Super Horse:
Microminiaturization has transformed the computer from a military, engineering, and limited business tool to an impor¬tant, widely used device. Primarily, computers manipulate num¬bers. Because numbers can symbolize any kind of information —words of a foreign language, the traffic pattern on a highway, musical notes in a symphony, the status of a chess game, or any one of myriad situations of importance in human affairs— the computer can perform any function that can be converted to a numerical system. It is far more than a super calculator, just as the automobile is far more than a super horse. The impact of the computer on society will be at least as great as that of the automobile.Ante Before the game, each player including the dealer puts an equal agreed amount into the pool. Betting Each player decides which horse he will back. A player may bet only on one horse; more than one player may bet on the same horse. A horse still runs even if no one bets on it.

GOSHEN, go'shan, a residential village in south¬eastern New York, the seat of Orange county, is situated about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of New York City. Goshen is famous as a center of harness- horse racinghorse racing; it has been called "the cradle of the trotter." Harness races are held an¬nually for one week in July at the Historic Track, which has been registered as a national historic place. The Hall of Fame of the Trotter has the world's largest collection of Currier and Ives lithographs of harness horses.In northern Europe, where the soil must be cultivated rapidly because of the short growing season, the collar harness made it pos¬sible for the horse to replace the ox in the plow, and throughout much of Europe horses largely replaced oxen for hauling carts and wagons.The key part of the collar harness is a stiff padded collar with rigid projections (names) to which the traces or shafts are attached. The advantage of the harness is that the horse can push against the collar full force without im¬peding its breathing or circulation.
On The Other Hand See Horse -drawn:
The earliest known association between man and horse -drawn was about 10,000 years ago in the Americas, where the horse -drawn was a food animal. For reasons still unclear, the horse -drawn disappeared from the Americas, possibly hunted to extinc¬tion. Early Domestication. The first domestications —possibly as much as 5,000 years ago (3000 B.C.)—were in Central Asia, by barbarous tribes who began herding horse -drawns for food. The first contacts with civilization were near Iran, where the wheel-building techniques of the civilized peoples of Mesopotamia were applied to the con¬struction of horse -drawn-drawn war chariots with spoked wheels about 1700 B. c.The earliest known association between man and horse -drawn was about 10,000 years ago in the Americas, where the horse -drawn was a food animal.
