In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. (NIV)

    A twitch releases endorphins (sp?) which calms the horse down. When we used them on the horses at camp, they almost fell asleep because it calmed them down so much. This is what the twitch looked like that we used:


    Other breeds from the United States:
    -American Shetland
    -Palomino
    -Rocky Mountain Pony
    -Chincoteague/Assateague
    -Sable Island
    -Pony of the Americas
    -American Minature Horse

    Types of twitches:
    -Humane twitch
    -Chain-end twitch
    -Flat handle

    New question:
    What is this? What is its purpose?

    Equine, I love the pics of the Fresian, they are a beautiful breed.

    Ok YLL., a couple more answers for you
    A Galvayne groove is a groove in the horses tooth that helps you tell the age of the horse.
    A parrot-mouth is an overbite, when the upper teeth stick out over the lower teeth, the teeth will not have a normal wear pattern making it difficult or impossible to tell the age of the horse.
    That last photo is of something an Equine Dentist would use to hold the mouth open, I think it begins with an S, I can't remember the name.

    Yay!

    Ok, how about something fun? I found these animated graphics, how about you tell me something about each picture?
    One more question, Who is Robert Vavra?

    YLL, were there any unanswered questions of yours still?

    Let's see, the first animation is a Lippazaner from the Spanish Riding School, the second one is Thoroughbred racing, and the third one is a show jumping animation, the last one is a dressage. My favorite one is the show jumping one. Um...is there suposed to be a graphic between the show jumping and dressage- it won't show up, there is an X box.

    Let's see, as far as unanswered questions:

    What is the purpose of a roller-mouth snaffle?

    What is a loathed shoulder?

    I was afraid they may be a little slow to show up, there are 5 in total. You were right about all 4, this is the one you said you couldn't see.

    The roller mouth can have several purposes: 1)the roller acts as a toy for the horse to find comfort in fiddling with, 2) the roller lifts up onto the soft palate when the reins are engaged and creates a greater degree of discomfort which to some = a greater degree of control, 3) if the roller is copper, which it often is, the combination of the steel mouth peices and the copper roller help encourage salivation which in turn encourages a softer mouth.



    YLL. wasn't what I said about the roller snaffle correct? Or am I missing something?

    I guess it could be a fox hunter because of the red jacket, it was just listed as an english rider so I guess both you and Delidog are right.
    Here is the link to the website I got the pics at
    http://www.uselessgraphics.com/horses1.htm
    That is the first of 6 pages.
    I like you new signature too YLL, didn't the pics move though?
    Here are some more I like

    So does anyone want to answer my other question, who Robert Vavra is?
    RIP sweet Samantha
