The black Arabian stallion dances across the paddock, unaware of the gray gelding that stands old and unwanted in the pasture next to him. The black flags his flamboyant silky tail and bolts, startled by a shiny black Lexus. He runs indirectly towards the white wooden fence that separates himself and the old gelding. He tosses his nose to the wind; nostrils flaring, and catches scent of the other horse. He neighs, beckoning, but the old horse only flicks an ear in his direction, uncaring of the pounding hooves a mere three meters away. The black turns away, marveling and wondering at the old horse, but a white bag startles him, and he spooks into the wind, the sun dancing of his satin coat and flying mane, giving him the name Desert Ghost.
The Arabian is one of the most versatile horse breeds in the world. Its bloodlines are present in most all horse breeds found today. The Arabian was first bred by the Bedouins to be a desert horse. Needed for endurance, its slim legs and thin coat were perfect for the harsh desert sands. Soon other people began to notice the breed and the Arabian became the most popular horse breed.
In addition to the Arabian’s adaptability, it is an extremely athletic and sensitive breed. Breeders are not just focusing on halter and Western horses, they are trying to breed Arabians for athleticism. “In the middle of the 1900s French Trotters, Arabians Thoroughbreds, and Anglo-Arabs were used to develop the Selle Francais breed. This horse excels at show jumping and eventing. It tackles difficult cross-country fences bravely and is good at dressage” (Ransford, 39). Up next to the Arabian’s fantastic disposition and athleticism, they have a slightly different make-up in their conformation. Smaller than...

Through adversaries and changes, the Arabian horse has still triumphed. It overcame ignorant population, pushover breeders, their enormous beauty and even tax shelters. They are the founders of other breeds and enhance the ones they are bred into. This leads to the one and only conclusion: the Arabian horse is truly the most versatile, intelligent and essential breed in the world.
The black stallion spins around again, marveling again at the small gray gelding standing in the shade of the tree. That was the ideal Arabian, but sometimes renegades like the black came along. The breeders never did know what to do with those kinds. They are truly great icons of the Arabian horse, but tarnish the breed. The breeders; however, do know that horses like the black should never be underestimated, and breeders like themselves should not either.
Justin Morgan was a living legend. Born in 1789, Justin Morgan started life as a small, rough-coated colt known as "Figure." Gradually, the local population began to talk about the feats of "the Justin Morgan horse". Justin Morgan also proved to be one of the greatest breeding horses of all time. While most breeds develop by breeding horses of similar characteristics to each other, Justin Morgan's ability to pass his characteristics to his offspring for generations to come allowed this single stallion to found an entire breed in his likeness. Today, every registered Morgan traces back to Justin Morgan through his best-known sons Bulrush, Sherman, and Woodbury.
Even though any breed is allow to participate in barrel racing, the American Quarter horse is the most predominate breed in the sport mainly because it is the most versatile of all breeds and has the speed and agility to bend around the barrels. When it comes to types or bloodlines of the horse it is more of a personal opinion. A competitor can choose a horse that is more for racing in order to provide a faster horse or a cutting horse that is will provide more maneuverability and a smaller bend around the barrels. One good ideal is to pair racing and cutting bloodlines in order to produce a horse with the ideal combination of speed and agility.
Horses are valued by humans for the past million of years. Humans began to domesticate horses due to their ability to modulate with their environment. Horses' anatomy enables them to use of speed to escape predators. They have a well-developed sense of balance and a strong fight-or-flight instinct. Most domesticated horses begin training under saddle or in harness between the ages of two and four. The average life span of horses is approximately between 25 and 30 years. Horse breeds are based on general temperament. Spirited speed and endurance. Horses and humans intermingle in a wide variety of working activities such as police work, agriculture, entertainment, and therapy. Horses were historically used in warfare, from which a wide variety of riding. Many products are derived from horses, including meat, hide, and hair. Humans provide domesticated horses with food, water. and shelter. Horses are valued by humans in many ways and many forms of media such as Disney and the tale of Sprit, Hippotherapy, a form of rehabilitative therapy, and the tale of the Trojan horse. .
