Along the years, people have chosen to mix these breeds in the search of perfection. Some people may be looking for physical perfection; other people could be looking for a horse with a proper mentality for the job he is being breed for. Perfection is a relative word because its definition varies depending on the person who is mixing the breeds. For example, if you want a horse to walk on rough mountain trails my recommendation would be a mix between Quarter Horse and Andalutian Horse in order to get a horse with a fair size great backs and an outstanding intelligence and will to do whatever you ask them. These breed is actually not very know but in is called Aztec and these horses are very sporty and also have a very loyal personality. If what you want is a show jumping horse I recommend mixing a Thoroughbred with a Warmblood in order to get the sportyness of the Thoroughbred with the bones and strength of the Warmblood. Purity in breeds is not always the best thing to have because all breeds have flaws and to correct those flaws you should have to cross that breed with one that its strength is the other ones flaw, if you get me, it is to improve the flaws in the way of creating a perfect horse.

There is one simple reason to the creation of this blog, the reason is because it is an English assignment, and to be honest if I wouldn’t had this assignment the idea of creating a blog would of never cross my thoughts. The topic I chose for my blog is simply my passion, what I do everyday and love doing, it is simply what I was born around and what I’m growing around, It is just what I love doing, what caused me to have most of my friends and what I enjoy the most in my life. Also, because I wanted to discuss about several aspects of my passion with different people than the ones I see everyday and get different point of views. I also wanted to get to know more people through this site, talking about what I love. By this point it is very probable that you have an idea of what my passion is, not because of what I have written previously, but because of the name of my blog. Yes, my passion is horses. It may sound like a cliché but because of the way I write about you should see how seriously I take it. I utterly adore horses and everything that has to do with them. What I practice the most is show jumping, but I also practice dressage and western riding sometimes. I like to think of English riding more as a sport and western riding as “comfort riding”, to release stress caused by English riding and other activities such as school. The riding style I prefer or like better is English riding, specifically show jumping, what I like the most about this certain sport is the adrenaline it produces, there is no chance for fear, everything happens so fast. You have to be in control of two things: the first thing is your body, your position over the saddle and the horse, and you mind, you can’t be scared and you need to fix your mind in your objectives, you have to concentrate because this is a very dangerous sport. Once you dominate the aspect of your body you need to focus on your horse try to figure out his/her character because you don’t only depend on yourself you depend on an animal, which you can’t control completely because even though they are very intelligent creatures they are animals and they can use that intelligence against you . horseback riding is a very difficult sport and you have to have the talent inside yourself, practice does help but if you don’t have the talent it is going to probably be impossible in higher levels of the sport. I would like to read the way people think about what I wrote, there point of view, if they agree or if they don’t, please respond to this entry!!
