Arabian horse

interested me that I found was that the Arabian horse is the oldest purest horses alive. As the Arabian Horse Association (2016) points out “Bedouin tribes zealously maintained the purity of the breed. Because of their limited resources, breeding practices were extremely selective.” Basically this is stating that the Bedouin people were very strict about how they breed the Arabians and how the Arabians have kept their purity for such a long time due to the strict breeding process. In addition Scottsdale Show (2011) points out “Written documentation from more than 3000 years ago verifies that the Arabian horse is essentially the same today as it was then.” This quote tells us that there is written proof that the Arabian…

If two horses were standing next to each other and were completely identical, except for a tiny white marking on one horse’s side, you would likely make the assumption that they were worth similar amounts of money. However, this is typically not the case in the Paint Horse industry. Due to rules put into place by the American Paint Horse Association, or APHA, only two square inches of white coloring can change the value of a horse dramatically. Solid Paint Breds, or horses that do not have two…

Would you like to learn about barrel racing? So, barrel racing has no judges, which means it depends on time. Barrel racing is a graceful, and simplistic event when one woman goes around three barrels as quickly as possible in a clover leaf pattern. Ride quickly and win, hesitate and lose. The horse not only must be swift but it has to be intelligent enough to get around the barrel without tipping them. The horse must be able to withstand the long roads a every person has to go to get to the…

Before Brayden arrived to pick me up, I worked both of the horses for a hour each. Afterwards, I bushed them and turned them out to the field for the day. They deserved a day off relaxing and grazing under the sun. Before turning them loose to their own devices, I spray them down with fly spray on and slip their fly masks on. Both horses trot around the field before settling down to graze. I watch them for a few moments before returning to the cabin. Tomorrow was the big day. My performance in…

Horses have always been my passion from barrel racing and rescuing horses to wanting to become an Equine Vet. At age five I was barrel racing my Shetland pony.

Barrel racing is any little cowgirls dream and I was lucky enough to be able to do so. My passion started early. At the age of five my uncle bought me a Shetland pony named Peanut. Every weekend we were at the show. I…

Feel the rise and descend of your green colored horse. All around you horses gallop on this fast and blurry course. Mirrors, clowns, flashing colored lights, whirling and twirling, what chaotic sights. Round and round, when does it end? Life is a journey full of trips. Some trips are cyclical like an amusement park ride who’s speed and momentum we cannot control. They are seemingly spinning out of control filled with dizzying distractions that prevent us from enjoying the ride and knowing how to…

In today’s society, many people see horses as these beautiful and majestic creatures, but what they don’t really see is the different purposes that these animals have to do on a daily basis. Some are used as either studs or broodmares, some are used to race, some are used to work in the fields, some are used to show, and many are used just for pleasure. Thoroughbreds and Clydesdales are the perfect examples to show the different tasks that horses are bred to do. Thoroughbreds originated in…
