Formal education such as a degree is not particularly necessary, though it can be helpful. The most needed to become an appraiser is a course through an appraisal association which usually includes both classroom and field hours (Equine Appraisal Certification and Career Information). Tania Evans and Rita Timpanaro have each completed over 200 hours of courses over their years of being appraisers.
These educational courses are necessary to train future appraisers in evaluating horses and developing and writing an appraisal. Training courses through the ASEA cost $995.00 for the basic course and an additional $595.00 for an advanced course. The advanced course is a more in-depth course than the basic one and qualifies for continuing education. Membership through the ASEA is required to complete the training courses; the total cost of membership is $395.00 (American Society of Equine

But, behind the glitz and glamour of horse shows, there is also a dark side. Nowadays, some horse people will use harmful shortcuts to get a leg up in competition. “ Pushed beyond their limits, most horses are subjected to cocktails of legal and illegal drugs intended to mask injuries and artificially enhance performance.” (PETA). Many trainers will use extreme, abusive techniques in the name of competition.
Why? That seems to be a constant question society asks every time a tragic incident happens in the world or a child suffers from abuse or depression. Why do these things occur? The answer is still unknown, but the way of helping those who struggle from mental illnesses, abuse, or depression is not unknown. Allowing those individuals into a place that gives them a sense of safeness and a comfortable place to talk will show them strength and support and will also help them deal with their tragic event or problem. However, there are more ways than just sitting in a room talking about an individual's problems to help overcome the recurring issues in today's society, such as using therapeutic animals like horses to help individuals feel more at

This newspaper article was created to commemorate an important event within the community of Layton, Utah in 1999. It celebrates when my great-grandfather John Field was inducted into the United Horseman Hall of Fame. He started training horses when he was very young and successful in this hobby and built up a reputation.

However, he was able to rebuild his career through support from friends and a persevering philosophy. He created his own stable in Layton, UT and continued to attend shows.

An appraisal is the evaluation of someone or something, but in this case, the real property is the thing being assessed. Lenders do not come look visit neighborhoods and look at houses, and they are not the experts of local real estate markets. Many lenders may be thousands of miles away from the actual property. With that being said, the lender wants to be confident that an investor will be able to give them their money back, so they hire a professional appraiser that is not emotionally attached to the property. An appraiser estimates how much the home is worth. An appraiser will go in the house and take a look around, examining the conditions of the house and features of the interior. They generally check things such as the square footage of the house, to see if the bathroom and kitchen have been remodled, and to see if there are any health or saftey
