It also protects the internal organs from external influences and mechanical forces. For this reason, care must be taken to maintain a skin in order to prevent bacteria, viruses and parasites from entering.

Nicole Beusker, a prominent veterinary doctor, expressed the following in this regard: “Ideally, you should wear disposable gloves, or at least wash your hands before treating the wound.” The solutions and compresses of iodine, are appropriate to sanitize with great care the wounds of the equine skin. Another tip that Beusker gives us is the following: “It is recommended that the hairs along the edges of the wound are carefully trimmed or shaved to prevent sticking” It should be taken into account that if you finish disinfecting the wound, you should dried with a clean towel before applying a specific cream that serves as a barrier against germs and bacteria.

The animal kingdom amazes us every day by its unique characteristics of each species. In the great diversity of the Animal Kingdom we can get very intelligent animals to the point that they leave us amazed. Today we will analyze the intelligence of one of our favorite animals the horse. How does equine intelligence manifest? Stay with us and you’ll find out One of the mammals that amaze us with their great intelligence are horses, but these are not the only ones. In this sense we can mention elephants, dogs, dolphins, among others. Without a doubt, these wonderful animals of God’s creation leave us speechless before his great intelligence. The intelligence of horses, or as it is also often called equine intelligence, is to be admired. These wonderful animals have accompanied humans since ancient times providing their company and support as a means of transportation. Throughout this article we will emphasize animal intelligence specifically in equine intelligence. Lukas - The World's Smartest Horse - 2009 Update Part 3 of 5Watch this video on YouTube Intelligence in animals To carry out intelligence measurement in animals, scientists use certain parameters. These quantifications help to measure the intelligence of an animal. These include things like:Learning and problem solving The ability to communicate and self-awareness. The most notorious method that scientists use to measure intelligence is called the mirror self-recognition test (MSR).Since the 1970s the mirror test has been used  to help determine animal intelligence. The Mirror Self-Recognition Test (MSR). Mirror recognition test on horses To set the parameters of equine intelligence, researchers performed the mirror recognition test. We will proceed to explain the way in which the test is performed and the results obtained. It should be noted that this method has been used by researchers in animals such as chimpanzees, killer whales and elephants. These animals have successfully passed the mirror test. The process for applying the mirror recognition test is as follows: It is carried out by placing an animal in front of a mirror. If the animal recognizes its reflection, it is considered to have passed the test. This is the model animal intelligence test. The smartest animals on the planet have overcome it. Curiously, the recognition test in the mirror was not passed by the horses. However this animal has its ways of showing its great intelligence. We must narrow that one of the horses managed to perform certain gestures in front of the mirror, but without reaching the necessary heights to be considered successful. For this a group of scientists did the experiment with four horses, these researchers continue to delve into Equine Intelligence. Equine Intelligence Equine intelligence and its interesting aspects:   Horses are excellent communicators and a great memory. This find was discovered in Japan. There it was discovered that horses will communicate problems to their humans. In the study, they placed a carrot in a bucket in front of the horse. After this they placed the cube where only the research assistant could access. To achieve the carrot objective, the horse used a mix of visual and tactile communication methods to tell the person that he would like them to get the carrot for them. No doubt spending time with your horse is rewarding. For this reason Gustavo Mirabal Castro loves to share with you horses. Well, with these animals he has managed to establish a very special bond. Horses have a prodigious memory: In another study in Japan they found that equines have a prodigious memory which is an excellent attribute for enhancing intelligence. The study was called “memory and communication in horses” The researchers presented horses with 42-inch touchscreen televisions. In the process they taught the horses a variety of shapes and their meanings. They stimulated some shapes by showing the horses that they would receive a tasty treat when the shape was presented. Then they tested the horses to see if they could recognize the shapes. In this way these animals managed to manifest their needs. They also managed to remember what shapes allowed them to have candies. The researchers observed that the horses learned fast. They also easily differentiated between shapes and used touch screens to get their rewards. Without a doubt, the positive reinforcement of this experiment in horses showed signs of great equine intelligence.Another aspect of Equine Intelligence Horses can plan ahead for your needs. This is about a study carried out in 2016. The “Blanket / No Blanket” Study: Researchers in Norway taught 23 horses a variety of symbols so they could communicate whether they wanted a blanket or didn’t want it. These scientists discovered that horses could not only communicate their blanket needs, but also opted for blankets on colder days and chose not to have blankets on warmer days. These are just a few of the ways that researchers have explored the depths of horse intelligence. Much more research is currently being done as we begin to learn how smart horses are. The “Blanket / No Blanket” Study Emotional intelligence in horses Another form of Equine Intelligence is precisely Emotional Intelligence. Well, these horse animals can observe emotional signs of our facial expressions. On the other hand, they not only recognize our emotions, but they have a high level of empathy and deeply absorb those feelings. Even because of its high level of emotional intelligence and empathy the horse is used to give horse-assisted therapy. It is often used with people with autism spectrum disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder Due to the emotional intelligence of equines, horse owners feel great comfort next to these animals. So intelligence in horses goes beyond cognitive, planning, communication, and memory skills. Perhaps God endowed them with wonderful emotional intelligence to help humans.   