Black beauties and Italian stallions are beautiful, but not all of us can afford to have one in our own backyard. Fortunately for us, Horsesring.com isn’t the only place to learn all about these amazing creatures.
Paw-Talk.net, for instance, a site that shares pet care tips on even the most unusual animals (horses, chinchillas, and exotic birds, just to name a few) while also focusing on blog posts about animal rights, animal intelligence, and the animals of the wild (they’ve been known to mention wild horses and Bonobos, a group of monkeys in the Congo.)

There are few things more invigorating than feeling the benefits of quality training and enjoying the results, but sadly, many horses’ careers are put on hold due to respiratory problems like heaves (aka Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder, or COPD). I suggest a few exercises here that you can work on during the bad spells that exercise the mobility and encourage the engagement of a horse without stressing the lungs. (Also, these work well in winter time to prevent sweating up and are great for warm-ups before going in the show ring without tiring them out.)
These are exercises I use on my own horse, for he, too, is a horse with an upper-respiratory problem whose condition can rear its ugly head so bad so fast that it devastates our progressive training schedule. His coughing sounds painful and the debilitation that has ensued leaves him short of breath far sooner than any average horse.
As hopeless as it feels, there are ways to work around mild to moderate cases using low-impact exercises that encourage flexibility and suppleness at the walk so that no matter how short the trot work-out may be, you will get more out of it without stressing the lungs. |

On the Trail
in Skagway, Alaska
Sitting in a little shed on the pier beside the huge Princess Sun cruise ship, Eddie and I watched for the tour guide to arrive and take us for a horseback ride back in the trails just outside Skagway, Alaska.
It was 2594 miles from home at West Hamlin, West Virginia, to Seattle, Washington. Then it was another thousand miles to Skagway. Now 3600 miles away from home, it is fulfilled.
It was a dream of mine to go to every state in the Union, since I had been in 48 states and Canada and Mexico before I was 21 years old because Mother and Daddy liked to travel. I was an only child and we spent every summer on a week or two vacation of traveling the good old USA year after year.
In 1981 my husband agreed to go to Hawaii, since the kids were growing up.
"If we're going as a family, we had better go now," Eddie said, since Alanna was already in college and the boys were in high school.
Now arriving in Alaska on our 46th Wedding Anniversary I had completed all 50 states and we were also going for a horseback ride just out back of Skagway. At one time I wanted to now ride a horse in all states, but I have abandoned that goal. I just want to ride where I want to ride. |
