Generally speaking, a young man can’t be taught how to fish for the “Big Bass” that eludes the best of fishermen. He usually gears up and tries to learn the hard way and once again, he usually persists unsuccessfully. Eventually, as he grows into maturity, he becomes wiser, listening to the masters, and he gains outdoor fishermen’s wisdom from the more experienced and weathered “
Ole Timers’ Club.” The young man can add trophies to his outdoor wall-art collection by reading articles and lists like the two articles published in the Field & Stream magazine, April 2009, pages 47-61.
Like anything that’s worthwhile, fishing for trout, walleyes, pike and crappies has its masters and rewards. Here are a few: Don Wirth, Will Ryan, Gerald Almy, Kirk Deeter, Mark Hicks, Doug Pike, and Noel Vick. These men all participated collectively. . . sharing with all young men, by giving their own wisdom and experience, writing “Fishing’s Cutting Edge.” Check it out young man.
Are you looking for a rare, exotic photograph of horses in addition to your western wall decor? Then check out the article in the Horse Illustrated magazine, December 2009, pages 37-40. The article is a “Breed Profile,” written by Audrey Pavia.
I can just imagine how unusual it would be grooming this unique breed for a horse show. However, look at the benefits that the rancher would have inbreeding this animal’s proven stamina for enduring the extreme colder climate of the high desert mountains and valleys of the State of Nevada. 
Here is a must read. The co-founders of “Cavalia” are a husband and wife team sharing insights into the behavior and training of horses. In the magazine EQUUS, November 2009, pages 38-43 . . . they share Six Principles of training that create the bond between horse and trainer. Principle One: Foster an equal relationship, based on trust and respect. Principle Two: Recognize that each horse develops as an individual. Principle Three: Reduce stress and become a safe, trusted “haven” for the horse. Principle Four: Always be patient. Principle Five: Never use force or become angry. Principle Six. Establish a “natural” form of communications.
“Cavalia” is an equestrian-themed show of 30 highly trained horses which toured the United States in 2004. The article reveals more information about them and their book, Gallop to Freedom. A photo of any of these horses would add beauty and glory as western wall decor. 
Understanding your horse’s moods is as important as the horse knowing your own moods. Yes . . . horses are sensitive to their rider’s moods. Should you wish to learn the signals that a horse communicates, then read the magazine article “Listen to Your Horse,” published in Horse & Rider, November 2009, pages 64-66.
However, if you want to discover your own moods, then each morning stand before your etched glass mirror with the images of horses on it, and take an examination of yourself. Consider how many blessings you have . . . physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Reflect on what you have, including the gift of life, and not on what you want or deserve. This should put you into “The Right Mood” for the day.
I can’t believe that so many folks in society place more value on the moods of a horse over the moods of each other. The message is Love the Lord first, each other next . . . include your self and read the article “Listen To Your Horse.”
The love of horses probably describes and reveals a part of a person’s character. The horse’s strength, intellect, affection, togetherness, dedication, loyalty and individual personalities inspire western artists in the creation of fabulous western wall decor and sculptures.
I was delighted and well informed of the unique “TYPES of HORSES.” In a wonderfully illustrated article in the magazine, EQUUS, November 2009, pages 26-33, types of horses are described in analytical detail.
The author, Deb Bennett, PH. D. , helps us “to understand a particular horse’s potential abilities” related not only to the types of horses but also to their differences in speed, strength, and endurance. We can easily identify with the spirit and soul of a horse.
