Milly's weight reduction program [01:01]
Milly is part of the Cyberhorse Hearts Racing Team. She is one of 13 thoroughbreds in the team. A 4yo mare, Milly has had too good a Spring from the point of view of the equine athlete. We have embarked on a serious weight reduction program for Milly which will see her lose 50kg over the next couple of months. We expect by that time she will be more like her older sister Mystera who won at Sandown and Morphettville before being retired earlier this year.

Cyclone doing basic dressage work on the arena [02:11]
Cyclone is one of 13 thoroughbreds in the Cyberhorse Hearts Racing team. Here he is shown doing some basic dressage work on the riding arena. Such work develops co-ordination and helps a horse to better carry a rider, especially around corners. A big part of the Hearts Racing team preparation for racing is to first be educated as a riding horse. Horses learn best what they learn first so if they are a good equestrian mount before they go racing they will never forget it.
