I. Envision this: A little girl and her mother leave the mall after shopping. The girl is very bored after spending hours watching her mother shop for gifts and being told she couldn’t have this or that. As they are driving home, the little girl sees a sign with paw prints and an arrow and her eyes light up. Ok, so it’s not a candy store or an ice cream shop. But it’s the next best thing, that’s right, our local animal shelter. Instantly the girl’s boredom fades, and she begs her mom to turn…

English Foxhound The English foxhound is of compelling form, with extensive bone. The measure of bone at the lower leg is considered particularly imperative. This fabricate, alongside nearly straight angulation of the smothers, favors stamina over rate. The rich, profound voice is prized for the chase. Numerous English foxhounds have "adjusted" ears, in which around 1 " are surgically expelled from the end of the ear. Customarily a pack dog, the English foxhound in any case makes a stately…

narrow in the chest. The reason King has a bigger body is because he’s older than Finn, he’s a different breed, and he is a gelding not a colt. King is 17-year-old quarter horse who was cut when he was only a year old. Finn is a year and a half old thoroughbred that hasn’t been cut yet. Finn will get cut when he reaches the age of two, and has defined some muscle. Finn has a small body, but will define muscle once he starts his training. Both horses are 15.1 hands high or 60.4 inches tall right…

Percherons and Quarter Horses have many similarities and differences between the two of them. Several similarities they have are shared colors, a couple of skills and couple of conformation points. Though there are quite a few similarities, there are arguably copious more differences. A few differences between Percherons and Quarter Horses are the amount of tasks they can perform, their weight and cost of upkeep and the amount of coat colors. Quarter Horses are better than Percherons because of…

Horse racing has been in the eyes of the public for many years. How could it not be, with how much publicity surrounding it, much like football or baseball in the United States. Some of this publicity is good, with impressive feats such as the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years garnering an international audience. However, publicity can also be bad with animal rights activists (people who believe animals should live free unrestricted by humans and not used for food, clothes, sport, etc.)…

helped me gain experience. I started horseback riding around age 5. I didn’t start riding because my parents rode or my friends rode. I just loved horses, and I couldn’t find a sport to stick with. 10 years later, I happily own an Off-the-Track Thoroughbred, who I take to events. I have owned my horse for about 3 years and when I first bought him, he knew basic stuff, but wasn’t proficient in any skills that he needed to compete. I got into therapeutic riding when my previous…

If two horses were standing next to each other and were completely identical, except for a tiny white marking on one horse’s side, you would likely make the assumption that they were worth similar amounts of money. However, this is typically not the case in the Paint Horse industry. Due to rules put into place by the American Paint Horse Association, or APHA, only two square inches of white coloring can change the value of a horse dramatically. Solid Paint Breds, or horses that do not have two…

Values of early colonists didn’t approve of recreational or pleasurable events. For example, in early New England, recreational activities as well as sports were banned. One puritan principle that explains the banning was that they didn’t have time to partake in these activities due to their continued growth of improving their morals through spiritual espionage. Furthermore, Learning and working were placed in much higher regard than anything involving pleasure. There was no time in early…

As a sport, historically, Formula 1 has always been one of decadence and like its most famous circuit, the Circuit de Monaco, a thing of extravagance. Something that’s always held an almost elitist of fascinations. It is a proud sport, a rich sport but it is also in a patch of rapid, meteorical decline. It is more than just surprising that in a day and age where technological advancement are the cornerstone of what drives a population that a sport which functions on the cutting edge of…

Upon hearing the name MC Hammer, most people imagine a young man dancing around in loose pants with an abundance of energy and catchy lyrics in the background.
