Horses in California Are Quite Common, Even Outside of Hollywood
Article by Phil Wiskell
Mention horses in California and some people will give you a bit of a strange look. Those who are unfamiliar with California with the exception of wine country in the Napa Valley and major cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, for example, might wonder exactly where people in California would keep their horses. Of course, horses have been kept in California even into the modern age, even by ordinary Californians.
Most famously, Californian Ronald Reagan owned horses and was very fond of going on a ride, whenever he was at home. While the Reagan’s occupied the White House, both Ronald and Nancy were the proud owners of Arabian horses. Ronald Reagan’s horse was a white Arabian stallion named El Alamein, gifted to him in 1981 by the Mexican President, Jorge. Nancy’s horse was a chestnut gelding named Catalina Muzraff.
Just as the Reagan’s had their own working ranch called, Rancho del Cielo, near Santa Barbara, California, to the north and west of Los Angeles, many Californian’s have working ranches and farms in every nook and cranny of the state.
Likewise, those who do their research will find that horses in California don’t just exist on working cattle ranches. At many of the state’s Pacific Coast beaches, it’s possible to enjoy horseback riding on the beach. The same is true for those who are visiting the state’s redwood forests, the Sierra Mountains and various other areas throughout the state.
That doesn’t mean that all of the horses in California are only there for the benefit of those who are working on a cattle ranch or for tourists, plenty of regular folks who live in California also own horses. After all, with a trailer in tow, they too can take their horse and ride along the shore, on trails in the forests, in state parks and even in the Sierras.
Many others look for horses in California because, well, like anywhere else, they have a love of the animal and have the space to keep one. They know that they are able to take long rides in meadows and pastures. They know that their kids can benefit from learning to care for horses (in fact, one program uses horses in California to boost the self-esteem and nurturing abilities of kids and teens who are struggling). Others want to be able to work with horses and train them for rodeo events and other competitions. In some California counties, horse racing is an extremely popular sport.
Therefore, when it comes to horses in California, it’s impossible to say that there is only a single breed that is most common. For those who are involved in racing and training horses for the racetrack, Thoroughbreds are a popular choice. Many choose Arabian horses for their beauty. Paint horses are common. And, of course, when it comes to ranching and rodeo horses in California, the American Quarter Horse is as popular and common as it is in Texas and Nevada.
When looking at horses for sale in California, part of the decision will be made based on why the person is buying a horse, in the first place. Someone who is planning to work their horse on a ranch is not going to look for a Thoroughbred or a warmblood horse; they are going to look at the American Quarter Horse, or possibly a Pinto or Paint horses, because those horses are better suited to the buyers’ needs. Likewise, someone who is looking for horses in California because they intend to train it for dressage are going to look for different horses, than someone who will be racing or simply riding casually.
It’s important to have an understanding of horse breeds and what constitutes a healthy horse when you’re looking at a list of horses for sale. The condition of the horse’s hair, teeth, hearing and eyesight are important. The horse’s hooves should be strong and healthy. The horse should have a solid muscle structure and, those who are looking for horses in California know, the legs of the horse should be straight and free of bumps and scars that could indicate a previous injury. Because not every injury a horse has sustained will be clearly documented or visible, it’s always important to have a horse checked out by a veterinarian before making a purchase.
Despite the way people from across the world may perceive California in their mind’s eye, horses in California are quite popular and provide their owners with a great way to see some of the state’s beautiful landscapes. Choosing a horse is a matter of understanding the reason why you are buying a horse, what breed of horse is best for that purpose, and focusing on finding a horse with the right disposition and temperament to create a long lasting relationship – something that’s true whether you are buying horses in California or somewhere elsewhere.

