  • High Horses Horses, Class and Socio-Economic Change in South Africa1
    Chapter 7 ❈ High Horses Horses, Class and Socio-economic Change in South Africa1 ‘Things are in the Saddle and ride mankind.’ 2 n the first half of the twentieth century there was a seismic shift in the Irelationship between horses and humans in commercial South Africa as ‘horsepower’ stopped implying equine military-agricultural potential and came to mean 746 watts of power.3 By the 1940s the South African horse industry faced a crisis. There was an over-production of horses, exacerbated by restrictions imposed by the Second World War, which rendered export to international markets difficult.4 Farm mechanisation was proceeding apace and vehicle numbers were doubling every decade.5 As the previous chapter has shown, there were doomed attempts to slow the relentless mechanisation of state transport. As late as 1949 the Horse and Mule Breeders Association issued a desperate appeal to the minister of railways and transport to stall mechanisation and use animal transport wherever possible.6 Futile efforts were made to reorientate the industry towards slaughtering horses for ‘native consumption’ or sending chilled equine meat to Belgium.7 Remount Services had been transferred to the Department of Agriculture, a significant bureaucratic step reflecting the final acknowledgement of equine superfluity to the modern military. As the previous chapter discussed, the so-called ‘Cinderella of the livestock industry’ had to reinvent itself to survive.8 A new breed of horses thus entered the landscape of the platteland: the American Saddlebred.9 Unlike the horses that had preceded them, these creatures were show horses. The breed was noted for its showy action in all Riding High 07.indd 171 2010/05/31 12:04 PM Riding High paces, its swanlike neck with ‘aristocratic arch’ and its uplifted tail.

  • Comparison of Conformation Trait Scores of Dams and Daughters in Latvian Warmblood Horse Breed
    AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES (CROP SCIENCES, ANIMAL SCIENCES) COMPARISON OF CONFORMATION TRAIT SCORES OF DAMS AND DAUGHTERS IN LATVIAN WARMBLOOD HORSE BREED Laine Orbidane, Daina Jonkus Latvia University of Agriculture [email protected] Abstract The objective of the study was to detect the difference of the conformation scores between dams and daughters in Latvian Warmblood horse breed. For this purpose the correlations and regression coefficient between conformation traits of broodmares and the same traits of their daughters were estimated. Data of Latvian Warmblood horse breed broodmares were analyzed. The horse breeding organisations’ evaluating data from 1995 till 2015 were analyzed. The data included conformation valuation of Latvian Warmblood horse breed dams (n = 423) and their daughters (n = 596) of different ages. An average in ten-point scale in the group of dams was 7.71 ± 0.04 for top line scoring, 7.33 ± 0.05 for forelimbs and 7.35 ± 0.05 points for hind limbs. An average of valuation points of their daughters was 7.51 ± 0.03 for top line scoring, 7.21 ± 0.04 for forelimbs and 7.21 ± 0.04 for hind limbs. A significant difference between valuations of dams and their daughters (p<0.05) was found for all three conformation traits. Positive and low correlation was calculated between groups of dams and daughters for all three conformation traits. The results show that the relationship between conformation traits of dams and daughters was weak. Further studies are needed in order to estimate influence of broodmare quality to daughters, analyzing the latest data of progeny. Key words: Latvian Warmblood, broodmares, dams, daughters, conformation traits.

  • History of Horses.Pdf
    Horses - A History * History comes from researching bloodlines, Shire of Cote du Ciel; Lady Isabel Cordera * not necessarily from historical accounts. Origins: The horse is one of the oldest domesticated animals of ancient times. We begin our look at the horse not from the beginning of time, but from the time right before domestication took place. If you are curious about the origins of the horse, you can do a literary search of these early horse species from the scientific group Condylarth: Eohippus, Mesohippus, Miohippus, Pliohippus, and Equus Caballus. Special Mention: It is worth knowing that Equus Caballas did exist on the American continent in the Ice Age, but migrated to Europe and Asia from existing land bridges from glaciers. These glaciers melted, trapping the predecessor of the horse in the European and Asian continents, and the Equus Caballas remaining on the American Continent, went extinct. From Equus Caballas, we come across two types of breeding: Natural Selection: ‘Survival of the fittest’ - environment dictated survival. Viability of animal genes depended on environment. These animals are built to survive. Artificial Selection: Survival based on human intervention - humans decided which traits to breed for, and did not allow breeding between ‘less superior’ animals. These animals are bred to work. Our modern horses come almost exclusively from artificially selected means. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Equus Caballas, 3 ancient horse breeds developed, which became the foundation of breeding stock for ages to come: 1) The Asiatic Wild Horse These horses were discovered in 1881 by Poliakov as a wild Mongolian horse herd. These horses survived millions of years of natural selection and are ‘pure’ representations of history.
