...something but he or she does not understand why the fear is occurring. The fear disrupts the well-being of the individual by causing the intense fear he or she will be harmed or endangered. Sigmund Freud who often provided details to understand the anxieties of the mind by his analysis of his cases studies (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). One such case is the analysis of Little Hans who was young child who suffered from an extreme fear of horses biting him and the fear of leaving his home (Cervone & Pervin, 2010). Freud suggested the case of little Hans produced the most compelling evidence for the positive Oedipus complex and suggested the Oedipus complex is a universal phenomenon (Lachmann, 2010). Freud did not analyze Little Hans personality but uniquely corresponded with Hans’s father about the young child’s phobias and conducted therapy through Hans’s father (Garber, 2001). Freud and Hans’s father would discuss the difficulties Little Hans experienced and Freud would instruct Hans’s father to understand Little Hans experiences and suggested techniques to handle the case therapeutically (Garber, 2001). The case of Little Hans is accepted by most psychologists as the first psychoanalytic therapy of children to support Freud’s theory of infantile sexuality. Freud suggested the unconscious mind can create unresolved issues that affect how an individual thinks, feels, and...

...a sec can be the difference between winning first or second…. Every decision can be the difference between winning and losing. Since horses are animals and not machines it can be a challenging task to pick the perfect prospect. But there are some guidelines that can be followed to help with the daunting decision.. Everyone has their criteria rather it be Pedigree, conformation color past performers and those things help but I feel that sometimes we get stuck on one certain trait and a lot of good horses are overlooked or you choose one based on pedigree and it doesn’t live up to the pedigree. Or you choose because of good looks and everyone likes to ride a good-looking horse and since we only saw the good looks we might miss the fact that they don’t have the disposition to make a good barrel horse. We need to keep our emotions out of the process of choosing and look at the horse as a whole strong points and flaws as well most horses have flaws you just have to ask yourself if it’s a flaw you can live with. Sometimes the strengths or flaws won’t show up until you’re on the road and really competing. And then you might discover that your horse has the heart and grit that the great horses posses That winning determination. Or you might get one that just doesn’t like running barrels. And sometimes it’s in the best interest of the horse and rider to part ways find a job they can do and that they like. No matter if they have the perfect pedigree, conformation, even disposition...

...report the findings of the treatment of a five-year-old boy for his phobia of horses. Procedure/Method Freud used a case study method to investigate Little Hans? Phobia. However the case study was actually carried out by the boy?s father who was a friend and supporter of Freud. Freud probably only met the boy once. The father reported to Freud via correspondence and Freud gave directions as how to deal with the situation based on his interpretations of the father?s reports. Freud noted that it was the special relationship between Hans and his father that allowed the analysis to progress and for the discussions with the boy to be so detailed and so intimate. The first reports of Hans are when he was 3 years old. Findings/Results The first reports of Hans are when he was 3 years old when he developed an active interest in his ?widdler? (penis), and also those of other people. For example on one occasion he asked ? Mummy, have you got a widdler too?? When he was about three years and six months old his mother told him not to touch his widdler or else she would call the doctor to come and cut it off. Around the same time, Hans? mother gave birth to his sister Hanna, and Hans expressed jealousy towards her though this disappeared after a few months. When Hans was almost 5, Hans? father wrote to Freud explaining his concerns about Hans. He described the main problem as follows: ?He is afraid a horse will bite him in the street, and this fear seems somehow connected with his having...

...Loop Mechanics ; how you swing, follow through, and pull your slack. Good horsemanship in breakaway roping allows you to make high percentage shots every time because you're in the same position every run. Horsemanship allows you to give your horse consistent repetition so he gives you the same shot every time you come out of the box. In breakaway roping, your start is almost everything because you've just got to be so fast. And the start you get depends on your level of horsemanship. Your horse has to be so good and still in the box, and you've got to have the feel to make that happen. You need to have your horse still and calm enough to leave in a straight line the second you drop your hand forward and hit the barrier strong. When you're riding your horses to the best of your ability, you're keeping your horse between your bridle reins and your legs. You aren't moving your hands much over his neck, but moving your horse with your legs instead. This increases your ability to control every part of your horse with your body position. Scoring is a very crucial part of breakaway roping. My secret to a great start in breakaway roping (and any kind of roping, for that matter) is training my horses to really score and react...

...car was packed to the top with show clothes, makeup, food, and drinks. We rolled into the parking lot. I slowly opened the door and rose out of the car, the the cool, morning air hitting me like a wave from the ocean. Already horses were being worked in the arenas on longlines. trotting around in circles to warm up their legs, probably getting dizzy. I approach the silver metal trailer, Goldie lifts her head up from her breakfast and looks at me, as if saying, “How are you this early morning?” Goldie tossed her head before returning to her hay. She had the biggest personality ever put inside a horse, and all the horses in the world, no matter how expensive, could never measure up to her. I walk up to her and give her a hug, before grabbing a brush and starting to rub her coat until all the dirt was gone. Next I got her bridle and slipped it over her ears. She didn't even hesitate when I asked to slip the bit in her mouth....

