Horse slaughter

MULESING Mulesing is the act of cutting off extra skin around the bottom of a sheep. It is completed by many sheep farmers in Australia in order to lower the chance of their sheep getting fly struck. When a sheep gets fly struck it means that they have had flies lay eggs around their bottom because it was not clean. The maggots then hatch from the eggs and eat the sheep from inside to out. Many people believe that the act of mulesing is barbaric, animal cruelty and should be banned across…

Hoof Print I have been around horses ever since I can remember because my mom loves horses. I took lessons every week to become a better rider with my horse, “Poe.” Carol, my new instructor (appositive), told me to try to not use stirrups when riding him. We started off walking around the ring without any stirrups, which was easy, so she told me to pick up a trot and move faster. I did that, but what happened was the stirrups ended up bumping Poe in the side, which made him think that I was…

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…

riding one of the regular horses, my instructor had me scheduled to ride a thoroughbred named Storm. This horse was still green and had not been fully trained on how to do much except race. Sure enough I got Storm groomed and tacked up despite his constant pacing and weaving. The both of us headed up towards the arena to begin our lesson. Getting used to a certain temperament of a horse can be a good thing, as well as a bad thing. If you get used to a more laid back horse, when you switch to an…

The horse needs to have a flat topline, this means the horse's head and neck to be in a straight line with his back and hips ,so that when he runs he appears balanced and his movements look smooth with his head lowered not generally raised above his shoulder. The next maneuver a rundown takes place when a horse goes in…

changed, Secretariat opened up my eyes to the history of our world and the horse racing industry. (2)(play part of the race) (3)Secretariat was a horse that defied all odds to be the first horse in 25 years to win the triple crown race.

simply being and breathing. This is an opportunity never able to be seized once the afternoon rush of people start trickling in. There is not a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze rustles the leaves of the trees. I make my way towards the barn to see my horse before I head off to school. The old stable that sits in the center of the lot is a bright red that has faded from many years of sunshine and is coated in a thick layer of dirt. The paint is chipped and many of the boards sag like the…

First, it was a solely a pig farm, then a cow and pig farm, then a horse, cow, and pig farm, and lastly just a horse farm; we had horses for the majority of my life, about seven years. Many things happened on that farm. When it was a horse farm, we would keep retired race horses there kind of as a retirement home if you will, and we would keep race horses that were being trained and were on a break, so to speak. Pregnant race horses would come to have their babies, where we would raise them…
