The Horse in Art The horse has been a subject in art since the cave paintings of prehistoric man and has remained so until the present day, largely due to the royal connection with horses and the preoccupation with equine sport, particularly racing.

My main career that I have wanted for some time is to be an equine rehabilitator, which is where I use therapy to help horses. I have seen a horse that couldn’t even move and within about 6 months of hard work, it recovered and is now living its life as a horse.

that the equid from which modern horses are derived resemble the modern przewalski horse.

“No horse should be made to suffer for a blue ribbon - it is time that this cruelty stops for good.” The exaggerated leg motion of a horse's gait is called the “Big Lick”. This gait is mostly shown on the Tennessee Walking Horse; a horse known for its gait. However, this motion is usually unnatural and is created by pouring, injecting, or in any way applying illegal acids onto the skin above the hoof. This is called soring.

Currently, “…92% of Thoroughbreds running in North America race on furosemide”, a medicine that significantly reduces exercise-induced

The American Albino can be a Quarter horse, Arabian, Thoroughbred or Morgan if they meet the American Albino color requirements. American Albinos

Inbreeding vs. Line breeding Why do people inbreed and line breed horses when even in the wild animals have mechanisms to avoid inbreeding. Why should people be able to inbreed animals when it’s illegal for humans to do so? Is line breeding the same as inbreeding? Why should inbreeding and line breeding be avoided? Inbreeding and line breeding are the same, because you are breeding the same bloodlines together, and depending on what you are trying to accomplish, can or cannot be successful. And

also known as selective breeding. Artificial selection is an expensive process used in domestic dogs, cats, horses and cattle to increase the frequency of desired traits. This essay will argue that selective breeding is not supported for three main reasons; firstly, there are the risk of inbreeding, secondly, the use of artificial selection lessens the amount of variations that exist in a gene pool and lastly, the quality of life is often reduced due to selective breeding. Initially, the risk of

Starting a Horse Under Saddle before the Age of Three Starting horses under saddle have been a question many people and trainers have asked for years. There are many benefits to starting a horse before the age of three, but greater drawbacks as well. A horse at the age of three is not skeletally mature enough to carry the weight of a human without major side effects.

Introduction- Selective breeding, also known as artificial selection, is the process which humans use to create new organisms and the desirable characteristics. This process is done when human/s bring together two animals (such as a cow, dogs or race horses), whom have different characteristics and traits, to breed an offspring which will have part male, and part female characteristics and genetics. People use selective breeding because they own the animals, therefore they get to do what they want

are also “seasonally polyestrous,” meaning they have multiple heat cycles throughout the spring and summer. The natural breeding season for horses in the Northern Hemisphere is the spring or summer. Light is the controlling factor in causing mares to come into heat in early spring. Estrus is another term used to define being in heat. Mares will cycle several times during the breeding season if they do not conceive and become pregnant. The most intense estrus behavior occurs when the mare is most sexually

Thousands of healthy equines are sent to the slaughterhouse every year. Most of these horses can be rehomed. Horses are being slaughtered in increasing numbers and incredibly cruel ways.

I have two off-the-track thoroughbreds that could have gone to the slaughterhouse if we didn’t give them homes. Instead of abandoning and slaughtering equines, individuals should rehome or rescue
