Aphorism Analysis

Winston Churchill once said, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” Some might say Churchill was ahead of his time, with the way horse assisted therapy has just recently begun growing in popularity. All over the world therapists and psychologists have been exploring the effect horses have on troubled humans. In their explorations, perhaps with Churchill’s words in mind, they are attempting to find out just how useful an equine aid is in therapeutic treatment of physical and psychological impairments. There are passionate opinions from varying viewpoints, but they all come down to whether or not horse assisted therapy is effective and should be considered a regular practice. The answer to this

I watched as the flashes of orange lights from cars raced past me through the city, and knew there were no signs of any possibilities that there would be a place to keep a horse. I lived in northern Virginia near Washington D.C., where the city was filled with gigantic, tall office buildings with gray and gloomy windows. I could smell the gasoline and smoke coming from the cars’ exhaust. I felt the cool breeze as cars whipped past me, and the air tasted like millions of littered cigarettes on the side of the road. However, there were some horse stables, but they were far away, and the payment required for horseback riding lessons was a ridiculously large price. Of course, that never stopped me from continuously asking

In this essay, I will explain the facts, and argue my own views and opinions on horse soring, a topic that has been booming for horse owners and horse lovers in the United States and other foreign countries for the past forty years. This issue has not only been affecting the horse population, but its controversy has spread and became a huge issue in our government. People use soring to win competitions in a very cruel way. Nothing about this issue seems very fair to me whatsoever.

I remember as a little kid and now being fascinated by race horses. When I was around eight years old, my grandfather took me to a farm where they raise race horses. They were out exercising Mine That Bird and a few other horses. I thought it was so fascinating! The owner walked up to and asked if I enjoy watching them, I said very shyly,” yes sir.” He took me to the barn and let me look at all the foals and I was astonished. I got to thinking what all do they have to do to get these young foals ready to one day race? I asked Mr. Allen, and he said, “there are many things that you can do but some people don’t do the right thing and they cheat their way to victory”.

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

There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself

I am the daughter of a livestock dealer. My father was an amazing wrangler and rancher. Throughout my life, we have bought and sold many horses--too many to count, and I have also sent my own fair share to the slaughter plants. As a young teen I had a horse we called Whino, he was a great horse for me when I was learning to ride and wanting to follow Dad around. There comes a time in a horse’s life when they are not capable of doing what they once were or that they become sore or crippled to lead a life with meaning or comfort. I was raised to understand life and death and that one will follow the other. I knew when we had

It takes people a while to find that certain something they really enjoy. The typical ballet in kindergarten, the soccer and softball practices, the gymnastic classes, all of which I did. Nothing seemed to click since I would move on from it after the season was over. Now horses always seemed to bring out a spark in me. I couldn’t possibly get enough of them, and had the far-fetched dream to someday become a horse racer. Little did I know there was actually a way for me to learn how to ride horses, and so I did. I rode for eight years, and competed for one. The feeling it gave me was indescribable, but eventually I had to give it up since lessons were expensive. Nowadays I really enjoy makeup: doing it on myself, on other people, or watching it be done, I don’t prefer one over the other.

I was given an opportunity to be more informed of political and social issues occurring in the United States by reading a variety of political articles written by Micheal Blow. I did not just read the first five articles I saw, but I did go through a selective process to find the columns with social topics that I valued most. In addition to worldly knowledge, through these tasks I was able to expand my knowledge of different writing styles, different view points, and different usage of rhetorical devices.

Horses make smile some people think I'm sappy but I could ride mine a mile I sit upon my saddle Hold my head high It makes it easier to see the cattle And let my rope fly Join me on a trail

Riding a horse is harder work than what it appears to the untrained eye. It has been said by many a non-equestrian that the horse does all the work while equestrians just sit there. Well, as an equestrian, I beg to differ. There is much more to riding that just sitting there and it’s about time equestrianism and equestrians start receiving more respect, as a sport and as athletes.
