I've loved horses since I was a little girl. When I was in middle school we lived in Tripoli, Libya North Africa (my father was a pilot) my parents bought me an Arabian mare who I used to ride on the Mediterrean Sea. It was like a dream.

The horse (Equus caballus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal, one of ten living species of the family Equidae.

For centuries horses have been one of the most economically important domesticated animals, especially relied upon for farmwork and for transportation. Their importance declined following the introduction of mechanization. The history of the horse is prominent in religion, mythology, art, transportation, agriculture, and warfare.

Most horses perform work such as carrying humans or are harnessed to pull objects such as carts or plows. Hundreds of distinct horse breeds have been developed, allowing horses to be specialized for certain tasks; lighter horses for racing or riding, heavier horses for farming and other tasks requiring pulling power. Some horses, such as the miniature horse, can be kept as pets. In some societies, horses are a source of food, both meat and milk; in others it is taboo to consume these products. In industrialized countries, horses are predominantly kept for leisure and sporting pursuits, while in other parts of the world they are still used as working animals.

Horses and humans have lived and worked together for thousands of years and an extensive specialized vocabulary has arisen to describe virtually every horse behavioral and anatomical characteristic with a high degree of precision.

About rwoman

[June 2008] I am now up to 200 lenses! I have also come to terms with my Squidoo addiction at Squidooholic by taking the Squidoo Pledge! But being a Squidooholic can't be all bad as it helped me become a Giant Squid on May 2!

I also manage nine groups now and am especially proud of one of my newest groups honoring the Cream Of Squid!

I celebrated my 1st anniversary as a lensmaster March 11, 2008, but have been writing and publishing on the web since 1999.

I am a Renaissance Woman aka Rwoman because I have a wide number of interests. You can learn more about those interests on my lenses: Deanna Mascle and Who Is Deanna Mascle

You can learn a lot more about how I have shared and promoted these interests here on Squidoo by checking out the lensography of my lensographies at the RWO Lensography and help me chart my Squidoo progress at RWO Squidoo Stats. Find my main Squidoo page at Renaissance Woman Headquarters. Last month I passed the 100-lens mark which is a big achievement! This month I'm working my way toward 150...

I am fortunate that my two chosen career paths--teaching and writing--allow me to pursue my various interests and help others by parlaying my expertise and interests into my internet business as an infopreneur. I write about many topics but they all have one common element -- they help people live better lives. Sometimes I simply entertain and inform with trivia while other times I educate and motivate with my self improvement lenses. I also write about family and money as well as marketing and writing.

My featured lenses:

What's Wrong With Big Media?

Bill Moyers

Pursuit Of Happiness

Mohandas Gandhi

FRONTLINE


I have spent my entire adult life working as an educator and professional writer. Currently, in addition to my work as an infopreneur, I teach writing for Morehead State University in Kentucky and am working on my PhD in Rhetoric and Technical Communication at Texas Tech University. I am married and have one son.
