While most people know that the Hack division at a hunter show is a flat division where the horses are not asked to jump, many people do not understand the difference between the classes that are offered. In fact, if you watch the division you will often see horses ridden the same way through the same gaits through all the classes without any obvious differences at all. The hack division is usually split into three or four classes including the Pleasure Hack, the Road Hack, the Show Hack and the Hunter Hack. In each class the horse is judged according to a slightly different range of qualities and to be able to assess these abilities the judge may ask for a range of different things. Pleasure...

English riding is divided into a variety of disciplines, or styles or riding. From pleasure riding to competitive events, each of these disciplines is unique and has its own set of priorities and requirements. One of the most common disciplines in North America is the hunters. Once hunters were based on the sport of fox hunting. Several horses and riders would follow the hounds across country to chase down foxes. While this sport is alive and well, the modern show hunter is a completely different type of horse. The early show hunters were solid animals, suitable for both the ring and the fields. They were cherished for their versatility and athleticism. A good hunter was expected to be calm...

The Coggins' test is for a serious equine virus called equine infectious anemia (EIA). There is no vaccine or cure for EIA, which is also known as "swamp fever" because of the warm, wet regions of the United States in which it is more common. There are three stages to EIA. The acute stage is when the horse shows the symptoms of the disease, which include fever; listlessness; swelling in the chest, belly or legs; and no appetite. Although, while the infection progresses, he may not show any symptoms at all, and it may take over a month for the horse to test positive on the Coggins' test. According to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, between 30 and 50 percent of horses infected with EIA die...

There are different reasons for owning a horse and riding. Not that any are wrong, you need to decide for yourself what your motivation is. Do you just want to be carried around, do you have goals you want to reach or is it an art form for you. And as I have mentioned before, you need to find a horse that matches your desires. For those who just want an occasional ride to get outside and enjoy the day, you will need a very well broke older horse whose desire is to take life easy. For the goal setters you may want a little more challenge, a horse that has the desire to learn and advance with you. And for those who see riding as an art form, you will want to find a horse that has plenty of talent and...

When you wean your foal, he should already know how to lead. He should have the basics of being groomed in his stall, and should have been introduced to the vet and farrier. But what more can you do with him once his mother has been taken away? While a foal learns to lead with his mother, he may not yet be comfortable leading on his own. You will need to work with him to teach him to move forward when asked without having another horse to lead the way. By spending a few minutes a day leading him by himself, you can quickly help him to understand that he must go where you want him to, and not necessarily where the other horses are going. Because he learned to lead with his dam, it is very easy to...

#ffffff;" /> It is a story heard time and time again: “My horse is too old to be ridden any more. I’m offering him free to a good home. Great pasture pet, just needs a bit of TLC.” In this world where the cost of keeping a horse is constantly on the rise, few people can afford to keep more than one horse. When that horse gets too old to be useful, far too many people want to give him away, making room for a new, rideable animal. But even if you do give him away, someone will have to take care of him. Horses cost money, and there are so many free pasture ornaments out there that rescues are forced to turn away more horses than they could ever dream of taking in at any given time...

It's an area of the world still intact to its origins; where zones of jungle and lush greenery exceed the resorts and clubs; where horns and the fervent chatter of countless conversations subside to a steady Baru River wind. In Costa Rica, popular fare of its tourism does not revolve around Spring Break or the number of bold-name celebrities the country draws in; its tourists are ecologically-conscious and visit to embrace the natural attractions. One such vestige of our devolving planet is hidden an hour, by horseback, into Costa Rican jungle-Nauyaca Falls. Hidden in the hills between San Isidro el General and Dominical, it is the highest and most expansive of the country, with furious channels of...

I use to tell my kids, "Get yourself an elephant; people will look up to you." What I meant was that they should reach high goals that are difficult for many other people to obtain. I still tell my grandkids in college to take solid state physics type classes rather than basket weaving. That will cut down the competition. I might note that I took plenty of solid state physics classes when I was a graduate student and I sat in on a number when I was a college professor. All in all I didn't understand exactly what in the heck was going on. Maybe nobody does. I never used one thing from a solid state physics class in all my days in the professional world. But it did get me a Ph.D. and better working...

Historians like to compare the Lewis-and-Clark, 1804-1806, westward expedition to our modern-day astronauts first landing on the moon. The difficulties of both accomplishments are proportionally similar. However, the 30-tons of supplies gathered and taken on the Corps-of-Discovery expedition's 28-month perilous journey to the Pacific Ocean and back helped it to succeed immensely. In particular, the preplanned gifts for the Indian tribes helped the corps to deal with and honor them en route. Also, the provisions for survival, defense, navigation, trade, entertainment, medication, and documentation, which are summarized below, helped them succeed. Boats. One 55-ft keelboat (shallow-draft freight type...
