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. After a stable fire on the Halloween night of 1980 that killed eighteen prized horses, my great-grandfather lost his livelihood. 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. After a seventy year career and over four hundred wins, he was nominated for United Horseman Hall of Fame in 1999 and was

With this in mind and the fact that events take more than a few mere seconds, rodeos can be an all day event. In a high school rodeo in Laramie this spring, there were nearly 200 runs or rides being made throughout the course of just one day. So you can imagine the...

    Although, Shatto Stoli’s ankle wasn’t as swollen anymore, I had to train him in a more tender way. Every day starting at 6 in the morning and at 6 in the evening I fed him and made sure he was well hydrated. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I trained him. Usually, I would take him to the back of the ranch and ride him myself, but since he was slightly injured I went slow on him and put him in the walker instead. For two weeks, I kept him in the walker. Surprisingly, Shatto Stoli’s ankle was looking way better so I decided to take him for a ride to the back. As I rode him, I said thought to myself “Oh man! Oh man! This horse is ready!” He was riding so smooth and clean I was certain he had a shot at winning first

  • Who Is Josey's Horse In The Outlaw Horse Symbolism

    612 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Clint Eastwood’s film, The Outlaw Josey Wales, horses are extremely prevalent. Whether it’s Josey’s horse or the Union soldiers’ horses, they are seen everywhere throughout the film. Horses are not frequent in the film just because it is an old western film; they are frequent in the film because they hold a great amount of symbolism. The most prominent horse in the film is clearly Josey’s horse, and it symbolizes a lot of things. Typically, a horse symbolizes ideas such as the spirit, freedom, or power. In the film, however, Josey’s horse represents a different idea: Josey’s heroic, animalistic and instinctive nature. When he puts horse down, when he rides to Ten Bears on horse, when he rides out of forest and kills the union soldiers on his horse

    It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Tony Irwin for The James Worth Bagley College of Engineering (BCoE) Hall of Fame. During the summer of 2015, Tony was selected as an intern at Johns Manville in Richland, Mississippi. The selection process was highly selective and he was selected from a very capable group of his engineering peers. The contributions he made during his tenure as an intern were exemplary. One of the projects assigned to Tony was to develop a procedure for a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) that would yield a statistically acceptable repeatable and reproducible test method for nonwoven fibers. Tony was able to work on this project as he had developed this unit himself. Tony had limited time

    “You are a great champion. When you ran, the ground shook, the sky opened and mere mortals parted. Parted the way to victory, where you'll meet me in the winner's circle, where I'll put a blanket of flowers on your back.” This is a quote from one of my favorite movies, which just so happens to be a movie about a race horse, Mariah’s Storm (Sonador), that is based on a true story, based on a horse that won the Breeder’s Cup, after suffering and recovering from a broken cannon bone caused by falling during a previous race. Although the movie may not reflect directly on my essay, the quote reflects on all areas of horse racing.

  • Passionate About Horses

    I took riding lessons for many years, made friends with horses I could ride, and when I got a little older started to help give lessons. After many years of pleading and convincing, my parents finally gave in and bought me my first horse. I had just turned 13 and couldn’t have thought of a better birthday present. Sly was a beautiful dark bay reining horse and he was also 13. We competed together for three years, mostly in Utah Quarter Horse shows, but we also qualified for the Novice World Championships in 2013, and 2014. After a few amazing years working with Sly, I needed a new challenge; therefore we purchased a new all-around quarter horse. Deuce was a much more sophisticated horse than I was used to riding in the past. He was very well trained and made me extremely more confident as a competitor. Deuce and I ended up placing first in trail and third in horsemanship at the AQHYA World Championships. Going to that show, let alone winning it has been my biggest equine accomplishment so far in my show career. I still show both horses to this day and will never be able to get enough of

    People overlook many things while determining whether players should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. There are many that deserve it more that others and there are some that do not deserve that it at all. Players are usually determined more on their numbers of statistics. Doesn’t it feel awful to be overlooked or underrated? Well, players should be recognized by their statistics, strategy, and their style – not by how many titles or games they have won. There is a saying that says you can’t win for losing but that winner might not be as good as the loser might be. On that note, players are imminent to become a hall of famer or inducted into the hall of fame should be recognized only by their statistics, awards, and their style or innovation of the game
