Better Talk Now was a nearly black [2] gelding bred in Kentucky by Wimborne Farm. [3] His sire Talkin Man, the 1994 Canadian Champion Two-Year-Old Colt, was in turn sired by With Approval, the 1989 Canadian Triple Crown Champion and a Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame inductee. [4]
The turn on the haunches is usually performed as a turn that is 90 (quarter turn), 180 (half turn), or 360 degrees (full turn), although as a training movement to improve other work, the rider may adjust the number of steps as needed. Before asking for the movement, the horse should be forward and on the bit, maintaining rhythm and relaxation.
Tiznow (foaled March 12, 1997 in California) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for his wins in the Breeders' Cup Classic in 2000 and 2001, becoming the only horse to win this race twice. He was the 2000 American Horse of the Year and was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 2009.
He was sired by the British stallion Royal Charger, out of the French mare Source Sucree, whose sire, Admiral Drake, was third on the French sire list in 1949.. Imported to the United States of America as a yearling, Turn-to was bought at the Keeneland Sales for $20,000 (equivalent to $230,000 in 2023) to race for Capt. Harry F. Guggenheim's Cain Hoy Stable.
Turn on the forehand can only be of good quality if the horse is on the bit while maintaining clear walk steps in the 'lead up' to the halt that precedes the turn. In the halt he must be attentive, as if anticipating the rider's next commands. The only exception to this rule is for corrective purposes or if the horse is ready for collection.
Additionally, travers is a stepping stone to the more advanced half-pass, [1] and goes together with the turn on the haunches, which also asks the horse to move in the direction of bend. Renvers (haunches-out) is a good exercise to counteract the tendency of many horses to travel crookedly.
