U.S. Horsemanship

03/25/2022

Rep. Dina Titus is sponsoring a bill (H.R. 6635) to make the GAO find a safer way to control the wild horse population. This bill came after a c**t broke its leg trying to keep up with its family while helicopters chased them toward traps. The c**t was shot. This article tells you about the bill and will tell you how to contact your Representative to ask them to support it. Please do this if you care about the wild horses.

Early last month Dina Titus (D-NV) introduced HR 3365: “Wild Horse and B***o Protection Act of 2022.” Citing the events documented at the Pancake Complex roundup (NV) where a young c**t…

“The efforts to rescue the Lipizzaners would end with battle-weary American GIs standing shoulder-to-shoulder with German troops to fight a common enemy – the Waffen-SS.” IT WAS APRIL 28, 1945. The war in Europe was just days away from ending…Read more →

An Amazing American horse and rider

Thoug...

National Velvet was produced just a little way beyond the time women didn't ride astride. It was rather pivotal for women equestrians

Man o' War's grandson King Charles starred as "The Pie" in the 1944 film National Velvet starring Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney. He was a 7-yr-old thoroughbred that was trained as a show hunter and jumper. King Charles was purchased for $800 for the movie. Eleven year old Taylor underwent an extensive training program riding King Charles daily. A special bond grew between the two of them. After filing National Velvet, King Charles was given to Taylor as a present for her 13th birthday. King Charles would then retire and spend the rest of his life with his new owner Elizabeth Taylor.
