Painted Horse Breeds
Painted Horse Breeds.
In Spanish the word is pintado, which means painted - or if you're a cowboy, you'd simply call these horses, paint. Another term used for these animals, because of their spots or partial coloring, is calico. This breed is nearly identical to the American Quarter Horse, however the only difference is the color. Many people are of the opinion that, because the Painted Horse is just like the Quarter Horse but with a splash of color, they are truly some of the most beautiful and exquisite horses in the world.Canter Lead Problems
Horseback Archery
Originally, Native Americans and Indigenous people from other territories developed mounted archery for hunting and also to fight the adversaries. On the plains of the United States buffalo hunting was quit possibly the widest-recorded example of bow-hunting by mounted archers. Extremely gifted equestrian skills are imperative for this sport, since a bow requires the rider to release the reins and use both hands to shoot accurately at great speeds.

Barrel Racing - Part Two: Training your horse
You must have a large enough area to set up your barrels, though it does not need to be regulation size for training. Dirt is a much better surface because grass can get slippery, which is a danger for horse and rider. Putting large tractor tires around the barrels is a good idea.

Barrel Racing - Part One
Originally, barrel racing was invented for women so they could compete with each other in a fair, yet challenging event. The 55 gallon Texas oil drums were used in a cloverleaf pattern with two left-turns and one right. With roping horses the ladies would see who could get through the course with the fastest time.
The Facts About Horse Breeds
BREED:
The Quarter Horse The number one horse breed from around the world is the Quarter Horse. There are over 3 million of these horses that are registered, according to The American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA). It is thought this breed became popular when the colonists brought their racehorses into the west. One of the most-loved sports during the early years of the United States were the one-quarter mile races, usually run through the streets of the local town or along the country lanes and paths. The race was called "Quarter Pathers."
