The Mare Winx and her routine

• To remain excellent, as she has done so far, the mare Winx gets up early to begin her training work day by day.
• Regarding the training routine, it does not differ from many other specimens. However, it has an element that sets it apart from the rest and is the love and admiration of many people. So a lot of these fans are going to observe her in her daily tasks.

The mare Winx today

The roots of the mare Winx are the polar opposite of what it is today. Since in principle this mare was sold in an auction for an amount that is not representative in the equestrian world.

Despite having been sold for a low price, today accumulates profits greater than 20 million euros. At an economic level, it has paid off to its current owners. Undoubtedly, proof that not everything “cheap is expensive”.

But beyond that, the reward is the triumphs that this beautiful mare has managed to achieve.

The owners of the Mare Winx decided to call it one of the old casinos in Las Vegas. What these people did not anticipate was the scope they would have in the equestrian competitions and with the fame they achieved.

The mare Winx team

One of the people who are part of the direct team with the mare Winx is his trainer and rider. The first is his trainer Chris Waller with whom he has had a hard work and whose results are visible.

As for the rider Hugh Bowman, he has ridden it in 27 of the last 28 races.

«When I get on top of the Mare Winx I have a feeling of power and control» Hugh Bowman

Undoubtedly, this is a magical and successful couple who have managed to attract the attention of millions of fans of the equestrian world.

Hugh Bowman managed to establish a perfect reciprocity with the most famous mare in Australia. The result has been the victory of both in the equestrian competitions and a historical milestone at the same time

“It is very special because it is not easy for a horse to maintain this level for so long, much more than any other. She has managed to attract the attention of the whole racing world » Hugh Bowman

New challenges to be achieved by the mare Winx

The successes that the Mare Winx have achieved have been in their native country of Australia. Despite this, his name is already in the first place in the Longines ranking. Nowadays the mare is seven years old and it is hoped that she will continue with the same strength and impetus in the next competitions

One of the outstanding points that the mare Winx has is to go to the northern hemisphere in the future. Likewise, the idea of competing against the best in England, France or the United States is one of the expectations of both his team and his fans.

The expectation that the mare compete in other scenarios is also on the part of the media. Mass media have put pressure on Winx to measure herself in other, more demanding scenarios.

The media have criticized the good run of this animal, arguing that only has such a run for not facing stronger rivals in other latitudes. In this regard, his coach has come up against such criticism, highlighting that of the 28 races won by the mare, 21 have been from Group 1, the most important class of the turf world.

Another facet of the famous mare Winx

The Mare Winx has done it, for a long time, and now she reaches the stage of being a mother. The usual thing in the world of horse racing is to choose a pony for the mares.

In order to make a suitable choice, several elements such as pedigree, physical and campaign must be taken into account. So the owners of this mare should be thoroughly evaluating which site to go to give this momentous event.

His offspring will be supported by the genes that have allowed Winx to achieve a string of unstoppable hits.

This singular case any breeding and genetic laboratory would be willing to provide these services for free with one of their best horses with the mare Winx champion. From there would be born future foals that would carry the success of his mother in the veins.

The before and after the mare Winx in the Australian equestrian.

The mare Winx has marked a milestone in the equestrian history of Australia. For what she has given joys not only to her team and owners but to a whole country that follows her and admires her. If that were not enough, that love and respect has transcended the borders of what is now a famous mare on the planet.

A mare that marked a before and after in the horse races of Australia. He still has a great road to conquer in international competitions where he will undoubtedly achieve more success.

The mare Winx is much more than a fairy tale. This is a millionaire mare that has been devastating in equestrian competitions. He also figured as a model of a cover of a well-known fashion magazine.

She is a sign that good training and discipline can make a difference. And as we said … Cheap is not always expensive

In the plastic arts there are people who are inclined to capture the beauties of Mother Earth. Some are inclined to landscapes, others to portraits of people. Others within its variety of works make a space for animals especially horses. This is the unique case of the French painter who, within his different collections, has taken into account the beauty and uniqueness that horses represent. For that reason we will approach the related to the horse painter André Brasilier.

André Brasilier was born on October 29, 1929 in Saumur in the District of Maine et Loire in France. Saumur is famous for its military tradition and for hosting the national riding school. Perhaps due to being the birthplace of the national riding school (the famous cadre noir of Saumur of which we wrote some time ago) had the inclination for horses since childhood.

