The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) described the Saddlebred as follows: “He carries himself with an attitude that is elusive of description-some call it ‘class’, presence, quality, style, or charm.

From the high held headset to the luscious long flowing tails, each trainer has to conform the horse to the so called classy charm look.…
It's one of the darkest fears of pitchers, tennis players, and many other athletes: a rotator cuff tear. If it is severe, a rotator cuff tear can end a player's career. So what is it, exactly? The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons and muscles that converge around the shoulder joint at the top of the humerus, the upper arm bone above the elbow. Together, they form a ''cuff'' that both holds your arm in place and allows it to move in different directions. While your shoulder is one of your most mobile joints, it's also somewhat weak.

“… the amount of suffering that the [horse slaughter ban] created exceded the amount of suffering it was designed to stop,” said Ingrid Newkirk, founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) (Jonsson). In 2007, a ban on the inspection of horse meat was placed on the United States, but in November 2011, President Barack Obama lifted this ban with much negative feedback. Some people believe that horse slaughter is the killing of domestic animals, such as the household cats or dogs, and has no possible positive effects.
