EQUINE RESOURCES:Riding on the Roadby Jan DawsonPresident, American Association for Horsemanship Safety
With spring comes the desire to ride out. Not just out, but out and down the road. How safe is it? At a recent conference we did at the Vermont Law School, the subject of road safety came up and without exception all were concerned, not with the basic rules of the road, but instead with the behavior of drivers which seems to get worse every year.

EQUINE WISDOM: HORSE QUOTES
A dog looks up to you. A cat looks down on you. But a horse looks at you and sees an equal. —Winston Churchill (modified slightly!)
God forbid that I should go to any heaven in which there are no horses.—R.B. Cunninghame-Graham
I realize that the concept of wild horses probably stirs romantic notions in many of you, but this is because you have never met any wild horses in person ... They amble up to your camp site, and their attitude is: "We're wild horses. We're going to eat your food, knock down your tent and poop on your shoes. We're protected by federal law, just like Richard Nixon."—Dave Barry, "Tenting Grandpa Bob"
When one is on horseback he knows all things.—George Herbert
In riding a horse, we borrow freedom.—Pam Brown
I know nothing about racing and any money I put on a horse is a sort of insurance policy to prevent it winning.—Frank Richardson

The word "equine" makes most of us think "horse." It's easy to understand why; horses are certainly the most familiar (and usually the most favored) equine species, with a long history of service in the world of human beings. But horses by no means have a monopoly on the qualities we admire most in them, such as strength, beauty, and endurance. Other equine species have these qualities, too, from the lowly donkey to the dazzling zebra.
We love our horses, but we'd like to take this opportunity to honor those equids who live in the shadow of their more popular equine cousin.
Equidae Equus Horses are members of the family Equidae, which is one of three families in the order Perissodactyla. It may surprise you to learn that the Perissodactyla (meaning "odd toed") order includes the tapirs, which look a little like pigs, and the Rhinoceros. These very distant cousins of the horse have three toes on each foot, while all equine species have just one.
There are seven equine species in the genus Equus, including Equus Equus caballus, the domestic horse. The other six members of the genus are Equus Ferus przewalskii, or "Przewalski horse" (known in its native Mongolia as the "takhi"), Equus Hippotigris burchelli (the Plains, Burchelli's or Grant's zebra), Equus Hippotigris zebra (the mountain zebra), Equus Dolichohippus grevyi (Grevy's zebra), and the two species of donkey known as Equus Asinus africanus and Equus Asinus hemionus. Each equine is genetically very similar all other members of the genus. All equine species possess the ability to interbreed. Horses, for example, can be crossed with donkeys or zebras to produce viable offspring that possesses some of the qualities of both species.

Horse People Poll: Do you love horses? Tell us why!
I have been training horses for more than 45 years and I have yet to meet a horse that lies or wants to hurt anyone without a reason. The affection, trust and respect I get from the horses has NEVER been duplicated by anyone else (except my dog). Nothing is more beautiful than a horse for grace and athleticism. No matter the breed, size or color, horses give their best when they understand what you're asking. If you can communicate with a horse you can communicate with almost anyone. I've watched people change and become happier, better adjusted and healthier from their exposure to horses. This phenomena is displayed in the increasing number of "handicapped" programs and prisons using horses. No matter what your religious belief horses are one of nature's greatest creations.

For answers to many of the commonly asked questions please take a moment and look through our Help files or our Virtual Resource Room.
From cave paintings it is believed that the equid from which modern horses are derived resemble the modern Przewalski Horse. The large strong heads and erect manes depicted in these paintings bear a striking resemblance to this modern breed.
The first domestication of the horses was probably in the steppes of central Asia between 3000 and 4000 B.C. These first animals were kept for meat and milk. As early man became more mobile undoubtedly horses began to be used as pack animals.
Oxen were being used in the Middle East at approximately 4000 B.C. for plowing. Progressively they were used on sleds, which were eventually mounted on rollers, with the final evolution of wheels. Early in the 3rd millennium B.C. there is archeological evidence that vehicles drawn by equid, generally onagers or ass hybrids, were being used in warfare. As horses from the north became more numerous the carts moved to the familiar two-wheeled chariot with spoked wheels. Due to his greater speed the horse rapidly replaced other equid as harness animals.

Horse Health Information and Equine CareWhen you begin to care for the health of a horse, there's so much to learn that it may seem impossible to learn it all. From the daily care of hooves to maintaining your horse's teeth, joints and internal health, you are responsible for a lot of animal! Keeping your horse healthy involves choosing the right feed, watching out for colic and other digestive problems, paying attention to foot and leg issues, riding with the proper tack, correct grooming, regular vaccinations and deworming, and a hundred other details.
Like humans, horses are affected by weather, need to be housed and fed properly, and may experience sprains, strains and soreness of the back and legs. Illness or pain affect not only the way they move but the way they feel, so that a healthy horse will tend to be happier than one who isn’t feeling up to snuff. Some illnesses or injuries appear first as changes in mood; your normally jolly or equable equine may become moody, surly or unwilling when there's something physically wrong that hasn't yet appeared as lameness, sickness or other injury.

Like humans, horses are affected by weather, need to be housed and fed properly, and may experience sprains, strains and soreness of the back and legs. Illness or pain affect not only the way they move but the way they feel, so that a healthy horse will tend to be happier than one who isn’t feeling up to snuff. Some illnesses or injuries appear first as changes in mood; your normally jolly or equable equine may become moody, surly or unwilling when there's something physically wrong that hasn't yet appeared as lameness, sickness or other injury.