It is probable that this influence has determined his inclination to illustrate this imposing mammal in his select works of art, specifically painting.

This plastic artist combined his skills of painting with engraving and ceramics. André Brasilier has a great inspiration and reflects reality in his different works of art.

André Brasilier artistic lineage

The French artist André Brasilier carries in his lineage the art, since his parents were painters. Usually when born in an artistic family this is transmitted not only in the genes but with the example. These bases gave André Brasilier free rein to develop that artistic vein throughout his life. Well, at the young age of ten, I already knew that I wanted to dedicate myself to art. This was the one that inherited those dominant genes of art.

His first inspiration to perform as a painter was the horses, since the place of residence of the parents was in the field. This allowed him to take as reference these precious animals, as I am overwhelmed with the beauty of these animals. Later he began to work and began to paint the horses in their agricultural tasks.

Achievements of the French painter André Brasilier

• André Brasilier entered the National School of Fine Arts in 1949.
• Achieved his first Rome Prize for painting in 1953.
• Then he lived in Villa Medicis in Rome between 1954 and 1957.
• His inspiration at first was horses. Then he leaned toward the female model being his wife his muse.
• Besides the present nature, the changes of season, the music among others.
• Through its traces it shows the beauty of reality that others do not perceive. Transforms what he observes and expresses it in his canvases that are a beauty
• This man represents a milestone since he was the only painter after Pablo Picasso, who had the privilege of exhibiting his works of art in the Ermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2005.
• Another milestone achieved by this famous French artist was the first painter who had the honor of exhibiting his marvelous paintings in the castle of Chenonceau, in the Loire Valley.
• His magnificent works of art have crossed the borders because they have been taken to several countries including the United States, Japan, Canada, Germany and Russia, among others.

Symbology of the horse in the works of André Brasilier

The environment where the French artist André Brasilier grew was very spiritual. His father was a painter dedicated to mystical works. This painter is not only captivated by the physical beauty of horses. But also because of the symbolism that these have

The painter André Brasilier expresses himself of the horses in the following way:

“Horses are a great creation. They are loaded with symbolism, strength, dynamism, beauty. They are a source of inspiration “André Brasilier

“Horses are always in a beautiful environment, in the heart of nature, it is not possible to distinguish them from nature. What interests me is this search for beauty. “André Brasilier

The horse as a source of inspiration for the painter André Brasilier

The first inspiration that captivated the artist André Brasilier to lean towards this world were the horses. In these he saw a singular beauty and to some extent a divinity that he captured in his portraits.

As a horse lover he has his own copy named Foufou, he remains on his farm in his native France. Today they are still his source of inspiration is a bond that gives him a special encouragement to continue painting them. This is one of the few painters who perceive the evolution that horses have given to the present. If we talk about it, it even has a painter colleague like the Metro horse we talked about in another article (Search and link article)

This man has an ability to see horses from the eyes of love. Well, perceive the movement in the horse. At the same time, he admires in a very special way the leap that these animals have made along with humans. As an example of them all the scenarios that have managed to conquer this beautiful animal from art, literature, recreation, medicine and others

In short, for André Brasilier horses have played a very important role in humanity. But beyond that they have represented a very special companion in those who have a horse at home. For him even horses come to represent a symbol of divinity.

Another source of inspiration of the painter André Brasilier

This artist has always had a predilection for horses which has been painting since its inception. However, there is another source of inspiration in his life and not least his wife. In different works his wife Chantal has become his model and protagonist of these paintings.

Undoubtedly, this couple enjoys the most when he sits down to draw it. This unique couple laugh as teenagers enjoy the moment and this is recorded with the face of his great love is his wife.

Love is always able to inspire and Brasilier’s loves are horses and his wife.

Few artists are inspired by their partner to capture them and immortalize them in their paintings. Definitely a true love of these spouses. This is how his wife and horses are his main motives embodied in his canvases.

The excellence he has maintained throughout his career in the world of the arts has led him to win important prizes as well as the privilege of exhibiting and extremely select galleries.

With a few decades devoted to art this painter has painted a large number of works which have been presented in various places on the planet.

In relation to art this has a very unique paradigm as it points out the following:

“I’m not an artist of the realist movement, I’m interested in the art that transforms” André Brasilier

Love and enjoy what you do to live

That is the message of André Brasilier. Of the artists who are inspired by horses, few come to love this animal with such depth. To the point of seeing him as a symbol of deity, which leads him to capture these beautiful animals in their different works. On the other hand, his admiration for the horse is partly due to the evolution that he has had on a par with the man.

