...Devin Locricchio 3/16/16 Applying the English Tack on My Horse Before tacking your horse, you want to make sure your horse is fully brushed. Once that is all complete your going to want to put a saddle pad on the back of your horse. You want the saddle pad to go over the weathers, if you put it to far back it could hurt the horse while the saddle is on. Next you want to get your English saddle. Put the saddle on top of the saddle pad. Make sure you adjust the saddle pad under the saddle to relieve any pressure. You do not want the saddle pad laying flat by the weathers, you want it to be up into the saddle at the beginning of the saddle. Then you want to get your girth. You want to make sure your girth fits your horse as there is many different sizes. You attach the girth to your first billet hole. Then go around on the other side, grab the girth and attach it the second hole of the billet. Then walk to the other side again and tighten the billet to a higher hole. Then leave the girth the way it is until you go into the arena to ride. When you get into the arena they let air out of there stomachs which loosens the girth. When you put a girth on in the first place they blow their stomachs with air on purpose. Next you want to get your bridle. Put the reins over your horse’s neck first. Then you can take their halter off. Make sure your bridle is form fitting to your horse’s head. You’re first going to take the nose band and slide it over their nose, then your going to put the...

... Avoid Online Scams Horse Breeds Business Advertising Private Advertising costs Team Caldene rider Ellen Whitaker explains the importance of approaching a course of show jumps safely and correctly Monday 18 May 2009 Riding A Show Jumping Course Jumping a course of fences is all about putting into practice the hours spent schooling on the flat and pole work. They should all start to come into play now. The next step is to tackle a course of small fences. Your confidence here is vital, if you are not fully in control and committed to jumping you will be sending mixed signals to your horse and he will not do what you are trying to ask him to do. It is only when you are sure in your own mind and your horse is ready that it is time to tackle a course. Jumping a few small courses at home is a must if you plan to take your horse to a competition, not only because you are getting him used to it but also that you are not surrounded by the public which could put you and your horse off. Taking your horse round a course of fences at home also means that you will be able to go at your own pace, jumping what you want to jump rather than attempting a fence from a less than satisfactory approach. Remember when jumping a small course that a horse usually jumps a fence in a manner largely influenced by what happened at the previous one, so it is likely that if he makes a bad job at one fence...

...This is a time where action starts happening within your dreams, ideas, and hopes. Some beliefs feel this is the time that the Maiden Goddess has finally reached her completion and is awaiting the Oak King in order to have an union. One tradition of Beltane is to light a bonfire. This tradition came from the Celtic people. They thought that if you lit a bonfire, you were petitioning for the help of their God Bel and the Sun to help the crops grow. They also thought it would offer protection for the town. The term “jumping the bale fire” also sorta comes from them. The belief was that if you were going to petition the God Bel then you would have to do something for him to take notice. So, the belief was born that you had to jump through the flames to get Bel's attention. Everything went through the fires that needed his blessing for the upcoming seasons. You would see livestock, animals, and even, people jumping through the fire/smoke. This is also a time that you can see a lot of people being handfasted. It's thought that if you got married on this day then it...

...thing that both Native American and Polynesian both have in common are they both believe in the spirits of their ancestors. When the Polynesian's danced the Hula they thought that if done incorrectly that something would happen and may turn disastrous while Native American dance specifically for a reason and believed if they asked for thanks for necessities they would acquire it. Both dances were created for one reason and one reason only to ask for help spiritually. Native American culture and the way they danced were entirely for their Gods, basically as an offering to show how important they were and how much their Gods were believed in. As the Polynesians too were spiritual and wouldn’t dance until an elder blessed the area in which would be danced upon, they also danced to perform for their people as entertainment. Now looking at how each culture’s learning criteria. Polynesians didn’t just show people who wanted to dance some moves and sent them on their way. No, they needed to understand the meaning of Hula and enrolled select individuals into a “Dance School” where they would be taken from their community and given comprehensive training so they have the honor to dance But looking at...