KNOW ABOUT EQUINE LAW AND PROTECT YOUR HORSES
Article by Emiley David
Horses are most expensive pet than other common pets, but the laws state that these creatures require medical treatment and vaccines, than what an owner can do to give them proper care and medicines when they need. They can take out the insurances policies that will cover the pets 80/20 in utmost instances. Special coverage is needed for such beautiful creatures as they undergo various kinds of diseases than common pets. Having a horse is a pleasure-oriented activity and, because of that, people who own a horse may know all the legal matters that could be involved with the ownership of the horse. Horse law states that a horse needs regular medical treatment and vaccines as well as insurance coverage. Horse insurance will mainly protect the horse owner against the liability and damage because horses are high maintenance critters that require special insurance coverage as there are several laws specific to equine legal issues.
In order to get the finances you may want to use just any attorney or law firm when an equine problem arises. The Internet is open to suggestions, making available equine policy that will offer a generous amount of coverage to owners. One of the common laws that apply to owners in various states is the Equine Warning Laws. This kind of horse law protects horses and owners against liability, damage, and so forth. The owner is responsible to put up Warning Signs to warn the visitors that accidents or incidents that can happen and direct them to safety. Also, telling them, they are not reliable if the visitor fails to adhere to the warnings.
Horse law covers a wide range of areas involving horses and focuses on the buying and selling of horses, horse riding injuries, compensation claims, equestrian properties and horse related disputes, veterinary malpractice and equestrian businesses. It is important that you write up a firm agreement while trading a horse and should be signed by both parties. An agreement should state the details of the sale, money involved and the rights and responsibilities of the new owner, which should cover both parties if any dispute arises. Equine legislation is being constantly updated, with owners of small equine businesses dealing with new areas such as buying horses and internet sales from abroad.
Heath and safety is now looked as a major concern in horse related activities, from shows and events to running riding schools. Horses can cause a fair amount of damage and harm so it is very important for people running events or riding schools to cover liabilities where it is necessary. Proper insurance should cover a defendant in the event of legal action being taken against them due to damage made by equines. In riding schools, it is the owner of the animal that becomes liable for legal action; if somebody they are teaching is injured by a horse. Liability for injuries cannot be removed through any kind of contracts and agreements. You should contact a specialist equine law solicitor for advice if you own a riding school and are also worried about your liability.

Passion for equestrianism and horses should be accompanied with quality riding equipment and equestrian gear
Article by Tim Bridges
If one has a passion for equestrianism and horses it should be accompanied with quality riding equipment and equestrian gear, all of which should be designed for the comfort of both rider and horse as well as aiding “showing off” the joint skills of the horse and its rider.
Equestrianism in all of its forms and guises is more often referred to as riding; horseback riding (American English) or horse riding (British English) refers to the combined and paradoxically diverse skills of riding, driving or vaulting with horses both in a professional and/or amateur capacity. This broad description includes the use of horses for practical working purposes in many disciplines; transportation, recreational activities, artistic or cultural exercises and in more recent decades competitive sport on a burgeoning scale, although horses involved in sporting activity has been around for many centuries.
Archeological evidence seems to point to horses having been ridden and trained for riding long before they were teamed up with wagons, chariots and carts and certainly long before mankind started to congregate in small settlements moving from hunter gatherers to farmers in the Neolithic period of history. Certainly for the best part of six thousand years the use of horses and horsemanship skills of a sort has been part of the development of mankind; indeed, many historians agree that without the domestication of horses it could be said that our level of civilisation and development would not be at the point at which it is today.
If one had access to a “TARDIS” or other type of time machine device and was able to transport a horseman or woman from many hundreds of years ago to the present day most of the equipment in use today would be recognisable to them as if it was in use in their own time. Items including but not limited to saddles, stirrups, reins, chaps, gloves, girths, boots, breastplates, halters and leads would look pretty much as they did many hundreds of years ago, and while it is true to say there may be slight differences the design and manufacture of these items would be pretty much the same as it has been throughout history.
Horse and rider look pretty spectacular when displaying their combined skills, although not a lot of thought is given by the uninformed about how much work goes into making and displaying the range of gear required just to put on a display.
