referring to the puppy and the horse (Clevver). This Budweiser commercial exemplifies the rhetorical value of media. Companies know they only have thirty to sixty seconds to make an impact on their viewers, and they have to devise ways to capture the attention of the audience. For example, Geico and Direct TV both use humor to captivate America. There is no better way to make the viewers feel warmer and happier than including an adorable puppy, an attractive man, and a stately horse. Budweiser…
Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. While most little girls were daydreaming of becoming a ballerina or a princess, I was dreaming of being a cowgirl. I started taking riding lessons when I was five years old and it’s something that I still absolutely adore. Being so young when I started, I’m honestly not sure how I managed to do much of anything with the horses, but what I do know is that I enjoyed every single second that I spent at the barn. The smell of horses…

Horses are subject to varying depictions in All the Pretty Horses. The most archaic portrayal is their representation as tools. To ranchers, horses are a necessity they use them to travel and herd cattle. Yet, horses are also pictured as having a basic emotional similarity as humans; they both experience the primitive emotion of fear. Although, McMurtry also portrays horses by their ability to escape fear when they are free. Simply put, horses may be a tool, but when analyzed critically they…
Native Americans and their culture have intrigued me from a young age. What drew me to them from the beginning was their mode of transportation. I grew up with horses and every year I would have a Native American birthday party. We would paint handprints on all of our horses and ride around with my cousins and friends. As I became older I watched Geronimo: An American Legend with my dad. I loved the thrill and the excitement in this movie. The Native Americans always fascinated me in the movie…
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…

My horseback riding trainer, Amy Scarlett, was so happy and motivational all the time. I had just moved to her barn last year and it had been nothing but great ever since. She thought i needed more trust in my pony and confidence in myself as a rider. I went to Gwyn Meadows Farm since late 2015 and last summer i was riding and she thought I didn’t put enough trust into it. We were all out in the ring after we warmed up and Amy set up the jumps. They were a lot bigger than I’m used to. Amy said…
Unwanted horses represent a subset of horses within the domestic equine population that are no longer needed, useful, or whose owners are no longer interested or capable of financially or physically caring for them (Messer et al, 2004). Most unwanted equines unable to be re-homed or sold will be sent to slaughter, euthanized, disposed of through rendering, or abandoned and left to die of natural causes (Messer et al, 2004). The global recession which commenced in 2008 has caused horses in many…
your horse, and you will need one once we start using the saddle. After your horse, has calmed down and is comfortable with the surcingle, and listening to your aids clearly, is saddling. You want to let your horse smell it and see it and be completely fine around it so that they don’t care about it at all. The first thing we will do is get another person to hold the horse so you can gently place the saddle on their back. For the saddle, you will want to use one that fits you and the horse…
