Horseriding in the Area of Sancreed
For my Geography G.C.S.E coursework I am going to study Horse riding
in the area of Sancreed. I will investigate whether there are a
certain amount of areas that horse riders can go. As I enjoy horse
riding I can investigate this and give an opinion whether there are
enough and how they can be improved.
Sancreed is a popular area for bridle ways as there are many different
tracks you can go on. The bridle ways lead off to certain areas in
Sancreed such as around the available farm land and along the river
banks. They all lead back into the middle of the village around the
Chapel. You can see this on the map. There are many abandoned farm
houses near by, loads of mine shafts which have been fenced off for
safety and electrical generators. These are also many safe enclosed
areas where horse riders can go and ride.
I shall gather my information by traffic Surveys and Questionnaires. I
can hand out questionnaires at my local horse riding centre and too my
friends as they have horses themselves and they ride in the area of
Sancreed. I will use the road traffic surveys to see whether or not it
is safe enough for horse riders to ride safely on the roads. The
questionnaires are to see the public's opinion on how the bridle ways
can be improved or if they are suitable as they are.
Hypothesis:
I am going to test whether there are enough safe areas for horse
riders to go in the area of Sancreed and to test how horse riding has
damaged the environment.

What is the history of Bridleways?
Bridleways were opened for the public as a safe place to go and ride.
On 3rd of March 2000 a bill called the Rights of Way Act was
Once you get them to settle down and get there mind focused on just walking and the rider then you know the bond with the rider and horse are strong. When it is time for the second run of the night you want to warm them up again but not as hard this time because he or she has already been warmed up once before this, so just a little warming up won’t hurt. When it is that time for the second run the rider will bring the horse him a set him or her up for their first barrel and make the most of the race. If you see the rider smiling then everyone knows she has done her job with this horse. The rider can make an automatic barrel horse where that horse know his job and she barely has to ask the horse for a turn or touch his face to go around that barrel. When the rider gets a horse to be like that everyone can tell they spent hours and days together. The rider worked with that horse but never made him sour or hate coming into the arena. They spent time working on flexing the horse and making sure he knew when to tuck his nose and leave it for an extra second. They will all see when they are running home how much they spend time they spend together if they are fast and smooth through the pattern and don’t have any blow ups before or after coming in and out of the arena. After the race is over and the announcer say who
The use of horses for human consumption dates back to the earliest use of animals for human consumption. Horses are used for food in many counties but are also considered inhumane in other countries. In the United States specifically, horsemeat is not the norm for consumed meat. There seems to be a problem that has arisen. It is suspected that horses being slaughtered at horse slaughtering factories are not the most up to date, pain free for the horse, and human as people suspect them to be like beef kill floors. There are many pros and cons to horse slaughter that accompany the pressure groups on each side of horse slaughter. Another big controversy with horse slaughter is the argument of legalizing horse slaughter and what those details will entail in the law.

Professional rodeo is one of the more popular equine competitions.The beginnings of rodeo can be traced back to the ranches of the early 1700’s, when the Spanish ruled the West. The Spanish cattlemen on these early ranches had duties including roping, horse breaking, riding, herding, branding, and much more. These events are now competitions in our modern day rodeos (Clark).
Imagine riding a horse on white sandy beach with crystal blue waters, or a cowboy in the dusty deserts of the Wild West. Although riding a horse along a tropical island and cowboys do exist, horseback riding is recognized as a sport. Most do not realize but horsemanship can be added as a part of an exercise routine and have similar benefits of going to the gym. In addition, there are psychological gains of horse riding.
Rodeo was believed to have started as friendly competition between ranch hands to see who could complete daily tasks the fastest and most efficient. That eventually grew into the “American sport” we have today, though it’s not only practiced in America (About). It is seen by many as a way to celebrate America’s western roots. Prescott Arizona holds the title of world’s oldest formalized rodeo. On July 4th 1888 businessmen there organized a “Cowboy Tournament” that later grew to be “a multimillion dollar enterprise with more than 700 professional rodeos in 50 states” (Anderson). It may seem and look a little different than it did back then,” but it still involves just as much skill and horsemanship as before” (About).
When looking at ones physical weaknesses one must know that for every different disability, there are multiple different ways one can be treated for it while being involved with therapeutic horseback riding and each different exercise can be helpful in a different way for each individual.

With the Southern Ohio Fair Association taking over the fairgrounds in 1874, the grounds were divided up into nine departments: Horses, Cattle, Sheep, Agricultural, Mechanics, Textile, Farm, Speed, and Grounds. When hearing this information, one would look at the fairgrounds present day and be a little confused. Back in the 1800’s the way to have fun was to race, sell, and buy horses. “The Southern Ohio Fair Association built the Exhibition Hall and a Machinery Hall. The track was enlarged and other improvements were made” (Drury 808). The Exhibition Hall became the focal point of the fairgrounds, and still is today.

Rodeo is a sport with long American traditions and loved by many spectators and participants. Past history has shown that rodeo needed to make way for a new era of riders and trainers with a larger emphasis on the welfare of the animals and not be discontinued or banned entirely. Today’s rodeos do not present a danger to the animals because the animals are well-cared for and protected, rodeos have strict rules and the stock are treated as prized animals.

The minute the horse starts to run just let loose, do not think about where the end destination or the time just enjoy the peaceful outdoors. A saying used to describe this, “sometimes you have to loosen the lead rope” and that is true. When riding loosen the rope and clear your mind and put the stress of everyday life to the side for a while. It feels like you are on top of the world, seeing things from a different perspective and looking at the bigger picture. Feeling weightless like a jet ski flying across the water floating on water, but instead on land and a horse is flying past everything. Each person experiences riding differently and depending on how the person feels when mounting their horse, will determine the quality of the ride. Enjoy what nature has to offer and listen to the sounds that come from
