American Quarter Horse

I was searching through Facebook one day when I first laid eyes on the horse of my dreams. The horse I had been dreaming about since I was a little girl. He was a chestnut with a huge white blaze and four white socks; in my eyes he was perfect. That day I made an appointment with the off the track thoroughbred rescue race horse reclaim to go and meet him. My mom took off work to accompany my hasty decision making. When we arrived all she saw was everything wrong with him. His tail had been cut…

I have spent most of my life surrounded by horses, cows, and goats. I have been stepped on, thrown off horses, penned up against gates, had surgery, traveled to different states, I am even on TV and have more pieces of flesh missing from my legs than I care to remember. It is just how rodeo is there are risks every time someone steps into the rodeo arena. I have many all-around titles and various awards from rodeo. I also have my own personal trainer that I go to, to help me with competing. I…

you see. Anyway, as he lumbered down the road, the Horseman sprang out of the trees on the back of his majestic black horse! Then with one clean swipe, the Horseman had chopped off the head of that unlucky Jeremy,” exclaimed Brom. Ichabod began to shiver as his hands became…

Sorry that it has been so long! I haven’t written much since we have met three Cowboys! If I want to be tough I can’t be writing in a diary because it looks suspicious and girly. The Cowboys have lost a bet so now we are tagalongs until we reach Fort Kearny, which we are approaching faster than I thought. Annamae and I are now going by Sam and Andy, since those are practical boy names, however, it is incredibly harder acting like one. A great deal has happened lately, we have stopped a stampede,…

have served as weapons, transportation, recreation, and also as pets. Horses were first brought to America in the early 1500s by Hernando Cortez. Before that, no Native had ever laid eyes on this four legged creature. From being used to fight off natives, to being ridden at a carnival by little kids, the horse has definitely evolved to suit the needs of the changing America. The person who had the biggest effect on the horse industry in America was Henry Ford. When the first assembly line was…

Regional Horse Association spent two hours arguing about riders seventeen and under riding stallions at horse shows, or any SCRHA event. There is two different sides to this argument, one side agrees that juveniles should not be allowed to ride a stallion at any SCRHA event due to liability and safety of other riders. The second side, which is the side I strongly agree with, is that no matter the age, riding a stallion is always a chance you have to be willing to take. In fact, riding any horse…

About 2,000 years ago the Sarmatians designed the first part of the saddle, the tree, which is known as the base. The saddle was designed to give comfort and support to the rider and the horse. While riding a horse, one of the most important parts is the saddle, that's why it is important to have a well made saddle. First it all starts with the cutting of the pieces, which is crucial. “We use a right and left hide that has been gauged for the same thickness. Each part of the saddle has a…

the rocky road looking around, watching people’s actions, watching slaves work hard, watching women carry babies and holding their children’s hands. Kids leather shoes, clapping against the road, with laughter coming from their mouths. Dogs barking, horses pulling away from their coaches. Everything is so busy and loud. You can barely hear yourself think. Shouts come from a small house across the road. “You stupid Loyalists! The King is taking control…

As far as I can remember, I have always been strongly drawn to horses, just like a moth to a flame. It seems that this deep passion can be found directly in my blood. Maybe I have inherited some kind of a genomic proclivity toward the equine species. As a future veterinarian, it’s indisputable that my love and respect of horses and all living creatures, explain my revulsion and hatred toward animal cruelty, whether it be neglect or intentional. It is a dishonour that millions of animals, placed…

Becoming a knight is not an easy task, and for some people it is impossible because of the family they were born into. A typical knight must be of noble birth, brave, and first be a squire. However, in some cases people do not follow the tradition path to knighthood. This can be seen with William Thatcher and Don Quixote. Unrealistic traits and factors on the journey in becoming a knight can be seen in both A Knight’s Tale and Don Quixote, but the way the characters deal with these obstacles…
