Decorating your home doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, maybe all you need are a couple of well placed art prints.
A plain wall can really look boring, but having a quality framed art print on your wall can really add the
needed finishing touch to create the illusion of a perfect room. Just imagine a room with a bare wall versus
a living room with a large art print of a beautiful scenic image of nature like a national park, a waterfall, or maybe the Grand
Canyon. Today, thanks to the Internet, in scenic art prints alone you can literally choose between thousands of art prints online and have them delivered to your door. Scenic images are available for beaches, oceans, castles, sky lines, lighthouses, meadows, rainbows, seasonal nature scenes, tropics, sunsets, and my favorite, western art.
In choosing a work of art for your home wall, you, of course, have to consider the function of the room you are
shopping for and your own personality. While your teenager might want a poster of the latest movie like Pirates of the Caribbean on their wall put up with thumb tacks, you’ll probably want something a bit more elegant for your living room. If you have a home library, you might want a historical piece, perhaps showcasing one of the Presidents, American history, education, or world culture fine art prints. Perhaps something by one of the great artists like Vincent Van Gogh would be fitting for your home.
Obviously the atmosphere you want to represent in your home is of key importance. If you want a western feel to your home then art featuring horses, cattle herding, canyons, wagon trains, and of course western sunsets should be right up your alley. It’s all a matter of capturing your personality with the look and feel of your home.
If it’s a garage or work area it doesn’t hurt to add an poster of a classic car. Images of Elvis Presley, James Dean, or other classic 1950’s images really go well in areas like this.
If you’re a collector at heart then you might consider a vintage art print. These are considered art today, but once they were simply ads for products like soap, Coca Cola, travel, and magazines.
For the collector of entertainment related items, like movie posters and comic book characters, take note that these posters have never been hotter. Original movie posters are becoming extremely collectible. Movie posters are great for the contemporary home or family rooms.
Shopping online for art prints offers a wider selection than you can possibly imagine. There is no other logical way to shop for
fine art, particularly if you are searching for a that perfect art print or poster or have an item already in mind you’re looking for.
This article is by http://www.posterlovers.com the home for art prints and posters find what you are looking for to decorate your home.

How Electric Pressure Cookers Work
Navicular syndrome is characterized by increasing intermittent lameness. Lameness will occur to one or both of the horse’s front feet, usually both. Most horses will place their body weight on their toes to avoid putting pressure on their heels, which is where the inflamed bursa is located.
Navicular syndrome can lead to significant lameness, it is unfortunately incurable. However is can be treated with corrective shoes, wedge pads to correct the angle of the hoof, cushioning and medication. You will want to call your veterinarian immediately should you notice and of the symptoms listed below.
This disease is more often than not associated with hard work. A diagnosis of navicular syndrome is something no horse owner will ever want to hear.
The gait of the horse will appear rough and will give the appearance of lameness. The horse will usually show signs of lameness immediately after a workout but with rest this condition will disappear for the time being but will inevitably return until the horse can no longer return from the lameness.
Navicular syndrome causes poor circulation within the foot area and the hoof will notable contract and become smaller.
Additional navicular syndrome signs to watch for are:
A stumbling gait.
A continual shifting (from side to side) of body weight when resting.
A shortening of the horses stride.
A reluctance to go forward.
A reluctance to lengthen his or her stride.
When examining the horse’s foot with a hoof tester, the horse will indicate pain and discomfort when pressure is applied.
The treatment you and your veterinarian choose depends on the severity of the condition. A horse with navicular syndrome can still continue to lead a healthy, pain free and normal life.

When it comes to horse toys, a Breyer horse is second to none. Creating some of the most realistic model horses in the world, Breyer has gathered a loyal following.
Breyer horse toys are so well-loved and valued by their owners that there are even Breyer Horse Shows. Breyer horse shows are a great way to connect with other horse toy enthusiasts. There are two kinds of shows – photo shows, where competitors enter a photo of a diorama, and live shows, featuring actual horse toys.
