So if you’re riding a strapping 4 or 5-year-old, keep in mind that his skeleton isn’t fully mature yet! He might not grow visibly bigger, but his body is still developing into its adult form and that may continue until he’s past his 6th birthday. So be careful not to yank his neck or slam on his back. Horses whose backs are still fusing are more vulnerable to back injuries and structural damage from riding.
You don’t have to wait until all of your horse’s

Standing on his hind legs, this rare andalucian stallion is fearless. His ears are turned back while his noble looking head is held high. His all black coat glistens in the late afternoon sun. His face displays a strong confidence with his nostrils flared, his veins bulging from his cheek bones, and his fiery black eyes burning holes into the souls of those who stare into them. His neck muscles are tensed and thickened with adrenalin. His black main is thrown into the wind like a flag rippling in the winds of a tornado. His muscular front legs are brought up to his chest displaying his flashing gray hooves that could crush a man's scull with one blow. His backbone and underbelly are held almost straight up and his hind quarters are tensed.
“Some people say I was lucky to survive, other will say I deserved it for the choice I made. I’m here to say I was lucky, it’s never ok to say your life isn’t worth living even at your worst you can always look forward tomorrow will come and if you put your mind to it you’ll see that anything is possible.” – Stephen McGregor Professional Paralympian
In the dusk of a summer Saturday evening, a trickle of light streams through the overhead leaves. One particular horse poses beneath a canopy of towering Adirondack oaks, most of which are only rivaled by the antique racetrack in age. Only a few fans are all that remains of the crowd that adorned the grandstand the hour before, with dreams to witness history. The few that linger lean enthusiastically over the barn barricade that had once struggled to restrain the appreciative masses and masses, only for the opportunity to catch a glimpse of this particular thoroughbred in the distance. But this horse didn’t win today. Today’s victor grazed out of his stall rows down, seemingly unnoticed. The sky, once a brilliant blue, has turned darker with
It has also been shown that using the horse for riding has caused vertebrae problems if the rider uses incorrect posture (Lesimple et al., 2010).
Riding is balance and communication. Both the rider and horse need to be athletes. I know when I get on a horse; my 170 pounds changes the horse. Now, my job is to make it as easy as possible for the horse to be strong, flexible and happy with my added weight. Athletes, both human and equine train to be strong and increase flexibility, but training and muscle development takes time. However, people are impatient and that is where aggressive riding and gadgets that occur rollkur come in to the picture; draw reins, funky bits, head setters, and improper use of side reins. As Sarah Rigg has mentioned to us in numerous classes it takes years of proper training and riding just to correct the issues humans cause in horse’s just by sitting on
Being safe around horse are important? According to Equisearch “Keeping Kids Safe Around Horses” Always have someone watching just in case if something goes wrong, find a horse that is the right size for your rider and a horse that is calm, always wear a helmet, and be smart (Equisearch).
I never realized the difficulties of being both Mexican and American until I became older and more self-aware. As a kid you oversee a lot of experiences because you don’t necessarily understand what is happening and why. Even today some people do not understand my identity or agree with it. I am Chicana and it is something that is important to me.
This generation is mainly known for our desire to find uniqueness, passing off our immaturity as Y.O.L.O (You Only Live Once) and acting childish. Miley Cyrus, also known as Hanna Montana, is someone that symbolizes this era. She is labeled as a rebel and rejected by society for making immature decisions, yet many teens are following in her footsteps. Miley’s use of drugs, uniqueness in style and dancing influences teens to be like her.
I play football here at ULM and we have been in our fall camp for the last 23 days. It is a mental, physical, and emotional strain and tensions are running high. One day early on in camp we were out in the blistering heat practicing. We were almost finished when we called a screen pass and I was going to be the main blocker for the play and if I messed up it wouldn't work. Then as soon as the ball was snapped I stepped with the wrong foot first. This slowed me down and the defender was able to clobber our receiver behind the line of scrimmage. My position coach, Coach Clark, immediately ran over yelling, "What are you doing? Where is the direction you can't lose your man on that play?" I knew what I had done wrong, "I can't let him get up the

First, the child invests more effort and time into owning the horse than their parents do. Children learn more responsibility because they spend so much time cleaning, feeding, and caring for their horse. Parents have the responsibility of paying for the animal, which albeit, is an expensive task, but it is not one done in vain. With a dog, much of the responsibility can be allocated to the parents because they see dogs as another child or friend that they can pamper. Although this is beneficial for the parents, it is not teaching their children how to be responsible for live animals. Moreover, three doctors conducted a study on the effects of horseback riding in children with spastic cerebral palsy. They found that the studied children's muscle symmetry improved, rendering other stretching practices useless. Because the walking gait of a horse mimics a human's walk, the muscles in people's legs get stretched out. Physically disabled kids can learn to walk again after a traumatic event or after being born with paralysis. Even mentally disabled children or kids with autism have been shown to speak and socialize better. All children can benefit from horseback riding, not just the healthy, "normal" ones. Furthermore, horseback riding does not appear to be exercise, but it actually works many muscles of the core and lower body. According to bodybuilding.com, riding targets the abdominals, the quadriceps
"Wake up, partners," the trail boss, James called. I sleepily looked up , shivered, and saw I was the only one not up. "Here," James said, giving me the horses' bridles and saddles. "Take these and get the horses ready. We have a long day today." I groaned in reply and set up the horses for the day's long drag. I was the horse wrangler and this was my everyday job but I still couldn't get use to the idea of waking up before the sun and working. We drove the cattle into open plains against the winter's cold wrath.

Thesis Statement: Although the rivals of the death penalty accept this to be unethical and non-gainful, promoters of the death penalty have ended up being this to be a financially savvy, and morally redress obstruction of future killings.
