Being prepared for expenses as demanded by the estate itself and your horses...

Can you remember what it was like to be a kid and really, really want something? To feel like all your future happiness hinged on your ability to get your hands on that one item, be it a pony, a bicycle or a comic book? To look forward to the next gift-giving holiday with hope and worry? To empty your piggy bank, count, recount and calculate how many more months allowance you still needed? Of course you can. And you can probably remember exactly what it was that you were saving up for. For me, it was a horse. And I'm certain that you can remember whether or not you ever managed to get it. Me? I didn't.

Imagine donning your equestrian riding apparel, your riding helmet, and your horse riding boots and sitting astride one of those sleek, gentle giants for the very first time. The perspective is amazing and the communication that occurs between you and your horse can be an incredible experience.

That is also why the proper equestrian riding apparel, helmet, and horse riding boots are at least as important as finding the best trainer. There are...

I don't want to drop the ball on trying to take some course at an Equestrian College. The online college offered at the University of Phoenix is on my "short list" of things to do. Looking into the Colorado State University Equine School is as well. That's close enough to home that I wouldn't have to impose on anyone. It's impressed me as I've looked at different Equestrian Colleges the principles and standards they espouse. For instance, the Houghton NY College Equestrian Center has a mission statement that says, "To equip students in classical horsemanship (encompassing theory, philosophy, riding, the teaching of riding, and horse care) and to cultivate Christ-like character, enabling them to...

Once you've made the decision to buy yourself a Haflinger Horse, you want to keep one thing in mind. You can only hurt yourself by hurrying. Actually, that's pretty good advice for purchasing any breed of horse. Horses have a long life span.

In many ways, buying a Haflinger mare or stallion has a lot in common with marriage. Rushing into the process is a surefire recipe for disaster! If you're serious, you want to find the perfect mate - and that's just not a search that...

Dosage is a statistical tool used by horse breeders and handicappers to predict the future performance of a racing thoroughbred. First, the chefs-de-race It's all based on a list that works like a "Who's Who" of thoroughbred breeding. About a hundred years ago, a French thoroughbred racing scholar named Lt. Col. J.J. Vuillier conducted a study of the top runners in England and France. Vuillier noticed that certain stallions kept appearing on those pedigrees. He studied their records and determined which characteristics they passed on to later generations. He called these stallions the chefs-de-race or "chiefs of racing." What's more, he noticed that every decade or so, new stallions showed up on the...

It might be the most effective way of finding a new job but without some contacts you really are going to struggle.

Because article writing is an excellent way to drive potential customers to your website or sales page, obviously the more articles that you can contribute, the better. But, the writers of articles are human (hopefully) (usually!) and suffer therefore from human traits such as fatigue or just 'not being in the mood' As far as fatigue is concerned, the answer is simple, take some time out and do other things, or just rest. 'Not being in the mood' however is different. 'Not being in the mood' probably indicates that you can't think what you are going to write about, and are therefore tempted to not bother. However,if you have a stunning idea for an article, then you normally cannot wait to get the...

What are trotting poles? Trotting poles are often a set of 4-6 showjumping rails that are laid out at ground level. Generally, they are used to trot over.

Horses have an interesting history. While many other equestrian competitions have a deep history, jumping a bit newer. The first early shows were just at that turn of the century. Prior to that, there really had not been a need for horses to jump as there were very few fences. During the 1700's fences started going up in England and horses that were following fox hounds grew a need to become jumpers. Once it was recognized the ability and athleticism that horses had, horse jumping started being considered a sport, not only to follow the fox hounds but on its own as well. European training schools began teaching jumping and as saddles and stirrups progressed, it was further obvious the abilities of...

A lot of dressage riders aren't clear on the difference between flexion at the jaw and flexion at the poll, and how to ask their horses for each of these positions. Keep in mind that a dressage horse can flex three ways-to the left, to the right, and "in". When a horse flexes to the left or right, he's flexing at the poll. When he does this, you'll just see his inside or outside eye or nostril. I call this position +1 or -1 because you're bringing his head 1 inch to the inside or the outside of where his head would be positioned if his chin was directly in front of the crease in the middle of his chest. You'll ask for flexion at the poll to the left or right with an indirect rein aid. To give an...

In the early 1800s, Narragansett Pacers and Canadian Pacers were crossbred by breeders in the U.S. state of Tennessee while looking for a horse that could handle the hilly terrain of the area. Confederate Pacers and Union Trotters were added to the gene pool during the Civil War, creating the sturdy Southern Plantation Horse, which was also known as the Tennessee Pacer. Thoroughbred, Standardbred, Morgan, and American Saddlebreds were later added to refine and add stamina to this gaited horse. In 1885, a colt named Black Allen out of the Hambletonian family of Standardbreds and a Morgan mare was born. He became the foundation sire of the Tennessee Walking Horse, also known as the Tennessee Walker...

For heat dissipation and body cooling, a horse trotting at 11.2 mph loses about 3.3 gallons of sweat per hour under moderate conditions. The salts/electrolytes sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium are also lost with this loss of fluid. These electrolytes are responsible for the transfer of water through cell membranes, for nerves to fire and muscles to contract. Large losses of electrolytes can result in several neuromuscular and systemic disturbances including muscle cramping, tying up, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (thumps) and systemic alkalosis. Our goal as the equine caretaker is to prevent electrolyte imbalance and dehydration in the performance/stressed horse thru proper...
