My first horse I bought is what has helped shape me. I bought him with my own money for 1,000 dollars in hope to make him into a barrel horse. It was a warm spring day when we went to buy him. I was twelve and was so excited to go get my new three year old horse. Normally when you go buy a horse you look and make sure they have a good conformation but i did not care what he looked like. When we got to the ladies house I loaded him into the trailer before she could change her mind. Little did I know the struggles and successes that were to come. He helped me become responsible, persistent and, preserver through any obstacle. When we got him home the responsibilities began to flow. Twice a day i would have to feed him and that was not even the start. Everyday I had to brush him and clean his feet out to …show more content…
ensure he had good health. I also stalled him at night so during the day i had to clean his stall. Many other things went into caring for him and keeping him in tip top shape. I put his first ride on him the very week i bought him. He did very good for him first ride but would always try to buck. It also took a very long time to get him where I wanted him. It was two steps forward one day and one step back the next. I had to stay persistent with him or we would not get anywhere. Everyday I rode him to make him the best he could be until he started coming along and he began to place high in competitions. I never stop trying to make him the best I could.
When we began to start doing good everybody saw it. We went from average to above average in just two months. I had him for two years before we started running average runs and my hard work finally paid off. One spring afternoon I won my first barrel race against about fifty grown women and at least 30,000 dollar horses. I won over 1,000 dollars that weekend and my confidence was sky high. All of my hard work had paid off. After that night i began to win more and more barrel races. After two years all of my hard work and persistence had paid off. Training my own horse taught me how to be responsible because of all the responsibility it held. My life almost revolved around my horse. I never had time to hang out with friends outside of school unless they were helping me take care of my horse. Many days I would go out to ride him and would see no change and no progress or he would even be doing worse than the day before, but i would keep my head high and try again the next day. I went to so many barrel races before he began to start running with the average horses. I never gave up and persevere through every
obstacle. Training my own horse was definitely hard. Many times I wanted to give up and walk away. The persistence helped me to achieve my goal. Without learning and working hard with my horse i would not be who I am today. He helped me become responsible, persistent, and perse through any obstacle that gets in front of me.
The cattle drive really toughened me up. All of the experiences made me become a man, and I found out who I really am. I have proven to myself what I can truly accomplish.
Once you get them to settle down and get there mind focused on just walking and the rider then you know the bond with the rider and horse are strong. When it is time for the second run of the night you want to warm them up again but not as hard this time because he or she has already been warmed up once before this, so just a little warming up won’t hurt. When it is that time for the second run the rider will bring the horse him a set him or her up for their first barrel and make the most of the race. If you see the rider smiling then everyone knows she has done her job with this horse. The rider can make an automatic barrel horse where that horse know his job and she barely has to ask the horse for a turn or touch his face to go around that barrel. When the rider gets a horse to be like that everyone can tell they spent hours and days together. The rider worked with that horse but never made him sour or hate coming into the arena. They spent time working on flexing the horse and making sure he knew when to tuck his nose and leave it for an extra second. They will all see when they are running home how much they spend time they spend together if they are fast and smooth through the pattern and don’t have any blow ups before or after coming in and out of the arena. After the race is over and the announcer say who
When therapeutic riding became popular, results have exceeded what many didn't think would be possible. emotionally, children have a hard time bonding with other people and peers, therefore, bonding a child to a horse can help a child understand and begin to trust and bond with other people they interact with daily. therapy instructors also bond with children and they see throughout lessons that children need repetitions and they need the instructor to show them what to do on both sides, not just one which will help the child improve their riding. when you do things on both sides, it teaches the child that they do not have to do things only one way and it strengthens their left and right side of the brain. helping children, physically, mentally and emotionally is beneficial to society because it gives people a chance to do good in life by helping children and it gives the children to help society better itself and spread knowledge of many diseases that don't really have a
“A horse can do anything you train it to do”, my dad used to say; indeed, it’s true. I had been training racing horses for a while now, but this horse and this race was something different. My horse suffered from a small ankle injury and was due to race in 3 weeks. To prepare him for this race, I took him to the vet to get checked, I fed and trained him every day and finally the day of the race, I put all my trust in him and waited for the outcome.
It is incredible to understand how the way someone was nurtured as a child could have such an effect on there adulthood. I personally believe that the events that occurred in my early childhood were stepping stones to defined me as the person I am today.
I am an undocumented student at UC Davis. When I am asked a simple question such as, "describe your personal experiences", I ask myself: Where do I begin?
From a young age, I was very curious. Curiosity caused my mind to see everything from a different perspective than most. I saw what could be improved and how I could improve. For example, when it came to editing movies, I was always able to see what could how it could have been better or I questioned how they had created it. My curiosity led me to try many different activities throughout high school, such as film camps, stage managing for plays, yearbook, and even creating videos for Rochester High School’s awards day. Finally, my junior year, I decided it was time I made films of my own for competitions. I wanted to have something that I could call my own. When it came to the two films I did for contests, I was there throughout the whole process.
Success in the equestrian world can be difficult to achieve. There are many different principles and ideas as to how it can be accomplished. There are a variety of horses, disciplines, and trainers. Training a young horse can be a difficult task, and often for beginning trainers a confusing task as well. Striking out on one’s own and deciding how to train a horse is a highly debated project. Many trainers choose to either follow the treaded path of traditional training methods or natural horsemanship techniques. As an animal science major, it is important for my career to decide how I will approach training, and stay strong to my decision. It is a choice to be carefully considered; which school of thought, natural horsemanship techniques, traditional training methods, or alternative training will I obey through my career?
Horses are not just beasts to take care of, there are benefits to owning them, riding them, or even just being around them.

If you are around horses, you have much to tell and share!
The time I accomplished something would have to be ever since I got a job myself, when I told my mom about the job she didn’t like the idea she wanted me to focus on school and helping her out at the house and taking care of my sisters. She wanted me to not worry and just worry about school but I see a lot of people my age working and getting money they earned by working and I got interested myself and for me it didn’t matter where I worked as long as I did.
“To many, the words love, hope and dreams are synonymous with horses.”- Author Unknown. Horses are my passion, because school has never been necessarily easy for me. Through hard work and having interests outside of school like my horses, I have been able to succeed in high school. If I’m being completely honest, I never Imagined college being something that I’d pursue in my future, not unless I would be studying something that I was truly passionate about and this for me is my horse.
My father and mother have been the shining examples in my life about how if you want something you have to go out and get it. My dad has been a farmer his entire life and worked in a construction business he started for several years. He is now the Faculties Manager at Cornerstone Church and still farms several hundred acres. The most important thing I have ever learned in my life was that if you want something you have to go and get it. My dad has woken up at 4:56am every day for my entire life, no matter if he was sick or not. There are no sick days when you have livestock depending on you, or there are crops to tend. Watching his example for all these years has inspired me to be all I can be and do whatever it takes to succeed.
My parents raised me to be independent, which I can say that I am. I learned that I cannot always rely on other people and that I need to do things for myself, I control my own destiny.

At the same time, I was learning responsibility.
