Horses In My Back Yard
Horses In My Back Yard by Jody Hudson, with Extensive Collaboration From Chris Hudson HORSE LOVERS: During my thirty years of selling rural land, I have frequently found that folks want some acreage so that they can own and ride horses. They LOVE horses in their own mind but have little if any of the real knowledge or experience necessary to raise one or more horses. Far too often, they have knowledge based on little more than an idyllic dream and that dream based for the most part on romantic novels and movies. This article will give you some basic information which may save you and a horse some bad or even terrible experiences. HOW MANY ACRES?: If you do want horses; a good rule of thumb in...

Bedouins believed that the horse was a gift from Allah. It was to be cherished, revered, almost worshipped. The Arabian horse has been bred for centuries, with its beginnings in the oases around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the countries known in our modern history as Iran, Iraq, and Syria, as well as other parts of the Arabian Peninsula.Because the Bedouins cherished their horses, the bloodlines were a jealously guarded family treasure within the different tribes. There are records which indicate that the nomads began breeding these superb horses as early as 3000 to 2500 B.C. However, the modern Arabians trace their roots back to five mares which were owned by King Solomon around 1600 B.C...

They Loved Us
Our parents called them "the Bible Club girls," even though Hazel Simonton and Jean Clark had strands of grey sprinkled through their dark hair by the late 1940s. That's how people referred to women, especially single women, back then.Every Wednesday after school, the Bible Club girls came to our church in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. The pastor had built a fire in the cast-iron furnace in the back corner of the church, but the building was still bitter cold when we arrived at three-thirty. We perched on the first two rows of cold wooden pews, little kids with rubber boots, winter coats leaking dirty mittens, stocking caps, and, frequently, cold sores and runny noses, which noses, if they were...

An Adventure In Boston
If you want historical sites of the American Revolution, you need to visit Boston. Of course there are other reasons to visit, also: the food, the people, and the accents.Having experiencing a detour within seconds after we picked up our rental car at Boston's Logan Airport, we didn't want to brave the hand directed traffic of the streets of Boston. Instead, we opted for Harbor Express, a passenger only ferry out of Qunicy, which is just across the harbor. The Harbor Express lands you just yards from the Quincy Market and this is a great place to start any adventure in Boston.Quincy Market is one long food court with restaurants above and below. Fast food options abound. We noted that Vietnamese...
"Songs go far beyond words in their ability to insert emotion into communication." Robert Sylwester, A Celebration of NeuronsFilmmakers, if they knew who brain researcher Robert Sylwester was, would agree with him. They often integrate familiar songs into their movies. Pop songs are so successful that movie producers will pay exorbitant sums, in some cases as much as $100,000, to acquire the rights for the song.Sylwester, in his book A Celebration of Neurons, went on to explain:"The songs of our adolescent years often become the beacons of our adult life because they can help us to recall the important developments of our adolescence. We often listen to this music to relive the memories...

Horses - Seattle Slew
In the short list of triple crown winners, this horse had to be one of the biggest bargains in racing history. We're referring to the puzzle of a wonder, Seattle Slew.The story of this horse is just another reminder of how weird the sport of horse racing can be and how unpredictable it can also be.

While this mad spending was going on a few friends got together and spent $17,500 to buy Seattle Slew when he was just one year old.

Yay or Neigh?
Gordon Ramsay, England's foul-mouthed, fire-tempered master chef recently landed himself in hot water. Famous for his many high-class restaurants and TV shows (including the American "Hell's Kitchen"), Ramsay took some heat last May from fellow cooks, PETA, and the UK at large for his praise of horses as food on his popular cooking show "The F-Word." After sending TV journalist Janet Street-Porter to sample horse cuisine, Ramsay himself tried it and the two praised the meat for its flavor and nutritional value. He also suggested a rise in horse consumption, to many Britons' horror. Meanwhile, over the Atlantic, a bill passed in Illinois banning the slaughter of horses for human consumption...
Family Travel Games
If you've ever spent a long time in a vehicle with children then you've probably had to come up with some quick, creative ideas on how to keep them occupied. I have spent countless hours playing travel games with children. Here are a few of the family travel games that I have found perfect for passing the time.Travel Scavenger Hunt Make a list of things you might see as you're travelling (this will vary depending on your location). Some good examples would be... an airplane flying overhead, a lamb, a cyclist, an ambulance, a yield sign, litter, a train, etc. Make a list for everyone or play the game as a group. If children are playing individually, the first person to call out an item gets to...

In the past, I've emailed a lot of info where I describe key principles in horse training. One I like to harp on is the prin- ciple of "kindness." Instinctively, most understand the kindness thing. After all, why be cruel to your horse. Even though that's a given, that's not the principle reason I preach about being kind to your horse. When I say "treat your horse with kindness" the importance in training is this: When a horse does as you ask, he should be rewarded with kindness such as a carress on the point of shoulder or forehead. The thing a lot of people don't get is kindness with punishment. (When I say punish- ment, I don't mean whipping or hitting a horse. Punishment "ONLY" refers to...

