Finnish Narratives of the Horse in World War II 123 Finnish Narratives of the Horse in World War II 123 FINNISH NARRATIVES OF THE HORSE IN WORLD WAR II Riitta-Marja Leinonen Introduction There were millions of horses involved in World War II, most of them in supply and transport service or in the field artillery. The time of cavalries was passing and only Germany and the Soviet Union had large cavalry forces.1 Finland had only one cavalry brigade in World War II and it was incorporated into the infantry in battle situations.2 Nevertheless, the role of the horse was crucial for Finland, especially in the Winter War3 when most army transportation was conducted using horses. Horses were ideal for transportation use in the roadless terrain of the boreal forests in the borderlands of Finland and the Soviet Union. The World War II means three wars to Finns: the Winter War (November 1939 to March 1940), the Continuation War (June 1941 to September 1944) and the Lapland War (September 1944 to April 1945). The underlying cause of the Winter War was Soviet concern about Nazi Germanyʼs expansionism. The secret protocol of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939 gave the Soviet Union influence over Finland, the Baltic states, and parts of Eastern Europe. The Winter War started when Soviet troops invaded Finland, and it ended 105 days later in the Moscow treaty where Finland lost 11% of its surface area and its second largest city, Viipuri. The Interim peace lasted for fifteen months. During that time Finland was trying to find an ally and finally made an agreement with Germany hoping to get the lost land areas back. The Continuation War started as Germany invaded the Soviet Union from Finland and lasted for more than three years. It ended 1 Louis A.

Although Finland had been defeated, it had managed to avoid occupation by the Soviets.4 The Lapland War broke out between Finland and Germany before the peace treaty between Finland and the Soviet Union was signed. Finnish troops drove the German army out of Lapland but the German troops destroyed more than one-third of the dwellings in Northern Finland.5 The Finnish army used mostly Finnhorses,6 the modest and hardy native draft horses, which were acquired from the civilian population. Narratives of these horses have been told by the witnesses of the war to their children and grandchildren.7 My research material derives mostly from a collection of narratives called Hevoset sodassa 1939–1944 (Horses at War 1939–1944) from the Folklore Archives of the Finnish Literature Society,8 and I have also used a collection of war horse narratives gathered and edited by the writer Ulla-Maija Aaltonen in her book Kiitos Suomen hevoselle (Thanks to the Finnish Horse).9 The personal narratives and memories of the Folklore Archives were collected in 1975 by organizing a campaign,10 which was announced in Finnish newspapers and on the radio.11 People were asked to write about their experiences of horses during the World War II: signing horses over to the army, tasks done with horses, taking care of horses, the injuries and deaths of horses, getting saved by a horse, the behavior of horses, and horses returning from the war. The archive received narratives from thirty-seven women and 129 men and the interviews of six men. 4 “The Continuation War,” in Finland: A Country Study, eds.

    Riikka-Liisa Räbinä BENCHMARKING FINNISH AND IRISH EQUESTRIAN TOURISM Thesis Kajaani University of Applied Sciences School of Tourism Tourism Spring 2010 THESIS ABSTRACT School Degree Programme School of Tourism Tourism Author(s) Riikka-Liisa Räbinä Title Benchmarking Finnish and Irish Equestrian Tourism Optionalvaihtoehtiset Professional Studies Supervisor(s) Anneli Karppinen Commissioned by Date Total Number of Pages and Appendices Spring 2010 47 The purpose of this thesis was to benchmark Finnish and Irish equestrian tourism. One of the goals was also to examine the current status of equestrian tourism in Finland, as well as the use of the Finn- horse in equestrian tourism services. Improvement suggestions were created based on research about Irish equestrian tourism as well as the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse. There was no commissioner for the thesis. The topic arose from personal interest in equestrian tourism and the growing importance of the Finnhorse as part of the industry. The first part of the thesis comprises the theoretical background. It includes different aspects of eques- trian tourism in Finland and in Ireland. The current status of equestrian tourism in Finland and the safety guidelines created by the Finnish Consumer Agency are discussed in detail. The history, current status, and different usages of the Finnhorse are discussed. Also the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse as Irish horse breeds are elaborated. The second part is the empirical part. It gives suggestions for improving equestrian tourism in Finland and increasing the use of the Finnhorse in tourism related services. The suggestions are based on strat- egies and actions implemented by different organizations in Ireland.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Horse and Buggy Driver's Manual
    Horse and Buggy Driver’s Manual PUB 632 (4-19) www.penndot.gov Foreword Now more than ever, we, as horse and buggy drivers, need to be careful and observe the basic rules of safety when traveling on today’s busy roads. There is more traffic going much faster than ever before and we must do what we can to assure our own safety as well as that of motorists with whom we must share the road. We’ve created a horse and buggy driver safety manual to assist in this effort. Proper operation of your horse and buggy on these busy roads can greatly reduce crashes. The manual is intended for horse and buggy drivers operating on public roadways. However, this manual can also be useful for motor vehicle drivers, especially out-of-town visitors and tourists, not familiar with encountering horse and buggies traveling on the road. We hope that you will find this information useful and will do your part to make our roadways safe.