...riding his horse during the night, when he stops to see a wooded area fill up with falling snow. He speaks of somewhere he must be before he sleeps, leaving a reader questioning every aspect of the speaker. The style, language, and actions of the speaker in “Stopping by woods on a Snowy Evening” suggest that he rode away from depression or death, which were held in the woods on that snowy evening. The speaker, in this poem rides his “little horse” (1112) down a path between “woods and a frozen lake” (1112). He stops to stare into a patch of woods that are filling up with falling snow. The speaker mentioned that the woods were “dark and deep” (1112). He seems to be enjoying this scene of nature, but he has a previous obligation to be somewhere before he sleeps. The fourth stanza states “The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep” (1112).Here, the speaker is faced with a dilemma to either keep this “promise” to be somewhere, or stay there in the cold, and gaze into the dark, deep woods which symbolize depression or death. The woods represent a “dark, deep” depression, lifestyle, or death for the speaker. Frost’s descriptions of the woods lead a reader to think the woods are not as pretty as they seem; a feeling of insecurity arises. After randomly stopping on this path, his little horse “gave his harness bells a shake.” This was unusual for the speaker to do this; otherwise the horse would not...

...Ashley Reed Autobiography Ashley Reed was born on a warm Texas morning in June 1984. This blue eyed little girl was a huge surprise to everyone because they were all expecting a little boy. Named after an actress from a soap opera, this bundle of joy grew up as an only child, but shared a lot of time with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Raised in the country, Reed had a passion for animals and getting dirty. There wasn’t anything that could stop this little tom- boy from jumping in a puddle of mud, climbing trees, or capturing wild horses. This determined country girl learned at a young age to be independent. Reed would go out to the pasture and capture a horse, bring it back to the barn, saddle it, and take off riding. There was never any fear in those bright blue eyes. Around the age of 5, the blonde haired beauty began barrel racing, and showing horses. This horse lover use to race to songs like, “Two tickets to Paradise” by Eddie Money, “Paradise City” by Guns N’ Roses, and “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. Growing up, Reed’s mother would come home to find tree houses built throughout the yard, horse trailers spray painted, and the clay ground covered in caves. In 1994, this smiling mud covered face had to leave the country and move to a small town called Willis. City life was a little different for this 10 year old, there were no more horses to tend to, no muddy fields to play in, and to much free time at hand. With all the extra time, Reed...

...An aphorism from the book “Poor Richard’s Almanac” says “A little neglect may breed mischief; for want of a nail the shoe was lost; for want of a shoe the horse was lost; for a want of a horse the rider was lost; for want of a rider the battle was lost.” What the author of the book, Benjamin Franklin’s meaning was that in this aphorism is that if one part is skipped, the entire whole can collapse. In this aphorism Benjamin Franklin wants the audience to pay attention to detail. The aphorism compares to modern American society by describing a situation which failure to do the small things in life first will make a bad outcome. Benjamin Franklin’s aphorism starts with a nail, the smallest object in the aphorism leads to the battle at the end of the aphorism, so in that, the battle was lost....

...A Day in the Museum This is a story about a man sitting in a museum looking at one specific painting: the Stubbs chestnut horse. Doing this, he talks with an older man of near sixty years old about a girl in the museum. This girl reminds the older man about the feeling of rejection in his teen years. The main character is telling the story from his own point of view, as he is the narrator of the story. He is a first person narrator, who does not comment on the characters and the action in an objective way. An example of this is when the girl jokes about the horse in the painting and walks away, just to go back, when she “stared at the horse, which she must have felt she had affronted by her laughter” (page 5 line 6). Of course, the narrator does not know why she comes back to the horse; this is just his guess of what she is thinking. This affects the readers, since we do not get to know the thoughts and feelings of the other characters. At the beginning of the story, the old man tells a younger man about Stubbs the painter and about the horses he painted. But the young man seems restless and he is not interested in listening to the old man. By his exit, he ends up insulting the older man, who does not understand why the young man is not willing to learn anything about Stubbs. Stubbs and the painting of horses seems to mean a great deal to the older man, so he gets insulted, not only by being left, but also because of the fact that the younger man rather wants to go to the...

...Chieftains are as well known, revered, and as shrouded in legend as Crazy Horse. Like the Messiah of his people, he led his “troops” into battle repeatedly after visions of himself as leader of his people inspired him to action. Even among white people he was known for his fearlessness in battle. There was non-among the Indian tribes that matched his military prowess or skills both as a leader of the people and warrior. Despite this fearlessness, and the larger than life persona that surrounded him, Crazy Horse’s legacy ended in an undignified manner fit not even for an animal. The very people he had agreed to turn himself into disemboweled him, the same people who should have taken care of him so that a fair trial could be held. As his life was, so to was his death shrouded in mystery; however, E. A. Brininstool’s collection of letters and accounts of Crazy Horse’s death called, “Crazy Horse: The Invincible Sioux Chief,”...
