Nikon D5100 bad sports photos INDOOR?

Recently got this camera (i have the kit lens and a 55-200, if that solves anything)
And i have a massive massive interest in horses, that's literally what the card will be full of, and i'm not impressed with any of the photos i've taken.
This is a fast moving sport/hobby in my mind so i cannot be standing around changing settings after every photo i've taken, i'll be missing the shots/

This is indoor, on sports mode (tried the pets mode, was worse) and the 'indoor' mode was laggy with a flash

It focuses perfectly on everything around it, but usually with a sports mode theres a moving focus green thing, which is usually there on other cameras

I tried changing the shutter speed to capture it quicker but the photo was pitch black.

This was with flash, because i got fustraited.

It may seem i have no idea what i'm on about but i'm new to this, and i just want to take some decent photos after paying SO much for it

Please dont just say "practice" because thats such a wide word meaning "turning the camera on and off properly"

I want to know what i'm doing wrong! Thanks!
Added (1). Thank you very much everybody.
Are there any lenses under £550 instead of a £3000 lens to help the shutter speeds?
