Trojan horse

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…

Zechariah’s visions begin with the sight of a horseman standing between two myrtle trees in a valley. Behind him were three horses of different color. When interpreted, the horseman is identified as the angel of the Lord, and the other horses are angels that search the earth. The discovery of these angels points to the purpose of the vision: the world was at peace because of God, and He would now utilize this peace to restore His people to a state of blessedness. Following a promise of…

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…
