Hi everyone today I waas told to do a self reflection on my public speaking and sort of someone else’s
So my speach was about horses and what I liked most about it was probably the part where I talked about the breeds I memorized most of that even the parts where they said words that I barley knew like Eohippus, Messohippus, Merychippus and Pliohippus
What I could have done to improve was probably EVERYTHING! I finished a bit late so I did not have a lot of time to practice but I had enough time and I avoided it sometimes I mean I still did do it but I could have been WAY more prepared also I memorized a lot of speach but I was so nervous that I barley looked up I was pretty much reading off the cards also my speach was saying basic things and it was kind of boring but that is all that I can think of for now but there is SO many more things
I liked Brutus’s Public speaking because it was very good and it made a lot of sense and it was very cool because it was about the boat named queen mary
I think this person needed to improve their Public speaking because it was very long but I liked the speach it was interesting it was about the titanic but it was VERY long like 8 minutes!
Here is the picture of me doing my post
Public speaking
Imagine feeling free, feeling such joy and happiness with a breeze flowing through your hair… I can tell you that this is the best feeling in the world. hello Mr. Watters and grade 5 today i’m going to talk to you about Horses! my three main things I will talk about are how to care for horses, the breeds and colours of horses and how horses are therapeutic
I know that knowing horse breeds can be pretty important for buying a horse because some horses are more strong, smart or fast here are some of my favorite breeds Thoroughbred, Dutch warmblood, hanoverian and Arabians actually people are doing some really mean things to arabians its called overbreeding that means that people are pretty much squishing the horses face and it makes it really hard for them to breathe okay so that is it for the arabians!!! now let me tell you some facts about the breeds thoroughbreds are known for speed and for getting over jumps so they could be good at show jumping, races and steeplechases but also a lot of thoroughbreds get bred at breeding and racing farms and then they would get sold if they think they are useless did you know that The oldest horse breed is the Caspian horse and the first horse was a Eohippus. They even had toes! The order from the oldest breed to the newest is Eohippus, Messohippus, Merychippus, Pliohippus and then the modern horse.
Did you know that horses are therapeutic!? they can help you get through trauma and injuries did you know that you can ride a horse even if you can’t use you legs you would use a western saddle which is way more comfortable and they put a seatbelt on it also even if your so injured you can’t even get close to getting on the horse you could just stay in the stall and use a body brush and groom then just staying with them could make those people calmer because for some people they could have had a big accident then hanging with horses will help get rid of all that trauma like for some people they get on a horse and all their worries go away and they just think about keeping the horse under control horses really help with people with anxiety and other things like that like for me whenever I come back from horseback riding I feel so much calmer than I was before riding.
I am absolutely certain that horse care is the most important part of Horseback riding, Owning a horse and even just being around horses you can do different things to care for horses there are some basic things like feeding them, grooming them and giving them water now the harder things that doing is kind of not that fun like mucking out stalls which for those of you who don’t know what that means it means that you scoop out the poop from their stalls if you do not muck out the stalls it is a small part of neglecting the horse another thing you have to do is change the bedding then you have to pick out their hooves because they get dirt in their hooves and it’s uncomfortable and it can get an infection in the hooves if you don’t pick them out you also have to turn them out into the paddock to stretch their legs and also take them for a ride or a walk or even just lunge them lunging means putting them on a long rope and and make them walk, trot, canter and sometimes even a gallop their are a few more things but those are the basics.
In general there are so many different breeds of horses and they all need different care like some need to be fed less and some need to be fed more some need more exercise as well like thoroughbreds they need to be exercised all the time because they are in races so much. As I said before horses are therapeutic, they help with past trauma and make people way calmer so if you want to spend time with horses gallop on down to your local stable and spend some quality time with horses it will be the best thing you’ve done all week!
