A horse’s tail is very important to him. Not only does it act as a fly swatter in summer, it keeps his “bottom” warm in winter! The area between a horse’s hind legs is the only part not kept warm by hair, so it loses the greatest amount of warmth if left exposed by too much trimming.

From a horse’s point of view, the best tail is a natural tail.

Some horses have thin ragged tails, while others have tails so thick they cannot be braided for formal riding events and shows. To make the best of their appearance, thick or thin, different tails are treated in different ways. Some styles even go in and out of fashion!

Many horses have white markings on their faces.

All these markings all have special names. These names are used by horse people to identify different horses which may otherwise appear the same in color.

The markings themselves may vary in shape, but bear a similarity on most horses.

Everyone knows that baby horses are called foals.

Boy foals are called colts, while girl foals are called fillies. Young horses are called colts and fillies up until the age of 3.

Yearlings are colts or fillies who are a year old.

When a horse is born, it’s legs are almost their full adult length! – giving them that extremely cute “long-legged look” we all love so much.

free wedding coloring pages

A wedding is the ceremony in which two people are united in marriage. Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, religions, countries, and social classes. Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of wedding vows by the couple, presentation of a gift (offering, ring(s), symbolic item, flowers, money), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or leader. Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is followed by a wedding reception. Music, poetry, prayers or readings from Scripture or literature also may be incorporated in the ceremony.

A number of cultures adopt the western custom of a bride wearing a white dress. This tradition came to symbolize purity in the Victorian era (despite popular misconception, the white dress did not indicate virginity, which was symbolized by the face veil). Within the ‘white wedding’ tradition, a white dress and veil would not have been considered appropriate for a second or third wedding of a widow or a divorcee.

Exchanging rings may be the oldest and most universal symbol of marriage, but the origins are unclear.[citation needed] The ring’s circular shape represents perfection and never-ending love. The rings are exchanged during the wedding ceremony and according to tradition, symbolize the love, faithfulness and commitment of the marriage union.[citation needed]

The wedding is often followed by a reception in which the rituals may include toasting the bride and groom, the newlyweds’ first dance as husband and wife, and cake cutting.

4 christmas coloring pages for kids

Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Christ; a quarter day in England, Wales, and Ireland.Christmas Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ.[2][3] The day marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.[4] The nativity of Jesus, which is the basis for the anno Domini system of dating, is thought to have occurred between 7 and 2 BC.[5] December 25 is not thought to be Jesus’ actual date of birth, and the date may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival,[6] or with the winter solstice.[7]

Modern customs of the holiday include gift-giving, Church celebrations, and the display of various decorations—including the Christmas tree, lights, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. Santa Claus (also referred to as Father Christmas, although the two figures have different origins) is a popular mythological figure often associated with bringing gifts at Christmas for children. Santa is generally believed to be the result of a syncretization between Saint Nicholas and elements from pagan Nordic and Christian mythology, and his modern appearance is believed to have originated in 19th century media.

Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. Because gift-giving and several other aspects of the holiday involve heightened economic activity among both Christians

Dumbo Free Coloring Pages

Mrs. Jumbo unhappily looks on how children are delivered by stork to colleague circus-animals but as even a child elephant makes a most unmanageable package, so her so is just final to arrive, but soon becomes a laughing stock for the jealous herd because of his more then jumbo-size ears, so he gets nick-named Dumbo. When she can’t stomach the public making fun of her firstborn, she is locked up as mad elephant, and the taunted kid finds himself all alone; well, except for a self-appointed mentor-protector, Timothy Q. Mouse -subsize, yet ideal to scare the jealous herd- who keeps motivating Dumbo. Alas inspiring the circus director to make Dumbo the top (literally) of an elephant pyramid stunt literally brings the house down, so he’s demoted to clown. Once everything seems lost, they accidentally discover how they ended up in a tree with a bunch of crows.

