cember 2015 Miniature Guide Horses 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 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.

¨Hopefully I get a midget horse¨ I thought as we pulled into the ranch. As I opened the car door, I heard the thunderous THUMP THUMP of horses hooves. ¨Oh God¨ I thought as my stomach turned into a knotted ball. Soon we were greeted by one of the ranch hands and were taken to a dinky shed to get suited up and sign waivers. Then came saddling time. We were taken to the horse pen where we were greeted by the stench of horse manure. I spied out a smaller horse around five to six feet tall and hoped to get that one as my horse. Shure enough my grandma got that horse as she is the shortest. I spied out yet another horse on the shorter side and hoped to get that one. My turn to get saddled came next and sure enough, with my luck, I get the second

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

Growing up I was always around horses. My mom got into horses as a teenager, and they never left her heart. The minute I was born I was put up in the saddle. Where most families would bond by going swimming, hiking, or to watch a movie, my family bonded by going horseback riding. (Or as we call it, trail riding.) The first horse I remember riding was a beautiful mare (girl horse) named Angel. She was a sweet old white quarter horse who took care of everyone who rode her. I went on many trail rides with her and when she passed away I learned at the early age of six that people’s deaths aren’t the only deaths we morn. Eventually I moved on and started riding a new horse whose name was Tanka.

I didn 't have a split second to be scared, it just happened. My feet slipped out of their place in the saddle like they had been used to

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.

First, getting a call from my cousin about my first horse show. One Saturday morning I received a call from my cousin telling me to go get the horses and load them up we have a race to attend. As I think to myself I’ve seen my uncle and cousin load the horse on the trailer, but I’ve not master that skill yet, so I gave it a try and I succeed. That morning I couldn’t stop smiling I was about to attend my first race, and not just that I succeed with catching and loading the horses. I was so happy that I called and told my uncle on my accomplishment. Catching and loading the horses is something I’m good at and enjoy doing when it’s time for a show or we just going for a joy ride.

What motivated you to do physical therapy? There is nothing better than the breeze in your face as you and your 4-legged creature move as one. His strength, body, and size is much dominant to ours and at first, you may be scared to control a creature that is so much bigger and powerful than you. That 's exactly how I felt at the age 13 when I visited the saddle hill ranch in my hometown, Bafut, Cameroon. Once I got on the horse, I was very nervous because I feared I will get tossed off but once I tried to get the feel for the horse’s movement and moved my body, it felt totally different. I could feel my muscles in my legs and back like I had done squats for two days. It felt more like I had done a whole body workout. I was really fascinated

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

When was the last time you went horseback riding? If you are not sure, that means it has been too long! Imagine a day spent with each member of your family in the saddle of their horse as you explore lush plains, crystal-clear streams, and picturesque mountains on one of Alaska Horse Adventures famous trail rides. You need not worry about having any past experience

It was my first horse show. The crowd clapped and cheered as the first competitor entered the course. I felt like the time wasn’t passing, I could only see one competitor entering and never going out, but I knew the time was getting closer. I got on the horse and rode rapidly to the paddock. I was nervous, I could feel butterflies in the stomach, but I knew I could finish that course. So I started trotting, then galloping, and I went to the paddock jump.

New things to me always scared me away, and riding a bike was no exception at all. After I changed into my brother’s old racing clothes, I went outside to get on my bike. I was struggling to sit on the seat of the bike and keep it balanced. After, I finally got adjusted comfortably my father came over and handed me a helmet. He helped me get to the end of our bumpy driveway.

Jake gave me a boost up. The horse bucked lightly and stomped his feet, a not so gentle reminder that he was no docile gelding. I'd ridden stallions before but that was with daddy by my side and I had been
