Mad Moose: Unusual Dressage Horse

Most of the time Crazy Horse always found a way to confuse enemies when they attacked. He came up with ideas or plans that created some of the things we use today. For example, He created a plan where the tribe would make dummies or decoys to confuse his opponent. When anyone caused a problem for the tribe, Crazy Horse stepped up as chief and always tried to handle the situation.

Although the exact date is unknown, Crazy Horse was born in 1840. He was born in Cha-O-Ha, which means in the wilderness or “among the trees”. For the first few years of his life, he was cared for by his mother, sister and all of the women of the community. The women taught him life lessons throughout his time while at the same time allowing him to teach himself lessons too. He always had someone close to him guide him. Crazy Horse was given the nickname ‘Light Haired One’ because unlike all the other boys in the Lakota tribe, his hair and skin were constantly getting lighter while he grew. Growing up, Crazy Horse was taught gentleness by the women in his community. He also taught himself the virtues of patience. Many lessons he learned were because he encountered them the hard way and not because he was told or showed by his loved ones.

Equine conformation evaluates the degree of correctness of a horse's overall structural correctness. Undesirable conformation can limit and restraint the amount of work and force you can apply to your horses upon showing, competing or just leisure activities. When inspecting a horse's conformation it is crucial to fracture things down into five main groups. The five main criteria include:balance, structural correctness, way of going, muscling, and breed/sex character.

May 10, 2006. It’s a warm foggy morning in Kentucky. In the early morning hours a racehorse, Mining My Own, went into labor. By nine that morning, she gave birth to a less than extraordinary bay stud. The breeders decided to name him, Mine That Bird. His owners never really thought the horse would amount to much, and as a yearling, decided to sell him for the low price of $9,500. MTB went to a race track in Canada and started his racing career and later returned to the United States. He won just enough races to qualify him for the biggest race in the thoroughbred industry, the Kentucky Derby. Mine That Bird was the 19th out of 20 horses in the race

The most efficient running machine that has evolved with many structural adaptions for untiring rapid progress on the ground so that they run long distances efficiently and changing of muscle size and grouping all suggests locomotor adaption (Williams, 2013).

Exploring the evolution of the horse can help to answer these questions.

     When it came to horses and how their racetracks should look “Jack” Keene knew what it was all supposed to be about. Keene spent more than 20 years of his life, and some $400,000 of his money, in trying to build a track and combination clubhouse and stable. He never intended for his fine establishment to be used for racing but rather to be a training center for his friends and their horses. Keene and his friends conducted private races of their own and merely just enjoyed the pure sport of racing. Little did he know, this great place would soon become one of world’s greatest racetracks. With this outlook, The Keeneland Association saw Keene’s property as a start to their dream.

After raiding the Snakes with High Back Bone his father bestowed a great honor to him, the name of his father, and his father before him, Crazy Horse. As his feats on the battlefield grew, so did his reputation and respect among the Lakota people. As Crazy Horse was raiding the Crows for nearly a month, the love of his heart was taken away from him by another. With his heart broken, it took a long time until he had gotten over it.

There isn't a lot of quarter horse racing in the race books of Nevada, at least not as much as thoroughbred and harness racing, but there is enough that I get an itch to make a wager. I spent some time working on this system and have found it to be profitable. It is not an angle that produces any high payouts, but it does have a high win percentage, so I'm cashing a lot of tickets.

Often referred to as the greatest racehorse that ever lived, in 1973, Secretariat broke track records in all three legs of the Triple Crown that remain unbroken 45 years later. Since 1919, in the past 99 years, there have only been twelve horses to win the Triple Crown, including three after Secretariat, but his records still stand. In June 1973, Secretariat, a huge chestnut colored thoroughbred, graced the cover of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated all at the same time, something that had not happened before and has not happened again since.

Indian horse by Richard Wagamese allowed me to open my eyes on the issues of Aboriginal people dealing with all the horrible pains and abusive trauma from the residential school. Before reading this book, I felt like I was educated well enough to understand how much aboriginal people suffered through generations and how much they have lost compared to what they had before. However, after reading this book I was able to see through First nation’s perspective and realized it's not just knowing about what aboriginal people have been through throughout the history. In this novel, the author allowed me to see Saul’s life transitioning ,where in the beginning saul was living the indigenous way of life with his family, but eventually forced to be

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.
