Head Horse 1.2.1
Tommye Hope
X Factor has completely changed my mindset in my practice, how I compete and shaped a lot of my horsemanship while roping. I have ridden horses, trained, and barrel raced all my life, but within the past 3 years I have started to rope. I had a young horse I knew I couldn't finish in the barrels because she isn't very fast, but would make a great heel horse. So I set off on an adventure of training a rope horse, all while also learning to rope myself! Lucky me, my horse is a natural at reading cattle and watching a corner, but it was still a learning curve. My X Factor membership purchase was a turning point for my positioning, warm up for my heel horse and my body control translating to my horse when delivering. X Factor was also when my "self teaching" of how to heel really took off! Watching videos over and over, taking notes and exploring all of the different pros to learn from was what really helped me start to figure out my swing, timing and delivery.
It has helped my horsemanship out a lot. My favorite part about the site is by far the Facebook coaching group. Ryan Motes series on advancing through the different levels of heeling has helped me the most. My mental game has improved significantly.. And it has changed the way I practice I used to just run steers now I practice to accomplish something.
It has help me tremendously with my horsemanship, the way I practice, and also how approach certain situation. My favorite part of the site is all the different categories you can choose from to work on. Love it

It could be theorized he was abused in his early childhood years based on voice lines as his mother was in a satanic cult which kills, tortures and mutilates people and they cut his head off then replaced it with a horse head.
He is a genius, somewhat, at cutting humans to hang in his basement. His strategy consists of walking around (with a long, dark blade of some kind) and waiting for the player to show up eventually. His dialogue includes lines towards himself and the protagonist.
He is also an evil psychopath who kidnaps people, using them for his sadistic experiments where the protagonist always ends up dead. However, voice lines suggest that he does (vengefully?) care for his dad, hopeful that he will eventually come back to him. "If you see Dad, tell him I've been waiting for him to come back." is what he often says before the protagonist meets his demise.
It is also possible he was raised by abusive, or somewhat harmful, parents. This could be why he has a desire to see his dad, though it doesn't explain why he doesn't speak ill words of his mom. "Mommy, it hurts, please stop, Mommy!", is one of his idle walking voice lines. Along with "Mommy, let me leave my room, I want to see the outside."
HeadHorse's primary outfit includes: lightweight denim overalls with a thick seam right in the middle with no shirt, along with his mask. The mask appears to look like a regular horse head; eyes, teeth, hair, and all. HeadHorse is always covered in blood.
Founders of Equestrian Movement, Katie Boniface and Sarah Gallagher, share a passion and unique vision for the equine industry: to improve horse and rider through education that focuses on correct muscular, mental and emotional development, ultimately strengthening and lengthening the special bond between riders and their horses.
The east pediment of the Parthenon showed the birth of the goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. The event was witnessed by various figures shown on either side and filling the triangular space of the gable end of the temple. In the very corners of this triangle, the time of day was set by the chariot of Helios, god of the sun, rising at dawn, and the chariot of Selene, the Moon goddess, sinking beneath the horizon. Selene's torso is in Athens, while the head of one of her team of horses is in the British Museum.
This is perhaps the most famous and best loved of all the sculptures of the Parthenon. It captures the very essence of the stress felt by a beast that has spent the night drawing the chariot of the Moon across the sky. As the unseen vehicle was shown sinking below the horizon, the horse pins back its ears, the jaw gapes, the nostrils flare, the eyes bulge, veins stand out and the flesh seems spare and taut over the flat plate of the cheek bone.
As difficult as it might be, one should ignore unwanted attention-seeking behaviors. Even intermittently rewarding unwanted behaviors makes a horse try harder or more frequently until it is eventually extinguished. Photo: Erica Larson/The Horse
This is a funny squirrel feeder. You take our Creepy Horse Mask, shrink it down and put a few nuts inside it and get instant hilarity. This hanging vinyl 6-1/2" x 10" Horse Head Squirrel Feeder makes it appear as if any squirrel that eats from it is wearing a Horse Mask. You'll laugh every morning as you drink your coffee while staring out the window into your backyard. Now, if only the squirrels would start a YouTube prank channel, they'd easily get a million followers. Hole on top for hanging with string (not included).
