Like so many other things, the rigging of a saddle is where it is today through evolution
Like so many other things, the rigging of a saddle is where it is today through evolution. The cowboy had a “working” saddle that did a little of everything on the ranch such as gathering cattle, rescuing cattle, breaking horses, etc. Different saddle types require different “rigging” for each specific use. The term “rigging” is used to refer to how the cinch strap attaches to the saddle to hold the saddle in place. The rigging hardware can be done with several different options. If you’re buying a quality saddle don’t worry too much about O-rings, D-rings or plates. Sit in the saddle and see if it’s comfortable and then decide if seven-eights or whatever is right for you.
There are basically two types of rigging: conventional in tree rigging and inskirt rigging. Conventional rigging places the bulk of the cinch strap under the rider’s leg. Inskirt rigging is just as secure. With it, the rigging hardware is built directly onto the saddle skirt, either built directly on the skirt or for extra security, built “in” the skirt, where the rigging is attached to an extra metal plate between two layers of leather on the skirt. Some will tell you they think the “in-tree” rigging is the stronger of the two, but both are proven sturdy.
The next differences in rigging are the “Single” or “Double” styles. In Single rigging the flank strap is not used. Instead, the rigging hugs the saddle toward a center point. Double rigging includes both the cinch and the flank strap. The double rigging is especially necessary with roping or any other event that may cause the saddle to want to tilt upwards. Double rigging adds stability for riding in very rough country with ups and downs. Otherwise, the back cinch is, according to some, just another piece of leather to worry about, so they will prefer single rigging.
The Position of the rigging on most saddles is dependant on what the saddle is being used for. Three-way rigging allows you the option of choosing a full double rig; 7/8 double rig; or 3/4 double rig. Rigging that sits under the mid-section of the saddle is called a “centerfire” rigging. Each position toward the horn is given a defferent measurement: 5/8, 3/4, or 7/8.
Most details of your saddle are all personal preference and the rigging is not different. Each detail depends on the use of the saddle and personal preference.
The beagle is a very intelligent, loving, food-motivated dog
The Beagle is a very intelligent, loving, food-motivated dog. This make the breed highly trainable and has helped the Beagle successfully enter and dominate the work force. The real reason Beagles excel as working dogs, however, is their impeccably accurate sense of smell. For this reason, Beagles are often used as detection and tracking dogs in rescue operations and law enforcement. They are used to track and locate missing persons, and they are used as both rescue and cadaver dogs, helping seek out living victims and bodies in the wreckage from buildings collapsing, fires, or natural disasters.
Though Beagles were originally developed as high-powered game detectors for hunters, its role in modern-day society has expanded vastly. The Beagle’s sense of smell is so accurate that they are employed by the United States Department of Agriculture to detect contraband fruits and vegetables that may be smuggled into the country. They even have a name for this Beagle-based team: The USDA Beagle Brigade! Beagles are also used to detect things as strange as termites in homes and as common as drugs in airports. They are a favorite choice of law enforcement agents because of their obedient nature and high intelligence. They also have one of the most sensitive noses of any of the hounds.
It is said that the Beagle’s floppy ears and moderately long snout help the breed when following scents by gathering the molecules from whatever smell it is that they are following. Beagles are more successful at tracking a scent from the ground than they are from an arbitrary place in the air, but they still excel at both skills. Most beagles can even track scents across water. It’s very hard to outsmart a beagle when he has a good whiff of a subjects scent.
The Beagle’s excessively effective sense of smell is a huge benefit and asset to a working dog, but can turn into a significant obstacle when dealing with a household pet. With such accurate noses, the Beagle will always know when you are eating and what you are eating, or if there is something they might want to get at inside the garbage can! This can be difficult to deal with, being that Beagles are notoriously food-motivated animals. The easiest way to counteract this behavior is to train against garbage digging or begging for people food, starting from puppyhood. If your dog knows he will never get to eat the bacon he smells on your breath, he will be less likely to go digging for the wrapper in your trash bin.
Another problem with household pet Beagles and their sense of sent is their innate desire to always track a smell that makes them curious. If you live in a rural area, this can mean your dog wandering miles away in search of a rabbit that could have bounced through your back yard two days ago. Invisible fences or shock collars are virtually useless against Beagles, as they just don’t care about something giving them a light shock when they are following something they could eat, play with, or even just follow!
This is a new series (1-30) of verse no
This is a new series (1-30) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.
Verse No. 30 in the Old Testament says: And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
Verse No. 30 in the New Testament says: They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
Verse No. 30 in the Noble Quran says: and if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our servant (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.

