Horse-Racing on Flat Land
  Flat land horse racing is one of the mainstream competitions in the world, and later types of competitions will appear in most countries in the world that develop horse racing. Usually the race distance is from 1000 meters to 2400 meters, but there will be longer and short races. The International Horse Racing Federation classifies five types according to the SMILE system.
The site consists of the most common grassland and mud events in North America as the mainstream. In addition, there are also all-weather runways that have been artificially modified to resemble mud. And there are also sand games with fiber sand.

Jump hurdles
  Hurdle jumping is a race that requires the owner to skip a specified number of hurdles. This event also developed in the UK and expanded to the world. The distance is usually farther than a flat race, and the shortest race is already over 2000 meters. The venue is similar to flat horse racing, and the main competition is grass. In addition, because the horse jumps the hurdle, if the footwork is not suitable, it is easy to be injured when jumping, and the horse will be destroyed humanely.

Carriage race
  Horse-drawn carriage races became popular in the nineteenth century. In most countries such as continental Europe (excluding the United Kingdom and Ireland), horse-drawn carriages are regarded as mainstream races, and their popularity is higher than flat horse races. The horses used are standard race horses (ancestors are Thoroughbred horses), the grounds are mostly mud, and the distance is about one to two miles.

other
  Around the world, there are endurance horse races that are longer than flat races and are one of the competitions of the International Equestrian Federation. In addition to using thoroughbred horses, Arabian horses mixed with thoroughbred horses and even thoroughbred Arabian horses will be used for competition.

Horse racing around the world

Horse racing in North America
  In the United States, thoroughbred races are generally held on flat dirt roads or grass; other racetracks hold quarter-mile horse racing, horse racing, or a combination of these three types. Competitions with other breeds of horses, such as Arabian horses, are relatively rare. Thoroughbred races in the United States have a variety of distances, the most common is from 4.5 Hualang (905 meters) to 1.5 miles (2414 meters); according to this situation, breeders of thoroughbred races can raise horses Make it win in a certain distance.

The traditional hot spot for horse racing in the United States is the Kentucky Derby. Together with the Pride and Baymont trophies, they form the three-year-old American triple crown. However, in recent years, the Breeders’ Cup held at the end of the year challenged the triple crown competition at the beginning of the year and became the decision maker of the 3-year-old horse race champion. They also have an important influence on the selection of other annual champions.

The corresponding standard horse racing competition is the horse breeding championship. There are also three horse racing titles against Pacers and Trotters.

Horse betting in the United States is recognized and managed by the state government. It has almost always been legally recognized betting. In the American thoroughbred races, horses, jockeys and trainers have their own hall of fame.

When horse racing enthusiasts and the media focus on the horse’s performance, the male stallion, or its success as a male without exception, they pay little attention to the breeding mare. Take the example of La Troienne. She is one of the most important mares of the 20th century. Many of the greatest thoroughbred champions and champions’ ancestors are related to her.

The most famous horse from Canada is the Northland dancer and his son Nizhnsky who went on to become the most successful thoroughbred stallion after winning the Kentucky Derby and Prikones Prize Race. In Canada, horse racing is a more popular horse racing sport than thoroughbred races. In Toronto, the Queen’s Day Racecourse, the main thoroughbred race in Canada, and the North American Cup, the main Canadian horse-racing race, are the only racetracks in North America. Thoroughbred horses and racecar races are held at the same Staged in the sky. Among all the horse racing races in Canada, the North American Cup has the highest prize money.

By the 1960s, the use of thoroughbred horses was uniformly prescribed.

Lighting Standard of Equestrian Court

The size of the arena

According to experts, the minimum size of an ordinary racecourse should not be less than 18m in width, and the internal height ranges from 4.8m to 5.5m, until the ground reaches the highest point of the truss. The recommended racecourse dimensions are as follows: width 24m x length 60m, width 18m x 36m.

The rider’s line of sight is usually between 2m and 2.5m above ground level, and it may increase significantly when jumping. This should be considered when determining the installation height of the lights, and the light poles should be placed symmetrically around the stadium.

Installation height of lamps in the racecourse

If you want to participate in group riding or training, it is recommended to use a longer indoor sports field. On a covered racetrack, the most common height is 5 meters. But for jumping, we usually recommend an additional 60 cm, or 5.4 meters.

What is the recommended lighting level for the outdoor riding arena?

The choice and location of lighting depends on the size and purpose of the racecourse. The lighting standards for private racecourses are recommended to be distinguished from those for commercial racecourses. Lumens is a measure of light output and can provide you with information about the perceived brightness in a space. On average, private stage lighting is 315 or rounded to 330 lumens per square meter. In commercial racecourses, the average illumination has jumped to more than 550 lumens per square meter. These suggestions come from our colleagues who are not lighting experts. Please consult lighting experts based on the size of your arena to further answer your questions.
