They need to practitioners. Let’s start by righting some misconceptions about sugar and horses. When horses are out in the wild, they eat grass and with the grass, they ingest high amounts of sugar. The horse therefore gains quite a large part of its energy from sugars. However, the typical sports horse does not get access too much fresh grass, so they need to be provided by other sources of carbohydrates. Not all sugars are equal, and if we can provide the horse with enough fibrous-associated sugars, such as good quality hay, or a feed containing structural carbohydrates, that is the best. The more we use refined sugars, like those found in cereals or molasses, the more we are moving away from the horse’s natural sources of sugars. Shifting the microbiota Refined structural sugars are digested differently by the community of bacteria inhabiting the horse’s gut - otherwise known as the ‘microbiota’. The more the diet is differs from a natural diet, the more the profile of the microbiota 24 The role of the feed companies The feed manufacturers need to help the owners understand what is in their horse’s way we do, or a cow does.

  • Matthias Alexander Rath: the Setting Can't Be Big Enough for Totilas
    Matthias Alexander Rath: The setting can't be big enough for Totilas The currently most famous equestrian sport pair missed the last Championships. Just in time for the FEI European Championships Aachen 2015 from August 11th-23rd, Matthias Alexander Rath and Totilas are in top form. The 30-year-old dressage rider revealed in an interview what competing in Aachen has to do with superstition, what he is expecting to happen in the duel between the top stars Totilas and Valegro and why competing in the Main Stadium could be an advantage for him. One month before the FEI European Championships dressage competitions in Aachen… Matthias Alexander Rath: …the anticipation is indescribable. On the one hand, it is super that Totilas and I are actually being able to compete at the European Championships, because we haven't taken part in any Championships over the past few years. Of course, a European Championships in one's own country is always special, but the fact that it is also being staged in Aachen is simply fantastic. Especially since Totilas has won every Grand Prix that he has competed in so far in Aachen – it couldn't be a better omen for the coming August! The dressage riders will be competing in the Main Stadium, does that provide additional motivation? Rath: In 2006, I experienced the World Championships dressage competitions in the Main Stadium as a spectator – it was tremendous. Being able to ride at the CHIO in the Deutsche Bank Stadium is already an exceptional experience, there is no comparable arena anywhere else in the world for us.

  • Totilasvalegrocompare.Pdf
    In the last five years two horses have totally dominated the international scene, Totilas and Valegro, between them they have redefined excellence and of course assured themselves of a big role in the future genetics of the discipline! Totilas was brought to us by one of the most well- established professionals of the era, Edward Gal, while Valegro was the wings on which a new Dressage star Charlotte Dujardin was launched under the guidance of that other master professional Carl Hester. Totilas hit the International scene in June 2009 and hit his pinnacle at the WEG in Lexington, KY on October 1st 2010. Then Edward lost the ride and Totilas has not competed for almost two years. Six months later in March 2011 Charlotte and Valegro hit the ground running and by April 2012 they were performing at and above the same level as Edward and Totilas had. Since then Valegro has taken almost every honor possible. So, these couples never met in a dressage arena, but for fun we could study the numbers and imagine how things might have been if they had of done! The last (non-Freestyle) score for Edward and Totilas was 85.7 in the Special at Lexington while the last Grand Prix score for Charlotte and Valegro at Amsterdam was 85.8! Amazingly, tantalizingly close. Both the couples have been to 2 major championships (and of course won everything at each one), Totilas at Windsor (EC) and Lexington(WEG) and Valegro at London(OG) and Herning(EC), so from the figure scores at each of those events we can make a virtual competition to compare their relative strengths! Of course, it is just fun, these were two years or more apart, the judges were not the same at each event, the use of 7 judges and half-points was not yet in place for Totilas.

  • Competition and the Horse-Rider Relationship in Elite Equestrian Sports
    animals Article Symbiosis or Sporting Tool? Competition and the Horse-Rider Relationship in Elite Equestrian Sports Rachel C. Hogg * and Gene A. Hodgins School of Psychology, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, NSW 2678, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Forming relationships with horses is commonly understood as an important part of amateur and elite equestrian sports. Horse-human relationships have historically been romanticized and the success of sporting horse-human combinations has been attributed to a close relationship between horse and rider. Elite equestrian sports differ from amateur equestrian sports, especially where an elite rider earns their primary income from riding and competing horses, and third-party sponsors and owners are financially invested in a horse-rider combination. In this study, 36 elite equestrian athletes were interviewed about their interspecies relationships. Results indicated that a strong horse-rider relationship could, in some instances, inhibit a rider’s ability to compete successfully and engage in a commercialized sporting context, due to tensions between an instrumental approach to animals and meaningful horse-rider interaction. Results also suggested that horse-rider relationships may be peripheral to performance outcomes, or conversely, essential to performance success. The relationship between sporting outcomes and the horse-rider relationship in an elite setting is clearly complex and multifaceted. An increase in transient, instrumental horse-rider relationships may be resulting in a shift towards a commercial, detached model of relating to horses, raising ethical questions around the professionalization of equestrianism and the management of Citation: Hogg, R.C.; Hodgins, G.A. competition horses.

Our goal is to produce dressage horses for sport and breeding that are on par with the best in the world. We were one of the first Platinum-level breeders of KWPN dressage horses in North America. All of our original breeding stock was imported from the Netherlands, and we maintain a small program of breeding horses in Nuis, Holland, as well. I have been traveling to the Netherlands regularly since the late 1990s, usually making two to four trips each year. We are primarily a breeding We are excited to announce that Hello! operation.

  • Stolzenberg Totilas
    STOLZENBERG Born 1999 Dark Bay 169cm Hanoverian At his stallion performance test Stolzenberg came second overall, clearly winning the jumping index (141.88), and gaining good scores for rideability. This stallion was a jumping machine! He has proven himself now as a sire. His son Shaitaan OSF won the Vice Championship title at the Bundeschampionships for five-year-old show jumping horses in a final that went down to the wire! Under Lutz Wimmer the duo accomplished a fantastic season with various victories in elementary and medium level. A daughter was the winner at the Mare Show at Dobrock. State premium candidate Silence presented captivating performances and became best show jumping mare of the show. 54 offspring are registered competition horses. It seems that Stoltzenberg follows in his sire’s footsteps in regards to passing on the qualities of technique, scope, movement and attitude to work to his offspring. Meanwhile all experts talk about Stoltzenberg and his latest breed value estimation which confirms that it is justified that he counts among the 1% best jumper sires in Germany. He has 11 licensed stallions, 20 state premium mares, and 70 auction horses.
