The Thesis inquires into comparing the ways of training of English Thoroughbred race horses. The monitored race horses were stabled in the racing centre Luka racing in the South of Bohemia. I monitored 16 race horses; the horses were divided into four groups of four horses. The horses were trained for racing in various distances: the short-distances, the middle-distances, the long-distances and in the steeplechase races. The individual horses were monitored throughout the year. The object of the observation was focused on differences in training methods and on differences in activities used for the abovementioned groups of horses. I monitored the following activities: the frequency of using roundabouts in trainings, the length (in meters) of galloping activities and the length (in meters) of trotting activities in training units, the speed of galloping activities, and the use of paddocks for the passive recreation of the horses. The monitoring took part in three training periods: the transition period, the main period, and the recreation period. By close monitoring, it was found what differences there were in the quantity and quality of trainings of the different groups of horses. The most differences between groups of horses and between all the monitored parameters were found in the main training period. In the main period (when the horses were saddled with training and used in races the most) the average activity of gallop was 1,444.5 m for the short-distance horses; 1,259.4 m for the middle-distance horses; 1,705.4 m for the long-distance horses; 2,563.6 m for the steeplechase horses. Those figures correspond to the length of the races in which the groups of horses compete. The trotting activities of the horses in the main training period were also significantly differed. The short-distance horses did not use trotting activities in their trainings. The other groups of horses used trotting activities before performing their galloping activities. In average, the middle-distance horses covered 2,177.2 m in one training unit, the long-distance horses covered 2,714.3 m in one training unit and the steeplechase horses covered 3,513.87 m in one training unit. The smallest and statistically insignificant differences in the training of the individual groups of the horses were found during the transition period.
