Horse training

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…

The painting by Kehinde Wiley, Officer of Hussars, shows a black man in contemporary clothing on a horse in a deserted battlefield. At first glance the modern day man appears stuck in time because of his pose, and background. Kehinde Wiley’s Officer of Hussars appears just like another painting made in 1812 by Théodore Géricault named Charging Chasseur. As said in an interview with Audie Cornish, Kehinde Wiley’s style takes historical paintings and puts a subject he finds off the street in the…

“Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” - John Wayne I had been riding and practicing almost every day during the summer, getting ready to perform at Scioto County’s 4-H Western Horse Show on Wednesday during fair week. My 4-H group members were supportive and enjoyed me being their secretary. My mom and sisters were major characters in my story. My passion for riding grew deeply in the show ring that day. The first show I performed in was the Fun Show on Sunday which starts…

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…

communication relatively hard, as well as expressing emotions. Grandin did not speak until she was almost five, making any form of communication and understanding come from temper tantrums (Maria). Then, when she reached high school Temple began working with horses, 9 to be specific.…

The story of the west has never been told from the heart of a horse rather than the saddle of one until now. Spirit (Matt Damon) is your average horse that becomes leader of his herd to guard and protect. His curiosity gets the better of him in trouble multiple times when he is captured by the white settlers twice determined to civilize the west. Throughout his attempts to escape the settlers, Spirit makes a friend, a Native American named, Little Creek (Daniel Studi), who helps him escape…

bring. I owned a horse named Nevaeh that year. She was very naughty and we travel all over to do shows for people. It’s very embarrassing when your horse starts bucking in front of a crowd of people. So Kelly, my horse instructor, or in other words a close friend, decided it was time for a change. She brought Jaelyn and I to a place in Volga, Iowa called Katy’s Corral. Katy runs the place and buys and sells horses. I knew why Kelly brought us here. It was to sell Nevaeh or get a new horse, but I…

two dimensions, and there is no any depth to the painting, exactly as how the geometric patterns are painted. Looking more closely, you will find that the horses on the amphora are in profile view, but all their four legs are shown as the horse legs are shown on the krater, which both are for the purpose of showing more clearly that they are horses and have four legs. For the same reason, the water birds are painted in profile view but with both legs shown. Also, both of the vessels are painted…

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…

known for the uniquely beautiful garden in the middle of the city to escape from the loud and busy city streets. Horse carriages have been a traditional way of transportation for people to get around the city or central park and are ranked 5th out of 155 top activities to do in New York City. However, Bill Blasio, mayor of New York City, pledged that one of his first acts would be to ban horse carriages considering them to be abusive and inhuman to the animals. In our time, we use animals in…
