The best breed for beginner horse riders - Part 9
PRETTY IS AS PRETTY DOES!
Every horse-lover has a favorite breed, and each will answer this question differently, based on personal experience and hearsay.
FORGET BREED BIASES!
Rumors fly about hot-headed Arabians, temperamental Appaloosas, exploding Standardbreds, and more. Others extol the meek Morgan, the quiet quarterhorse, and the ever-peaceful paint horse. Don’t believe them!
Breed biases run deep among horsey folks, and they are often grounded in reality, but individual horses may surprise us!
Contrary to popular generalizations about these breeds, I have ridden crazy quarterhorses, peppy ponies, hyperactive drafts, and fiery Freesians. On the other hand, I have enjoyed pleasant rides on affable Arabians, gentle Saddlebreds, and affectionate thoroughbreds. I once had a delightful, though remarkably slow, ride on a rescued wild Mustang!

Whenever you take a horse from someone for no monetary exchange, I will guarantee that you will immediately incur some kind of expense, be it veterinary bills, farrier bills, the needed purchase of equipment or even the transportation of the horse from its current home to yours and of course as soon as you do get it home, it will want feeding.
Having said that, I still think that you cannot dismiss the “Free” horse out of hand.
There are many reasons that people want to give their horses Read the rest of this entry »

No CommentsWhat if You Get Bumped From Your Flight?
What does getting bumped mean?
- “Getting bumped” is the common term most people use when they are denied boarding on a flight because there is no room for them on the plane even though they have a reservation. The Airlines often “overbook” and sell more than 100% of a particular flight’s seats because they know that some of the people with reservations won’t show up for the flight. Sometimes everyone does show up and this means that there won’t be enough seats to go around and someone must be left behind. Those left behind have been “bumped” from the flight and will have to take a later flight.