When Security Officer John Brown is horribly injured after chasing after a killer, Dr. Brenda Bradford sees it as a perfect opportunity for her new project to take place. When John wakes up, he finds his body changed. John Brown is now Inspector Gadget; a cybernetic police officer whose first plan is to hunt down the killer of Bradford’s father.

Security guard John Brown wants to be a cop. After a battle with a cyberthief leaves him critically injured, Brown’s employer, Dr. Brenda Bradford, turns him into the robotic cybercop Inspector Gadget. Gadget and Brenda battle the Claw, an evil industrialist intent on stealing Brenda’s technological secrets and destroying Gadget once and for all.

Most commonly used gadgets

Inspector Gadget Coloring Pages

* Gadget Binoculars: Binoculars lower down out of his hat and over his eyes.

* Gadget ‘Brella: A hand holding an umbrella that comes out of his hat. It can be used as a parachute. More often than not, he will fall rapidly when using his ‘Brella’ when it turns inside-out.

* Gadget Coat: His trench coat inflates when he pulls one of its buttons and enables him to float — in water or in the sky. It is almost always deflated by being punctured, causing him to shoot through the sky as the air is released before falling from a great height. However, in “Winter Olympics” (Pilot episode, Season 1), Gadget refers to it as “Gadget blimp”.

* Gadget ‘Copter: Helicopter propeller blades that come out of his hat that enable him to fly. Gadget has a second, “Spare” unit available in the event of failure (episode 9).

* Gadget Cuffs: A handcuff comes out of his forearm just above his hand.

* Gadget Hands: Several mechanical hands can pop out of Gadget’s hat. These hands will sometimes hold various objects including a camera, a motorized fan, a spotlight, a can opener, and other useful things. Of course, there are times when they will also be holding something useless or unhelpful to the situation.

* Gadget Legs/Arms/Neck: His neck, arms, and legs can telescope and extend to great lengths. Embedded into his left hand is a crank that can be used to retract the arm (episode 1).

* Gadget Legs (springs): As well as being telescopic, his legs can also extend with springs, which is useful for jumping and landing. Inspector Gadget Coloring Pages

* Top-Secret Gadget Phone: A telephone in his hand. The earpiece is located in his thumb, while the mouthpiece is located in his pinky finger. This is one of the few gadgets that is not voice activated; Instead, Chief Quimby activates it by calling Gadget. (There is also a regular telephone inside Gadget’s hat.)

* Gadget Skates: Roller skates come out of the bottom of his shoes. He is often very clumsy and struggles to keep his balance on the skates. Later in the series, he tries adding his own modifications in the form of rockets that come out from the sides. These have even more glitches than most of his gadgets for their first few appearances. Inspector Gadget Coloring Pages

* Gadget Springs: A spring comes out of his hat (he also has one in each shoe), enabling him to bounce, usually when falling head first and hitting his head against the ground.

Donald Duck Coloring PagesDonald Duck first seemed in the Silly Symphonies cartoon The Wise Little Hen on June 9, 1934 (though he is brought up in a 1931 Disney storybook). Donald’s show in the cartoon, as created by animator Dick Lundy, is similar to his advanced look — the feather and beak colors are the same, as is the blue sailor shirt and hat — but his features are more elongated, his body plumper, and his feet bigger. Donald’s personality is not developed either; in the short, he only fills the role of the unhelpful friend from the original story.

Bert Gilett, director of The Wise piddling Hen, brought Donald back in his Mickey Mouse cartoon, Orphan’s Benefit on August 11, 1934. Donald is one of a number of characters who are giving performances in a benefit for Mickey’s Orphans. Donald’s act is to recite the poems Mary Had a Little Lamb and Little Boy Blue, but every time he tries, the mischievous orphans eat his specially made pie, leading the duck to fly into a squawking fit of anger. This explosive personality would remain with Donald for decennaries to come.

Donald continued to be a hit with audiences. The character began appearing in most Mickey Mouse cartoons as a regular member of the ensemble with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto. Cartoons from this period, such as the 1935 cartoon The Band Concert — in which Donald repeatedly disrupts the Mickey Mouse Orchestra’s rendition of The William Tell Overture by playing Turkey in the Straw — are regularly hailed by critics as exemplary films and classics of animation. Animator Ben Sharpsteen also coined the classic Mickey, Donald, and Goofy comedy in 1935, with the cartoon Mickey’s Service Station.

