Clinton Anderson's Downunder Horsemanship On RFD-TV Airs A Most Commendable Horse Rehab
Every Sunday afternoon (1pm mountain time, to be exact) the rural farm delivery channel airs an hour-long episode of Clinton Anderson’s Downunder Horsemanship program.
In a day and age where many equine trainers are entirely focused on a horse’s pedigree and almost insist that any horse not crafted from the most prestigious bloodlines be looked upon as insignificant, Anderson has taken on a most commendable project. Check it out on DISH Network channels’ RFD-TV.
Adopting a young mare from the horse-rescue facility, Habitat For Horses, this acclaimed Aussie expert is in the process of rehabilitating and training ‘Cider’. Working with her from the ground up, he has overcome the horse’s neglectful and abusive past, teaching the lovely girl that humans can be kind and trustworthy.
At the end of the process, which is showcased on Anderson’s television program for many weeks running, the mare will go to an experienced, qualified, horse-friendly home in a special drawing. The horse and her tack will be worth (if one can put a monetary value on something so incredible) an estimated 30k.
We should note that Clinton Anderson isn’t some rookie who’s trying to make a name for himself. He’s one of the most recognized names in the industry and is highly sought after for horse training, riding instruction and nationwide appearances.
His tour stops, sponsored by Wahl Industries, are always packed to the rafters, with tickets selling for approximately $25 per person (with some tickets gifted to loyal customers).
He works diligently with apprentices when at his facility in Texas (to which he recently relocated from Belle Center, Ohio) and is known for working his own horses at any available hour. Sources say it’s not unusual for him to be out in the arena at 3 a.m.
This is a professional who is entirely dedicated to his craft. The only reason Anderson would take on a project as time consuming as training an adult horse of unknown lineage, entirely for the purpose of giving her a new lease on life and ultimately giving her away to a deserving horse aficionado at the end of her schooling process, is because he’s a good person.
Not only is he a good person, but he’s a great horseman. It’s only a great (and true) horseman who would look past the names printed on a horse’s breeding registry and into the heart of the animal.
If there’s such a thing as horsemanship sainthood, Anderson’s got my nomination. And RFD-TV gets a great commendation for airing this fantastic program, too. Thank goodness we get to witness this great show with the wonders of satellite TV on DISH Network!
Want To Learn About Chihuahuas? You're Barking Up The Right Tree With Animal Planet on DISH TV!
Our family just loves all the fun animal shows on the Animal Planet Network. One program called ‘Dogs 101’ has become a real favorite in our household!
When mom was looking for a little dog this summer, we were inspired by a Chihuahua story we saw on a DISH network TV channel. There’s just no end to all the fascinating things you can learn on satellite television! And with all DISH satellite TV's deals, it's a really affordable way to keep the entire family educated and entertained.
We had always thought these little guys were too cute, but after learning a bit more about them, we found that they’re pretty fascinating, with an interesting history, too. Ancestors of today’s feisty little pocket pets were first discovered in the region we refer to as Chihuahua, Mexico, which borders our states of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico.
Did you know that the modern-day Chihuahua is descended from the small Mayan Techichi? This little dog dates back to the 5th century AD. Wealthy members of Aztec society as well as their clergy actually revered the Techichi as sacred. Hmm; I think my mother in law thinks her Chihuahua is sacred, too!
The AKC (American Kennel Club) first recognized the breed in 1904. The short haired variety is generally the breed standard, but the long haired dogs are growing in popularity.
Many Chihuahuas live into their late teens, and they’re typically healthy dogs that are relatively low-maintenance. They’re surprisingly hearty despite their tiny size! Being so alert, they make a wonderful alarm system. That fact is one of the reasons we were all so encouraging of mom adopting one; she’s elderly and lives alone. Having her little dog’s companionship is really good for her.
Their exercise requirements are usually minimal, another factor that makes them a terrific pet for older folks. Like mom, they don’t care much for colder weather. Playing ball in the apartment or a little game of tug of war wears them both out – no need for lengthy walks outside every day.
Mom’s dog loves his little crate; it’s like his own private haven. He’ll actually go in there on his own when he needs a time out from family activity. He has his snuggly blankie and a stuffed duck in there to cuddle up with.
There are many resources, including online information sites along with the interesting DISH Network television programs like Animal Planet’s Dogs 101 show that may help educate canine-curious viewers about various dog breeds.
If the Chihuahua is the breed that best suits your lifestyle and temperament, you’re sure to be thrilled with this new addition to your family!
Watch And Learn |Your Satellite TV Service Does Double Duty For Education And Entertainment
Television has provided us, young and old, male and female, with an incredible variety of entertainment, informational, and viewing pleasure since its inception. Consider the educational opportunities it affords us, too!
Many disaffected viewers have inferred (incorrectly) that all the tube is good for is the occasional escape from reality, especially in the case of children. This negative perception of the effect of television on impressionable, young minds is so pervasive at times that one doesn’t have to look too hard, or too far, to hear oddly biased reports on how television viewing should be strictly reduced for young children, and just for good measure it wouldn’t hurt adults either.
However, due to the incredible diversification and augmentation of media outlets into our digital lives, and the sheer number of programming options along with the assortment of DISH TV channels available with a service such as DISH Network, home viewers can now turn their satellite television signal into an education portal that will help to expand the minds of all who sit down to watch.
