My Horse Research Paper

Equine conformation evaluates the degree of correctness of a horse's overall structural correctness. Undesirable conformation can limit and restraint the amount of work and force you can apply to your horses upon showing, competing or just leisure activities. When inspecting a horse's conformation it is crucial to fracture things down into five main groups. The five main criteria include:balance, structural correctness, way of going, muscling, and breed/sex character.

Wild horses and burros are starving in the ten western states consisting of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming. The Grazing service combined with General Land office creating the Bureau of Land Management. The Bureau of Land Management or BLM manages, protects, and controls the wild horse and burro population under the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act. This law authorizees the BLM to regulate the population to sustain a healthy environment. The wild horses and burros are found in herd management areas across the ten western states. The estimated total wild horses and burros in California is 8,316 with the maximum limit of 2,200. In Nevada, 34,531 wild horses and burros are

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.

Throughout history, humans have depended on the horse. Horses have contributed to the growth of humankind as transportation, farm workers, and battle steeds. They have been trained to support humans in many ways. When did this relationship begin? At what point did the horse become a vital part of human society? Exploring the evolution of the horse can help to answer these questions.

All great legends in history must be honored for their sacrifice and leadership that marks a path in recent history. This is why one of the most patriotic and legendary warriors of the Old West known as Crazy Horse is still considered a historical symbol. Crazy Horse was a true American Indian whose independent and fierce spirit during a battle aids as an example of how a leader ought to be. His journey is a celebration of his time and his legacy. Let us reminisce about this era and how Crazy Horse arose to be a fearless Lakota leader.

The Quarter horse is a common breed that does many different kinds of sports. The main sports that the Quarter horse is found to compete in is rodeo events, horse racing, and some jumping events. These horses are very common in the United States especially for these different sports that they do (Blocksdorf, 2018).

A Determined Era The American West was full of grit, workers with sweat on their brows, and determination in their hearts. Everything was done by hand or on the back of a horse, and the only law around was the gun. Between the years of 1800 to 1870, Americans embraced this lifestyle with full force, and were ready to face any obstacles that stood in their way. The country’s population was growing, and settlers were moving west as fast as the government expanded the nation’s borders.

Crazy Horse is apart of the Oglala Lakota tribe and is from Rapid City, SD.  He lived from 1840 to 1877.  Crazy Horse is most famous for “Battle of Little Bighorn” and resisting being put on a reservation.  During this time he was constantly running and fighting. But, he surrendered eventually.  Of course not by choice though.

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

The American Quarter Horse is one of the oldest recognized breeds of horses. By the late 17th century, these horses were being raced successfully over quarter mile courses that is why they are called the American Quarter Horse. The Quarter Horse was a breed for performance and had considered thoroughbred blood as well as traits of other lines. In the early 19th century the Quarter Horses were overshadowed by thoroughbred which ran better over longer distances. But, Quarter Horses soon found a new acceptances in the western and southern United States as a stock horse.

The American Quarter Horse is America’s most popular breed of horse and also the second most popular in the world. The American Quarter horse was introduced the the late 1600’s and have spread to every continent in the world. The American Quarter Horse is the result of breeding horses that were brought to England over to the United States and were bred with the horses of the indians. Since the late 1600’s over 3.8 billion American Quarter Horses owned globally with about 74,000 registrations a year.

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.

In an effort to compare the different writing styles between a fiction and scholarly article, this student decided to compare a story published by theOnion titled “Pentagon Holds Gala to Celebrate 25 years of bombing Iraq” verses an article published by the NASW journal Social Work titled “Psychosocial Equine Program for Veterans”. To best illustrate the similarities and differences, this student will first recognize and substantiate the points of similarity followed by those of difference.

Ever since I was a child I knew that I wanted to work with animals. Horses, in particular, have always fascinated me. After much begging, pleading, years of convincing, and always working hard to save up money, I convinced my parents to allow me to buy a horse. To me, Indie was the most beautiful quarter horse I could have ever dreamed of getting. Since our purchase of Indie, we have acquired another horse, Sherman, and a pony, Tucker. Although the horses have always been hard work, they were worth every sweaty hot summer evening of mucking out the stalls and frigid winter mornings of carrying water to the trough in order to avoid freezing our hoses. After all, I used to dream of being a veterinarian and helping all kinds of animals in some way.
