Gili Islands is home to the long suffering and poorly treated carriage ponies-YES they capture ponies from neighboring islands and put them to work sometimes up to eighteen hours a day. They are emaciated, have little rest, drink salt water and have no medical care. They have no pasture in which to graze and they are always hitched up to a carriage. They live a miserable existence because their owners do not know how to care for them. The ponies are moneymakers, worked to the bone and then slaughtered and replaced when they cannot pull any more. They were once wild horses that were captured and now brought to the Gili Islands to begin their life of slavery. They ARE clearly ponies because of their small size, which ranges from 11-14 hands
This research paper discusses the Three Mile Island incident to include what started it, the results in the aftermath, and how it could have been prevented. The Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) reactor, near Middletown, Pa., partially melted down on March 28, 1979. This was the most serious accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant operating history, although its small radioactive releases had no detectable health effects on plant workers or the public. Its aftermath brought about sweeping changes involving emergency response planning, reactor operator training, human factors engineering, radiation protection, and many other areas of nuclear power plant operations. It also caused the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) to tighten and
I remember as a little kid and now being fascinated by race horses. When I was around eight years old, my grandfather took me to a farm where they raise race horses. They were out exercising Mine That Bird and a few other horses. I thought it was so fascinating! The owner walked up to and asked if I enjoy watching them, I said very shyly,” yes sir.” He took me to the barn and let me look at all the foals and I was astonished. I got to thinking what all do they have to do to get these young foals ready to one day race? I asked Mr. Allen, and he said, “there are many things that you can do but some people don’t do the right thing and they cheat their way to victory”.
The horse (Equus ferus caballus)[2][3] is one of two extant subspecies of Equus ferus. It is an odd-toed ungulate mammal belonging to the taxonomic family Equidae. The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC. Horses in the subspecies caballus are domesticated, although some domesticated populations live in the wild as feral horses. These feral populations are not true wild horses, as this term is used to describe horses that have never been domesticated, such as the endangered Przewalski's horse, a separate subspecies, and the only remaining true wild horse. There is an extensive, specialized vocabulary used to describe equine-related concepts, covering everything from anatomy to life stages, size, colors, markings, breeds, locomotion, and behavior.
Wild ponies of Chincoteague are from Asstatuge because of the poor weather in Asststuge. Also, horses from Asstatuge are pony size.
There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself
The acquisition of horses
Have you ever heard about The Wild Horses of Assategue Island? The illustration on page 24 shows horses on the beach, and I see horses walking out of the water onto the land. This compares to the article because it shows how the horses were brought to live on the island. Another illustration on page 25 shows a big belly horse and short one that looks like a pony. This compares to the
Many historic places have gone through numerous transformations from the start of its creation, during or after. The site underwent multiple stages of transformations. The “birth” of the location took place 1829. The Staten Island Farm Colony began with only two acres of land. With success came the need of more land, which led to another purchase of land that vastly expanded its territory. The ninety- one acre purchase of land allowed the colonists to cultivate more crops. There was so much land that there was a lot more room to experiment with. The Staten Island Farm Colony originally started as a poor farm ("NYC Farm Colony & Seaview Hospital”). The idea of this expansion came shortly after the realization that the colony was growing in

Equine were essential to the survival of early islanders. A lame horse resulted in the fields not being plowed, a large portion of chores could not being accomplished, and travel taking significantly longer. Thus, unlike cows and pigs, horses were
This article was written on September 9, 2015 by Bonnie Shelton. It is called "Rupert family's pet pony dragged by vehicle, abused". The subject is based on an abused animal in Southern Idaho.
In 1996, Dennis and Cindy Thompson, a couple on a business trip to Great Britain, spotted a black and white magical horse, Cushti Bok, in the middle of a field. Cushti Bok became the first Gypsy stallion to be imported to America. It was love at first sight for the couple and the this marvelous horse. They immediately met with the owner of this horse, who would soon invite them to a 300 years old traditional fair, the Appleby Fair. By 2015 over 4,000 Gypsy Vanner horses were registered horses. The Gypsy horse society was the first to register this breed, to recognize a selectively bred horse by the Gypsies of the British aisle. The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society (GVHS) has studied not only the horse, but also the people who have bred them. This
Serenity Springs is a small resort in Michigan City that gives people a place to get away. They have cabins for people who wish to stay in their resort. One way of transportation around Serenity Springs is on a horse and buggy. It wasn’t until early September that people noticed the poor condition of the Draft horses used to pull the carts. In the beginning just a few people and employees noticed that the three older mares being used were not being taken care of properly.
Ever since I was a child I knew that I wanted to work with animals. Horses, in particular, have always fascinated me. After much begging, pleading, years of convincing, and always working hard to save up money, I convinced my parents to allow me to buy a horse. To me, Indie was the most beautiful quarter horse I could have ever dreamed of getting. Since our purchase of Indie, we have acquired another horse, Sherman, and a pony, Tucker. Although the horses have always been hard work, they were worth every sweaty hot summer evening of mucking out the stalls and frigid winter mornings of carrying water to the trough in order to avoid freezing our hoses. After all, I used to dream of being a veterinarian and helping all kinds of animals in some way.
“On average, 24 horses die per week on racetracks in the U.S.” (Cohen). This is due to the horrible mistreatment and horrendous training methods used on too young horses. However, the racetrack is not the only place where horses are abused. Horse shows, show rings, large business stables, smaller private barns; wherever a horse can be found, there is potential for some sort of animal abuse. There is not one certain breed or type of horse that is most commonly abused, every horse around the world can be subject to mistreatment. Unfortunately, there are not many laws that protect these horses, and some people merely turn their heads away. That is why there should be more laws against the abusive techniques applied by many equestrians in the equine
