 Did you know that laughter is contagious? It is. Laughter can be the best thing around. A positive person is more willing to accept a situation or if it needs improving they try to improve. A negative person is not willing to see anything good in the situation. A positive person is more open- minded. Does this mean that a person who laughs and enjoys being around others who are just as happy are more emotionally satisfied and happy. The answer to this is yes.

Humor lets you feel in control of your situations and make them seem manageable. It will allow you to release anger, fear, and stress. As you know any of these can do harm to your body over a period of time. Humor is very important to our mental health. Humor makes us feel good. It will increase our energy and with this we can do things we might not otherwise do. Humor affects our behavior. We may talk more, touch others and even be able to make eye contact with others.

Without humor our minds would become stale and this could lead to depression. Having humor helps us to replace depressing emotions with good feelings. If you practice good humor you will not be feeling depressed, angry, anxious, or resentful. Humor gives us the ability to connect with others. Does my life run smoother when I can laugh easier? Why would I want to be stressed out if it affects my health and happiness? Laughter will keep us younger. We must be able to see the humor in events that other wise might turn into stress.

No matter what adversities we have in our lives we must have room for laughter. If possible we can use our adversities to our advantage in a humorous way. We know that it is easy to laugh when we feel good. It’s even easier to feel good when we laugh. Always be considerate of others and their situation but don’t stop your laughing. Just know when, where and how much is proper. Laughter has been phrased “laughter is the best medicine”. We know that this is true.

Laughter affects your brain and there is where all the messages are sent out to the different areas of your body. Laughter is good for your body inside and out. Sometimes when you can experience good times with family, friends, or your spouse and laughter is involved it is like getting a shot in the arm. Laughter is good for our emotional well being.

Expose yourself to funny things, comedy programs, joke books, etc… Hang around with people that are funny and enjoy humor. Research has shown laughter with numerous positive outcomes. There are no known negative side effects to laughter. A little chuckle each day will keep us laughing a little longer. A good laugh can release anger, fear, and stress. All of these can cause harm to the body over a period of time. We need to use the power of smiles and laughter to help heal as well as prevention. Laughter is a good medicine. No matter what adversities we have in our lives we must have room for laughter.

If possible we can use our adversities to our advantage in a humorous way. We know that it is easy to laugh when we feel good. It’s even easier to feel good when we laugh. The problem comes if you are angry or hurting. The more laughter you have in your life the less stress you’ll have. If we can laugh at ourselves, that will be a way of accepting and respecting ourselves.

Without this it could lower our self esteem. When we feel good and can laugh it make us feel good and feel more in control of our surroundings and situations. When we are laughing and happy and emotionally happy we feel like we are on top of the world. We see this and feel this, so do the other people around us. I usually here ‘you must have got in the bed early last night’. I usually answer ‘no I just feel good’ And hope my good mood catches on.

 To select horses for a breeding program you should make your selection based first on disposition, conformation and athletic ability, pedigree, compatability of color with our strain.

If you find a horse that possesses all of these qualities and it happens to be homozygous, (possessing two identical forms (alleles) of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent, for breeding true that’s great, if not, you may try to cross it with one that is. Others, select horses for their ruggedness; excellent feet, leg, and bone; confirmation; temperament; intelligence and cowiness, as do all good foundation breeders.

So, what sets the best horses apart? We suggest that you select horses with extended elastic strides and good suspension in addition to large, hard, round, mostly black or striped hooves, but you will need to work out your own requirements.

Choosing a horse for a jumping breeding candidate will clearly have different qualifications than one chosen for, for example, flat racing. Just because a horse has a wall full of show awards does not mean he’ll be the best choice for backpacking into the wilderness on an elk hunt. You have to really think through the characteristics you seek to develop and don’t lose hold of those requirements when selecting which you will breed from.

Selecting a Horse to Buy

When looking at a horse for sale’ ads, remember that the right personality is a number one requirement. But, the horses personality is either mentioned near the last, or not at all! Imagine choosing your human mate this way a Oh, yes that must be a good one: good looking, well bred, very highly skilled in his/her field.

However do be very careful when buying a horse buying an unsuitable horse and thinking it will be easy to fix, is usually a bad idea. In our experience nothing could be farther from the truth.

How to select a Horse at a Riding stables

When selecting a horse at a riding centre it is suggested that it is best to choose one where you can select a horse from a well trained herd, of 60 heads or more. For novices, be sure that they can accommodate beginners to experts. the best stables pride themselves on safety and the emphasis is placed on proper riding.

Selecting a Horse Trailer

Selecting a horse trailer is one of the most important decisions a horse owner can make. Because it’s very easy to be overwhelmed by fancy options and shiny construction materials, it is extremely important to keep in mind that the number one priority when shopping for a trailer is safety.

Selecting a Horse Trainer

The trainer should be able to unlock the full potentials of the horse. Training should not be brutal, or hard on the horse.

Remember, when hiring a horse trainer, you should always look for the best candidate available. However, don’t assume that overall care for the horse is guaranteed by the trainer. Remember that when you get the horse home it may take a while to settle in so don’t panic if you encounter some settling in problems simply take things slowly and work them through. Remember that the horse trainer needs a happy and content horse to work with if he or she is to get the best from your steed.