The Mother is among a family of four who lives on a small farm and takes immense pride in what interests her, however her passion does not particularly lie in her two children; James and David; nor in her husband and their interests; but instead lies within her chickens. Though chickens bring the most joy to the Mother, they are not the sole animals that live on the farm. The animal that draws the most interest from the father, James and David is their horse, Scott. At a young age, Scott was used as a working mule for the family and grew up alongside the Father and two Sons. To the father, Scott was like one of his own sons, and to James and David, Scott was like their brother; but according to the Mother, “He’s been worthless these last few years”(Macleod, 267). Ever since Scott was young, he was a burden on the Mother’s lifestyle; she never took a liking to the horse even when he served as a source of profit for the family. The Mother had never appreciated the sentimental value that Scott possessed because he had never been a particular interest to her. Once Scott had aged and was no longer able...
The lives of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson have many similarities and differences. Here, we will focus on the similarities in their lives in order to bring to attention a correlation between Whitman's poem I Saw in Louisiana a Live-oak Growing and Dickinson's poem # 1510. Both poets wrote during the time of Romanticism, even though Whitman was Dickinson's senior by some eleven years. This however did not influence the way the writing styles of many of their poems coincided.
The evolution of horses over the last 50 million years, is remarkable really. Horses used to look so different back then, its amazing to look at the difference now. Because there’s so much information on each and every type of horse that the modern horse started off as and a lot of researchers have put the information on timelines and graphs for people to view. It kinda resembles a tree if you look at the picture. It has so many different branches. To make this easy to understand this paper will go over a view of the many different forms of horse, including how old they are and what they looked like.
Though these similarities do exist, there are also several quite obvious differences between the two. The most noticeable distinguishment involves the length of the poems. While Whitman's "Song of Myself" is quite lengthy, giving detailed and wordy descriptions, Dickinson's "This quiet dust was Gentlemen and Ladies" is much more concise and to the point. While Whitman tends to

The Viking horses are big, strong beasts proportionally paired with the larger men, whereas Ahmed’s horse is a smaller Arabian stallion which is fast and nimble. The Wendol tribe rides on wild horses, which are not as large and as the Viking horses, but are larger than Ahmed’s horse. The Vikings in this movie act as if their horses are superior to the smaller horses, showing they value battle horses. In Sigurd the Volsung, Odin helps Sigurd select a worthy horse that happens to be related to Odin’s own horse, showing the Norse place worth on horses which can support their
In general, he, and many other domesticated horses are happy and healthy, quite possibly a lot happier and healthier than wild horses. I believe domestication is beneficial to not only humans, but more importantly, to horses as well.
Training a horse is very hard work, the steps involved are very time consuming. Not every horse is the same, some may be smarter than others. The steps sound very simple, but actually doing them is very different. When training a horse patience is the key. I hope after reading this you have an idea of how to train a horse.
Emily Dickinson's unusual character and style has made her become one of the world's most famous poets. In her poems, she expresses her feelings about religion, nature, death and love. Her poems tell a great deal about her lifestyle, which was very secluded and withdrawn from society.
Some people think of them as animals. Some people think of them as objects. Some people think of them as friends. Then there are the few who think of them as family. Horses have always been like family to humans, except sometimes closer. There are many benefits to owning or being around horses. They come in many different colors. There is a multitude of breeds, also. Additionally, they have a long history with humans. Horses have unique behaviors. Showing horses has been the past-time or even career of many people. Furthermore, caring for horses can be a handful, but is definitely rewarding. Finally, riding horses is not just a hobby or a sport, but an action of your heart. Horses are wondrous creatures that have lived with man or thousands of years.
Were there any impacts of the equine revolution on humans? This is one of the many questions that some people normally do not think about. The uses of equines have changed tremendously over their existence. Horseback riding has evolved in many ways. Today, using horses for transportation has declined, however leisure and rehabilitative activities have increased. To understand horseback riding, it is essential to look at the history of equines, the sport of horseback riding, and how to take care of a horse.
Walt Whitman’s writing is often argued about how he exhibits very little style, due to his free form sense of poetry. Though the structure he writes with is unconventional to say the least, he definitely has a sense of style and form that he writes with, and his style isn’t nearly as messy and thoughtless as most pundits would suggest. Whitman’s writing does not have an arrangement that can be easily confined, and give credit that he does not conform to the usual realm of literary style (much like Dickinson). Even though Whitman’s poetry doesn’t follow the conventional poetic protocol, the way other poets like Bradstreet and Longfellow do, it definitely has a certain structure and general themes that he tries incorporating , in spite of it’s sometimes hectic looking technique.