Photo shows – although entering a photo of a model horse may seem easy, there’s an awful lot to consider. Photos must show the horse toy posed in a realistic setting, meaning entrants can’t simply stand their very small model horse in a regular-sized stable and just click away. Gravel and dirt settings can work well, as can clipped grass – anything that doesn’t upset the scale of the picture. A blank background is fine, though some competitors prefer to include appropriately-sized posters depicting a realistic setting. Just like real horse shows, photo shows have classes (breed, color, and gender), and photos are entered accordingly.
Live shows – live shows are closer to real horse shows. Horse toys are taken to the show to be judged. There are a few pitfalls to consider before entering live shows. Despite being factory-produced, every Breyer horse is different. Some have simple flaws, such as uneven paint, and coloring can vary widely. At a live show, a judge can see any and all of these flaws, making the competition a bit more difficult.
There are two sets of classes in a live show: halter (where only the horse is displayed) and performance (where the horse and tack, including saddle and bridle is also displayed). In a performance class, the model horse is posed according to the category. As categories can be diverse – Western, English, jumping, and dressage are just a few – many competitors use props (as well as tack) to create the desired effect. Some competitors even choose to enter a customized Breyer horse in order to achieve a specific effect. Customized horses are exactly what they sound like – Breyer horses that have been customized in some way. Customizations can vary widely, from a new paint job and coat to replacing the plastic mane with real horse hair to horse toy repairs (replacing an ear, leg, etc). There are no limits on how a competitor can modify their horse, and classes and shows for customized horses have become popular.
Unlike a real horse show, Breyer horse toy show competitors are limited only by their imagination.

Before you even think about purchasing your first horse I want you 
to think of what kind of care a horse needs to be healthy and happy.
Horses require constant maintenance, such as feed, clean fresh water and plenty of it, hay or pasture, yearly vaccinations against diseases and shoes if you choose to shoe your horse, blankets to keep them warm and so much more.
The list above is just a few of the basic requirements you will want to think about if you are considering purchasing a horse. Of course this does not include veterinarian bills if your horse becomes ill or needs dental care and/or a shelter plus you will need mineral salt blocks, blankets, first aid kit, bandages, and wormers for parasite control. These are just some of the things you will need to consider if you want the horse to be kept in optimum condition for overall health and wellness.
Hay and Pasture
Hay comes in many varieties, such as alfalfa, timothy, costal, orchard and so on. Usually your coastal and orchard hay is of a moderate grade, whereas alfalfa is very rich in proteins and nutrients and therefore should be fed sparingly. A good quality hay should smell like fresh grass after mowing. The amount you feed your horse will vary depending on type of hay, the quality and when it is cut, these are all factors to be considered. If you are unsure, ask you veterinarian. As a general rule of thumb a 1,000 pound horse will forage approximately 2.0 percent of its body weight daily (approximately 3-4 flakes), this includes hay, pasture, and feed. Of course if you have good pasture you will need only to supplement the horses diet during the winter months.
Feed and Grains
There are many different types of gains n the market and consist of
pellets, sweet feeds, oats, corn, barley, beet pulp etc.
Pellet feed comes in different percentages based on the amount of protein it contains, such as 10% – 12% and higher for high performance horses. The percentage you feed your horse usually depends upon how much the horse is worked. Remember that not only the feed your horse eats contains protein, but take into account that hay and good quality pasture also provides protein and should be included in there overall daily ration. Protein is important for the development and repair of the horses’ muscle tissue and it is great for healthy skin, hair, and hooves.
Treats!
Lets not forget treats! Horses love their treats just as our children do. Sweet treats such as sugar cubes should be avoided, but horses love carrots, apple slices, yogurt and there is a great selection of treats at your local feed store.
Hoof Care
First and Foremost- pick your horses feet every day. Check for stones, debris and manure that can become trapped in your horses feet. Most horses should have there feet trimmed every 6-8 weeks, this depends on the rate of hoof growth and your horse. You will also want to check for loose shoes( if your horse has shoes) because they will need to be repaired to prevent lameness. Always be on the look out for thrush, thrush is a fungal infection of the foot. It is a very serious condition that if untreated will cause lameness or worse. Thrush is distinguished by a black tar like substance and the smell is horrendous, not your typical manure in the foot smell. If the thrush is attended to immediately, it is easily stopped. If the thrush is severe it will eat away at the horses hoof tissue and frog and cause bleeding which will make the horse very uncomfortable and/or lame. Thrush can be easily treated but if you are unfamiliar with it, call your blacksmith for advice. Thrush thrives in damp and wet conditions, such as dirty stalls or muddy paddocks. A clean stall will make a happy environment for a healthy horse.
