Predicting how races will go is hard enough already without you missing out on the best odds and horse racing promotions

Thankfully modern technology is here to help, so that rather than you flailing around in the online ether searching for what you need, we can take you straight to the horsey good stuff.

Here are the online resources that no dedicated equestrian can do without.

Comparison Websites Go the Extra Furlong

For horse racing fans, there are no end of online sources of information offered by tipsters and self-proclaimed experts, but finding a consistently reliable resource can be tricky.

However, there is now a comparison website which, as well as compiling all the horse racing betting deals you would expect, also goes the extra furlong to provide up-to-date information about upcoming events like the Grand National or the Epsom Derby. This means that horse racing fanatics are only a click or screen tap away from having all the pre-race info and offers that they need.

Some online resources will have the special long nose in your life, leaving you feeling particularly well-cared for

Horse Welfare Apps for Your VIH (Very Important Horse)

There was a time when the only way an amateur horse owner could check on their beloved animal was to call up the stable hand and ask them to stick their head round the stable door.

That is a thing of the past now, because horse welfare apps like Equilab and Barn Manager allow an owner to track everything from a horse's water intake to whether they had a restful night's sleep.

This comes in handy not only to monitor general health, but also if you want to know whether your horse is in good enough shape to be transported a long distance, or put through their paces on a grueling cross-country hack.

The Host for Most Major UK Race Meets

The Jockey Club are the organization who run many of the UK's top horse racing events. Their website is a fountain of useful information, whether you are planning to visit a race day in person or watch all the action elsewhere.

If you want to know which restaurant to book a meal in at the Aintree Grand National, or wish to read up on the history of a festival like the Epsom Derby, The Jockey Club's official website is a treasure trove of insightful and useful equine content.