Watch funny video of the Horse Head Squirrel Feeder in action or up your game and turn squirrels into unicorns instead of horses!
Horses were closely associated with the wealthy, land-owning class that could afford to raise and maintain them. Statues of horses and riders were sometimes offered as dedications at sanctuaries of the gods, such as that of Athena on the Akropolis in Athens and that of Demeter at Eleusis.
A lot of low-numbered headers go to the end of their rope before they start to face. This will basically pull the head horse around. When it is slower, it is harder on both the head and the heel horse, to have to pull the other horse around.
Trigeminal-mediated headshaking, formerly known as idiopathic headshaking, is a condition characterized by uncontrollable shaking, flicking, or jerking of the head, sometimes violently, without any apparent cause. Although the first case was described over 100 years ago, headshaking is still not well understood.
Research performed at UC Davis confirmed the involvement of the trigeminal nerve, a large nerve that runs across the face. In affected horses, this nerve has a very low threshold for activation, meaning that it fires spontaneously or with minimum stimulus. This causes the horse to experience tingling, itching, or burning sensations. The exact mechanism is unclear since the nerve appears normal under microscopic examination.
Trigeminal-mediated headshaking occurs around the world, affecting approximately 1% of horses. All breeds are susceptible. The condition can occur at any age (average age of onset is 9 years). Geldings appear to be the most commonly affected group.
Headshaking is seasonal in approximately 60% of affected horses, with peaks occurring in the summer in the United States. Clinical signs can be triggered in response to wind, light, high pitched sound, or increased exercise intensity. This can result in impaired performance in affected horses. In severe cases, horses may experience self-inflicted trauma and the condition can interfere with eating, leading to compromised welfare. These cases can become dangerous for both horses and riders/handlers.
It is important to rule out other reasons for the clinical signs such as sinusitis, dental issues (tooth abscess, dental disease, fractured tooth), viral infection, ear infection, ear mites (Trombicula autumnalis), ear ticks (Otobius megnini), foreign bodies, tumors, neck pain, temporohyoid osteoarthropathy, guttural pouch disorders, ethmoid hematomas, cysts or masses in the eyes, ill-fitting tack, and behavior disorders.
There is no specific or curative treatment for trigeminal-mediated headshaking. Avoiding known triggers can alleviate clinical signs, but this approach may be impractical. Nose nets and fly masks with ultraviolet light protection have been reported to provide some improvement in clinical signs, but full resolution is rare. Medications have variable success and side effects are possible. Note that these drugs are used to help control the nerve pain associated with headshaking and do not address or correct the root cause. Chiropractic and acupuncture treatment do not appear to reliably alleviate headshaking.
Since the clinical signs and response to treatment are extremely variable, the prognosis for trigeminal mediated headshaking is case-dependent. Some horses can be managed to limit or reduce clinical signs, providing some relief. There is no cure for trigeminal-mediated headshaking and extreme cases may require euthanasia.
"They crossed over the fence to go check a small trap they have in the lake. When they crossed back over, my daughter crossed the fence and Houston stayed on the inside, and the horse got startled and kicked him," Houston's uncle Tyler Hampton recalled.
Curtis said the accident opened up Houston's forehead and caused him to be unconscious until EMTs arrived. Houston's family said his life was saved by Hampton, the fast-responding EMTs and LifeFlight.
"I've been involved in the emergency medical for most of my life. Between myself knowing the basics of what I know, my brother being instructed by dispatch, and the fast response of the first responders, we were able to get Houston loaded quickly," Hampton said.
"The last thing this family needs to worry about is finances. They have so much more to worry about right now, and if we can take a little bit of the burden off their plate, then we feel like we're helping," said Kiley Noyes, who organized the fundraiser.
