...I would purchase 2 mares and pay for the covering of one of these mares from a reputable stallion. The progeny of which I intend to sell at Tattersall sales FINISH THIS SECTION Task 1 (750) The carefully selected mares for the mating programme are ‘Falcon in Flight’ (Falcon) and ‘Palomita’, both mares sold at the December Tattersalls mare sales. Falcon was lot 43 and sold for £3,000, she was consigned by Darley and property of Rabbah Bloodstock Limited and before sales she was covered by Arabian Gleam and believed in foal. She has won 1 race of her total 4, it is however her breeding lines that are desirable and the reasoning for her selection. Progeny of Shamardal and Marine City means she is genetically more desirable than other mares, with Carnegie as her Dam Sire who won 7 of his 13 races and placed in 2 others. Shamardal is a very successful stallion currently 8th in the table of leading flat race sires (in accordance to wins) on the Racing Post website, he also possesses a 2.23 average earnings index (AEI) score. Falcon is inbred 4x5 by Northern Dancer, 4x5 by Riverman and 5x5 by Petingo, inbreeding increases the chance of a desired trait being expressed therefore the racing performance success of these stallions will be inherited by Falcon. If she does not race as hoped she still possessed the desired genetics to be crossed with another equally genetically strong stallion. On the purchase of Falcon it must be noted that she is already in foal by Arabian Gleam...

...In the film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, directed by Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook, Asbury and Cook made it very clear that the theme of the film was freedom. It gave the movie an overall theme of “My spirit can never be broken.” This was one of the things that made the movie great. It showed this theme through it’s storyline. The storyline followed the steps of a typical movie but with it’s own spin, and the viewers loved this. The use of music and narration also made the film enjoyable. The music matched each scene perfectly, making it seem much more realistic. The narration, told from the perspective of Spirit (Matt Damon), gave the audience the chance to understand Spirit. It made the viewers feel a special connection with Spirit, as...

...component of the business is the fitting and training halter horses for world-class American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) shows around the country. This involves all of the care for the horse, including feeding, bedding, grooming, exercising, and training of the horse, as well as showing the horse for customers at shows. Collecting a monthly boarding/training fee and showing fees produce the income for this component. (G. M. Werner, personal communication, January 11, 2014) The second component is the area of breeding, both the actual breeding of mares to produce foals for sale and also the sale of semen in the form of stallion fees. Mr. Werner has a herd of broodmares that he breeds each year. This produces the foals that he sells at various production sales. The larger part of this component lies in the sale of semen produced by his two stallions. Unlike the thoroughbred industry, the quarter horse industry and the AQHA allow artificial insemination for breeding. (American Quarter Horse Association, 2014) This allows an owner to collect, sell and ship semen for a profit. Mr. Werner owns two...

To thy forelock, I bind Victory in battle. On thy back, I set a rich spoil And a Treasure in thy loins. I establish thee as one of the Glories of the Earth... I give thee flight without wings." From Ancient Bedouin Legend The image of a great black Arabian stallion, floating along the beach, nose to the wind, tail flagging, caught the attention of audiences with the release of The Black Stallion. The star of this film, Cass Ole, a purebred black Arabian stallion, brought the charisma of the Arabian horse to people worldwide with his flowing mane and proud head. Arabians have existed for centuries to insure that generations to come can enjoy a glimpse of great horses like Cass Ole.

...Throughout the entire range of horse history of all times and countries, no series of episodes is at once so striking, so unique, and of such enduring interest as those in which C. W. Williams and his two stallions Axtell and Allerton played the leading roles. A sweeping statement, perhaps, but one which examination will uphold, as a “success story” in its own department it has no parallels. In the late 1800's Charles W. Williams a man that had business interests in the surrounding area around northest Iowa. He travel from town to town to oversee his business, using the main mode of transportation, the horse. His interest in breeding better horses for this type of travel, prompted him to purchase the best mares he could afford and breed them with the best stallions he could afford. He personally raised and trained his first two colts named Allerton and Axtell....

...Elizabeth Proctor and Abigail Williams are different people with few similarities, one being they have both slept with John Proctor. The differences between these two women are outstanding and shine throughout the book. Elizabeth, a cold old wife, refused John of some the basic things in a marriage. “It needs a cold wife to prompt lechery” (126). Abigail on the other was young and fearless and always prepared to have John sweating like a stallion. “…And sweated like a stallion when I come near” (21). Why is Elizabeth so cold? Why does Abigail rebel against the theocracy? To answer these questions, you have to understand their roles in the play and the witch trails. Abigail Williams, the wild card of the puritan religious group in Salem,...

