Horse Emotions

Owning a horse is a wonderful experience when it comes to riding, shows and many other pleasures associated with horses. There is an aspect of ownership that involves maintenance, which is not always as glamorous as heading out across the countryside for a ride or parading in the horse shows to win a highly recognized prize. Horse care/maintenance is a necessary part of owning a horse and lays the foundation for any equestrian who is well tended to provide the owner with many years of valued service, pleasure riding and many other benefits that are associated with owning a horse.

Behavioural development in animals undergoing domestication is characterized by changes in the quantitative rather than qualitative nature of responses (Price, 1999). When being ridden McGreevy et al., (2009) found that horses may be that at their most dangerous (e.g., when bolting and bucking), ridden horses have simply reverted to responses within the predator model. This is interesting because it suggests that no matter how ethologically parallel in-hand work may be, a ridden horse can later revert to these counter–predator responses, seemingly confirming that ridden work may not be emphatically within, the horse’s ethogram. It could also suggest that whatever performance enhancing products are used, will the horse just revert back to these behaviours regardless. This shows that when the dialogue between horses and humans is consistent there is a positive correlation with relaxation and rapport. Inter-specific communication may help the horses overcome their fear and therefore reduce the tendency to use counter-predator responses. When the horse shows something of its own intention, it is often seen from a human perspective to be undermining the human-horse interaction. What horse people erroneously consider examples of reasoning in their horses, turn out to be excellent examples of trial-and-error

John Grady is not your average cowboy. All the Pretty Horses is not your typical coming-of-age story. This is an honest tale. Cormac McCarthy follows John Grady as he embarks on his journey of self-discovery across the border. Armed with a few pesos in his pocket, a strong horse and a friend at his side, John Grady thinks he’s ready to take on the Wild West of Mexico. At their final steps in America, a stranger, aged thirteen, joins our heroes. This unexpected variable named Blevins challenges John Grady, testing his character and pushing him to uncomfortable limits. The dynamic of their relationship reveals John Grady’s capacity to care for others as he shelters this kid from the hardships of reality and the

10). Horses become non-judgmental confidants, which are not often available in most patients’ lives (Kemp et al., 2014, p. 559). Additionally, since horses cannot judge, patients are not on the defensive during therapy. This lack of defensiveness allows patients to partake in therapy with a vulnerable, honest mindset that is vital for success (Meinersmann et al., 2008, p. 40). One patient explained that she was too sensitive and defensive to be able to benefit from traditional talk therapy with a human therapist “so having that equine-assisted psychotherapy was very validating” (Meinersmann et al., 2008, p. 40). Furthermore, not only are horses non-judgmental, as long as they are treated well, they respond with love and acceptance. These factors in the equine-patient relationship enable patients to foster further emotional improvements (Bachi et al., 2012, p.

Vision: Horses see the world in an entirely different light, literally. Horses have issues seeing colors. Their vision can be compared to a person with red-green colorblindness but only with the variations in the gray region. This is because the horse’s eyes and a person’s eyes are not made the exact same way.

Known as an equine-rich area, those involved in the Headwaters region's horse industry tend to work in silos. Breaking down those barriers is the goal of Horse Experience 2015, an initiative of Equine Canada, the Ontario Equestrian Federation (OEF) and the Hills of Headwaters Tourism Association aiming to capitalize on publicity the Pan Am Games will thrust onto the region later this month. "The horse industry is somewhat splintered," said project co-ordinator Kelly Counsell. "This particular project has really been an unprecedented collaboration with the local horse industry. There are people stepping up that usually just do their own thing." Horse Experience 2015 will feature a month-long showcase of the Canadian horse industry within a one-hour

The Horses by Edwin Muir The Poem that I am going to talk about in this essay is "The Horses"

According to sources, after performing studies at the University of Sussex, Jennifer Wathan and Karen McComb made a breakthrough--readable horses. Frankly, multitudes of animals communicate to each other; more than none. Adversely, humans do not know and understand all of a horse’s movements that relate to their decision making process. Fortunately, these two university researchers have an answer: Use visual cues to read a horse's mood. Jennifer Wathan assessed that being decisive to cognition and emotion is a fundamental skill; even for animals. In relation to horses, their ears and eyes tell the tale.

I have ridden numerous horses in my life, some more pleasant than others. The truth is, there’s no such thing as a perfect horse. There are, however, many different kinds of horses. Now when I say different kinds, I’m not talking about breeds or purposes or colors. I’m talking about horses with different personalities. That’s right. Horses with different personalities, but they’re personalities. Horses have different attitudes and characteristics just like people. There are bossy people, sensitive people, overachievers, etc. Just like people, some horses are easier or more pleasant to deal with than others.

They sense our emotions and often move away from fear and anger because these register as potential danger. However, they don’t feel threatened by the more vulnerable human emotions such as sadness and loneliness. Horses can sense the feelings in us that are often out of our conscious awareness and, thus, give us information about ourselves. They mirror our feelings back to us through their body language, therefore, they teach us how we impact those around us. For example if a patient begins to get angry with a horse and loses their temper, they will be able to see the horse recoil which gives the patient a clear understanding of the effect their emotions can

Scientists have discovered that horses are expressive. A new study shows that they can make 17 distinctive facial expressions. Icaro is the boss of all the horses in his barnyard. To show the rest of the animals that he is the boss he makes a " snarky " face. Icaro pins back his ears and narrows his eyes to achieve the "snarky face ". Many people including scientists thought animals didn’t use their face that much.

Horses need friends, horses are designed to have other horses in there life. Horses need it for different types of help. Horses have human friends to if they don’t have another horse with them they will try to become friends with their owner, but they still won't stop hoping for a new friend there kind. Horses need a friend because of the love and if they don't get even a little of love they could die of

Horses have long been thought of as great companions to their riders, but many people may not know that [interacting with horses can provide measurable physiological and psychological benefits](http://thejodhpurscompany.com/blogs/the-jodhpurs-company-blog/42881987-how-horses-make-humans-healthier).

Van Gogh seemed extremely interested in Japanese culture, nature, and with the daily life of Japanese individuals. There was a high admiration of Japanese culture in the 19th century in Paris. I believe when he saw the Japanese prints that he bought, he enjoyed and became curious about Japanese art, stemming away from Western art. I believe that he saw Japan’s art as masterpieces that deserved to be studied and emulated. Upon looking at his art, I notice that they seem untraditional, breaking away from the rigidity of art.

A student sits in class all day listening to the droning voice of their teacher drilling them with secular ideas, memorizing the ideas as fact. As the student continues into the real world, they only know the secular ideas they have accepted as fact. Unaware of the views and beliefs of a large portion of American society, confusion can overwhelm students. Public schools often teach secular ideas as fact and ignore religious ideas. Offering both viewpoints to students to students in public schools is important. Teaching religion in public schools has a positive effect on children.
