The story, “Breaking In,” is about a horse being trained so that he can carry his master on his back. To be “broken in” means that a horse can wear a bit, bridal, saddle, horseshoes, and collar, and follow a rider’s commands. First, the horse’s master puts a bit on him, which the horse does not enjoy, but does not mind because of the master’s kind words and gentle ways. Then the master puts the saddle on the horse. Again the master is gentle and calm with the horse, and feeds him oats as he completes the task. Then he rides the horse, but only for a little while each time. The horse quickly becomes accustomed to his rider and is proud to carry his master. Next, the master takes the horse to get horseshoes put on. The master stays with the
When a problem arises, people generally find someone to put the blame on or mark as traitor even though they could be innocent: This can be shown in the article “Home Was a Horse Stall” by Jim Carnes.

Shops and agencies that used to be friendly towards Sox’s family and other Japanese people now turn them away. (Carnes, 1996) Through these acts of hostility, it can be shown
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
In the text it says,” So that no way in the world can you get rid of that nasty hard thing; it is very bad! Yes, Very bad! At least I thought so.” This evidence shows us that the author uses first person point of view to show that the horse does have feelings about things his owner does to him. Another piece of evidence is, “ I certainly did feel queer; but I must say I felt rather proud to carry my I felt rather proud to carry my master, and as he continued to ride me a little every day I soon became accustomed to it.” this evidence shows us that the horse still has feelings and different emotions towards different things that are happening with them or around
Indian Horse is a novel by Richard Wagamese that beautifully explores the idea of family, and what it means to have people around you that make you feel at home. The reader is bombarded with an overwhelming sense of family and betrayal in the first few pages of the novel. As Richard Wagamese continues to write, one is able to see how safe Saul Indian Horse felt with his biological family, and he also shows how lost he felt without their love when he was taken to the Residential School. The school he was brought to was drained of all consensual love the moment it was open, and continued to fill the children with horrible feelings the entire time they were there. Indian Horse was unable to really feel as though he still had family while he was in the

It was the largest horse show I had ever been to and my round started at 7am on an August sunday.
