will seem like he is one with the horse. It looks so easy- all you have to do is just sit there, right? The rider can make the horse do anything that he pleases.

How to care for a horse: There is more than meets the eye “If you are fearful, a horse will back off. If you are calm and confident, it will come forward. For those who are often flattered or feared, the horse can be a welcome mirror of the best in human nature.” (Balding) The quote above, stated by Clare Balding, showers on us the insight of how powerful a horse can be. If a horse has the capability to show sincerity and remorse for a simple human, then it is only respectful to show the same…

List and evaluate alternatives. The alternatives to keeping horses calm without using a lip chain would be to either be more aggressive with the chain under the jaw or above the nose, or to drug them which is not a longer term solution rather and a quick fix at each show. 5) Select the best course of action. The best course of action is to stay with the chain under the jaw or over the nose. It can control a horse to an extent. The horses that need the lip chain will still act up, but they can…

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…

Horse slaughter is a large problem in the United States. There are no slaughterhouses in our country, but horses can still legally be sold at auction to a slaughterhouse in another country. Once sold to a slaughterhouse, the terrified horses are transported just across the border to be inhumanely killed. Why would an American want to send their horse to be killed in a different country when they can humanely and safely euthanize or sell them to a loving home? Many foreign countries eat horse…
