American Quarter Horse

Although Crooks is just the stable hand on the farm, he is prideful and has dignity. Crooks grew up as a landowner with his father and it was not until later that he became a slave. This is likely the source of some of his pride. The harness room out near the barn was wear Crooks stayed. Since Crooks was at the farm longer than most people, he was able to collect more personal belongings. His collection of books was a sign of intelligence. At this time, not many people knew how to read. He took…

There’s no doubt in my mind that King & Country was a good horse. 16 starts, 11 wins, 1 place, and 3 shows is pretty respectable, among all crowds, not just here in-game. However, King & Country put even more in his offspring than he did on the track. Of 8 foals, all are winners, half have a 100% record, and he has 3 (and arguably 4) major competitors in Country Girls, Thee Wild Child, Pay Your Dues, and now maybe Catalyst. All together, they have 3 track records, though none still standing.…

Both early horse and modern horse have displayed a strong herd instinct to survive and reproduce . The modern horse has retained the same survival instincts , it will take flight (gallop away/bolt) if frightened . They maintain the same traits as a group of horse’s in a field or in the case of wild horse’s such as wild Mustang’s or Camargue horse’s. For example – if one horse takes flight the others will follow . If unable to take flight self-preservation instincts such as biting or kicking may…

Harold Dance was in the business of training and driving harness horses. He had several locations involved in his business. His uncle’s farm in New Egypt, New Jersey; where he trained the horses, the Freehold Raceway where he raced the horses and his home office at Freehold farm where he handles administrative duties and tended to horses that were there to recuperate. Dancer employed a secretary and someone to tend to the rehabilitating horses at his farm in Freehold, in addition to a…

which I loved the most when I lived in New York City was to go to horse races during the late spring and summer at Belmont Park in Long Island. There was something so exciting about it and I just love horses they are so wonderful. The biggest thrill was the Triple Crown which began with the Kentucky Derby in Kentucky, went on to the Preakness in Maryland and finally the Belmont Stakes in New York. I never put too much money on the horses but it was a thrilling thing to watch the races. Here are…

Fynta’s ribs ached when she leaned over the holotable. Jorgan had done his best to clean the wounds that Verin had given her before they returned to command. Still, Theron’s jaw dropped as soon as she entered the alcove, and Elara began digging through her medical kit. For some reason, they all looked to her to make the final decision on when and how to infiltrate the Revanite Compound. Fynta’s instinct was to charge straight in. They had killed Cinlat, her sister, and broken her brother. She…

I am honored to be able to tell you what really happened. Our intention wasn’t to kill nor hurt the goat kids in any way, shape, or form. By our I mean, Dylan, KJ, and me, Cole. KJ is our beloved brother who was killed by the evil goat mom. After KJ got out of jail for supposedly eating three little pigs, he reunited with Dylan and me; the only wolves left of our family. We were ecstatic to see him and wanted to have a party to extol his homecoming. All three of us made invitations to give…

that remains etched in their memory as they grow up. One of my clearest memories growing up is the first time I fell of a horse. I can still picture the scene in my head, starting with the horse spooking and running towards the fence, to the point where I fell off and could see the hooves right above my head. As a six-year-old child this fall should have scared me from riding a horse again, however it ended up having the opposite effect. It made me love this sport, and I was determined to…

magazine, 90 percent of Americans watch sports. Many of those people have participated in some sort of sport, sometime in their life. Chances are, those 90 percent of people are watching sports like football, baseball, soccer, and golf. What many people don’t know is that there are many different sports that include horses. Barrel racing and show jumping are two very different sports. They do share some similarities, though. The obvious one is that they both involve a horse, but there are many…
