, Sultansuyu and Karacabey enterprises with 12 sires and 49 main bloodlines. The information that there are 1281 registered horses in these enterprises, according to March 2020 data, may be useful to you in the decision stage. The largest share of investments in the equestrian sector is allocated to racehorse training. Legal regulations for the training of racehorses have revealed the need for qualified personnel in this field. Equine Breeding and Training (Vocational School) is an associate degree department opened to train academically trained personnel for the sector. If you are going to use your preference in this direction, I recommend that you research the characteristics of horses and review your own personality traits. What is the Department of Equine Breeding and Training (Vocational School)? Equine Breeding and Training (Vocational School) is an associate degree program that accepts students with the TYT exam and offers a two-year education opportunity. It has started to attract attention in recent years. Those who successfully complete the training receive the title of horse trainer. High schools providing education in this field provide their students with all kinds of basic knowledge about horsemanship, horse care, first-degree horsemanship and coaching at European standards. Graduates work to maximize the horse's current potential from birth to the end of their racing lives. It would be beneficial for students who choose this department to decide after reviewing the horses and their own personality traits. We must not forget that one of the ways to achieve goals is research and analysis. In the equestrian industry, where competition is high, loving animals and especially horses will give you an advantage. We can say that patience, compassion, determination, technical working skills, high concentration, as well as being approachable and sincere will determine your success. It would also be beneficial for you to examine the nature of horses carefully. At this point, I think the following information will be useful to you. Horses have the instinct to live in a herd, and it is necessary to carefully observe their roles among other horses. Their sense of curiosity and discovery is high. They panic easily, and when they panic, they shut down emotional communication. Every horse's personality and emotional structure is different. To understand, eye, ear and tail movements must be observed carefully. It should be noted that horses can be aggressive by nature. Standing behind the horse can be dangerous. Especially the left side should be preferred. Those who have no experience of village life may have difficulty at the beginning of education. You may find the smell in horse care, digging and shovelling, and the work environment strange. There is a compulsory internship in Horse Breeding and Coaching education. In order to minimize the factors of work accidents in internship practices, it is necessary to comply with Occupational Health and Safety rules and use occupational safety equipment. To elaborate on the subject: It is important that you wear comfortable and suitable clothes, boots of sufficient length or sneakers with non-slip soles. You should definitely wear a helmet while riding and use leather or leather-reinforced gloves in winter conditions.
