Kentucky Horse Park – Arabian by Just chaos

Breed Info

The Arabian horse (arabic: ??? ) is a breed of horse that originated in the Middle East. With a distinctive head shape and high tail carriage, the Arabian is one of the most easily recognizable horse breeds in the world. It is one of the oldest horse breeds, with archaeological evidence of horses that resemble modern Arabians dating back 4,500 years. Throughout history, Arabian horses from the Middle East spread around the world by both war and trade, used to improve other breeds by adding speed, refinement, endurance, and good bone. Today, Arabian bloodlines are found in almost every modern breed of riding horse.

Flying Heart Fundraiser

News Bot — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:22:39 +0000

Custom Glazed H-R Ferseyn Arab by Gerhardt currently on MyAuctionBarn.com

Our dear friend and longtime hobbyist, Melissa Gaulding, needs our help. Her husband has cancer, and the bills have become unmanageable, to the point where she must sacrifice her own collection. Mel was always one of the first people in line to give when other people were had difficulty, so we are very anxious to return the favor and help her.

Over the next few weeks, we will be auctioning and selling items from this website:

http://www.rhiannondesign.com/Melly/

The items will cover all media, including Mel’s beloved chinas. We are also actively seeking donations of goods and money. There is a Paypal button on the site that you can use to donate cash (please be careful not to mark this as a donation). And Brian and Shallon have graciously agreed to waive all fees for auctions on Mel’s behalf (just select the category “Flying Heart Fundraiser” and use the Featured Auction extra) on AB.

We would be grateful for your help. Thank you!

Barrel Racing

Barrel racing is a rodeo event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a clover-leaf pattern around preset barrels in the fastest time. Though both boys and girls compete at the youth level and men compete in some amateur venues, in collegiate and professional ranks, it is primarily a rodeo event for women. It combines the horse’s athletic ability and the horsemanship skills of a rider in order to safely and successfully maneuver a horse through a clover leaf pattern around three barrels (typically three fifty-five gallon metal or plastic drums) placed in a triangle in the center of an arena.

In timed rodeo events, the purpose is to make a run as fast as possible, while the time is being clocked either by an electronic eye, (a device using a laser system to record times), or by an arena attendant or judge who manually takes the time using a keen eye and a flag to let a clocker know when to hit the timer stop; though this last method is more commonly seen in local and non-professional events.

The timer begins when horse and rider cross the start line, and ends when the barrel pattern has been successfully executed and horse and rider cross the finish line. The rider’s time depends on several factors, most commonly the horse’s physical and mental condition, the rider’s horsemanship abilities, and the type of ground or footing (the quality, depth, content, etc. of the sand or dirt in the arena).
