My Horse When I was a little girl I always wanted a horse. Finally when I was ten I got my first horse. Dad surprised me with her. Her name is Penelope. I was really excited when I got Penelope. It took us awhile to name her. My dad picked Penelope and Alec and I agreed it was a good name. Getting Penelope used to me was kind of easy. She is stubborn but so am I. The first time I rode her I rode bare back. It was about two or more weeks after we got her when I got on. Some people were surprised I could get on her. When we got a saddle I had to wait awhile to ride with a saddle because we didn't have everything. When I finally got to ride with a saddle it was

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.

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.

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
In the fictional biography, The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History, one of the first and most important boons that Crazy Horse receives is his name. This is important because it is one of the first of the many distinctions he receives for his skill and bravery out on the battlefield. It also signifies the end of his boyhood as Light Hair and the start of his journey as Crazy Horse. Most of all, though, it is the gift that no one can take away from him and something that will continue to be his even after death. All of his material possessions are long since lost to time but his name still lives on and will continue to live on as long as he is remembered.

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.
