The horse bucked around the pen slamming into the fence and off the post that was set in the middle of the pen. Finally the horse began to slow down and the cowboy got him under control. It would take another week of this before the horse would allow himself to be handled without blowing up.(Rashid 102)

I have been working with horses since the age of 8, riding and doing rodeos. I have worked on many different ranches, based on that experience and from what I saw observing Buffy I would place a firm belief that to a horse vision and touch are fundamentally the most important special senses in their day-to-day lives. Horses reply on vision to see what is around them and to be well acquainted to their environment and changes around their environment. Also, Touch is very important for many reasons. In example when it comes to interaction with other horses certain behavior displays show their feeling to other animals or show their emotion to a situation. Touch also gives certain sensitivity to how they approach an environment and due to the nerve endings in their hoofs they can easily navigate the ground they roam on.
In conclusion, horses mean more to me than many other things. They are part of my friends and family, but I also have great respect for them. Horses are surrounded by benefits that make us feel exceptional. Their colors are all attractive. Their breeds are marvelous and unique. Their history with us is quite a beneficial relationship. Their behavior is different from ours, but is an easy language to learn. Showing horses is exhilarating! Caring for them can seem like a chore, but is actually an overall fun and propitious experience. Riding horses is fun and meaningful, not just something to learn or do just because. And, no matter what people say, I believe there is something truly special about my dear friend the horse.
