Ban the Big Lick
The Tennessee Walking Horse is a beautiful, gaited breed of horse that is celebrated for its' distinctive, high-stepping paces. They're commonly shown in North America in special Tennessee Walking Horse classes, to determine which horse has the nicest paces. However, one class, known as The Big Lick, has a dark, not-so-secret history of corruption and abuse.

The Gift the Horses Give Us
I am outside on an unusual task at an unusual time. Horse lunch was served hours ago, and Kasper and Emma have just finished picking at the last danglers of hay in their nylon nets. Emma’s net lays disheveled in the paddock sand, since apparently horses can magically undo fairly stiff quick links hung on eyebolts.

Leather Halters Supplies And Equipment
Leather Halter is the oldest variety of halters. It is an important part of tack items. It provides a classy look to the horse. Halters are also known as headcollar or sometimes as headstall too. Halters are usually plain in design and used as a piece of working equipment on a daily basis. It consists of a noseband and headpiece that buckles around the horse's head and allows the horse to be tied with lead. To tie the horse with a halter, a lead line, lead shank or lead rope is required. But sometimes they are customized in a designer leather halter with nameplate.

HORSES FOREVER
Horseshoes are U-molded metal plate by which their hooves are protected from decay hard or harsh surfaces. Most horseshoes are produced using iron or steel. Some are aluminum, elastic, plastic, rawhide or a combination of materials. A farrier is the person who makes horseshoes and their nails or pastes them on the HORSE's hooves. Horseshoes are very important for the horses. Utilizing nails doesn't hurt the HORSE, on the grounds that the external a portion of the foot can't detect torment. Farriers use nails (like those presented above) to fasten the horseshoe to the foot. Like we said previously, ponies' hooves are produced using an equal material as your nail and, somewhat like once you cut your nails, the ponies don't feel anything while joining the horseshoe to the foot. When the nails are gotten through the edges of the foot, the farrier twists them over, all together that they make a sort of snare. they will at that point document the sharp focuses that are left and a neighborhood of the foot to ensure a legit fit. since the foot develops out it'll in the end cover the shoe which is the way you perceive once they should be re-shod.

I’ve Been Waiting For You All Along
I was sick of riding around in circles in the small indoor arena, staring at the weathered, wooden walls and the dirt like footing. As I tacked up Jinx his autumn coat stood up reddish. brown, soft and fluffy, reminding me of my favorite Gund stuffed bear I had growing up.

HORSES FOREVER
The Palomino horses are one of the most favorite breeds among the royalty, thanks to their golden glistening coats and beautiful blonde manes. They are revered highly by the horse-lovers for their brilliant colors and hues since ancient times. They are all around the world and it should not come as a surprise to see them winning accolades at local horse shows, taking their place at the center stage among high-wigs, and even running wild among mustangs.

Life to 9th November 2020
As late as Saturday morning here in the UK there were indicators about the result of the US Presidential election, but nothing confirmed. One UK news service gave Joe Biden 254 electoral college votes and the incumbent 214. It still could have gone either way. Then during the mid- afternoon news was coming out that Joe Biden had effectively become the President Elect when Pennsylvania was called for him by the American news networks putting him over the 270 college votes required to win the election.

The All Alluring Equine
Beauty is found in the alluring language of the equine. There is something so precious about the serendipitous way in which horses come to choose their people, drawn to one another by an inexplicable force. Imagine the one thing that makes you most happy, just absorbing it, and becoming part of it. I once wrote a poem about what would become an actual moment in time for me years later.

A Horse Named Fire
My skin tells a story. Scars, flaws, and tattoos mark out the highs and lows of my life in a web of art and pain. Ask me about the two inch scar on my thigh and I’ll tell you about a dog on Easter Sunday when I was eight. Ask about the line at the base of my left thumb and I’ll tell you about my favorite mug - still missed - and how it left me with a permanent reminder of its breaking. But, of all the tales I could tell, there is one that marks out the steps taken between the child I used to be and the woman I became.

Be Prepared to Protect Your Horse From Biting Flies Year-Round
Most horses spend quite a lot of time in the pasture, where they can graze, exercise, and play. This pasture time is important for them, vital to their health and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, being outside also leaves them more susceptible to pests such as bot flies and biting flies that can make them miserable, cause skin irritation, and even cause health issues.
