In later times, Thoroughbred racing was, and is, popular with the aristocrats and royalty of British society, earning it the title "Sport of Kings." Historically, equestrians honed their skills through games and races. Equestrian sports provided entertainment for crowds and honed the excellent horsemanship that was needed in battle. Horse racing of all types evolved from impromptu competitions between riders or drivers. All forms of competition, requiring demanding and specialized skills from both horse and rider, resulted in the systematic development of specialized breeds and equipment for each sport.
I hope by the conclusion of this essay you realize the hard work, challenges, and responsibility put into the horseman’s sport. Horseback riding is not only a sport, but a lifestyle. Horseback riders live their lives from the moment their foot rests in the stirrup, learning responsibility and individualism- not just for themselves, but also caring for others. Being a horseman, you learn that you grow as an individual and as a team with your horse. Your teammate is almost exactly like a teammate on a football or soccer team, except with immense differences.
Since I already have knowledge about the horse tracks and how things work behind the curtain, I would fit into the community better. I would then prepare to participate in the same manner as others would there. I would be more involved with the racing of the horses, the bettors, the jockeys, etc... I would then convert into a participant by cooperating in those activities and I would be grouped with the social actors. The gatekeepers at Santa Anita are those that toured us around the tracks and provided us with information on how things work behind the scenes.
Yet how well do we understand the depths of its effect on the horses and on the races in which they compete? We have seen legendary races disappear from the scene in favor of new events, or their distances shortened. Those in charge argue such changes are needed and are made in racing's best interests, often to the dismay of purists, traditionalists and nostalgia buffs. And we have observed once dominant sire lines fade into obscurity to be replaced by other emerging bloodlines, either providing breeders with fresh opportunities or, depending on your point of view, demonstrating an erosion of the breed's vigor. Regardless of our feelings about them, the changes occurring in Thoroughbred racing are ongoing and constant.
The Benefits of Horseback Riding “Horses lend us the wings we lack.” –Pam Brown. That quote is particularly true when it comes to individuals with disabilities. Horseback riding uses horses as therapy for both the mind and the body. People that have been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit disorder, and other physical disabilities are more likely to struggle with communication, but if you pair them with a horse, they can achieve so many great things. Horseback riding is a great activity for people with disabilities, because it helps improve muscle strength, communication, and socialization.

Today, I would like to tell y’all about the maintenance and riding efforts of having a horse properly cared for. An unknown author once said “A good rider can hear their horse speak to them. A great rider can hear their horse whisper.” There are three main points I would like to discuss which include how to maintain a horses hygiene, two styles to ride, and simple steps to riding. There’s a certain etiquette(Chapter 5) required in maintaining a horse. First you have to tame and board your horse.
Repetition of the patterned movements required in controlling the horse aid to quicken the reflexes. As well as improved co-ordination and relaxation, riding stimulates the vesibular system by the movement of the horse and it's changes in direction and speed. Proprioception has also shown to increase due to activation of the proprioceptors in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint. To conclude, horse riding is a wonderful form of exercise, which stimulates the cardiovascular system as well as all the body systems. Although riding is a strenuous exercise, it is

Compare and contrast Buchanan and Monderman’s approaches to the production of social order in public spaces Our society is governed by rules, norms (society’s shared set of behavioural expectations and values) and customs that shape behaviour and conduct. Some rules are enforced by law, with penalties for those that do not obey, helping to maintain a stable and predictable social environment known as ‘social order’. Our negotiation of rules and expectations often causes disputes that create a breakdown in social order. Large scale disorder often prompts the government to write new laws or re-think existing social order policies to implement change and remake order. This adapting and renegotiating of rules is continuously required in making and remaking order as society constantly changes and evolves.