Today this artist is 89 years old, a life that has enjoyed doing what he likes a privilege that few can give. Without a doubt a legacy for the generations of relief in the world of arts.

In the world there are a significant number of horse races. Some stand out more than others because of their uniqueness in the tradition of the country where they are made. Especially in Italy there is a very famous horse race. In this case we are talking about the Palio di Siena Horse Race

The Italian city of Siena is made up of a population of 55,000 inhabitants. It has 17 sectors or “Contradas” and only ten of these participate in the Palio di Siena Horse Race.

The Palio di Siena is characterized for being a horse race that unites the sectors of the city of Siena. In this sense, it unites them to compete among them. This Palio di Siena horse race dates back to the Middle Ages, being a tradition of ancient and great trajectory.

This competition takes place twice a year and what is striking is that it does it to honor the Virgin. The months in which the Palio di Siena Horse Race takes place are July and August. On rare occasions this equestrian event can be done in an extraordinary way.

Where does the Palio di Siena take place?

The space where the Palio di Siena Horse Race takes place is in the central Piazza del Campo of Siena. It is there the meeting point to celebrate the celebration of Palio de Siena Horse Race.

In the name of the Palio di Siena comes both from the city of Siena and from the “Palio” which is a type of highly valued fabric and which was given as a prize. Said cloth could be delivered to the church that supported the area or contrada that competes. It was also used to raise funds to help with the social causes of the community.

The truth is that the “Palio” began to be used to paint in these fabrics generally religious motifs. Many of these are preserved and decorated churches or community spaces. At first the artists and artisans summoned to paint the Palio were exclusively Italians, However, after the Second World War, painters from Siena, Italy and even world-famous painters from other countries were invited.

To this tradition, of painting the prize-cloth to decorate public spaces, it was known as Palio-dipinto

History of the Palio de Siena Horse Race.

This equestrian event has great relevance in the tradition and culture of Italy. The origins of the Palio di Siena Horse Race date back to the 12th and 13th century. From that period horse races were already organized.

The Palio di Siena horse race was held aimed at the entire population in general or in some cases at the stables of the nobles. After these private events the population took the initiative to organize different competences. The competitions organized by the population began to be realized as of century XV. In these competitions there was diversity because not only were horse races.

In the competitions of the town buffalo races, donkey races, bullfights among others were also celebrated. Most of these events were preceded by accompaniments, symbolic representations with fabulous Greek themes.

Recreation when there were no wars

The disposition of the equestrian and other recreation events was given when there were no wars. That is to say that it was a moment of enjoyment and celebration because the atmosphere reigned an air of peace and harmony. This was a singularity of the medieval Sienese army the terrestrial ordination of the military groupings.

Recall that the name of the race is based on the Palio whose meaning is “wool tablecloth” was a very fine and expensive type of fabric. This prize had different uses. One of the most interesting uses of the prize was its delivery to the church of the winning contrada.

We can observe how the “pallium” was destined to the church for certainty or devotion. In other contradas and times the Palio was sold so that its prize could be turned into money to help people of low resources or situations where the majority of the population benefited.

Contradas participating in the Palio di Siena Horse Race.

Seventeen “Contradas” from the city of Siena participate today. Among them we can mention the following: Eagle, Caterpillar, Snail, Owl, Dragon, Giraffe, Porcupine, Unicorn, She-wolf, Shell, Goose, Wave. This was instituted in the year 1729, that is to say that it is now almost three centuries old.

These are the different teams that compete in the Palio di Siena Horse Race. However, these contracts were eliminated: Rooster, Lion, Bear, Oak, Strong Sword and Viper.

In honor of these contracts eliminated at the time that the others are founded. We proceed to perform the historical procession before starting the race. For this six riders represent these six contrapas disappeared.

Dynamics of the days that celebrate the Palio de Siena Horse Race.

The day you take the Palio di Siena horse race event or as they call it Palio day, the atmosphere tends to get a little tense.

For this the signal is when the great bell of the Mansia tower sounds. It is there where the participants of the different zones are adorned with their clothing.

Then all sectors of the city of Siena are ready to run in the Piazza del Campo. There they bless their horse and it is the moment when the piazza del Campo under the intense heat of summer begins to fill with the spectators of the Palio di Siena horse race event.