The verse No. 30 in the Old Testament is Genesis 1:30
In the article 29, Genesis 1:29 says: Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you;
Consequently, the Bible determines man’s food; it is every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.
In the verse Genesis 1:29, Herbs and fruits must be man’s food, including corn, and all the products of the earth; it seems likely that the Bible is in favor of the vegetarians.
Furthermore, Genesis 1:30 determines also the food of all the animals and all the birds, the verse says:
And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
This indicates that the food of all the beasts of the earth, all the birds of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life are the green plants.
It is clear then that the green plants are the food of all the animals and all the birds.
Because birds have a high temperature and use lots of energy, they need to eat a lot of food, compared with their weight.
Birds eat different foods. Some birds eat green plants. Other birds eat fish, insects, small reptiles and mice. Birds of prey eat mammals and other birds. Some birds are scavengers and eat the bodies of creatures that have died.
But the Bible in Genesis 1:30 determines the food of the birds, that is “every green plant”.
As for the beasts, every kid knows what they eat.
But the Bible too decides that the food of ALL the beasts is “every green plant”.
However, and to be honest, in Ezekiel 39:17 God will have birds and beasts eat human flesh and drink human blood…

The verse No. 30 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:5
The verse No. 29 in the New Testament is Matthew 2:4
In the articles 26-29, Matthew 2:1-4 say:
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.
In this article, Matthew 2:5 says:
They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:
This is the second prophet who is unidentified and not mentioned by name; Matthew 2:5 mentions without his name. The first prophet is found in Matthew 1:22

Verse No. 30 in the Noble Quran is 2:23,
Chapter 2 is Surah AL-BAQARA (THE COW),
Verses 2:1-5 are talking about the believers. (articles 8-12)
Verses 2:6-7 are talking about the disbelievers. (articles 13-14)
Verses 2:8-20 are talking about the hypocrites. (articles 15-27)
The address of verses 2:21-24 is general to mankind.
In articles 28, verse 2:21 says:
O mankind! worship your guardian-lord, who created you and those who came before you, that you may have the chance to learn righteousness(so that you will be cautious)
In articles 29, verse 2:22 says:
Who (Allah) made the earth a resting place for you and the heaven a canopy and (who) sends down rain from the cloud then brings forth with it subsistence for you of the fruits; therefore do not set up rivals to Allah while you know.
In this article, Verse 2:23 says:
and if ye are in doubt concerning that which we reveal unto our servant (Muhammad), then produce a Surah of the like thereof, and call your witness beside Allah if ye are truthful.
The meaning of verse 2:23:
And if you are in doubt, in uncertainty, concerning what Allah has revealed through the Archangel Gabriel unto His servant, Muhammad, whom you accuse of fabrication of the Quran, that it is from Allah, then bring a Surah like it, then produce a Surah like it in its eloquence, fine arrangement and its bestowal of knowledge of the Unseen.
And call your witnesses, seek help from those other gods that you worship, it is said that this refers to their leaders that they follow, besides Allah, that is, other than Him, so that it can be seen, if you are truthful, in your claim that Muhammad speaks it from himself, that Muhammad invents the Quran. So do this, for you are also fluent speakers of Arabic like him. When they could not do this, Allah said… (See next article).
A Surah of the Quran is a chapter (a passage) with a beginning and end made up of a minimum of three verses)
It is fruitful to know that Chapter 108, Surah AL-KAUTHER (ABUNDANCE) is composed only of 10 Arabic words.
It follows that Allah challenges mankind by producing 10 Arabic words like it (like the Quran) in its eloquence, fine understanding and its assignment of knowledge of the Unseen.
As far as I know, this is the First Linguistics Challenge in the History of Mankind. No author (s) in the history of mankind has the courage to generate a challenge like that. Thousands of scholars came from the Western countries to the East, they have studied thoroughly the Arabic language, some of them wrote books and encyclopedias in Arabic. However, none of them tried to produce 10 Arabic words to beat this unbeaten challenge. Also, they did not tell the people in the West about this unbeaten challenge. Have you ever heard about it?

In addition to all of the benefits you may know about crate training, you may not know that if you don’t crate train your dog, you are robbing them of a sense of belonging, almost like taking away their right to have a home. Dogs have a natural instinct for seeking shelter when they feel threatened, and if they don’t have that shelter, they may not know where to go. Here are some simple tips and tricks to take into consideration when crate training:
1) Take off the dog’s collar. Keeping it on them may cause crate sores, or in a worst case, strangulation. Crate sores are caused by repeated friction of your dog’s skin against something else. In a crate, where there is limited space, the dog may not realize, but they are rubbing against the crate repeatedly and are rubbing their skin raw.
2) Worrying about your dog barking at the crate. When you first introduce your dog to the crate, make sure that your dog is introduced in a positive and happy way. The first time they see the crate, make sure it is fully set up and has all of their favorite toys inside of it. You want them to have a positive first impression of the crate, and any changes after that may make the dog seem like the crate is unfamiliar.
