The clic-clack of the horses hooves die away as he walks in behind me and I can feel his warm breath on my elbow. This is what I wait for all week. I walk the horse into the center of the arena and start to warm up. We back up a few steps, I put pressure behind his shoulder so he steps one back leg over the other, and then I flip the rope…

A good diet is vital to the health and happiness of a horse and it ensures that they perform at their best. Horses are non-ruminant animals, meaning they have a simple, one chamber stomach similar to humans, dogs, and pigs. However, their diets are very different since horses are able to digest and absorb nutrients from foods that most other non-ruminant animals cant.

What do you say?” At the age of 9, Anthony Hollander was taught how to play chess from his grandfather. His grandfather was a wise, retired army veteran, with a knack for chess. He loved everything about it, that’s why he wanted to see if young Anthony would give it a try. Soon enough he picked…

Leon yawned as he finally left the stables, knowing his horse was in capable hands. He had always tried to look after his steeds himself, following his father's teachings that they should try and look after themselves as much as possible rather than relying on others to do their work for them. But this time, he knew it was better for the animal if he just let the stable hands do their job. He was utterly exhausted, the quest having been a long and tiring one.
