Horses in warfare

I go out to my barn. Who knew that on a warm Spring morning, little six year old me would witness one of my miniature horses giving birth. My mom grew up with horses. She would show them, ride them for fun, and overall just take pride in them. She’s a fanatic. Try to imagine a crazy cat lady, but with horses. That’s my mother. At the time, in 2003, we had 9 horses. A quarter horse, a pony, and 7 miniatures.…

Looking for a new horse can be quite a challenge for some people. Whether they’re looking for a performance horse, a trail horse, a companion, or a lawn ordainment it all depends on many different attributes. In my life I have rode quite a variety of horses. I was first trained in English riding where I showed in local horse shows and 4-H. Soon after I was trained to jump small jumps. I then moved on to western riding where I continued to show along the way. Along with western riding I did my…

lessons. The lessons were focused on the individual’s therapy and their horsemanship. The instructors set individual therapeutic and horsemanship goals for the participants. Each lesson followed the same routine of putting on a helmet, mounting the horse, riding activities, dismounting, grooming, and putting away all of the equipment (Gabriels et al., 2012). At the end of the 10-week program, the participants showed improvements in their irritability, lethargy, stereotype behavior,…

automobiles were not available and horses and railroads were the only means, transportation was a problem. Transportation by horses were expensive and hectic and by railroads was only for long-distances. This as a result it caused the people to have a social interaction problem. A visit to nearest town, five miles away, would had almost taken a day by horse. Moreover, skilled manpower was required to use the horse. Also, a significant amount of time too for the buggy setup and horse preparation.…

with the last $1000 he needed for school when he could not get a loan. However, growing up I lived in a community that did not allow livestock on our property but unfortunately I was a horse crazy child. Eventually my family got the opportunity to move to a small farm and I got to fulfill my dreams of owning a horse. What I did not realize, when we also acquired a few backyard chickens, was the love I would quickly develop for the care of…

thumbs day in and day out. When I was fifteen I decided that I wanted to try something different I wanted to get into the sport of riding bucking horses at a rodeo. The sport of riding bucking horses isn’t the most complex sport in the world but it is one of the toughest. The whole object of riding bucking horses is to see who could stay on the back of a horse for a full eight seconds without being bucked off, and ending up face down in the dirt below. It was the summer of 2014 I was going into…

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…