...contender for Horse of the Year and is even a candidate for Sport’s Illustrated’s Sportsman of the Year. Pharoah is a supreme athlete and exemplifies the characteristics of the Thoroughbred. Though today we consider the Thoroughbred a common breed both on and off the track, the breed once did not exist; it was bred in England to carry weight while maintaining speed, and then migrated to the rest of the world. The Thoroughbred did not exist until the 17th century in England when stallions imported from the Middle East were bred with English mares that were of Spanish decent (Hendricks. 172). Since riding a horse in a full suit of armor required a steady, sure-footed animal, the English horses were stocky but not fast (Wagner, “Born to Run” ). All Thoroughbreds can be traced back to three foundation horses, Darley Arabian, Byerly Turk and Godolphin Arabian, and these stallions were bred to a group of 40 mares that are commonly referred to as the “Royal Mares” (Hendricks 172) The offspring of these stallions were perfectly proportioned and longer than other breeds, having great athletic ability and physical stamina (Edwards 152). These fast horses gained recognition as horse racing became popular in England. In 1791, James Weatherby analyzed the bloodlines of Thoroughbreds and wrote “An Introduction to A General Stud Book,” in 1808 establishing a registry that still exists today. According to the Smithsonian Handbook of Horses, all Thoroughbreds today can be traced to three bloodlines...

...to the black haired stallion that I can never have." Castiel swallowed thickly and nodded. "Is that all you have sinned?" He said, turning to the silhouette to make him seem more comfortable. The silhouette shook his head. "God no, Father. I've dreamed of this person, played with myself imagining this person. This person is like if sex could walk and talk. God, Father Castiel, the list could go on forever." The way Castiel heard his name being rolled off the other man's tongue practically had himself signing a contract with the devil. "Are you here to be forgiven for your sins?" He asked, a little more breathless than he'd intended. There was a quiet chuckle and a small shake of the head, it was evident this man heard the flustered pant Castiel gave. "Not at all father. Just wanted to see how easy it was to shake up my little stallion" The man said before he was sauntering out of the confession booth. Castiel gave a little gasp, feeling extremely embarrassed. He slammed open the doors of confession, startling several of the people in it. He looked at the smirking figure who stood in the doorway of the church, waiting to say what Castiel would do or say. Castiel panted slightly, shooing everyone out of the church. "I'm very sorry," He kept repeating. "But the church is closed due to urgent business" He looked at the cowboy who still leaned on the doorway, locking it as the doors closed behind the last person. The man raised an eyebrow. "Hm...

...Madison Frank Prof. Fatemi West Civ to Reform 8 June 2015 Current Event in Greece The following couple of days will characterize Mr. Tsipras, Greece's. He will need to pick between sparing his nation and staying with a bankrupt far-left philosophy. On the off chance that he is keen, he can secure a couple of more concessions from banks and a goodish arrangement for Greece. If not, he will drag the nation into the void. For a considerable length of time, Mr. Tsipras has been attempting to ride two stallions. He has needed to stop Greece's defaulting on its obligations and stopping the euro, while expanding open spending and loosening up changes that are making Greece more aggressive. The new due date of June 30 for paying a sum of €1.6 billion methods Mr. Tsipras won't have the capacity to ride both stallions any longer. He will soon need to choose whether to grapple with his banks. He can enhance the "nonsensical" offer on the table a bit, yet not by a considerable measure. In the event that he does an arrangement, he may part his radical Syriza party. Be that as it may, he would have the capacity to call another decision, kick out the dissidents and most likely win a new order with an expanded larger part. In my opinion I believe he should do what is best for his country. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/08/business/international/a-defining-moment-for-greek-leader.html?ref=topics Madison Frank Prof. Fatemi West Civ to Reform 8 June 2015 Sappho Sappho was...

Problem related to social environment (afraid of losing his best friend Shrek). Axis V – GAF = 41 Histrionic personality disorder and borderline personality disorder are examples of disorders that this paper will discuss of two characters from the movie Shrek 2. The paper aims at highlighting the symptoms, as well as the treatment for the two disorders. Personality Disorders According to DSM’s categorization of disorders, Axis II disorders comprise personality and mental retardation disorders. Personality disorders are defined as those behaviors that tend to deviate from cultural and individual expectations. They are an enduring pattern in behaving that departs from what would be considered normal behaviors within the culture as well as to the individual. The quality of existence of a deviating behavior occurring for a sustained (enduring) period is usually the primary diagnostic criteria for a person suffering from a personality disorder. Histrionic Personality Disorders Histrionic personality disorders are defined by the DSM as a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking...