Equine intelligence accompanies human beings As we already know, horses have been present in human life. One of the great benefits that this animal has given man is as a means of transportation. In this way the men managed to move across long distances. The uses of horses have been as a means of transportation, in the military field, as dancing horses. In recent years it has been used as a co-therapist to help people with various conditions and / or illnesses. Even as a painter horse, we can finally see any number of roles that horses play. This is only a part that demonstrates Equine Intelligence. So, reader friend, if you have a horse, you have a treasure. Get to know him more and you will be surprised how intelligent and noble these beautiful animals are.

Throughout this article we will delve into the trajectory of the interesting horse painter: Théodore Géricault Theodore Gericault: A collection of 92 paintings (HD)Watch this video on YouTube Life of Théodore Géricault: a horse painter His full name was Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault. This great artist of painting was known as Théodore Géricault. This man was born in a French village called Rouen on 26 September 1791 and died in Paris on 26 January 1824. At the time of his death, this painter was 33 years old, a young man with great talent. He was a brilliant French painter who devoted himself in body and soul to making beautiful portraits of horses. Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault was the son of lawyer Jorge Nicolás Géricault and Luisa Juana María Caruel. This clever young man named Théodore followed his second education at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand in the French capital. By 1808, he had already made the decision to devote himself entirely to painting. He then entered carle Vernet’s studio as a student possibly attracted to the painter’s horse paintings. Theodore Gericault: A horse painter Career of painter Théodore GéricaultCourse studies with the academic painter Gilles Guérin. Resisted and disagreed with the prevailing neoclassicism. He studied Rubens and began painting directly from the model, meaning he made the preparatory drawings. During the years 1816-1818 he devoted himself to studying Michelangelo and the Baroque. He admired Bonington and Constable and was in England in 1820-1822, exhibiting his Raft and his horse paintings. His career was very short, however he was very prestigious. He was mainly noted for his modern themes, his free execution and the representation of the Romantic movement.Horse-free race Théodore Géricault and his great admiration for horses So much was his admiration and respect for horses that he was inspired by them to make magnificent equestrian paintings. The third of its pillars, if we mean thematic, were the horses. Undoubtedly these beautiful animals have been the source of inspiration for great artists throughout history. As a lover of horses and equestrian, he originally portrayed the equine expression. These works modeled them under the premises of passion, and energy in the same way under originality and nobility. This artist took into account the qualities present in horses. Unfortunately this artist, who admired equines so much, died of the fall of a horse in 1824 at the young age of thirty-three. Horses running with their riders Featured works on horses: Among the most prominent works of Théodore Géricault’s artistic career are the following:Hussar on horseback Wounded Coracero Free horse race Derby in Empson (1821): the latter is the result of one of his trips to England where he attended a multitude of races and equestrian encounters.As we can see the artist Théodore Géricault enjoyed to the fullest the events of the equestrian world. He certainly loved horses and activities where this animal participated. Officer of the Hussars carrying on horseback Théodore Géricault and his active life in paintingBy 1810, he was enrolled among the students of Pedro Guérni, neoclassical painter. His first major work, “Officer of Hunters on Charge”, shown at the Paris Salon of 1812, revealed the influence of Rubens’ style. In turn he showed an interest in the representation of a contemporary argument. Over the next few years Théodore Géricault conducted a series of small studies of horses and knights. Exhibited the “Wounded Coracero” in the Salon of 1814, a more sophisticated work In the course of two years he went through a self-imposed study of the construction and composition of figures.The Indomitable Last days of the horse painter: Théodore Géricault Uncomfortable with a painful illness, Géricault spent his last years unable to start making large-format paintings. In this sense, he made different lithographs with the valuable help of the craftsman Eugenie Lami. The painter Géricault, despite his short life, made amazing works especially of horses.  That is why he is listed as a horse lover, because throughout his artistic career he made several works of these imposing and elegant animals. Without a doubt Théodore Géricault was an excellent horse painter.   A powerful bond: love for horses. Théodore Géricault left a legacy when it comes to equestrian art. For horse lovers to see an equestrian work by this artist is ineffable. In the case of the Venezuelan Gustavo Mirabal Castro admires everything to do with equestrian art.

