This was becoming truly a nightmare for me for as I was entrusted to write articles on horses by a client. This was okay when you are likely to get materials from Google or browse through the internet. But the matter is not always so when the subject horse or the special breed has no history behind it nor does it feature anywhere in the sites or something vague has been mentioned somewhere. Tell me, isn't that a real HORRIFIC THING? In any case I had to write those articles for I was a writer and have to make a living out of it. Thus, began the tales of these wonder animals and to tell you the truth what was not available on the web I manufactured in my modula oblangata or the cerebral area or whatever you may call it.
The horses I wrote about were quite a varied and unique breed by themselves. In fact, while writing and pondering over the details I fell in love with horses for steady long time. Yet the nightmare stuck for those specie which had no record anywhere nor any website gave me enough clues. However, I overcame the initial block by getting around tips like the horse's origin was in such and such country and looked over the detailed geographical map of the country to see whether the country was a desert, a mountainous region, a flat land, a place of extremes in temperatures, cold icy areas and the like. Naturally, my thoughts too went off into that direction and I could reasonably think of facts or rather imagine something like if the breed originated in mountainous region then it ought to be one of the sturdiest variety and if there were human populace then the horse in all likelihood would be used as beasts of burden. In places where the past history was full of conflicts, battles and nomadic warriors I came to the conclusion that the horse would surely be a little more sporty and courageous than the other specie. Thus, I deduced in a unique way such that all my articles paid off without a single one being rejected by the client.
Here is a nice advise for would be writers of articles. Never get intimidated by any subject even if you have very little knowledge about it until and unless you have to do in depth research in that subject area. For that you do need a little more than your usual tricks and writing tools. In any case what I thought was going to be a sordid horrific event turned out to be quite a neat little adventure in writing. And lo behold! I wrote out articles on horses after horses including specie like the Prezewalski's Horse, Pyrenean Tarpan, Qatgani Horse, Quarter Horse, Quarter Horse Cross, The Saddlebred Horse, Sanhe breed of horses, The Spannish Barb Horse, The Spannish Norman Horse, Spotted Mountain Horse, Spotted Saddle Horse, Tracking Horse, Thessalian Horse, Thoroughbred Horse, Tiger Horse, Tokaro Horse, The Quarab Horse, Tawleed Horse, The Tarpan Horse, Taishuh Horse, Spotted Draft Horse and the Russian Trotter Horse. Of course apart from the above breeds of horses there were other horses which were either extinct or were cross bred several times over. It is only by getting their names in authenticated registry that the horses get their names. However, for speed racing the most sought after horses are the quarter horse or quarter horse cross. Some of these animals cost millions of dollars and their owners rake in huge money through betting on horse races as you may perhaps know.
So much about horses, but I shall come with more tales of these animals some time later.
