From the pony to the Percheron, there are 36 breeds and types of horses and ponies represented on this decorative chart. The skeletal structure and muscular system are accurately portrayed in action and clearly marked for identification. Along with informative Horse facts Guide Amazon’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>facts about horses, the top panel has the parts of the horse clearly marked. Wonderfully informative! Size: 36″ W x 25″ H
I know they say it is a proven Horse facts Guide Amazon’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>fact that horses are color blind. If that is indeed true then why when I’m training a young horse to jump different obsticals does it matter if I hang a blue shirt or a red shirt over the jump? Just when I get the horse going nicely over the jump with the blue shirt draped over it, I switch the shirt with an identical red one and its like they’ve never seen that shirt before in their lives and its back to the start? I can understand that different colors are different shades in black and white but that shouldn’t change the reaction that they have to the shirt that durastically? Should it? Just wondering your thoughts on the subject… have you tried any similar experiments?
Until a horse can truly talk, how do we really know for sure?? At one time scientists believed no animal saw color. This is no longer true, they have changed their statements because they have devised tests such as yours that prove to them that color is seen…. I have never quite trusted the scientist to know these things for certain. As I said, when a horse tells me it’s colorblind, then I’ll believe it. I know for an absolute FACT that they are biased as to coat color. I have a mare that detests to the nth degree any red horse she encounters. Browns, blacks, dark greys..anything but red..don’t bother her, but red gets her blood boiling in a hot flash. I have two distint herds. Coloreds and whites. The red horse now will only hang with nonwhite horses thanks to the mad mare. And I don’t think it’s "tones of grey" as some of the greys are toned the same as red and she likes them fine and the red mare likes them not at all.

Covert Advertising Psychology through Confirmation Bias by
Dorian Greer
Confirmation bias is a tool of choice for covert influence. It’s
agreeable, it’s easy to use, and can motivate the smartest of
people to believe in the weirdest of things.
WARNING: This article gives an example of confirmation bias used
to make otherwise intelligent people believe impossible things.
The example chosen is based on pervasiveness, to make the point
obvious, but some might be offended. Publishers beware – the
example MAY adversely affect some of your audience.
What is Confirmation Bias?
Source: http://skepdic.com/confirmbias.html
“Confirmation bias refers to a type of selective thinking
whereby one tends to notice and to look for what confirms one’s
beliefs, and to ignore, not look for, or undervalue the
relevance of what contradicts one’s beliefs.”
This simple yet profound definition is why prejudice won’t die,
why smart people believe weird things, and why facts seldom (if
ever) change a strong belief.
Reinforcing the Factually Untrue
The feedback loop created by selective thinking is classic
hypnotic methodology. Confirmation bias is thus a way of “pacing
one’s self” into a state of hypnotic belief.
When used in advertising, confirmation bias is the pacing of
choice, for raw hypnotic influence.
To wit: The more one absorbs information that agrees with what
they already believe, contrary evidence holds less and less
value. This is why a person can be “talked” into a hypnotic
belief system that is contrary to the real world.
Try these examples by answering each question TRUTHFULLY:
1. Does Santa Clause really exist, (led by flying reindeer)? 2.
Is our moon made of Swiss cheese? 3. Can snakes talk? 4. Have
you ever witnessed magic flying carpets, or a real genie? 5. Do
horses fly (Pegasus)?
Now notice that none of these have any factual basis as being
true. But they all exist in fantasy, make-believe worlds.
The trick in the hypnotic process is to confuse the believer
into merging the make-believe with the real. And this can be
done through confirmation bias!
Example: Mass Hypnosis through Confirmation Bias
In the list of make-believe stories above, can you recognize
where the situation from item #3 comes from? It’s from the story
of Adam of Eve. This alone makes this article controversial, but
I needed an obvious example.
There are probably millions in the United States alone that,
every Sunday, have impossible stories reinforced to the point
where they become merged with real life, to become literally
indistinguishable from reality by the believer.
It is pure hypnosis through confirmation bias that causes a
seemingly logical, rational, person to accept and believe
something that they know cannot be true. Even children
understand that snakes can’t talk, and yet…
Many believers would rather admit that talking snakes are not
possible while STILL maintaining the belief, than change the
belief!
Want proof? Ask any devout Christian if snakes can talk, and
they will likely tell you that “back then, it might have been
possible, because…”, and then everything else that follows
will be just as pure fantasy as the story itself!
THIS is the power of confirmation bias when it is continually
reinforced. People will violently oppose the truth, even when
faced with unequivocal fact. (But note: the confirmation data
need not be true either; it just needs social ratification!)
An Equal Opportunity Deceiver
It should be noted that confirmation bias is a constant enemy we
all share. It’s a common problem we experience in science, in
religion, in advertising, and in everyday perceptions.
Eugene Schwartz, in Breakthrough Advertising; page 131, states:
“If you can channel the tremendous force of his belief – either
in content or direction – behind only one claim, no matter how
small, then that one fully-believed claim will sell more goods
than all the half-questioned promises your competitors can write
for all the rest of their days. This channeling of belief is so
powerful that, if properly directed, it will even support
otherwise-absurd claims.”
Notice The Last Sentence
Even smart people can be led to believe stupid things with the
right pacing of belief by utilizing the technique of
confirmation bias. (It’s true in psychology; it’s true in
religion; it’s true in hypnosis; it’s true in advertising.)