After the square is obstructed, those who are in the place are not allowed to leave. These people are in the very center of the square. The reward is that from there you can enjoy the Palio di Siena horse race.

The excitement grows

Throughout the day the excitement grows during the authentic procession that takes place before the Palio di Siena Horse Race. In the process of this parade all the sectors of the city of Siena go with their standard bearers.

This race has the particularity that the moment of the game is chosen by the tenth neighborhood that participates. This gives the opening throwing to the ground the tape that slows the participating horses. In this way starts one of the oldest horse races on the planet. Where the horses leave quickly with riders clinging to their necks in a race to the full.

Then they give three turns to the square where they are observed by thousands of native and foreign spectators.

Protests against the Palio di Siena Horse Race

The animal protection associations play their role where they observe animal abuse. For this reason he has intervened against the Palio di Siena horse race. The reasons are excessive because the horses are mistreated, they are subjected to running in the middle of the crowd of people. This is a reason that already generates stress in horses.

On some occasions in which the Palio di Siena Horse Race has been celebrated, horses have died.

In view of the pressure from activists for animal rights the government has taken some measures such as ensuring the good health of horses, as well as the use of high plastic protections such as hypervinyl chloride.

However, these foundations are not going to rest and will continue to be the voice of many animals that are mistreated.

Palio di Siena, an historical event

The Palio di Siena horse race is one of the oldest in the world, which gives it a historical and cultural character that is relevant to Italy. A tradition framed in honoring the Virgin is also controversial due to the cases of animal victims of animal abuse.

The recommendation for those participating in the Palio de Siena Horse Race is that they take the necessary measures so that the horse is safe.

The horse is an animal that has always been next to man fulfilling various functions. From company and friendship to medium mobilization routes that for humans would be extremely long. One of the countries with great nomadic tradition is the Turkish people. That is why today we will analyze the role of the horse in Turkish culture. The horse in Turkish culture

If we see throughout the history of man the horse represents a symbol of great importance. From its physical aspect transmits beauty, strength, freedom. It is impressive what a horse transmits.

Those who have had the opportunity to share with horses know that it is so. In this sense it is intended to address the importance and traditions of the horse in Turkish culture.

The horse in the framework of the culture of Turkey has a very special meaning, that is, it goes beyond its physical aspect. It turns out that it has a magical and spiritual aspect, this is a sacred representation for the Turks.

In view of the fact that these people have always moved from one space to another, they have frequently made the horse their means of transportation in remote areas. Consequently the horse has become a life partner for the natives of the Turkish country. For this reason the equine has a double meaning in them both at the level of friend and a protective spirit.

Based on this we can deduce the great importance of the horse in Turkish culture.

Origins of the horse in Turkish culture

In relation to its history there are several mythological versions of the horse in Turkish culture. Thus, as for each ethnic group they have a different result:

• For the Altaic the horse has a heavenly origin, it was given as a gift from the heavens.
• The Yakut ethnic group talk about their coming from the solar world.
• Likewise the shamans is also a communication vehicle but this time it is not physical but astral and they call it Argamak.

Although they are groups that belong to the same geographical area, they differ from the origin of the horse. However, we can see that each one gives a different but spiritual meaning

The horse in Turkish culture and its spiritual world

In relation to the meaning of the horse in other spiritual planes comes alive as it is a means to convey news of planes invisible to the human being itself.

The intuition of these animals prevents possible negative effects for the person. On the other hand he is a faithful servant of the gods, a combat companion and a wise counselor to his master.

This way the versions of legends arise among them the ones that we will describe next:

The lake of milk

One of these legends tells us that there are horses with wings, in turn these have special skills where they can swim under deep water, or furrow the sky. They are from the lake of milk found on a mountain called Kif.

According to legend, the enlightened Hizir in search of an effective solution to death threw wine into the lagoon. As a result he was able to catch a pair to which he eliminated his winged characteristics, then he joined them and there the horse was born

The Horse as a gift from Allah

On the other hand, the Islamists have their own version of the horse in Turkish culture. What they narrate is that when the god Allah sent Adam to the world, he gave him a horse with wings. Then he takes the nerve to cut the horse’s wings. Consequently the vitality of its wings happened to be of the extremities that is to say the legs.

