How to fall off a horse - Part 1

Want to know how to fall off a horse? Well I don’t recommend jumping off of, or out of, your normal transportation. However, sometimes there is a need to dismount quickly. Riders can also have “unscheduled” dismounts. Here, we will discuss both.

AN INTENTIONAL DISMOUNT

In the case of an intentional dismount, (also known as an emergency dismount) here are a few guidelines to use.

-Take your feet out of the stirrups

-Drop the reins

-Put both hands low on the horse’s neck, or else on the withers

-Swing legs forward, then back again as you lean on your hands

-Use the horse’s neck or withers as a pivot point, and jump off swinging one leg over the horse as if doing an Read the rest of this entry »

The Horse Has No Understanding in Bible and Quran!

The Horses are mentioned in the Bible 175 times and in the Quran three times, i.e., the Bible cites the Horses 58 times more than the Quran does.

Furthermore, the total words of the Bible are 788,280 while the total words of the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible has the likely of more than 10 times than the Quran word-wise to talk about the Horses. In addition, the Bible has the prospective of more than 58 times than the Quran topic-wise to utter about the Horses.

The Horses in the Bible:

What the Lord says about the Horses?

• I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured Horses. Read the rest of this entry »

Equestrian Accidents: Has Falling Off Your Horse Become A Bad Habit?

Recently, I came across a tread in a forum that stopped me dead in my tracks. It was about falling off. One contributor complained that she fell of regularly, sometimes even several times during a lesson. I was amazed; I couldn’t quite figure it out.

Was she much younger than me to be able to allow herself the luxury of falling out with such regularity and risk severe injury? Was she very good at falling, like a martial arts expert, so that she never got injured? Was each fall a real fall, or was she exaggerating the frequency and severity of her falls? I have seen “falls” that can at best accurately be described as slip-offs, where the only Read the rest of this entry »

Poetry: Hate

Hatred lives on the far side from love

In its own darker land

Its own weak minions are anger and fear

On the other hand

The bright land of love is too warm to live

During all of our time

We naturally shrink from love’s hot lamp

To a more moderate clime

Where hatred’s foul spies, anger and fear

Come lurking slow

Making inroads to love’s sunny, bright land

To bring us low

Anger and fear show their disguise

In emotions abstract

They wallow in us towards love’s own demise

Through trespass attack

As abstract emotions, anger and fear

Need physical carriers

For only through us can they rail down love’s path

As hatred’s own farriers

Love shines our shadow to the fair side of Read the rest of this entry »

Short stories: Childrens stories - Part 3

THAT JESTER IS NO FOOL

In a small, little-known country, King Clovis sat in the throne room of his small castle.

“I’m bored,” he said to the boy who trimmed his toenails. “I wish my court jester had not quit his job.”

“Perhaps you could place an ad for a new one, Sire,” the boy said.

“That’s a fine idea!” Clovis said.

Later that day the boy nailed King Clovis’s ad to a tree in the forest that surrounded the castle. The next day they heard a knock at the castle gate. There stood a jester. The boy led him to King Clovis’s throne room.

“King Clovis,” the jester addressed the king, “I am Pepin the Jester, here to apply for the job.”

“Come in, come in. Read the rest of this entry »

Recommended vaccinations for your horse

Just like humans, horses have a vaccination schedule recommended to protect them from nasty diseases and keep them in optimal health.

The types of vaccinations your horse will need depends a lot upon whether your horse will be exposed to other horses with unknown histories from outside his environment and how often his exercise paddock is cleaned. These variables are described as open herd (the most exposure to foreign horses as at horse shows and county fairs), semi-open herd (if you stable your horse elsewhere where the stable keeps record of the vaccination and deworming schedules of the horses that come in), and closed herd (your horse is rarely in contact with other horses and his paddock is kept clean).

Horse riding: Function of the neck versus a frame

Dressage is a most pleasant art to watch. The horses are often well-muscled and round, their heads held proudly on arching necks. It looks like a dance where rider and horse become one; and it is. This connection between bodies and minds is a constant effort. The rider must always respect the horse’s body and allow him to perform while creating the guidelines, and the horse should be willing. That is key. When you ride your horse respectfully, he will want to perform for you.

Too often, the aesthetics are taken for granted, and the importance of the process is forgotten. Riders of all ages and disciplines will speak of that beautiful frame’ that their horse can or cannot do with Read the rest of this entry »

Cowboy humor: True stories about horses - Part 1

I didn’t give my horse the name Priscilla. That’s a little pretentiously prissy for me. She was given that unique name because she was born on Elvis’ birthday. I would have named her Jessica. In honor of Jessica Simpson. My horse is a Palomino and built like a brick bomb shelter. What do they say about a good Quarter Horse? Big eyes and big butts, standing like their front feet are in a rut. Priscilla is an Impressive horse, yes she’s also impressive. I’m not saying that to impress you. The famous Quarter Horse, Impressive passed a hereditary gene with the acronym HYPP. Nail to the quick, it’s a potentially lethal muscle disease.

So there I was, being dragged Read the rest of this entry »