  • The Finno-Soviet Conflict of 1939-1945 in November 1939 a War Broke out Between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Finl
    the Finno-Soviet conflict of 1939-1945 In November 1939 a war broke out between the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Finland. The causes of the conflict lay primarily in the world political situation. Germany had already began a war of conquest by invading Poland September first of the same year. Soviet Union sought to protect its borders in view of surging fascist ideas and Germany’s intents to expand. The Soviet Union had primarily wanted to solve the dispute diplomatically before the outbreak of the war. To safeguard itself, the USSR had two aims: First, to move the Finno-Russian border further away from Leningrad, giving Finland a twofold area of land further north along the border in return. Second, to stop any outside force from attacking the Soviet Union through Finnish territories. The Soviets also wanted some certain strategically important areas, including a few islands in the Gulf of Finland in order to prevent a landing to Finland or the Baltics. The suggestions put forward by the Soviet Union were discussed between the states. The Soviet Union was interested in a mutual defense treaty with Finland. The Soviets and Finland would repel an attacker together should they tread on Finland. Representatives from both countries met over half a dozen times, but in the end the offer was refused. The reasons were numerous; the leaders of the state harbored an aggressive “Greater Finnish” ideology that they had fermented within the populace all throughout 1920’s and 30’s. The idea of Greater Finland was based on the goal of incorporating northwestern parts of the Soviet Union into Finland.

  • Mules and Hinnies Factsheet
    FACTSHEET: OWNERS MULES AND HINNIES Mules and hinnies are similar. They are both a cross between a horse and a donkey, with unique characteristics that make them special. Because they are so similar, the terms ‘mule’ and ‘hinny’ are used interchangeably, with hinnies often being referred to as mules. KEY FACTS ABOUT MULES AND HINNIES: Mule: The result of a donkey stallion mating with a female horse. Mules tend to have the head of a donkey and extremities of a horse. Hinny: The result of a horse stallion mating with a female donkey. Hinnies are less common than mules and there might be subtle differences in appearance. Size: Varies greatly depending on the stallion and mare. Ranging from 91-172 cm. Health: Hardy and tough. They often have good immune systems. Strength: Extremely strong. They pull heavy loads and carry much heavier weights than donkeys or horses of a similar size. Behaviour: Intelligent and sensitive. They can have unpredictable reactions. Appearance: Ears smaller than a donkey’s, the same shape as a horse’s. The mane and tail of a hinny is usually similar to a horse. Vocalisation: A mixture of a donkey’s ‘bray’ and a horse’s ‘whinny’. Sex: Male is a ‘horse mule’ (also known as a ‘john’ or ‘jack’). Female is a ‘mare mule’ (also known as a ‘molly’). Young: A ‘colt’ (male) or ‘filly’ (female). What is hybrid vigour? Hybrid = a crossbreed Vigour = hardiness or resilience • ‘Interbreeding’ (crossbreeding) can remove weaker characteristics and instead pass on desirable inherited traits. This is ‘hybrid vigour’, a term often associated with mules and hinnies.
