unreferenced date July 2009 File Horsemanship for Women 056.png thumb Desensitizing an otherwise trained horse to accept the fluttering skirt of a lady s riding habit . The term, sack out , also refers to going to sleep . Sacking out is a method used by horse trainer s to Desensitization psychology desensitize a horse to potentially frightening situations or objects. It is a process that, done properly, teaches a horse to not fear certain objects or situations, and, over time can be used to teach a horse to stop and listen to its handler in any potentially frightening situation, thus, in effect, to assess the situation instead of immediately acting upon its Fight or flight response fight or flight instinct . An example of the need for desensitizing training is when an object, such as a plastic bag, suddenly blows across the path of horse and rider, which, if the horse has not been properly desensitized, could result in spooking. Spooking is potentially dangerous, as it can result in fallen riders or horses bolting into danger. Another example would be the need to desensitize a horse to the sound of traffic, music, loudspeakers and other stimuli seen at public events. In some cases, a previous bad experience may have given a horse reason to fear a specific situation, requiring a form of Systematic desensitization to gradually overcome its fear. A typical method to desensitize the horse to things like plastic bags is to begin in a step by step process with a mildly worrisome object, such as a towel or blanket. A handler reduces the animal s wariness of a strange object by showing it to the horse in increasingly vigorous ways, first by simply allowing the animal to sniff it, then to touch or rub it gently over the animal until it shows no sign of fear, then, ultimately to flap it and wave it about. Through multiple sessions, the horse will first become accustomed to a specific object, then, as the horse is introduced to additional stimuli, including large blankets, pla ... more details

This was traditionally the last and culminating portion of all Roman triumph s. The street is significant as one of the oldest roads in Rome as well as its central location around temples and judicial offices leading to the largest and most important of the Republican Temples. Julius Caesar is said to have climbed this road on his knees to offset a bad omen during his triumph. The earliest history of the road as well as the hill itself is not completely clear as much of Rome s earliest records were destroyed in a sacking of the city.
