America's Endangered Wild Horses
In the states of Nevada, Wyoming and Colorado, several times a year, the Bureau of Land Management conducts a wild horse and burro roundup. Using helicopters and flying low enough to nearly touch the backs of their prey, they herd thousands of these horses and burros into chutes that were previously set up, funneling the mares, stallions, and foals into a holding pen. Herds and family groups are broken up, many animals are injured, some even die during this desperate run. The remainder are th...
The Power of Horses
When I hear someone speak of their Horse Therapy, or listen to remarkable stories of interaction with horses, they usually say that horses mirror us-they feel what we feel. I've been told they are perfect for therapy. Horses are majestic, strong creatures that somehow seem to care and feel for humans in need. Although huge and powerful, they have been used to help even the smallest and most vulnerable of humans. I was so affected emotionally and impressed with this wonderful work that I wan...
Horses for courses
There's nothing quite like a good quote from a knowledgeable individual who knows how to get their point across. I will be continuously updating this collection of quotes as I find new ones. The quotes I have gathered already range from the ancient words of Xenephon (albeit in translation) to those of modern trainers of today such as Charles de Kunffy. One of my absolute favourite sources of quotes is Franz Mairinger's excellent book - Horses are made to be horses. Are you ready to be inspi...
Guide to Horse Breeds
Welcome to my lense The A to Z Guide to Horses for Kids of all Ages Horses and people have been bound together for many, many years - perhaps even thousands of years... In times past, horses would have been seen as just another food source. But once people learnt to ride, this opened up a whole new world, the horse was a fast means of transport and for hundreds of years a new relationship between man and horse was forged. There are over 150 different horse breeds and each of these is the r...
Meet Taya
She may be the youngest of the Girls, but Taya has rightfully earned the title of Goodwill Ambassador at Epic Farms. Always the first to greet company, she is friendly and outgoing and just adores attention. She enjoys being where the action is, and remained in the middle of everything during most of the construction on the new stalls. She also developed a fascination with the auger (I never did figure that one out). Her biggest flaw is her obsession with shoelaces: she is fascinated by them...
Wanna know a secret?
It's hard to believe, but at one time I used to think that horses were pretty much similar to cows as far as personalities went, (although I knew there were some fundamental differences). I mean I could see that some horses were more spirited or stubborn or friendlier than others, but I didn't really look too far beyond the basics. Ha - wasn't I just way off base? Horses have personalities; all right, wait - make that big, fat PERSONALITIES with all of the likes, dislikes and idiosyncrasies ...
Are you a horse lover?
Horses are easy to like if you can get past their itimidating size. They are very friendly and curious and generally like most people. They are good at reading body language, so if you are afraid of them, they are likely to be afraid of you. Some horse lovers think of them as pets, like one of their dogs or cats - the only difference is that they can't live in your house (usually!). Because horses are rarely used as a piece of equipment necessary for transportation or farming any more, they...
