The horse in the paint

http://www.gustavomirabal.es/mundo-equino/el-caballo-en-la-pintura

Feb23

The fascination with the power of the horse in the paint and its connection with man accompanies us not only during the history of man but also from prehistory dating back to the late Paleolithic.

Paintings of horses in the Cave of Ekain

In the Cave of Ekain are the first reflections of the horse in the paint. It is located in the Basque country. Ekain has an outstanding collection of cave paintings of horses, relevant for their quantity and quality.

Throughout the different galleries there are 70 figures and of which 58% correspond to horses. For the studies carried out, these horses were not used for food but already become companions of the human being. The paintings of the cave are framed in the Magdalenian culture that dates between 14,000 and 6,000 BC.

It is one of the oldest records of the connection between man and horse. The cave of Ekain is a World Heritage Site of UNESCO since 2008.

Advancing in time, in the Chinese painting stood out the horse painter Han Gan during the Tang Dynasty, 8th century. Han had the reputation of portraying not only the horse but even portraying his spirit. This level of depth in the relationship between man and horse is admirable and few of us notice it today. With Han Gan the horse in the paint reach a new level.

The modern horse in the paint

Actually, the horse in the paint remains its importances. Today I am going to introduce you to two interesting representatives of equine painting who, besides being recognized, have a powerful attraction in their works. The selected ones are the French Théodore Géricault and the George Stubbs.

Théodore Géricault

Arabian gray horse bt Theodore Gericault

Jean-Louis André Théodore Géricault was born in Rouen France in September 1791. Son of Luisa-Juana-María Caruel and lawyer Jorge Nicolás Géricault. In 1808, he had already made the decision to dedicate himself to painting, entering as a student in the studio of Carle Vernet enchanted by Vernet’s horse paintings. In his studio he met Vernet’s son, Horace, and Pierre Guérin with whom he had a long friendship.

Géricault’s passion for horses was his muse and horses would end up becoming the main distinguishing mark of his art and one of the most significant symbols. His images transmit freedom, power, but above all innocence. Two of his most significant works are reflected below

Théodore Géricault’s painting conveys a sense of familiarity and empathy between the man and the horse where the viewer approaches the feelings of the equine from his own feelings evoking in his spirit such a connection. Simply wonderful.

George Stubbs

Painter self-taught and in love with horses and their anatomy. Born in England, George Stubbs is mainly known for his horse paintings. He also felt a deep passion for anatomy, both human and equine.

Stubbs began his artistic training as an apprentice to the painter and engraver Hamlet Winstanley. Soon he was frustrated by Winstanley’s learning method. His method was to copy other works instead of studying and creating.

It is from this moment that he gave free rein to his passion for anatomy and ended up writing in 1766 “The Anatomy of the Horse” after spending a year and a half on a farm in Lincolnshire studying horses.

During his life Stubbs had several patrons who recognized his talent and commissioned many paintings such as the Duke of Richmond and the Marquis of Rockingham

The most famous work of Stubbs is Whistlejacket, a painting of a wild horse rearing that was commissioned by the Marquis of Rockingam, along with two other paintings, and whose distinctive feature funds without any vitality, concentrating the attention and energy of the viewer in the vitality of the horse. Currently the paintings are in London at the National Gallery.

Stubbs achieves the perfect representation of the horse anatomically in turn capturing the vital energy of horses. He managed to transmit all the power and beauty of the animal in its pure essence.

Stubbs and Gericault are worthy representatives of the horse in the paint and the equine art. Moreover, they are representatives of that part of humanity that has discovered the best companion of man, the horse.

A good horse trainer

A good horse trainer

For a horse to follow the orders of the rider or owner, a training and a trainer are required.

This trainer must comply with certain characteristics that make him capable and capable of educating the animal.

In this article we will show what these characteristics are …

7 Things You Should Be Getting From Your Horse Trainer/Riding Instructor

Watch this video on YouTube

A good coach

To be a good coach you must be patient, respectful and not mistreat the animal. This are the values of a good horse trainer.

In this sense, leaving the route with friends, riding without using the reins or make a jump of 1.30 m, will be more effective.

No matter what it is, our goals motivate us to move forward.

Now, communication and motivation are key in the teaching process of the horse.

A motivated horse will do everything that is asked of him, but if the animal feels compelled, it will hardly react as requested.

The motivation for a good horse trainer

It is necessary a respectful and trusting relationship, control is gained by practicing it without physically straining or punishing the horse. In case of not reaching the objectives, it is necessary to review the training plan and the technique first.

It is essential to take the time necessary to achieve a realistic goal, plan the steps and appropriate exercises to achieve it and calculate sufficient time.

In no case is it justified to hurt the animal in our custody because it does not achieve the expected results.

Before getting on the horse, you must make sure that the horse responds to the training.

If the animal presents a rebellious behavior, nothing docile or reluctant should be expected.

The safety of the coach is also important. Therefore, the first thing is to gain the respect and confidence of the horse.

Only then can control be maintained.

Good control means being able to move on request the three main parts of the horse (head, back, back) in any direction and at any time.