We simply cannot emphasise too highly that to learn natural horsemanship is by far the best. As are far as we are concerned it literally works wonders!

 When you have horses for sale you will inevitably have clients out to see your horse in person. If you have not had much experience in buying and selling horses, it is hard to know how best to present your horse to bring out his best characteristics for the clients.

The first thing to keep in mind is that first impressions can may or break a sale. Take a look at your barn. Is it clean and presentable? Are the stalls cleaned out, the aisle raked or swept, and the paddocks well fenced and clear of dangerous obstacles? If not you may need to upgrade your barn. From some facilities this can be a simple clean-up job. Other places are a lost cause and need lots of time and money to make them presentable. If this is the case you might want to look into boarding your sales horse at a local stable that has a good standard of care.

Assuming that your facility is in good shape you next need to consider your horse. While you can’t help it if your horse is shaggy in the winter, but whether sleek coated or extra hairy your horse should be groomed to a shine. If he is especially dusty but it is too cold for a bath you can hot towel the coat rubbing out the worst of the dirt. Excess hairs should be trimmed so that they are tidy. If your horse has white markings they should be scrubbed so that any stains are taken out. If the weather is nice the best idea is to give your horse a thorough bath to show him off the best.

Depending on your horse’s breed and discipline, you should ensure that your horse looks well suited to his job. If your horse is a show prospect he should look as though he could go to a show tomorrow. If he is a pleasure horse he should be clean and well trimmed, but he should not look as though he is ring-ready. Know your horse’s discipline and groom accordingly.

If your horse is a baby or cannot be ridden, make sure there is a free arena or paddock that the buyers can watch your horse move freely in. If your horse is started under saddle be sure to have a safe, fenced area in which the buyer can try the horse. Any tack, equipment, halters and brushes should be clean and in good repair. Make sure that there is someone who can ride your horse for the client before they try him as they will want to see him go under saddle.

For horses who are experienced in the ring or who have accomplishments under their belts it is a good idea to have an album of photographs or a video available to show the buyers when they arrive. For homebreds it is a good idea to have photos of the sire and dam if they are not available to be seen on property.

When the buyers arrive your horse should be in its stall, well groomed and ready to show. Your tack should be near at hand so you don’t need to waste time trying to find it. Most buyers will want to see the horse without tack first, then under saddle. If your horse is hot and needs to be longed or ridden before the buyer arrives, spend time well in advance preparing him, then bring him back into the barn to meet the clients. Be honest with them about your preparation of the horse, to do otherwise is dishonest and could lead to disaster if the client buys the horse and becomes injured because they did not know what the horse was really like.

Take your time with the clients, but be aware that they may have other place to go and be on a time limit. If they are interested go ahead and show them your other horses, but many buyers are focused on the horse they are looking at and have no desire to see the rest of the farm.

By presenting your farm and your horse at their best you increase the chance that the buyer will not only want to purchase your horse, but that they will be willing to pay the price you are asking. A poorly groomed horse at an unkempt facility only makes buyers want to dicker with the price and may completely turn them off before they even truly look at the horse. Taking good care of your horse and your clients will give you the best chance for a successful sale.

 When you have babies around the farm it is sometimes hard to leave them alone and wait until they are old enough to start under saddle training. Fortunately there are other things that you can do with your young horses to keep you busy and to prepare them for their future.

Many horse shows offer line classes for young horses. In these classes the horses are led around the ring and are judged on their movement and conformation. Additional classes may be offered where the handler is judged for their ability to show off the horse on the line.

If you have a registered horse you may find that there are shows specific to their breed that provide line classes for young horses. Some of these classes even offer good prize money and futurities. Contact your breed organization to find out what shows they may have available for your youngster.

The first step in preparing your baby to show on the line is to teach them to lead properly. They should walk beside you with his shoulder at your shoulder. The walk should be forward so that your horse’s natural movement is showcased. Depending on your breed and discipline you may need to train your horse to walk in a bridle or in a halter. Either way he should walk calmly with some contact, but not a tight lead, which could interfere with his movement.

When your youngster is confident at a walk, it is time to teach him to trot in hand. Start up a short jogging stride beside your horse, not necessarily going fast, just getting your movement into a jogging pace. Most horses will quickly pick up a trot in response to your movement. If you horse does not pick up on this subtle signal you may need to carry a dressage whip to tap him on his quarters to encourage him to move on. Similarly you could recruit a helper to use the whip behind him to chase him forward until he gets the idea.

Another important thing your baby should learn is how to stand. Staying still for any length of time is challenging to any youngster, so start with short sessions and gradually lengthen them. Fortunately the judge only looks at one horse at a time, so when he is not looking at your horse you can allow him to relax if he is not happy standing still.

These basic lessons are excellent introductions to the skills your horse will need once he is going under saddle. By attending shows with your baby he will learn to relax at different locations and to accept trips on the trailer. The time spent braiding and bathing him will prepare him for the many baths and grooming session he will enjoy later in life.

There is really no need to rush a baby into under saddle training. They need to wait until they have sufficiently matured to be able to safely carry a rider, which isn’t until they are at least three years old. In the meantime try training your baby to show on the line. It is a fun and rewarding experience that any horse owner can enjoy with their youngster.
