Horses of Today


In the past, lets say one hundred years ago and if we go even further, to a couple of centuries ago, we find that almost every person knew a thing or two about horses. Why? you may ask. It is simple, the horse was a means of transportation and warfare. So, most people, at least most head of house holds, had some kind of interest in horses during those times. And although not everyone could afford a horse back then, never the less did most people have a sort of interest in these amazing animals. For recreation, courtships, transportation, or work, the horse was a necessary tool in every day life. Today the horse is still widely used. Think about it for a minute. Have you ever seen a commercial on T.V. about the newest sports car? have you noticed that they will often use X-amount of "HORSE POWER!" to advertise the greatness of the vehicle? That's right and what about movies. If you have seen Tangled you will notice that they used a white horse. Polo, Dressage, Reining, Jumping, Gymkhana, all these are recreational sports in which people spend a lot of money and time, around and with horses.