...Children’s Literature on Folklore Folklore originated as stories told around the campfire and passed down by word of mouth. Because these stories originated orally, many times they have no known authors. These stories were almost always fantasy and involved magic or animals that talked. There are six subcategories that fall under Folklore in Children’s Literature. These subcategories are: folktales, tall tales, fables, myths, epics/ballads/legends and religious stories. One subcategory that falls under Folklore is Folk tales. A folk tale is a tale or legend originating among a people or folk, especially one forming part of an oral tradition. Folk tales are often part of the oral tradition of a group and are usually told rather than read. They are passed down from one generation to the next. They may be stories that grew out of the lives and imaginations of people. Folk tales can take on the personality of the storyteller and the story can take on the characteristics of the time and place in which the story is told. The themes are universal and timeless and may contain supernatural elements, imaginative characters, focus on action, have a simple sense of justice, have happy endings and contain fundamental wisdom (Chen, 2009). There are seven types of folk tales, each with their own characteristics to set them apart from one another. Anansi the Spider: A Tale from the Ashanti by Gerald McDermott is a beast tale. It is a beautifully illustrated folk tale from the...

...all over her body were black patterns drawn with uli... and on her waist four or five rows of jigada, or waist beads” (Achebe 62). The Igbo have a custom in which the groom’s family consults the bride’s family to settle on a bride price. This custom is the opposite of the dowry system in Europe. The bride embellishes herself in the hope to raise her bride price. Moreover, the Igbo also have their own customs for funerals. When a great man, Ezeudu dies, they hold a grand funeral for him: “The ancient drums of death beat, guns and cannon were fired, and men dashed about in a frenzy, cutting down every tree or animal they saw, jumping over walls and dancing on the roof. It was a warrior’s funeral…” (Achebe 107). The Igbo pay their respects to those pass away This shows that they have compassion towards their men who they have live besides. The Igbo have traditions that are unconventional, but a different way of doing things does not make them uncivilized. In fact, having customs is part of the definition of...

...The story starts out with seemingly innocent everyday people who live in a bucolic countryside, but is later revealed that they participate their long tradition of “the lottery” in which the winner is stoned to death for good harvest. The monstrous power of conformity is evident in the story in that there are many instances where people resist change and are intolerant to any acts of change. For example, Old Man Warner, who has been a long inhabitant of the town and has participated in the lottery for a long time, stands as an authoritative person whom people follow due to his elderliness. When the Adams, one of the town families, told Old Man Warner about other towns nearby giving up on lottery, he responded, “‘Pack of crazy fools…Listening to the young folks, nothing’s good enough for them’”(104), reprimanding their actions. He then went on to say an old saying: Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon, to remind the Adams how important “the lottery” had been for their harvest. But hypocritically, Mr.Adams, who told Old Man Warner about the news about other towns giving up the lottery, acting as a small voice of reason, but is then later found being in front of the crowd to stone Tessie Hutchinson, the winner. Though the people showed uneasy motions and gestures, they are quickly lost, failing to resist the dangerous tradition of “the...

...Fairy Tales Fairy tales are stories either created or strongly influenced by oral traditions. Their plots feature conflicts between good and evil, with magic and luck determining the usually happy endings. Universal human emotions such as love, hate, courage, kindness, and cruelty appear in bold, broad strokes on the canvas of fairy tales. Fairy tale and modern fantasy stories project other worlds; but they also pay attention to moral values of character and virtue. By portraying wonderful and frightening worlds in which ugly beasts are transformed into princes and evil persons are turned to stones, fairy tales remind us of moral truths whose ultimate claims to normativity we would not think of questioning. Fairy tales capture the meaning of morality through vivid depictions of struggles between good and evil where characters must make difficult choices between right and wrong. One of George MacDonald’s works, The Light Princess, portrays a story of unconditional love and sacrifice. MacDonald entertains us with the tale of a bewitched princess who loses her gravity. Weightless and thoughtless, she floats above palace life, unable to love or grieve. While swimming in the palace lake, she discovers that the spell no longer has a hold on her. There a noble prince discovers her and has fallen in love with the princess, but the princess only cares about jumping into the lake with the prince. When the king’s evil sister learns that the princess is happy in the water...

