Horse Photo Manipulating Tips
31st Jan 2012
|
|
Graphics PonyBox is the whole reason I starting manipulating. I may not be good as some of the other players on here, but I think I am at that stage where I can give out some pointers/tips that I have learned throughout my year of manipulating.
If you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an editing software, GIMP is the way to go! GIMP is a free manipulation software that you can download.

My First Love - An Appaloosa
by Faith forever on 30th Jan 2012
|
Horse Stories
Faith was my first love. Faith is a 3 year old appaloosa. I still remember the day I got her. It was August 15th and it was raining off and on. My uncle called a guy named Bruce. He had a little Appaloosa and a Barrel Racer that he might consider selling. When me and my cousin went to view the horses he decided that he did not want to sell the Barrel Racer. |

How Horses Changed My Life - Part III - The End
by Hikari on 28th Jan 2012
|
Horse Stories
Phoebe Dee was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. Her coat was pure black, and when she was brushed, the light reflected off it as if it were a diamond. But I only found tht out when I brushed her at the yard to test her stable manners. Because despite her beauty, Phoebe Dee hadn't been brushed in a while. Or ridden. Or even handled. Her previous owner had died several months ago, and she'd been left at that yard ever since, with no proper care. They had fed her, but that was about it. God knows why it took them so long to put her up for sale. |

The Nature of the Crazy Eventer
26th Jan 2012
|
|
Shows and Events Those of you who event, or know somebody who events, will surely agree with me when I say that the sport defies all logic. It’s like trying to take a convertible around a 4X4 track, or going skydiving using a plastic packet as a parachute. It is completely nonsensical, no matter how you look at it. You break your bank account and put in HOURS of hard work just to risk your life galloping at breakneck speed toward a number of solid obstacles designed specifically to separate you from your steed.

How Horses Changed My Life - Part II
by Hikari on 25th Jan 2012
|
Horse Stories
But all good things come to an end. Matt got cancer in 2009, and became unable to come to the yard often enough. He asked me if I could carry on going there to look after his horses, and of course, I agreed. I really made an effort to make each horse feel loved even without their owner. But only after a short month, Matt passed away.
I want to add in a few words here in respect to Matt. He taught me everything I know today about keeping horses. He taught me that they were not stupid beasts who want to hurt you, but the most sweetest, kindest souls who will be there for you, no matter how ignorant you act. He was a good man, and even now, we all remember him.
He left his horses and the land to his younger brother, who really didn't have any use for them except put them up for sale. I begged and begged mum to let me buy Skylar, but she refused, saying it was too big a commitment. Skylar was bought by a family who lived a few hours away, too far for me to visit. I never saw her again. |

Should Equestrian Vaulters Be Required To Wear Helmets?
by Oak Valley on 23rd Jan 2012
|
General
One of the main questions in vaulting is why don't we wear helmets? The answer is that all of the experts, world wide, confer that not only do helmets not improve safety; they can actually increase the risk of injury.
The reason helmets are not considered to improve safety is because there is nothing hard for the vaulter to hit their head on. In vaulting the horse is kept on a circle, which causes falls to travel away from the horse and keeps the vaulter away from walls or other hard objects. Vaulting requires soft footing, which easily provides more protection than a helmet could. Proper vaulting lessons teach the key safety skills first. There are proper ways to approach a vaulting horse, dismounting, and safe ways to "bail out" if balance is lost. |

How Horses Changed My Life - Part I
by Hikari on 22nd Jan 2012

Horse Stories
I didn't begin my life being obsessed with horses. I didn't look at them and think they were beautiful or cute. I looked at them and saw stupid beasts who would try and hurt me. I wasn't alone, all my friends felt the same. I come from quite a rough area in Bristol, England. I had no respect for anyone except the people who were tougher than me. Not even my own family. I was constantly involved with things that I knew were both dangerous and illegal. By the age of 11, I was already part of a gang. For people who don't have much experience with gangs, we like to show off to each other. We do stupid and reckless things to gain respect from the other members of the gang. This was how I got involved with horses.
A man who lived in our area owned several horses, who lived out in the feild in all weathers. When I was 13, a boy in our gang came up with the idea to jump over the field fence, run up to a horse, climb onto it and see how long we could stay on. Because we all wanted the respect of our gang leader, we all had a go. Unsupprisingly, none of those horses really appreciated 2 or 3 reckless teenagers jumping onto their backs at the same time and hitting them with sticks to try and get it to buck. It was cruel, it was stupid, and above all, very dangerous. But did we care? The danger made it more fun, and made us look more daring. By some miracle, the only serious injuries we had were 2 broken noses and one broken arm. But that didn't even stop us! |

The Nature of the Not-So-Sane Show Rider
19th Jan 2012
|
|
Shows and Events Anybody who has done showing must know that you can’t be completely sane to choose to wake up at 4AM, and work for a good three hours getting your horse to look its best for a few boring minutes, just so that somebody else can judge it. There is absolutely no chance that it is worth all the effort – but we do it anyway, because every show rider wants to be better than every other show rider. The following are some common behaviours of these fascinating people.

Basic Horse Photo Editing
16th Jan 2012
|
|
Graphics For Ponybox, most people stick to manipulating images to put horses on different backgrounds. I, however, usually just edit the photos I have taken to make them look their best. In photography this is known as post-processing, image processing, image enhancing, or photo processing. Most professional photographers and some amateurs use some Adobe software like Lightroom or Photoshop, but those are expensive. I use the free version of GIMP, which works for my purposes.

Caring For Two Abused Rescue Horses
by Faith forever on 14th Jan 2012
|
Care and Grooming
Its your worst nightmare when you discover horses in need of rescue. My uncle recently looked at two horses in desperate need that the owner was trying to sell. My uncle immediately bought the horses and ran to the feed store along with calling the vet as soon as they were home. The vet said to feed them a little bit at a time and bring up their feed gradually. |

I'm Grounded From My First Horse Show
by Madeirey on 12th Jan 2012
|
General
Today was just not my day. I was infuriated, confused, and thinking the world was torturing me. Although, the world was not exactly torturing me; I just thought it was. My mom and I had another one of our fights because I didn’t finish cleaning the tack room like I was supposed to. My mom started yelling, getting mad, and I was starting to get mad at her for yelling. I hate yelling, it drives me up the wall. So we started to fight and it ended with my mom grounding me from going to my first Novice horse show. |