Horse Breeds: Which Types of Horses Would Suit...
For centuries, horses have been one of the most popular domesticated animals. While today, people enjoy riding and racing them, in the past they were domesticated because they were the primary mode of transportation for many.People from almost every corner of the globe have owned horses for one reason or another, and it is for this reason that there are now so many different breeds. However, all horses fall into one of three main categories: pony, light, and heavy classifications. If you are unfamiliar with horse breeds, this is a good starting place.From this point, some people like to further classify horses into the subcategories such as draft horses, gaited horses, and warmbloods.

Should You Purchase Horse Insurance?
You are now thinking-what are your crazy? Why would anyone purchase insurance on the average horse? You know that the special thoroughbreds, Arabian, and other special breeds are covered but why should you spend the money for your own horse? Well, it is no longer an issue for the very wealthy owners and breeders. If medical attention or surgery is needed, this can make a difference between saving your horse's life or putting them down.

You not only pay money to purchase him, but the boarding and upkeep for this is...

You've probably heard the standard advice about keywords.. "Find lots of keywords that are relevant to whatever you're selling, get lots of traffic, and you'll make lots of sales". Sounds sensible, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it's rarely that simple. To make it clear why that is, let's start with an extreme example. For a site selling horses, the phrase "horse pictures" is clearly relevant. In many ways, it looks like an ideal phrase. It gets quite a lot of searches. There is very little competition in organic listings. You can get very prominent positions for this phrase cheaply on most pay-per-click search engines. But you are very unlikely to ever sell a horse using the phrase "horse pictures...

Whish! Tracy swerved, nearly having to pull her car over. She was laughing to hard to drive. Whish! Plop! Jingle! Then, another Whish! Dog toys were flying past her rearview mirror like fuzzy meteors headed for earth. She was not two miles form Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary and Rocky's antics had already rendered her incapsitated. Again, jingles erupted out of the musical walrus. Rocky has always loved his toys. Some wonder if he had them on the streets of Beirut. His handlers always picture him gathering stuffed animals from the collapsed rubble of bombed out homes. No doubt he'd pile them up, keeping them close together in pure Border Collie fashion. Soon rescuers came, but not for his playthings...
So you've found some Friesian horses for sale, and you want to pick one, or a few, up. But before you go charging out the door to look for your new horses, there are a few things that you'll want to check on first. To begin with, is it a Friesian that you want?

Friesians have inherited these attributes from their ancestors, making them a perfect match to the sport of dressage. Other attributes that make them a good choice for dressage are their power, appearance, and excellent body control. That they are highly intelligent...

The Role of the Birthing Partner
You'll often find in antenatal classes that the teacher will be very confident in telling you that "the role of the birthing partner is very important". And that's where they often stop; no tips, no advice, just the statement that you are very important! So if you are so important, how do you know if you're doing your 'job' correctly or if there is in fact a 'job' for you to do as your partner breathes deeply and focuses on her contractions? It is true that a birthing partner's role is very important, but not essential. A woman can safely give birth without a 'team' around her and would often be much safer to give birth alone in privacy. If a woman decides to have you with her for the birth of her...
Yacht Wind Turbines
This is one of my dream possessions, a yacht that is.If I get one I probably will install a yacht wind generator to charge my onboard batteries. You know the modern yachts now carry a lot of electronic equipment on board things like gps, radar and if you have autopilot that also needs power to run. If you are out on the sea you definetely can not stop and recharge your batteries. You could have solar panels installed but what if there's no sun. What do you do then? It makes sense then to have a marine wind generator installed on your yacht, so you can enjoy your ride to the fullest. Nowadays they now even have yacht wind generators that also double up as water generator which generates power by...
Insurance of all kinds has become endemic in our society today; car insurance, home owners insurance, health insurance, and everything in between. The role of insurance in our lives is the protection of our assets. And when it comes to horse insurance, the goals are the same. For those who own one or more horses, horse insurance provides them with the same peace of mind as any other insurance policy. Just as a serious collector of antique cars would think nothing of purchasing a comprehensive insurance policy to protect his financial interests, the owners of horses must similarly protect their interests. Horse insurance policies are purchased just like any other insurance policy - through reputable...

Seems like you were just in the hospital, then bringing that adorable baby girl home to the nursery you set up so carefully.

She's no longer a child but heading full speed toward becoming a woman. One popular Quince and Sweet...

When you are buying your first rental property and becoming a landlord, there is lots to learn. How do I find tenants? What should I charge for rent? Should I update the places to get more rent? How do I tell the tenants they are late on rent? I have read a lot about how you have rule with an iron fist to keep your tenants in line. Our philosophy is much more laid back, and it has worked out amazingly well for us. Every property is different, but this was our experience. Our first rental investment property was somewhere we would move into ourselves, and in retrospect, that was an aspect more important than I would have guessed. There's many decisions along the way, and being a potential tenant...
Dude ranches in general have a bad reputation among many of those who are truly interested in riding and horsemanship. This is true of many dude ranches which cater to a clientele knowing little about horses or riding and offer a pseudo western vacation where square dances, wranglers with big hats, hay rides and cookouts are the main attractions. Not all ranches are like that and they are as contrasting in character and philosophy as the individualistic types who run them. If serious horseback riding on fine horses is your main interest, here are some important points to consider in seeking the dude ranch which will best suit you. 1.
