También tiene una importancia vital la tarea llevada a cabo por la Asociación de Criadores y Propietarios de Caballos de Raza Menorquina, entidad que trabaja para fomentar y promocionar el caballo de raza menorquina y a cuyo esfuerzo se debe el reconocimiento de esta raza como propia. Junto con las fiestas tradicionales, la doma menorquina juega un papel fundamental en la cultura del caballo en Menorca, MENORCA por cuanto conforma una Horses are the real core of MENORca the fiestas. The work carried out by the Association of Horse breeding and Owners of Menorcan breed horses must also be highlighted.

Routes offered Para comprender la estrecha relación entre los menorquines y visitantes con el caballo, se puede disfrutar del paisaje de Menorca realizando una actividad como la equitación, sin duda una experiencia recomendable para los amantes de la naturaleza. Las rutas que se nos ofrecen en el entorno del Camí de Cavalls, así como por otras zonas rurales, nos brindan la posibilidad de conocer la isla desde una nueva perspectiva, descubriendo la riqueza natural y cultural que nos rodea. Resulta obvio, por estos motivos, que Menorca es un destino atractivo para el turismo ecuestre: déjate llevar por la cultura del caballo que impregna todos y cada uno de los rincones de la isla. around the Camí de Cavalls, and through other country areas give us the chance to get a glimpse of the Island from a different perspective, discovering the natural and cultural richness that surrounds us. All this makes Menorca a very attractive destination for equestrian tourism: take the chance to relish in the horse culture that fills every corner of the Island. 4 5 RESERVA DE LA BIOSFERA El mayor atractivo de la isla de Menorca es su entorno natural. La más oriental de las Baleares cuenta con un patrimonio natural, histórico y paisajístico amplio. Espacios naturales como la reserva marina, cinco reservas naturales y 19 Áreas Naturales de Especial Interés (ANEI) la hicieron merecedora en el año 1993 de la calificación de reserva de la biosfera otorgada por la UNESCO. Menorca ha superado la dificultad que supone ser al mismo tiempo una isla turística y reserva de la biosfera, ya que ha conseguido que el desarrollo socioeconómico y la conservación del medio natural sean compatibles. Dicha responsabilidad y dicho compromiso recaen en las administraciones, la ciudadanía y los visitantes. A través de la creación de un producto especializado en la naturaleza, se contribuye a favorecer el equilibrio entre el desarrollo turístico y la conservación natural, ya que nos estamos refiriendo a actividades respetuosas PATRIMONIO NATURAL con el medio ambiente.

E-mail: lazaroo@unam.mx Horses with lameness modify gait behavior, but when it is subtle, it may not be possible to identify it clinically. The objective of this research is to characterize the normal gait phases of walking Warmblood horses by combining photogrammetry and accelerometry to monitor lameness to indicate a structural or functional disorder in the extremities. The study was conducted in 23 adult male Warmblood horses. Photogrammetry was used to identify the kinematic variables of the limbs and the markers path over time; triaxial accelerometers were used to capture the orthogonal acceleration components. It was determined that only 10 horses showed a normal gait pattern, there was a 43% correspondence between the expert´s judgment and the diagnostic techniques. According to the Stashak classification of the gait phases, cycle phases to forelimb were 34/4/8/13/41, while for hind limb were 54/11/8/8/19 (% of the stride).

  • Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business by Robert C
    Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business By Robert C. Church It is unrealistic to consider profit as an incentive for owning horses on a limited, part-time basis. Liability insurance makes it almost prohibitive for even full-time stables with professional help to operate. An element of risk for a horse-oriented busi- ness has never been established; therefore, the insurance rate is arbitrarily set. Volume of business and services such as indoor riding arenas, instruction and training, and professional supervision offered to their clientele keep the full-time stables profitable. Most rental stables cater to the novice rider who has had no formal instruction and thus is a considerable risk on a horse. A person who keeps horses for public hire must become familiar with the habits, disposition and traits of the horses. An owner who knows a particular horse is apt to be vicious may be held liable for injuries caused by that animal. The rental horse business is fraught with risk and should be entered into only after considering suitability of the horses involved, insurance costs, availability and safety of trails, and the expertise of those who will supervise riding. Some people use personal mounts for riding instruction.- In most cases a homeowner's policy will cover liability if this enterprise falls within the confines of a casual and not a full- time enterprise. However, many recently written policies do not include this type coverage. If you have the required skills, training horses on limited acreage as a part-time occupation can provide supplemental income.

  • 4/1 Can You Have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse?
    Eclectic Horseman Issue #79 Sept/Oct- 4/1 Can you have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse? Over the course of the last ten to fifteen years I have had the amazing good fortune to get to know and study with one our current Master Horsemen, Ms. Bettina Drummond. As a student of Nuno Oliveria, a scholar in the subject of Classical Dressage, and a perpetual seeker of a deep relationship with her horses, Bettina’s knowledge is unequalled. In 2012 she came out West with her Quarterhorse stallion to acquaint him with his “Western” heritage and to further her study of the comparisons between Classical Dressage and true Vaquero traditions and training. I had a marvelous time riding the mountains of eastern Oregon, playing with cows, and having long discussions with Bettina in comparing our western horsemanship jobs and relationships with our horses with her background in true Classical Dressage. One of my over-arching goals was to seek an answer to the question of whether or not I could bring along my horses to accomplish the jobs necessary on the ranch, but still adhere to the principles of the Classical Dressage training scale. (i.e. Note these aspects vary slightly in order and have different interpretations given differences in languages: Rhythm, Suppleness/Relaxation, Contact, Straightness, Engagement/Impulsion, and Collection) See articles regarding use of the Training Scale at: www.tnthorsemanship.com/articles Now I am by no means a scholar regarding the bio-mechanics required of the horse/human team to accomplish any job on the ranch or on the dressage court.

Gaited horses have been around for many years, but how did they end up in the American Saddlebred? This series of articles will take you from the dawn of the gaited horse through to the modern day Saddlebred, look at the genetics behind the ambling gait and give you some pointers as to the physique of the gaited horse. What is a gaited horse anyway? Every pace of the horse, be it walk, trot or canter, is called a “gait”. For the gaited enthusiast, any horse can do these gaits, what they are interested in is the smooth non-jarring English palfrey, cc 1795 – 1865. lateral gait (the legs on one side moving together).

It is the specific pattern of footfall and the cadence that defines the gait in each of the gaited breeds. A quiet horse may well have a better gait than his flashy fast-moving counterpart, so look beyond the hype and see exactly what those feet and hindquarters are doing. This smooth-moving gait has been depicted in cave walls and fossilised in footprints dating to over 3½ million years ago – so just how did it get from there Lady Conaway's Spanish Jennet to the American Saddlebred? We know that horses (http://www.spanishjennet.org/registry.shtml) are not native to America, so to answer that question we must travel back in time and place to Europe and Asia.
