One of the most enjoyable aspects of horse racing is watching these beautiful animals doing what they do best.. Horses have such beautiful gaits. The way they carry themselves when their strides are fully extended is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. There are four basic colors in the horse racing world: brown horses, bay horses, roan horses and black horses. Besides the color of the horse, it can also have specific markings. Common horse markings are known as socks (markings on the horse's lower legs), star (marking on the center of the race horse's head) and various other markings.

Horse racing is a very competitive sport. These horse pictures and horse racing videos will show you the magnificant horses in various positions before, during and after the race. In some of the racing footage, you will notice the champion race horses fully extended while racing. There are portions of the horse racing videos, where you'll see that the horses have, as part of their stride, all four legs off the ground. Imagine horses racing at speeds of 40 miles an hour with 130 pounds on their back while competing with other horses to win the horse race. What makes this sport so beautiful compared to other sports (football, baseball, basketball, hockey or golf) is that in no other sport is the athlete required to exert so much energy and effort for such a period of time. Below you will be able to enjoy free horse racing pictures or horse pictures along with free horse racing videos of some of the greatest champion horses or top race horses that have ever lived.