...which acts as a fermentation chamber, cause the digestion of plant fibers. Plant fibres are hydrolysed into soluble sugars that are changed into volatile fatty acids and absorbed by the epithelium providing 60-70% of the horse’s energy (St-Pierre et al., 2012). Horse Reproduction Horses are seasonally polyestrous. Estrous cycles normally start when day length increases after winter, although the start of regular estrus cycles can differ greatly. Mares close to stallions will ovulate earlier and more often than mares that aren’t (Wespi et al., 2014). Pregnancy lasts roughly eleven months. Mares mating early in the season have longer pregnancies than mares mating later (Davies-Morel, 2008). A complete estrus cycle is about 3 weeks long which means there are 5-7 days of estrus and around 2 days of diestrus . When in the estrus period mares repeatedly approach stallions, urinate frequently, movie their tail away from the perineum standing still with hind legs spread. When they are in the diestrus period they avoid stallions and will act aggressively towards them if they try to court. Mares’ behaviour in their estrus period is caused by estradiol secreted by the follicle. Estrus behaviour is stopped by progesterone secreted from the corpus luteum. Mares are unusual as they can exhibit estrus behaviour during the anovultory period. This is most likely caused by estrogenic steroids secreted by the adrenal cortex. The display of sexual behaviour in the mare throughout the year is thought...

...before the final curtain. In Medea by Euripides, Medea’s actions in pursuit of justice and revenge against Jason are foreshadowed by the statements of the chorus, Medea’s dialogue with Aegeus, and the statements and actions of Medea. Throughout the play, three women, also known as the chorus, follow the journey Medea makes and commentate on what is happening. These women provide the reader with omens that help the audience know what happens next in the play before it actually happens. These three omens are “a young mare broke from her chariot and tore with her teeth a stallion” (Medea 2: 13-4), “a slave came up to the harbor-gate, carrying a basket of new-caught fish; one of the fish took fire and burned in the wet basket with a high flame” (2: 22-4), and “a black leopard was seen gliding through the market place” (2: 24). The horse omen foreshadows Medea, the mare, coming after and attacking Jason, the stallion. The fish omen foreshadows how Creusa and Creon die, like the fish, by burning from a fire. The leopard omen foreshadows the darkness and evil that will take over Corinth. Lastly, the women say “and women they say can do no good but in childbirth. It may be so, but she can do evil” (1: 231). This foreshadows that Medea will become evil and commit evil acts. Another instance in which foreshadowing plays an important role in the play is through the dialogue of Aegeus and Medea. It is in this conversation where Medea first gets the idea of killing her children in her plan...

If you are not prepared, you are unlucky.” —Jane Savoie, U.S. Olympic Equestrian Athlete AtlanticRider.com has established itself as the most popular website for horse enthusiasts in Atlantic Canada. In the first 10 days of 2004, the Riders’ Forum alone hosted more than 85 000 page views by its 1129 registered members and other visitors (considered “lurkers” because they visit, but don’t post). This is an amazing accomplishment for a site with a target market of approximately 3851 participants who ride and drive about 18 000 horses. The present challenge for the CEO of AtlanticRider.com is to overhaul the site in a way that meets current challenges and ensures future success (see Exhibit 6-1). The Initial Business Model AtlanticRider.com is a web portal serving horse enthusiasts in Atlantic Canada and beyond (see Exhibit 6-2).

Music is sort of like playing a role-playing video game. It takes the listener to a far off land where anything is possible. For me, my favorite feelings that I get from music are those of adventure, energy, and beauty. Adventurous music is frequently found in film soundtracks. The opening theme of The Rescuers Down Under starts with peaceful animal noises and then explodes into drums, horns, and maracas, only to fade away again back into a single drawn-out violin note. This is a really effective piece of music because the sudden explosion of sound is loud, unexpected, and a bit erratic. Spirits: Stallion of the Cimarron contains another of my favorite adventure songs in its main theme. It starts with a lonely horn and gradually adds in percussion and violins until it swells into full force with French horns. With music in this adventurous genre, I feel like...
