Horse Show Research Paper

It was a warm mid-september day and I was preparing to go horseback riding for the very first time. I was celebrating my bestfriend’s birthday with her family and a couple other friends. On the ride over you could feel the jitters in the air and the excitement to try something new. We arrived to Bobby’s Ranch in Westford MA and settled on petting some of the other animals. It was all very bizarre, almost movie-like. We joked around about rookie mistakes and wondered how many of us were going to fall under it’s trap. The ride was scheduled to be an hour long, through the woods and in an orderly fashion. I got on top of a platform and was instructed on how to get up on the saddle and how to use the reins to guide the horse. The birthday girl

The way I located the thesis statement was by skimming though the article and reading the bold writing which are the points the author is describing throughout the article. After going over the main points I go back and read the introduction and figured which sentence goes best with the article.

I feel as if my application would be incomplete if I did not discuss my absolute and overwhelming passion for equestrian sports and the horses, our teammates, we compete on. Ever since I was little I had a strong desire to touch or even get a glimpse of our equine friends. The moment I finally was able to ride it clicked, this was the thing I have always wanted to do. Horses and the sport of riding makes up who I am, my heart and soul goes into it.

I took a deep breath as I walked my horse into the Greeley Stampede Arena. I told myself just to "relax." I loped a circle around the arena to make sure that my horse was warmed up and ready to go. He was ready but I was starting to get nervous. I stopped in front of the roping box to put my piggin' string in my mouth. I looked at my calf in the chute to make sure that it was number 33, which was one of the best calves out of the whole set. It was, and I was ready to ride into the box and rope my calf, or attempt to rope my calf. I began to get more nervous, more nervous than I ever had been at a rodeo.

Many recognize the classic image of the cowboy in an old western movie: the fearless, stoic hero that stays calm in moments of crisis. In Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses, readers witness the protagonist, John Grady Cole, attempt to revive this famous archetype. Beginning as early as when the first pilgrims came to the new continent, Americans have always had a desire to “settle” Native American lands. In the time that followed, the West became a sort of proving ground for the Europeans and their decedents. During the nineteenth century, the image of land being settled by men on horses, who literally took the law into their own hands through their shotguns, became pervasive in the American mind. By

Everybody’s eyes were on me as if I was the only living thing for miles. Silence filled the air of the huge coliseum, so quiet that you could hear breathes of each individual. There were hundreds of people sitting in the stands. Even better there were thousands of people watching on the live web cam. It was a cool October morning, and the sun was shining brightly. I woke up and could hear the birds chirping, like they were sending me a sign that it was going to be a great day. The sun was not strong enough to beat the brisk air which was blowing. I had not slept well that night, nor any night that week actually. After all I was about to be showing at the largest single breed horse show in the world, the Quarter Horse Congress. I had been practicing that entire year for this very moment. I literally suffered through blood, sweat, and tears. Nothing in the entire world could stop me at this point. Even if there was a zombie apocalypse, I would slay them all just to have this very

There isn't a lot of quarter horse racing in the race books of Nevada, at least not as much as thoroughbred and harness racing, but there is enough that I get an itch to make a wager. I spent some time working on this system and have found it to be profitable. It is not an angle that produces any high payouts, but it does have a high win percentage, so I'm cashing a lot of tickets.

CENTRAL PARK, NY — The Rolex Central Park Horse Show's lineup will feature a major stud this year. Frederik the Great, a purebred Friesian stallion — the "world's most handsome horse" — will perform during an equestrian show at Central Park's Wollman Rink in September.

Trail riding can be fun and relaxing, but it can also leave horses exposed to disease, especially if they are traveling to a new area or haven’t been given the proper vaccinations to help protect them from local disease threats.

After a few weeks of hard work and long hours in the barn, I went to a national show. I placed Supreme Grand Champion Female. When I shook the judge's hand tears were rolling down my face. If I would not have been determined I would have never went the extra mile to win the show. As soon as I walked of the ring holding the huge purple banner, there was Kacey waiting to give me the biggest hug. She grabbed the banner (which was as tall as her) and said, “I knew you could do!” It was not about the buckles or banners it was about the people and memories I will never

There is a critical shortage of guide animals for the blind and guide horses are an appropriate assistance animal for thousands of visually impaired people in the USA. In early experiments, Guide Horses have shown great promise as a mobility option, and people who have tried Guide Horses report that the Guide Horses perform exceptionally well at keeping their person safe. These friendly horses provide an experimental alternative mobility option for blind people. People who have tried Guide Horses report that the horses demonstrate excellent judgment and are not easily distracted by crowds and people.

The Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby is one of the most storied horse races in the United States. Dating back to 1875, the Kentucky Derby is the longest running sports event in the U.S. The “Run for the Roses”, as the Derby is called, takes place in Louisville, Kentucky on the first Saturday in May. History

Mistakes can be great teachers. When I was learning to jump my horse I had the fear of falling and being stepped on. My riding instructor, constantly reassured me, that if I forward moved with the horse I would be fine, and if I happened to lose my balance I would land on neck of my horse. To jump a horse the rider has to go in to what is called two point position also most laying on the horse’s neck, which places the rider closest to the jump. This terrified me, I would reluctantly go in to a half way two point. This was alright over eight inch polls however a cross rail was a different story. I was practicing for an upcoming show, when my mother informed me that my instructor wanted me to work at cross rails. I decided that I would practice

In general, horse-riding practicing sessions or competitions are performed on a big sandy or synthetic racetrack surface.
