Cloud: the roundup

Cloud: as a baby
Remember Cloud? I've talked about him in a few posts. The picture below is him. He's a baby in this picture. He's about 5 hours old. He's a beautiful little baby, don't you think so too? He was pretty thin when he was born, but by and by he got through and soon he was prancing around on strong, nimble legs. He lives in Montana, in the mountains. It's cold there in winter, and very hot in summer. Spring and fall are sometimes cold.

horse gymnastics: VERY dangerous
Have you ever heard of, "Horse gymnastics?" People have to be very well trained to do this. They do gymnastics on horse back, sometimes while cantering or trotting fast. They have to learn how to be on a team. First, a man or woman runs with the horse. Then they grab onto the handles on the horse's saddle and pull themselves on. Then another person gets on, the people do twists, turns, jumps, and even flips on the moving horse. Then when they're done, they jump off. If a person falls off, or does something wrong, it will lose points for the team. It's very beautiful to watch!

What kind of horse do I want? Information about the horse I want
What kind of horse do I want? Do I want a boy or girl? What do I want it to be used for? What kind of style do I want to ride? Where should I get my horse? These are all questions that I've been asking myself for a while. I know that I'm probably not going to get a horse till I'm all grown up, and have a job. But I still ask myself questions about what kind of horse I want get, and what do I want to use it for? Well, I'll tell you. I want it to be a beautiful mare, probably a sorrel, bay, black, brown, or chestnut. (Something that I'll be able to keep clean.) I want my horse to be calm, and not bite or kick at me or any other horse or person. I want to ride....................let's see..........probably Western, but I'm not sure. I want my horse to be used for riding, (maybe showing, we'll see.) I want it to be a Quarter horse, or a paint or a.......................well, I'm not sure, there are so many good kinds, I just want to have them all!

Did you know that in some cities you can still pay to take a carriage ride?
In some cities, you can still pay to take a carriage ride. This is usually at fairs or events. Sometimes the carriages are fancy, and sometimes they're not. It's fun to ride on a carriage, (I think,) I've never actually done it before, though.
Did you know that Indians painted on horses?
A long time ago when the Indians were around with their horses, the Indians painted their horses. They would paint around their horses eyes, and put their hands in paint and then put them on the horses. They did this probably because they thought it looked pretty, and because they were making things to show people that these were their horses.
Where do the most wild horses live?
Wild horses can still be found on public lands and special wildlife refuges in many parts of the United States. These beautiful and tough horses are on the verge of becoming extinct because of growth of cities, towns, and even factory farms. Many wild horses are caught in roundups where they live. Horses are either rounded up by men on horseback, or people lure them into corals. scientists have found truly wild horses. Horses that are wild are not truly wild, but scientists have found horses that are truly wild. They live in Mongolia. They are called, Przewalkski's Horse. These horses are almost extinct, there are very few of them still left in the wild.
taking care of an orpahaned foal
Orphaned foals are foals that don't have mothers. Usually the foal's mother has died while, or a few minutes after birth. Or the mother could be sick or hurt and isn't able to take care of her foal. Many people love foals and try to save them from being killed by their mothers if the mothers aren't producing any milk for the foal to drink. Usually foals are rescued from their mother and are up for adoption. It may be hard to take care of a foal if you already own a few other horses. If you do decide to buy and take care of a foal, and you might have a mare who can take care of the foal, go for it! The first thing to do when you're looking for a mare to adopt a foal, is to try to pick a mare who has had a foal before, because she may still have milk and she may not act aggressively with the foal and bite it or kick it. If the mare does this, you need to immediately move the mare or the foal away before she injures or kills the foal.