Horse Vaccinations
There are unfortunately many diseases that can affect our horses. Horse vaccines should be given at least once a year( sometimes twice yearly or a booster) for Encephalomyelitis (Sleeping Sickness) Tetanus Toxoid,influenza and the West Nile virus. If you have a horse that is in foal, additional shots should be given such as the Rhinopneumonitis vaccine which is given to healthy pregnant mares in the prevention of abortion from a respiratory disease that is caused by the equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1)
Horse Teeth
A horses permanent teeth will come in at 5-6 years of age. Caring for your horses’ teeth is essential for the overall health of the horse.
Your horses teeth should be checked at least once a year as part of a yearly checkup. If you notice your horse is dropping excessive food from its mouth and/or doesn’t want to accept the bit, you will want to call your veterinarian and have there teeth checked. A horse is a constant eating machine and as a result sharp points or hooks can appear on the horses teeth which will make eating uncomfortable. The vet can float the horses teeth( when the vet uses a file to file down the sharp points) or pull a bad tooth, whichever is the case. Your horse will feel better and eat better too.
Worming Your Horse
Your horse should be wormed every 6-8 weeks. This will get rid of any parasites he may have picked up. I use a wormer that has Ivermectin in it and I have never had a problem with parasites. I usually rotate my wormer every other month, but I always get a wormer that has the invermectin in it. Your horse should be wormed every 6-8 weeks. This will get rid of any parasites your horse may have picked up. I personally use a wormer that has ‘Ivermectin’ in it and I have never had a problem with parasites. I usually rotate my wormer every other month, but I always get a wormer that has the invermectin in it. There are many wormers on the market in paste and pellet form, always read the labels as all wormers are not equal.
There is allot of horse advice out there, I have just given you a few of the most important items that I believe will give you an idea of what having a horse and caring for a horse is all about. The health and happiness of your horse is in your hands, if you don’t know something, ask, if you don’t know anyone to ask, do some research or speak with a Veterinarian.

The communication power of posters has been exploited for a variety of purposes. Posters have evolved from a mere advertising tool into tastefully designed, intellectually appealing, graphically intriguing and exquisite pieces of art. They command a platform as a different genre of art. Nature posters portray every conceivable aspect of nature. They are gathered by enthusiastic collectors, avid nature lovers or art lovers who admire their aesthetic appeal. Collecting nature posters is both a recreational and educational hobby for students and adults alike. It is yet another unique way to feel closer to nature.
There are many online and offline stores and distributors of nature posters.
http://www.naturediscovery.com features many nature posters, from marine life posters, to amphibians and reptiles, elements of nature and many more. These are not just visual treat but also an exceptional form of nature tour. These beautiful illustrations can have a profound impact on young minds, which relate and learn easily through visual stimulation. They draw attention to the finer and previously unobserved and obvious aspects of nature, and the beauty that lies in them. A student can collect them as part of a project, or to know about any aspect of nature.
Posters of different breeds of horses, different varieties of butterfly, or different types of dinosaurs, with detailed identification of the types, are very useful educational tools. [http://www.transcedentalalist.com] ties up with http://www.art.com to provide a scintillating range of natural delights. A thunderbolt on a rich blue electric sky becomes a memorable work of art, timelessly frozen in a piece of paper.
Lithographically printed posters on ordinary paper are extremely inexpensive. Both poster production and the materials used have evolved with time. From linen-backed posters (for durability), to glossy and matte-print posters, etched and embossed to laminated, nature posters come imprinted in a variety of forms. There are infinite sizes, editions and types of nature posters.
Nature posters are used by many governmental and non-governmental organizations, to stimulate awareness and educate the public about a cause or drive (for endangered species conservation, for example). Nature posters are also sold to raise funds for a cause.