This becomes less an issue of whether or not you watch TV, and more precisely what you watch. With any satellite television programming package viewers will have access to all of the typical entertainment sources available today. However, viewers can also have access to the a widest range of educational channels in existence. This includes all the offerings from PBS, local college and university programming, the gamut of education offerings from the Discovery Channels, and so many other sources. This is because the satellite television industry, and DISH Network in particular, has taken a leading role in bringing education directly to the home television screen.
The opportunities for education are so vast with a satellite connection, that subscribers find that there exists an educational channel oriented to meeting the needs of each of the different members of the family by age group. DISH Network even offers BabyFirstTV, directed towards the learning needs of infants! Other channels, of course, aim to teach young children, adolescents, and a broad offering of educational content for adults as well. No longer will any member of a household have the excuse of saying they just can't find anything worth watching.
When you add a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) to your satellite television system, you will be able to guarantee that an interesting and beneficial program is always readily available, and avoid those windows of programming scarcity that exist at certain times. Today's DVRs have intelligent search functions that will help you track down exactly what you're looking for, such as keyword searches, and allow you to easily set automatic recordings of future episodes of a series to keep you and your entire family connected to valuable satellite television programming.
With all the incredible DISH Network specials, including free professional installation, it’s easier than ever to turn your home theater into a educational gateway.
Why Does Fame Bring Out Celebrity Mean Streaks? | DISH Network Stars Still Shine
Seek and ye shall find -- a few stars can be found who do remain humble in spite of fame. Many people turn mean with success, but some of the kindest and most authentic individuals don’t let celebrity change them. You'll always find some interesting celebrity news on DISH Network channels.
We all hear, with disturbing regularity, about the rich and famous folks who let fame go to their heads, hardening their hearts in the process. In most any venue, be it film, TV or general corporate business, a taste of success often adds a mean edge to many people. Why is that? What makes so many people think that achievement (be it by their own hard work or just blind luck, or maybe a fortunate mix of the two) entitles them to imagine they’re better than the rest of society?
The fact of the matter is that no amount of success, and no degree of failure, actually alters anything of true importance. The only value of material wealth is in the experiences it affords us. There are a few celebrities who seem to understand this.
For example, young actor Shia LaBeouf was deliberately gracious, kind and engaging with a lovely fan whom he met on the Today Show this summer. He even invited the girl to spend the day with him, behaving like a gentleman and a genuinely nice person rather than a spoiled star.
Sean Lennon, youngest son of the late John Lennon, has been dubbed as one of the most humble celeb offspring around. Actress Angelina Jolie and singer Jessica Simpson have both been recognized for their work with, and kindness to, under-privileged kids. Even if you’re not a big fan of these performers, it’s impossible to deny that they’ve nicely used their celebrity status for good rather than evil.
Be sure to check out the many fun and news-worthy entertainment programs on DISH Network TV. You’ll catch glimpses of even more uplifting star stories. DISH Network always offers terrific TV deals and DISH specials, letting customers enjoy the highest quality satellite entertainment at the lowest prices.
Parental Controls | It Easier Than You Think To Regulate TV In Your House
Year after year, parents spend their hard earned money investing in state-of-the-art technologies to limit and control what their children watch on the television; hundreds of dollars in many cases. With the increasing popularity of DISH Network, such parental control devices have become even more important, and encouragingly enough more widely used. DISH Network's specials always let you get thest best service options, along with quaility DISH TV equipment for affordable prices that fit right into the family budget.
More and more channels are available, and even though many offer great children's programming, it true that there are also more channels with less child-friendly content as well. DISH Network's parental control technologies today are better than ever and give parents a variety of ways to make certain their children are watching the types of shows that are meant for them. When combined with television rating systems, protecting children from potentially harmful content is easier than ever.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of content that is entirely appropriate for adults yet remains questionable or entirely inappropriate for children. Sometimes, the source of such content is often from the most unsuspecting of the bunch, like cable news. The next time you tune into a cable news channel, which are generally rated TV-14, take time to note what is being shown and how it's being said, and think about how this could affect your children.
Television today is all about ratings, and news and current events shows depend on ratings as much as networks do in prime time. News channels, while primarily designed to inform, are also in the entertainment business and at times sensationalize their content. Such intentions, while entirely acceptable and responsible, means that sometimes their content is simply not designed for younger children.
What can responsible parents do? There's no set answer to this question, but doing something is still better than doing nothing. Using the tools provided by DISH Network to restrict and monitor your children's television content is a great way to make sure they're watching age-appropriate content.
However, the best remedies are those that combine the tools we have with natural parenting skills. Watch television with your kids whenever possible. Take an interest in what they're watching. Talk to your children about the things they see, hear, and learn on television, and what they think and feel about what is going on in the world. Make sure to talk about more important issues, and encourage your children to watch a variety of shows. Remember, your children are much more influenced by satellite TV than you are, but they are influenced by you the most.
Parental controls from DISH Network, combined with your involvement in your children's television experience, is the perfect combination of technology and responsibility. There's always family-friend and kid-appropriate progamming on DISH Network channels. Check out the perfect selection of DISH Network deals to make sure all your entertainment needs are covered.
