One of the more hidden motifs in the novella The Awakening by Kate Chopin is horses. Horses are specifically mentioned in only two chapters, but they are a part of one of the bigger themes. The Awakening is about Edna moving away from society and galloping in her own track. Being from Kentucky she knows the ups and downs of the races, her expertise is even more than some men. At the races she is brought to the same level as men, who have the freedom to do what they like without society guiding them. “There were possibly a few track men out there who knew the race horse as well as Edna but there certainly none who knew it better.” Edna is highly respected at the races, which isn’t something she normally gets from men she isn’t well acquainted…

Assessing the body condition score (BCS) of a horse is needed in order to evaluate the physical health of the horse. The ideal BCS of many horses is between a 5 and 6, while a thoroughbred in the racing industry has an ideal BCS of a 4. While the BCS of a horse is a good way to determine the overall body condition of a horse, it does not tell whether or not the horse is getting the required nutrients in the appropriate amounts. The required nutrients can be calculated into the horse’s diet based…
I have worked at a scout camp for three summers, and every time I worked with the horses. Over those three summers, I have learned a lot about horses, their behaviors, and their reactions to various riders. To sum up what I have learned, when you show your horse that you care for it, they will pay you back several times over. My first excperience with this was late in my first summer. I was assigned a horse named Stumpy. Stumpy had been in an accident that left his tail short and seeded in…