Webkinz are stuffed animals that were in the first place released by the Ganz society. The toys are alike to many other small plushy toys. However, each Webkinz toy has an attached tag with a unique “Secret Code” printed on it that allows access to the “Webkinz World” website. On Webkinz World, the Secret Code allows the user to own a virtual version of the pet for virtual interaction.

There are also smaller, less unaffordable versions of the toys called Lil’ Kinz. In June 2008, Webkinz opened its own eStore, where users can buy virtual items such as furniture and virtual pets. Some normal pets, some wild animals, some mythical creatures, and some completely made up

tropical rainforests are forests with tall trees, warm climate, and lots of rain. In some rainforests it rains more than one inch every day!

Rainforests are found in Africa, Asia, Australia, and Central and South America. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest.

Rainforests worldwide

WHERE ARE RAINFORESTS LOCATED?

Rainforests are found in the tropics, the region between the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer. In this region the sun is very strong and shines about the same amount of time every day all year long making the climate warm and stable.

Many countries have rainforest. The countries with the largest amount of rainforest are:

1. Brazil

2. Congo (Democratic Republic)

3. Indonesia

4. Peru

5. Bolivia

6. Angola

7. Venezuela

8. Papua New Guinea

9. Mexico

10. India

Each rainforest is unique but there are certain features common to all tropical rainforests.

1. Location: rainforests lie in the “tropics”

2. Rainfall: rainforests receive at least 80 inches of rain per year

3. Canopy: rainforests have a canopy which is the layer of branches and leaves formed by closely spaced rainforest trees. Most of the plants and animals in the rainforest live in the canopy. The canopy may be 100 feet above the ground.

4. Biodiversity: rainforests have a high level of biological diversity or biodiversity. Biodiversity is the name for all living things — like plants, animals, and fungi — found in an ecosystem. Scientists believe that about half of the plants and animals found on earth’s land surface live in rainforests.

5. Symbiotic relationships between species: species in the rainforest often work together. A symbiotic relationship is a relationship where two different species benefit by helping each other. For example some plants produce small housing structures and sugar for ants. In return the ants protect the plants from other insects that may want to feed on the plant’s leaves.

In the rainforest most plant and animal life is not found on the forest floor but in the leafy world known as the canopy. The canopy, which may be over 100 feet above the ground, is made up of the overlapping branches and leaves of rainforest trees. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of life in the rainforest is found in the trees making this the richest habitat for plant and animal life. Many well-known animals including monkeys, frogs, lizards, birds, snakes, sloths, and small cats are found in the canopy.

The environment of the canopy is very different from the environment of the forest floor. During the day, the canopy is drier and hotter than other parts of the forest and the plants and animals that live there are specially adapted for life in the trees. For example, because the amount of leaves in the canopy can make it difficult to see more than a few feet, many canopy animals rely on loud calls or lyrical songs for communication. Gaps between trees mean that some canopy animals fly, glide, or jump to move about in the treetops.

Scientists have long been interested in studying the canopy but because of the height of rainforest trees research has been difficult until recently. Today there are special facilities with rope bridges, ladders, and towers to help scientists discover the secrets of the canopy.

The canopy is just one of several vertical layers in the rainforest. Take a look at the diagram on the left to see the other layers (the overstory, understory, shrub layer, and forest floor).

The leaves of the canopy makes the ground layer of the rainforest is often a dark and humid place. However, despite its constant shade, the rainforest floor is an important part of the forest ecosystem.

The forest floor is where decomposition takes place. Decomposition is the process by which decomposers like fungi and microorganisms break down dead plants and animals and recycle essential materials and nutrients.

Many of the largest rainforest animals are found on the forest floor. Some of these include elephants, the tapir, and the jaguar.
