The Heart Of The Thoroughbred Horse Can Only Be Found In Competition by Robb Fowler |
| |
|
If you have ever watched the Kentucky Derby or other events in
racing's Triple Crown, you have had the opportunity to see
Thoroughbred horses. If you're not a racing fan, but watch the
news on a regular basis - particularly after the 2006 running of
the Kentucky Derby and on through the rest of the year, you're
likely familiar with the story of Barbaro, the 2006 Derby winner
that was put down after shattering a hind leg during the 2006
Preakness Stakes: the beautiful, calm Thoroughbred Horse was
beloved by many. |

Understanding The Importance and Popularity of the American Quarter Horse by Robb Fowler |
| |
|
Quarter Horse seems like a strange name for an animal, but only
until you understand that Quarter horses are able to run a
quarter mile faster than any other horse can run the same
distance (in some situations, a Quarter Horse has been recorded
at over 50 miles per hour while running at full speed), then its
given name makes good sense. |

Understanding What A Paint Horse Is, And How To Identify One by Robb Fowler |
| |
|
Paint horses got their name for a far more obvious reason: in
every case, whether their pattern falls into the Overo, Tobiano
or Tovero category, the horse is marked by some percentage of
white hair over un-pigmented skin in addition to another color:
brown, tan, black or gray. |

Florida Is Home to Sea Cows, Sea Horses and American Quarter Horses by Robb Fowler |
| |
|
Ask someone what they see when they picture horses in Florida and
you're likely to hear about an imagines scene that places the
rider and horse on a Gulf Coast beach with the sun setting in the
background over crisp blue water. While that is, admittedly, an
idyllic scene that is fairly common, horses in Florida are also
likely to be scene carrying their riders along state and national
park trails, at racetracks and in both dressage and jumping
rings. |

| |

Reagan's occupied the White House, both Ronald and Nancy were
the proud owners of Arabian horses. Of course, horses have been
kept in California even into the modern age, even by ordinary
Californians, for work and pleasure. |

Choosing the Right Horse for Calf Roping by Robb Fowler |
| |
|
When it comes to weekends at the rodeo, riders and their horses
must be equally athletic. Particularly when it comes to the
rodeo's timed events - barrel racing, steer wrestling and calf
roping - athleticism is essential. The success of the rodeo
cowboy is measured as much by having the right horse, as it is by
the cowboy's athletic skills and timing. |
