[grizzal]

our 1st trainer is 10 miles,and after that i take them

where ever im working

[blaz]

my 1st trainer is from 10 mile y/b or o/b .don,t have that many just enough to get their wee brains switched on again.as i think birds should be getting fit flying round house.it is also along season for the best of them.

Judgeing by what has been said not a lot of training done before first race doesnt anyone think this not enough

I personally think that the birds need a lot of training before they race because after breeding e.t.c. i find birds get lazy and dont exercise enough

bryan i dont think the old birds need as much training as the young birds pal . if they are exercising well round the loft there is no need to train as much jmo .

2nd 10 Miles

That's it for now.

I,ll be giving mine a wee refresher from over the forth just to get them in the right frame of mind. Then i,ll be putting them away with the training trailer 3 times before the first race then once a week thereafter.

i proberly don,t train enough before 1st O/B race as never seem to win it.

i have my reasons like a few other fanciers.

1 if O/B cant come home from 70 80 mile in a couple of hours then it is not much good any way

2 tranning alot at anytime means your birds get stressed alot more through getting caught in loft and put in basket.that not long after the stresses and strains of breeding.

3 tranning alot you run your birds through the gauntlet of predators more.

4 some of us aim to do well or our best at the later end of season not the start.

 

only 4 of my reasons