The coronavirus pandemic practically paralyzed the entire planet so far this year. Therefore, all activities were affected. Horse racing is among the activities affected by coronavirus in Spain. Only essential activities such as the health, safety, and food sectors, among others, were the ones that have remained active. For this reason, the equestrian world was greatly affected by this interruption of activities. It should be noted that Spain has been one of the countries in Europe most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Since the beginning of the health crisis, 27,127 people have died in Spain and 239,932 confirmed cases. The good news is that starting the month of June a light is already seen at the end of the tunnel. Well, the number of deaths reached 0. This is hopeful, however people must maintain the same precaution as they have been doing until now. The equestrian industry has been affected worldwide as horses, like riders, have been quarantined. Right now is when horse racing in Spain gradually starts to activate. Zarzuela horse racing stadium - Ep #18 (English)Watch this video on YouTube Competitive sport returns – Horse racing in Spain The equestrian sport is reactivated in Spain after the time that the alarm state due to the coronavirus has lasted. That is why horse racing in Spain returns this June. Unfortunately, there are many blows received by the pandemic in this country. Although good news is that horse racing in Spain reinvents itself and returns to the ring. In its own way, it seeks to activate equestrian competitions, it should be noted that Spain is a country with a rich equestrian culture. Little by little the activities related to the horses get up. “La Zarzuela” Racecourse lived a very hard time after being closed for almost a decade for reasons of inefficient management. In 2015 “La Zarzuela” remained nine months without horse racing and currently they have been without activity for more than three months. As we can see the horse riding has been hit on several occasions. This activity employs more than 2000 people so it was going through a difficult time. However, horse racing in Spain will be the first sport to get going after the state of alarm. However, activities should be carried out with extreme caution to avoid new infections. Horse racing in Spain after Coronavirus From June 3 horse racing in Spain is activated On June 3 at Lasarte Racecourse and on Sunday 14 in Madrid, the thoroughbreds will gallop again. In this way horse racing in Spain is activated. In the same way it has happened in other countries of Europe like England that carried out the races of Windsor without public. Another country where equestrian activities are activated is France. These countries have trajectories of more than a century when it comes to equestrian competitions. The Lasarte and La Zarzuela racecourses, horse races will take place in these spaces. For the purposes of these important equestrian competitions they will be held without an audience, with strict security measures and with masked jockeys. The return of equestrian activity is of utmost importance since there are many jobs that are at risk. With the preventive measures it is feasible that they can be kept that way for the rest of the year. The horse race lasts only one and a half minutes. However, the training time is several hours. Horses are animals that must be constantly trained for their best performance. That is why the horses do not understand that of being in their stable and need activity and the professionals have not missed the appointment. La Zarzuela Racecourse A horse: A work team When we watch a horse race we only notice the horse and rider. But the reality is that a team intervenes so that this magical duo can achieve success. There is a saying that expresses the following: “Behind every racehorse there are four jobs” It is much more than four jobs since a multidisciplinary team is formed consisting of: instructors, assistants, transporters, waiters, jockeys, veterinary doctors, among others … This can be seen in the teams that make life in the blocks of La Zarzuela. Regarding the situation of the coronavirus, the situation has not been easy. Therefore Álavaro Soto expressed the following:   “We had no goals and we came to work, but “for what?”. Everything comes out and I am optimistic and here we are. For Spain it has been very pure and we must row. We have to forget so much nonsense from the right or the left. We want the races and the Spanish the good of the country “.   These teams remain optimistic to continue the equestrian tradition of Spain. For this reason, an effort must be made to continue working with the established prevention measures. Horse racing, it’s a team effort   It is back… The Horse Racing in Spain Horse racing in Spain has been activated in this new month. For this they will carry out the events without public and with all the security measures. It should be noted that equestrian culture in Spain has great relevance and this was one of the aspects that Gustavo Mirabal caught the attention of this country.
