In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” we are introduced to a woman who author D.H Lawrence states, “was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny children, yet she felt they had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them.” When I dive into the psychology behind that statement, I come up with a thought that this beginning draws similarities to Lawrence’s own upbringing with his coal miner father and schoolteacher mother. Similarly the mother in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is disenchanted with her marriage and the way her life has turned out. In Lawrence’s own childhood he had parents who were suspected of treason and very status minded. (559) When I look at the relationship in the opening of the story between mother and children it is one of feeling burdened and having been ill prepared for child rearing and mother hood. This family seems completely motivated and driven by social status and superficial impressions. It seems to me that the children were brought into the world not by want or out of love but by obligation and social standards. What was a woman back then who did not raise a family and keep a home?…
According to an article, “Rodeo Kicks Up Debate,” written by Cheer (2012).. “The horses that are bred for rodeos have their lives preserved. Many bucking horses live for 20 years or more and are still fit and healthy enough to be used in rodeos. When those horses do reach the age it is a testimony to how well they are looked after.” The cowboys and ranchers purposely breed these horses for bucking stock. The horses, indeed, not broke to ride on a trail course or to go mosey around on in the yard. These are not kid horses , they are trained and breed to prevail as hard core buckers. When the cowboys or ranchers notices a horse becoming stiff and not bucking like a true bucking horse should, the horse moved to a nice lush green pasture where he lives a highly preserved life in retirement. The horses are not only rightfully taken care of when they are retired but also while they are in use in the rodeo arena. Ranchers and cowboys, look after their livestock like they are their very own child because if these animals die or get hurt they are at a huge loss do to the face of all the money they have wrapped up in the stock . When people say that the rodeo stock is not well looked after they have not truly seen the way that the animals lives are…
I stared down into the arena my eyes wide watching as the team a woman and horse prepare to go out. I started down as the horse gets excited about taking off running as fast as possible, the only thing that is holding him back is the rider. I stared down as the horse bolts out into the arena on cue as they race at top speed. Only if this was not only a dream, I have seen this happen many times on T.V., and at the fairgrounds here. But never live, sitting right in the midst of happy cowboys and excited cowgirls at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.…

From the beginning of equestrian time, many people have pondered which of the two most powerful horses ranks to be the highest athlete. The Quarter Horse comes in all sizes and is known for its stocky beautiful build with a sensible mindset. While the Thoroughbred being typically on the taller side, is known for its sleek slender build with its angelic beauty. Although both of these horses possess undeniable agility and immense power, it is anything but tough to pick between the two. The Quarter Horse is an all-around treasure. Their mind, body, and soul are an unbelievable gift that only God himself could have created.…
People often view the equine industry as nothing more than simply an expensive hobby. However, in actuality it is far more than just that. The horse industry has an enormous impact on the United States economy and covers a vast horizon of different areas.

After taking into account the money multiplier effect of spending by suppliers and employees in the industry, this number grows even larger to create about 1.4 million full-time equivalent jobs nationally with a 102 billion dollar annual impact on the United States economy (“National Economic Impact”).…

Horses engage in a variety of very strenuous activities. Even a horse that is not competing or working can be subject to injuries as a result of their very nature. Horses love to run and play and actively do so socially. As an equestrian and a horse trainer, I have witnessed horses injure themselves by rolling into walls, running down hills and playing with one another. One day a horse may be perfectly fine, the next day the horse may have an injury that will keep them from being worked for weeks.…