The feeling of sadness invaded the horse for not having the possibility of returning to the paradise where it came from. In fact he lost two of his four eyes and I am left with only two which is as it is known today.

Other myths of the horse

Myths are also told where they tell how horses of race from the union of a sea horse and a mare from there were born with the ability to swim.

The great value that the horse has in Turkish culture

Due to the experiences of living in a different place every so often through the history of the Turkish community allowed sharing with the horses. Having a nomadic lifestyle had an important influence on the perception of the horse in Turkish culture and highlighted its importance

On the other hand, war fighters made a union with the horse that crosses the border of this dimension. This led to the perpetuation of this union throughout the different generations of the Turks.

When we speak of sacred animals in Turkish mythology, the horse is the king of this story. According to these the horse receives its power from God in turn represents death and intuition.

What’s more, what in other cultures mentions the dog as man’s best friend in this country dethroned him because this place undoubtedly is occupied by the horse. In the rituals that the caciques perform, the horse has great relevance as an immolation animal

In relation to the genesis of the horse they differ from several mythological theories where it can be created from any elemental of nature such as water, fire, air, among others.

Sayings about the horse in Turkish culture

This majestic and imposing animal has its particularities within the Turkish culture. Among these unique characteristics they describe the horse “as a bird”, “perceives the adverse”, and that “is indefatigable”.

It is also said that the horse in Turkish culture “puts his master on alert in a situation of danger” and is a “faithful friend”. Without a doubt he is considered a great friend, guide and defender of the Turkish.

The horse an animal domesticated by the Turkish people

According to the writer Schmidh states that the “horse was domesticated by the Turks”

When the inhabitants of Turkey undertook a trip to another distant place like the one that they realized of Asia towards Anatolia. They also took with them the deep roots of their autochthonous culture. In fact, the Turkish horse gained great popularity in various geographical areas through which they passed.

The relevance of the horse in Turkish culture remained intact during the Ottoman periods. The different governments lived with the horse. In addition, he served in the various wars in which they had an active participation.

The horse as the main component of the walk culture was extended to other countries such as Iran, India, Europe, among others by means of the stellar that left in its wake the transit of the Turks through these lands. That is to say, they not only sowed that devotion for the horse in their compatriots, but also others.

Under the Ottoman Empire the selection of specimens was achieved for their proper training. This is how Turkish used a pennant made with the horse’s tail as an emblem of power. These pennants denominated like the tuğ extended in the period of the oriental ones.

The attributes of the horse that make him the best friend

To finish with the theme raised in relation to the horse in the Turkish culture and in his life. We can see all the attributes that the equine animal represents for these. Therefore the horse is a very well cared for animal and loved by these.

This vision of the horse as a guide and power animal has been handed down from generation to generation. In this way, these beliefs will continue to be preserved in relation to the mythical animal, such as the horse.

Just as the horse has a magical and spiritual representation for these people, it also has it for other countries. Only that it focuses from another perspective, in short the horse in the real plane is synonymous with courage, freedom, strength.

Of course after the dog the equine occupies a special place in the life of the human. Where every day continues to conquer different spaces with their wonderful qualities. Despite this, for some people even the horse is man’s best friend.

Beerbaum Family

The Beerbaum family began their wanderings through Horst Beerbaum. If this farmer had not had the vision maybe we would have missed the best equestrian athletes of all time. Horst Beerbaum early detected the talent of his children and began to encourage them to practice riding.

In some cases this is enough but the bad character of the riding instructor frightened Horst’s eldest son, Ludger Beerbaum.

For connoisseurs of the equestrian world, Ludger Beerbaum is a pop star of equestrian sport. Not only in Germany is it known but around the world. The firstborn of the Beerbaum family has been on the first place in the ranking of the FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale – International Equestrian Federation).

Who is Horst Beerbaum?

Horst Beerbaum with his wife Mathilde had 4 children: Ludger, Markus, Ruth and Monika. The beautiful couple introduced their children to life and the agricultural business but at the same time encouraged them to participate in the equestrian world.

The Beerbaum family is a very close family. Currently both brothers are competitors in the business of stables and the breeding and marketing of horses. However that does not cause problems between them. A healthy rivalry that from the beginning made the members of the Beerbaum family get better and better. With high goals and a clear vision of the patriarch of the Horst Beerbaum family. Then we will meet the rest of the members of this family that has left its mark on the equestrian world.
