Ever since I was a little girl, I have been interested in horses. I believe I have inherited this interest and passion for them because my father loves them as well. My father has had horses in his life ever since he was 13 years old, and he never seems to get enough of them because he just really appreciates them. I grew up loving them because he taught my sisters and I how to care for them and how they can be a person’s best friend. The first horse with who I established a special bond with was named Chocolate because his coating was a very dark brown color and he was very sweet, at least with me. He was a very intimidating animal because, unless it was me trying to touch him, he would not let any person touch him without it turning into
Some people think of them as animals. Some people think of them as objects. Some people think of them as friends. Then there are the few who think of them as family. Horses have always been like family to humans, except sometimes closer. There are many benefits to owning or being around horses. They come in many different colors. There is a multitude of breeds, also. Additionally, they have a long history with humans. Horses have unique behaviors. Showing horses has been the past-time or even career of many people. Furthermore, caring for horses can be a handful, but is definitely rewarding. Finally, riding horses is not just a hobby or a sport, but an action of your heart. Horses are wondrous creatures that have lived with man or
Have you ever wanted something so badly, just to be left in pure disappointment? So have I. That something was the all-around buckle in the senior horse division at the 2015 Finney County Fair. Everything was going as planned until the third to last event. All of a sudden..I guess you will just have to keep reading to find out the rest.
I come from a family of horse people. My grandfather had Tennessee Walkers. There were horses on the farm where I grew up in Marianna. Horses are cool.
Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t think you could do it? Well I have many times and I’m going to write about a time during Rodeo when I didn’t think I was going to be able to do well in goat tying.
Horses have injured me, made me cry, made me swear, pissed me off until my breaking point, made me do stupid things, made me hate other people, made my heart break, put my heart back together, helped me when I was alone, been there when I did not need them, pushed me, made me work harder, faster and better than anyone else. They made me jealous, made me self-centered, made me happy, abused me, used me, tore me apart, healed me, helped me, loved me, protected me, made me laugh, helped me, put me down, made me a better person, made me want to help others. In every aspect of who I am, horses are there. They have made me the person I am today. If you like me, thank them, if you hate me well to
Most history classes teach children about how the Spanish brought horses to America and introduced them to Native Americans. That’s usually the end of the story. What’s not talked about is the Native peoples’ reactions to these beasts of nature. How did they feel about horses? What did they think of them? How did Native people become some of the best riders? How did they tame wild horses? How were horses incorporated into their culture? How much of an impact did horses really have on Native American culture? These are the questions that aren’t answered in textbooks in schools. What I wish to explore is the bond between Native people and their equine companions. I want to explore how their world
My favorite memory with my horse Shadow is when we qualified for state. It was really exciting to go down to the state fair and ride in the coliseum. The first year we went down to the state fair it wasn't the best year since it was our first time. This year we did much better and even got a ribbon. It's fun to do 4-H with my horse because I can ride them and compete. Last year my mom got a new horse named Tanner. Tanner was mom's shooting horse and mom said I couldn't ride him. When I started riding Tanner I wanted him to become my game horse like Shadow. When my mom had her accident at Two Harbours she couldn't ride anymore. Since then, Tanner has become my horse and I am working on training him to become become a game horse. I don't know what I would do without my horses. My mom said that when I got home from China and we got to the house, my mom went out to see one of her horses. I was little when we were there and I reached out and touched the horse. Since then I have had a connection with the
I chose to sell her because she could make a little kid just like she made me happy. It was the hardest thing but knowing that her being happy was the best thing I could do and not just keep her just so I can look at her every morning and being selfish. After I sold her I stopped riding horses because I didn't think I could go without her or ride any other horse. When I turned about 12 I started to ride again. Then I started to rodeo again. That's when I started to goat tie and I used my brothers horse Toad because I didn't have a horse that wouldn't stop when I went to get off. When finals came for AFR toad got sick and one night he got bad and we took him to a vet and he died of a heart attack before they could even do anything to help him. In the winter my aunt Stacy gave me a Colt named Buddy, he was broke, all I had to do was train him. So I work and work on him training him. When AFR started back up not only did he get better but so did I and I learned a lot of stuff from him and he learned a lot from me. After a year I finally had my own horse. He might not be like my old horse Maddy but that's
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
It was thirteen years ago that horseback riding was first introduced to me. One day, my friend asked me to go to camp with her over Thanksgiving break. It turned out to be the horse stables on Fort Gordon military base that hosted horse camps during the school breaks. I loved horses but had not been around them much. After weeks of trying to convince my mother that I was old enough, she agreed let me attend. The nerves kicked in shortly after roll was taken and we got to pick which horse we wanted. I did not know the horses personally so, my friend, Emily, recommended Hershey, an old bay mare with a crooked white stripe on her face.
Throughout my life I have taken pride in my caring for others. I believe I got this gift from my parents who are both ministers. I love working not only with children but also with elderly and the less fortunate. I have put in hundreds of hours of volunteer work, varying from manual labor to playing games in a nursing home. Something else I inherited from my parents is the gene of competitiveness. In everything I do I am competitive and must win. For example, it is only the 3rd week of college at Northwestern and I already like to see my grades higher than my friend’s. In sports, particularly team sports, I must win. To tie this trait of mine with my love of serving others ends up in a mess of being the
Bang my eyes opened as I leaped out of bed. I ran at full speed to my brother's room and woke Miguel up and screamed Happy Birthday to him. We went and changed and went on our iPads before our parents woke up. It was all a hurry as we looked like buzzing bees zooming through the house, at around 10 past 9 we ran out of the house full of eager and excitement. Sitting in the car, we drove along streets, highways and whinny roads but when I though we would ever make it to the horse riding we reached. I hopped out of the car ready to get on the Horse but realised the first group wasn't back yet. The three of us played basketball, got a helmet and got ready.
Anglo American hired Cynthia Carroll as chief executive officer in hopes that she would improve the overall performance of the company. Failing to meet their expectations would almost guarantee her time at the company would be short lived. As CEO she must juggle the interests of her stakeholders and make decisions that benefit the company. It can prove to be a difficult task as certain stakeholders hold more power and have more influence when it comes to making these decisions. In this paper I will be using stakeholder theory to discuss how Anglo American’s stakeholders influence Carroll’s decision. Carroll is well aware of the dangers her employees face, however she must decide whether it is in her best interest to increase safety or not. While increasing safety measures may make the company look better, it will come at great costs. Although Cynthia Carroll is facing some opposition from it’s the South African government and its employees, when taking in the interests of all the company’s stakeholders it is clear that she must keep the mines up and running without taking more safety precautions.
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.
The Indian state, while ostensibly secular, nevertheless has institutionally always been set up to intervene in religious affairs. The Indian constitution “enshrines the right to individual freedom of religion, [but] also empowers the state to intervene in Hindu religious institutions.” (Sen 16)
