"First place goes to 218 Katelynn and her horse She's a Package!" Joy and pride surged through my body when I had won. Horse to me is more than the dictionary definition. The word horse is defined as an animal, a herbivore with hoofs instead of feet. In my life, though, horse is the loss of my grandpa, trying to live up to expectations, and the anxiety of getting hurt.
Horse is loss. Loss as in losing someone. For me, I lost my grandpa, papa, to cancer Three almost four years ago. He was a very hard working man. He owned his own electrical business, farmed land, and he also made time for his hobby of horses. He instilled my love for horses. I thought he was amazing, he traveled to North Dakota and Canada to show horses. He went so many times

In specific most pressure came from my mom. She grew up with my papa and almost every weekend from April to September they went to a horse show. She thought because I love horses so much that I was going to want to compete like she did. So I tried but as I got older it just was not fun anymore. I think most of the pressure she was putting on me was because she knew my older brother had tried but he did not enjoy it as much as did, and my younger brothers did not have an interest in horses either. So really I was her last chance to have one of her kids continue what she had done. I still am in the horse project with my county and do horse bowl. This also does not require us to be up at my grandmas every weekend, she lives three and a half hours away, or the money to board a horse, not to mention the fees to show. In a way that is a good thing, because right now would be my prime time in the horse circuit, but my older brother is going to be starting college so we really are not in the financial state to do it either. Besides it being financially incapable it was really starting to affect me in the seventh grade, I was not doing very good in school. That summer I really did not want to ride, she finally got angry enough that she told me if I wanted to ride I would have to come and get her. That worked for about a week till she was back and I had told her many times I did not like to compete. I think we have finally come to a semi-agreement that I am not …show more content…
The anxiety comes from a couple of situations. Imagine your seven years old, your riding a red sorrel horse while your brother is across the arena riding a white horse, with your grandpa in the center giving you directions. Your feet start to get sore, so you break away from the center and let your feet out of the stirrups keep in mind you have spurs on. Five minutes later your horse spooks and starts running, and as you are seven years old you hold on for dear life. While the spurs keep digging into your horse, it starts bucking so you hold on even tighter not helping your situation so the bucks get higher and harder and finally you lose your grip and you fly off. You do not get severely hurt, but you did get the wind knocked out of you. You are scared of the horse now, but your grandpa makes you get back on with tears streaming down your face. It helped only a little making you get back on, from that day forward you never wanted to ride that horse. As you got older you slowly got better and more comfortable. Now you and your mom are riding in the arena, today she said you are going to start loaping. Keep in mind you are on a past barrel riding horse, they're trained to go as fast as they can. You've been riding for a while when your mom tells to cue into a loap. You've never done this before, as you cue it isn't so bad. One little detail is missing, though, you tend to hold on tight and with that your horse keeps going faster. You try so hard to slow her

The horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
All great legends in history must be honored for their sacrifice and leadership that marks a path in recent history.

The Quarter horse is very known to be a western riding horse, especially back in the old time western days. Nowadays these horses are most commonly known to be race horses.

Horses affect the world by carrying the heavy loads of the Native Americans and carrying lame or sick people, helping mail cross the country or kingdoms, and helping the Native Americans and Pioneers hunt.

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
Horses big beautiful and majestic also a little intimidating animals. They are also a therapeutic animal. Where i have grown up at there has always been a empty stall and arena from when my mom had a horse when my parents first got married. We eventually fixed it all up to where it could contain a horse which was really exciting. This all started from ridding horses for speech therapy, it was so much fun to where i started to want a horse.
Horse slaughter: the killing of horses in a slaughterhouse most likely for human consumption. Before they get slaughtered, they are transported to a slaughterhouse. The transportation to the slaughterhouses consists of insane treatment, while they most likely do not get water or food for the whole ride which will usually last 25 hours. They sometimes get hauled with
Over the year’s people have been upset over the fact that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) conducts round ups on the wild horses. Some people don’t like the use of the Helicopters, and believe each herd group should state with each other in the same holding pen. Then there are the Ranchers who believe after each round up the Mustangs and Burros shouldn’t be allowed back to the rangeland because they would end up grazing in their fields and leave nothing for their own animals. All these are good points and true statement, but, these round ups are for the protection of the herds themselves, the other wildlife and the rangelands.
When many people approach a horse, they instantly feel cautious of their surroundings. These people tense up and become terrified because of the horse’s size, how they look, or just because they have heard of people being injured from horses. Many people are intimidated by how big some horses can be and they do not want to be around them. Horses are only thought to be a dangerous animal, but they have helped humans in many ways. For instance, they have helped with farm work that humans couldn’t have done by themselves, and they were a mode of human transportation for many years. The things horses have done for humans have helped in many ways, but horses have many other purposes that can help people out. Although many people agree
Nervous and excitement are just a few words that describe how I am feeling about riding in my very first recognized show. I have worked hard to get to this point riding my pony who I have had since birth, but am just now able to build a relationship with.

I own a Welsh Pony named Gallod Fair Lady and she is 13.2 hands tall. When I was little I was scared to ride her because with her you can not kick her to go you have to lightly
I believe in horses. I believe in their gentleness, strength, and speed. I believe in the sound of hoof slamming into the ground as a horse gallops across a field. I believe in the noise of a horse breathing heavily . I believe in the sweat of a horse. When a horse is sweaty and it is running you can see their body working as hard as possible to get as much speed as it can possibly make. I believe in the gentleness of a horse. After seeing all of that power and strength that a horse can make, it can be one of the most gentle creatures on earth. They are so much more incredibly powerful than you, yet they let you pet them, ride them, and pick up their feet off the ground. Even though there could be so many threats and prey animals