...with whom I most strongly related would surely be 'the cowardly lion', from The Wizard of Oz. This was not because I was entertained by his cowardliness, as his name would make you think, but because I really liked his relentless quest for courage. When speaking of courage, the cowardly lion compares it's magnitude to these sentiments: “what makes a king out of a slave?...what makes the flag on the mast wave?...what makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk?” the answer to all of those questions, is of course, courage. There are, however, many different elements that make up the word, making it difficult to accurately capture the true meaning in a single sentence. It's not simply being momentarily brave and jumping from a cliff, or latching on to a group of vagabonds on a hunt for wizards and adventure. While the definition states that 'courage is the ability to do something that frightens one', in this essay I'd like to explore the different dimensions of the word, involving not only the conquering of courageous, physical feats, but also by acknowledging where courage comes from and how, once displayed, it can change your life on many different levels. In modern culture, displaying courage often becomes defined by the danger one displays through death-defying physical feats. An example of this would be taking a ride on a rollercoaster that you have always too scared to ride. When the line comes to an end and it's your turn to jump on, you...

...interesting experience I'm sure you never fogot that day. -No: no problem I will give you a lot of information about it. I think you might be in charshanbesori. It is held In the last Wednesday of the year. Just as the rest of the world moves forward into the online digital world, there are still various classical traditions from past centuries that retains their popularity with the new younger generation of people. Even as some of these traditions are strange and unusual, they have been held until now. Another example is Halloween. On October 31, in many countries children and adults dress up in unusual costumes. Some become witches or ghosts; others dress up as trees, goats, and in other very unusual costumes. This festival started in Europe and has spread to all parts of the world. However, not all celebrations spread around the world. Every country has its own singular festivals. The first example that I prepared is Festival of Snakes Many people are afraid of snake.. In some parts of the world, snakes are regarded as evil or, at least, dangerous. But, there is one small village in Italy where the people seem to worship snakes. They show their respect and love for snakes with a festival. This festival is held each year in the tiny village of Cocullo, which is surrounded by some of Italy's wildest forests. There is a legend in Cocullo that the surrounding mountains and forests were once full of poisonous snakes. Many of the people...

...In "No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston, Kingston learns from her mother that she once had an aunt who committed suicide with her newborn baby by jumping into the family well in China. As the she begins to menstruate, Kingston’s mother warns her of the consequences if she follows her aunt and commits adultery. The author aunt could have been rape or as the author even hinted, incest. This is the first chapter from Kingston’s book Memoirs of a Woman Warrior. It reminds me of those Chinese paintings of landscape, nature, trees, flowers, mountains shrouded by mist, everything hidden and quiet. In addition, I think the writer’s purpose is to bring to the eyes of the general public the harsh consequences of being a female in a patriarchal society. The mother devotes her time to explain to her daughter about her aunt who took her own life and was forgotten by her own family because of Chinese expectations of how a female should behave. I think by Kingston’s mother explains this story about her aunt because she is trying to save her daughter’s life. I was surprised that the aunt’s name is never mentioned in the story. The narrator's aunt was deeply shamed, and fiercely loyal despite the terrible situation she was in. Guilt no doubt took hold in her heart and put her on the path to...

...WALKING INTO LIFE (an article on the learning development of toddlers) This statement is something I occasionally hear from my brother who has five children, eldest of them is 7, and from my sister who also has five children, of whom the eldest is also 7. These nieces and nephews of mine are indeed a bundle of joy for all of us. Being an aunt seems to be a favoured position: I get to pick them up from their house, play with them, enjoy tricks with them, and when they start whining for milk or demanding for something I cannot give, or they simply have to be tidied up, I can easily return them and avoid the task of being more than an aunt. Being in this position gives me a different perspective of toddlers. For an aunt, toddlers are simply cute and adorable. But for parents, they are not only adorable and cute; they are one crucial responsibility to carry as well. So, are toddlers “Terrible Twos” or are they “Terrific Twos”? When children learn to walk, they are called toddlers. Although the term is usually applied to one and two-year-old children, “toddler” is not a specific age, but a stage in the growth of a child which is unique to each one. Children have their own time-table. Some can walk, eat on their own, dress on their own earlier than others in the same age. Each child’s developmental pace differs, but one thing is common among toddlers: they all start to learn to be independent. That’s why 2 to 3-year-olds want to do things for and...
