This could be stopped by putting a law in place so that drivers have to take consideration and pass slowly and widely which could reduce the amount of injuries happening to horses and riders when riding on the road. Many riders have no choice whether to cross the road or not, some may have to cross the road to…

Horses have been around since almost the beginning of time. At first they were just wild animals roaming the land, but eventually humans started to domesticate them and use them for different tasks. Before cars, trucks and trains were invented, the horse was the only mode of transportation.

It allowed the meat to cook longer at a higher temperature to kill all the bacteria that could be present, and helped boil…