Check your feed buckets for horse safety – I never thought that a feed bucket could cause harm to any horse, but I know now and I would like to give you a heads up on the danger a feed bucket can cause to your horse.
I have been around and owned horses most of my life and although I have seen some pretty unusual things I have never seen anything quite like this. Horses are horses and they do get into some unpredictable situations, some which are funny at times and others that are harmful and costly for your horse and you. I have been using flatback feed buckets for years and I have never had a problem with any of them until now.
Our horse Brandy loves her feed as most horses do. She comes into the
corral area 2 or 3 times a day to check all the buckets for leftover feed, never mind that she has 20 acres of lush grass to graze upon. Every day she checks the feed buckets and there is never any feed in them, except at breakfast and dinner, I guess she is just hopeful that one day she will find extra feed in one of the buckets.
The incident: I went out in the morning to find our horse Brandy dripping with blood from her muzzle with about 6-8 inches of the skin on her muzzle hanging down below her muzzle. Of course I rushed to her side and I could not for the life of me figure out what had happened to her.
Photo #1 in this illustration I tried to show wear the rip began and ended.
The tear itself was wider, about 1 inch.This photo was taken on the 3rd or 4th day after the incident. Everyone said I should have take a picture of the injury and on hindsight, I wish I would have done so that you would have been able to see the extent of the injury, it was pretty horrific.
The veterinarian was called and I knew that there wasn’t any way that the vet would be able to stitch up this wound. As I was waiting for the veterinarian gravity was pulling the torn flesh longer and longer and Brandy was becoming very agitated. The flesh was hanging about 6-7 inches below her muzzle at this time.
With every toss of her head her skin was tearing more and more. Well I made the decision to cut the extra flesh off as much as possible. I had a one snip chance as I saw it and believe me when I tell you, that she did not give me a chance at a second snip…
Brandy took it better than I did, I felt awful needless to say. By the time the Veterinarian got there the flesh had torn approximately4 more inches longer. Our Veterinarian didn’t seem too surprised at the wound but unfortunately said, it could not be stitched and of course there would be some deformity and scarring. He cut the extra (3 to 4 inches) of flesh off, cleansed the wound and put ointment on the injured area, needless to say he had to tranquilize her ‘twice’, because she wasn’t having any of it.
The Veterinarian asked how it happened and we explained that her nostril had somehow got caught in the bucket handle, as that is wear the blood trail started and the bucket handle was now straight instead of the usual rounded handle. He said, “a horse is a horse, and they are always getting into something, but he had not heard of this particular type of incident before.” There is always a first time!
Photo #2 shows her injury after 7-10 days. We were all relieved to see her healing so nicely after all she has been through.
Photo #3 approximately one month later, this photo shows you how well the nostril healed although there is some deformity but hardly any scarring. We are truly thankful.
Photo #4 is a photo of our ‘Brandy’. Brandy is an 8 year old Arabian mare. As you can see the scarring is very minimal, almost nonexistent. Considering the extent of the injury, Brandy’s’ nostril still looks pretty good abet she lost a little of the flair in the injured nostril.
You can see in photo # 5 the gap between the handle and where the handle curves into the hook, that is where our horse Brandy, got her nostril caught. I would imagine that she panicked,what horse wouldn’t. If the handle would not have been as straight as a poker afterwards I would never have believed it myself. How she got her nostril caught in the gap we will never know but I wanted to warn everyone of the possible un-seen dangers of the feed bucket. I will say this, I will never look at a feed bucket in the same way ever again.
All feed buckets vary in size and style and some buckets have rubber tips on the ends where it curves up into the hook portion of the handle, but I don’t know if that would have helped or not, maybe her nostril would have slipped off more easily but I just couldn’t say. After the incident I took some duct tape and wrapped it all around the portion where the hook curves up and the gap is, (I am not taking any chances of this happening ever again). Duct tape is great stuff and is an inexpensive fix.
Well I hope this helps to prevent any injury to anyone’s horses via a feed bucket. I am sure they will eventually find something else to get into but at least they are safe from the feed bucket danger.
Happy Trails,
Michele D. Anderson
