Assignment 1: Biodiversity Issue – Tanya Williams Feral Horses: a cultural icon or an environmental nightmare. With the population of brumbies growing, the Victorian government are looking to find alternative ways to manage the numbers of feral horses that are living within the Alpine environment. However, when Australians think about wild horses, they associate them with the Australian identity as they have helped form our ‘outback’ culture. This has caused debate between environmentalists…

This past summer while shadowing at an equine veterinary clinic I was asked to hand walk a horse who was acting up in his stall. He was a beautiful black stallion, and I felt power and fear radiating from him. When I took him outside, I saw why he was there. A huge raw cut covered a quarter of his flank, the skin had been ripped away, exposing the red damaged muscles underneath. This had happened when he spooked after being handled by his rescue family and he had ran into barbed wire. They had…

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…

simply being and breathing. This is an opportunity never able to be seized once the afternoon rush of people start trickling in. There is not a cloud in the sky and a cool breeze rustles the leaves of the trees. I make my way towards the barn to see my horse before I head off to school. The old stable that sits in the center of the lot is a bright red that has faded from many years of sunshine and is coated in a thick layer of dirt. The paint is chipped and many of the boards sag like the…

trainer. She was rambling on about this horse saying, “he’s perfect for you” and “you need to come and see him.” When I finally went out to the barn to see him, I was shocked. He was very skinny and malnourished, his hooves were overgrown, and he had absolutely no training. As soon as I looked into his eyes, I saw a completely different side to this horse. I saw how sweet, caring, and in need of help he was. From that moment on, he was known as my horse, a horse that was going to need a lot of…

what am I going to do with this horse? I have tried everything that I’d known! This horse was basicly a bucking bronco. There was only one thing left to try, and that was the vet. Good thing we have an appointment tomorrow. As morning arrived I went to the barn at 6am, since our appointment at 7. The horse thankfully loaded the trailer with very little troubles. As I arrived at the vet office, I found a parking spot right away. As I got out of the truck the horse started bucking in the trailer I…

benefits increases. Today public administrators must do more than just to enjoy the benefits of protecting wild horses as a symbol of the independence of the American West – they must also weigh the costs and other repercussions of such action. Then the public administrators have to make a decision on how to improve the program performance. As a tool to measure costs and benefits of BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Program Team C decided to use the following decision-making analytical technique:  …

Both early horse and modern horse have displayed a strong herd instinct to survive and reproduce . The modern horse has retained the same survival instincts , it will take flight (gallop away/bolt) if frightened . They maintain the same traits as a group of horse’s in a field or in the case of wild horse’s such as wild Mustang’s or Camargue horse’s. For example – if one horse takes flight the others will follow . If unable to take flight self-preservation instincts such as biting or kicking may…

The role of the horse has changed and evolved a lot over time in many ways. Horses were once only wild animals that live in herds and roam around big, spacious green lands. These animals were once only used for their meat as a source of food and their hides were used for clothing blankets to keep people warm. Horses were later domesticated to be used as transportation and a source of farm labor. Since they were domesticated horses have shown people how smart they are. Horses show an…