Many people love the sport, but race horses usually die at very young ages because of it. I can give PLENTY of FACTS on horses that have died very young, for those who do not believe me. I for one am against it, but what are YOU for?
most race horse owners do not care about the horse just the race, they are invesments and not pets.
race horses are trained to only run full out and are not trained to be loving caring pets.
when they reach the end of there usfullness they are usualy not good for a riding horse so they are eather put out as brood mares or destroyed,
I am a horse lover, I own 23 of them and breed them, I also train horses, not brake them cuss I would not want to brake there spirt.
Yes I us my horses for work, roping, team penning, and other events but this is done as a team, me and my horse.
in a nut shell I do not like what horse racing has become.

While some men worry their head stiff over impotence and premature ejaculation, you may be among some who are worried about the opposite. They are horses in bed but can’t seem orgasm easily.
Climaxing too soon may be worrisome but not climaxing at all can be very scary. If you are suffering from this problem, you may need to look carefully at the following facts.
1. Every man is different.
You should realize that every man is different when it comes to sexual endurance. The time that elapses before orgasm is not standardized. It can be as little as 5 minutes and as long as an hour.
2. Psychological Causes.
Your inability to achieve orgasm may have a psychological root. Sexual abuse in childhood can lead to sexual repression. You may be unconsciously withholding orgasm.
3. Prescription drugs.
Drugs prescribed for certain conditions, such as antidepressants and beta blockers, may have a negative impact on sexual response. If you are on any of such drugs, you may experience weak erection or inability to come during sex. This effect should wear off when you stop these medications.
4. Alcohol and recreational drugs.
When you are under the influence of alcohol or other dangerous drugs such as heroine or cocaine, you may experience an unusually turgid erection. This is often accompanied by inability to reach orgasm during intercourse. Desisting from these substances can often eliminate the problem.
5. Sexual Conditioning.
If you orgasm easily from masturbation, you may have gotten used to such stimulation. Guiding your partner to your erogenous zones may help solve the problem.
6. Fear of Intimacy.
You may be afraid of letting go entirely in the presence of your partner. This fear may be embedded in your subconscious. Building trust with your partner can help you feel comfortable sharing intimate sexual experiences with her.
7. Fear from other causes.
If you are afraid of getting your partner pregnant or are otherwise inhibited by religious guilt, you may find it difficult to attain orgasm. You may find that oral sex or masturbation often lead you to orgasm. You may get relief in such instances from sex therapy.
