People say that the way one dresses says a lot about him/her. While we generally limit this to adults, parents have gone the extra mile to ensure that their babies are in vogue with the current trends. I am not saying that you can expect to see babies with 2 piece bikinis on the beach. What I am trying to say is that there is a whole fashion industry associated with baby clothing in the offing. It has been facing a tremendous boom, with many parents suddenly getting conscious about their baby’s image.

To start off with, there are many ‘departments of clothing’, when it comes to infant clothing. You have designer wear, organic wear, fun clothing, general everyday wear so on and so forth. Depending on what you are looking for, you can shortlist your options.

If you are a guy with cash to spend, you can head to your nearest designer baby clothing showroom. Designer baby clothing has risen to fame in the recent past, with many celebrities purchasing custom made designer clothes for their babies. The fad has spread throughout the market. Every parent now wants his/her kid to be the new star in town and this high demand has sparked a manufacturing spree among the designers. More focus is being given to this branch of clothing and it is sure to keep rising in terms of popularity, keeping in mind the current situation.

If you are the normal (by normal, I mean a non-celebrity, typical American household kind of guy) parent, you might want to consider purchasing organic clothing. Organic clothing is the safest option for your baby, because it is made of 0% pesticide cotton, which means that your baby’s skin is absolutely safe, and also that you are doing your bit to help conserve the environment. Organic clothing might not be as expensive or stylish as designer wear, but is definitely safer for your baby.

You should also try buying fun clothes for your baby. For example, try getting a shirt that has a good saying or a good joke on it, which might also prove to be a positive kind of influence on your baby. It might seem a little odd, but getting fun clothes can be really good for your infant. Always get colorful clothes because it always sets the mood. Drowsy colors are a no-no. But don’t go too much out of the way and do something like buying an orange shirt and purple trousers. That’s not exactly what I had in mind.
So baby clothing is definitely something serious. It is essential that you get your baby the right clothes, because the clothes that your baby wears speak a lot about your baby. You can dress up your baby either elegant, or cute, or go the designer way. Either ways, baby clothing is no laughing matter and requires the proper and undivided attention of parents.

Among the animals of equal or greater strength, the horse is the most useful to man because of its superior nervous development. In fact, it has almost perfect control of its muscles and bones.

This perfect control gives horses instant response to any outside stimulus. For example, if you strike a horse with a whip you get an immediate action of some kind, which depends on the breed of horse.

It is because of this highly developed nervous organization that the horse has displaced all other animals who are able to carry heavy loads among civilized people.

But here’s a common problem:

The horse is often given credit for more intelligence than he deserves. Many would even place him on a level of reason with the man. Perhaps this is because of the demeanor of most horses, but it is a fallacy.

Now don’t get me wrong. Horses aren’t Stupid, but THE HORSE CANNOT REASON. It may be able to act on how you touch it, or speak to it, but this is a learned response after you spend many hours with your horse. If you notice at first, these interactions do not have the desired response with your horse, and it is only with firm interaction that they learn the meaning you intend.

I make this statement, not merely as a theory, but as a fact based upon more than twenty years of close observation and contact with many thousands of horses.

In the area of intelligence and reason, there is a vast gulf between man and horse – a gulf so wide that no horse will most likely ever cross it. You need to understand that horses look smart, but need time to learn what we are intending, and take that into account if you want to be effective in training your animal!

Since the horse cannot talk and does not understand what you say, you will have to make your wants known to him in the first place through the sense of touch. Later this method of communication will be merged into that of voice and motions. As for instance, a touch of the whip will mean at first “Go on”; later a motion of the whip will have the same effect, and at last the word “Get-up” will mean the same thing.

When you talk to the horse through the sense of touch, take into consideration the nervous organization. To some horses a sharp stroke of the whip may be very cruel, because of the extreme sensitiveness of their nerves, or being thin skinned as many term it, when to another horse the same stroke would only attract attention.

Watch your horse closely so that you may know and act accordingly. You cannot train a horse and put only half your attention to your work. Be alert and keen, ready to take advantage of any sign of submission or wilfulness.