The horse must be more and more responsive to the aid of the rider and he takes every opportunity to reward the horse with words, gestures and caresses, so the good relationship between the two is obvious.

Who is the leader

In the relationship horseman-horse or trainer-horse there must be a leader. A good horse trainer must take the reins.

You have to be at all times aware of the horse and willing to review your training method or take into account other proposals to facilitate learning.

An active rider constantly gives orders when handling the horse. Each of your movements or aids has a specific intention and expects a specific response from the horse.

That includes breaks during training. As the attention span of the horse lengthens, an active person begins to ask for more and more successive tasks to the horse, which at the same time will help him stay focused for a longer time.

Finally the attention of the horse is directed to the person and he acquires the habit of looking at the person to obtain the next request.

A rider just does not expect instant miracles, but is aware that any goal is achieved through small steps and constant practice. A good horse trainer are the miracle that rider needs

Ishbak Shehadeh The horse healer

Ishbak Shehadeh The horse healer.

In the equine world there are many aspects to take into account when having horses. Since it entails a routine veterinary control, and in turn if it presents disruptive behaviors, it is necessary to look for an expert in the area of animal ethology for its corresponding therapeutic work. This is how we are going to deepen in relation to the trajectory of Ishbak Shehadeh.

General Bitless System Illustrations Summary 2016

Watch this video on YouTube

Ishbak Shehadeh, is a coach, an ethologist. This expert has devoted most of his time to the rehabilitation of these animals, which due to bad handling or traumas develop tricks and can not perform well in sports. From his experience in Chile, mainly with race thoroughbred horses and also with Chilean horses, he developed his own method that in the last two years took him to some of the main equestrian centers in the world, in countries like Kuwait and France.

Work with horses

Ishbak Shehadeh is professionally acquainted with equine behavior and the study of animal behavior. His system, which seeks communication with the animal, and which includes the use of riding without brake, replaces aggressive methods to achieve its ends.
He studied the classic training systems to make a turn, and make it easier for the horses, without pain and without punishment, so that this also not only benefits the horse, from the point of view of well-being, but also improves its performance and your competitiveness. “
Working with racehorses was their main school. That is why he was always aware of their behavior, in relation to the brake, which made him question the reason for its use. If it was necessary or not, and about the pain caused to the animal. All this was the starting point of his search.

Ishbak Shehadeh experiment in Patagonia

In June 2013 Ishbak Shehadeh went to Patagonia, to a secluded family camp in the Cordon del Caulle, where he lived for eight months with an uncle’s horses, and began his first pilot project that took approximately six months. He recorded all the behaviors that the animals had, and he tried 24 hours a day to get results. It is in that place where he was born in Bitless System method when he began to notice that some of these horses had problems due to the brake.

The solution seemed quite logical: find an alternative to mount them without brake. What happened was that he did not find any methodology to make the transition from brake to bitless (without brake). I was working with racing horses and I needed a safe and professional system, not a miraculous device. I did not find alternatives, I decided to create by myself.

The Bitless system

The Bitless Bridle: Part 1

Watch this video on YouTube

The Bitless System is a tool that can be used when necessary. Or when the person wants, interspersing their use with brake, hakamore or using directly without anything. A well-tamed horse and a rider with sufficient basic experience will be able to change the brake, for the hakamore and for the rope in the neck, and reverse, when necessary.

In effect, broadening the spectrum of possibilities. All this done with responsibility, a person without basic experience, and without a methodology, can cause damage using a brake. And even more using the bitless incorrectly. Not every horse is ready to start working without embouchure, and not every gentleman is able to ride without mouthpieces.

Relaxation strategies music

Equine therapy is applied in order to reduce the negative effects of diseases or conditions on patients. However, in order to accelerate the improvement or rehabilitation processes, it is necessary to combine with other complementary strategies such as relaxation for patients receiving this type of alternative therapy. In this article we will specifically address the healing effect of music on patients as a relaxation strategies

Music Therapy and Horse Back Riding-Carol Souki

Watch this video on YouTube

Music in equine therapy

Music expressed in voice or with feelings, is part of human life since its inception and we have all experienced its magical effects on us. Its therapeutic effect is so great that it evolved towards the creation of music therapy. In no way is it intended that the therapist of equinotherapy enter that field, since this implies specialized studies. You just want to motivate him to apply the music in a simple way to achieve relax or encourage, as required. The purpouse is to use music as one of multiples relaxation strategies

Effects of music as one of multiple relaxation strategies

The simplest and oldest way to calm anguish and reassure is to sing. When working in young children in hippotherapy. These sometimes resent the temporary separation of their parents and start the session very distressed. An almost magical recipe is to start walking on the horse immediately and sing simple children’s songs that adapt to the pace of the horse’s pace.
Adequate music tones

The tone and volume of the therapist’s voice play an important role in the relaxation process. The loud and loud voice excites and stimulates, the low and soft voice relaxes and calms.

Music as one of multiple relaxation strategies

Songs in a higher tone encourage extroversion, those with a lower tone introversion. The melodious songs have an effect on the emotional center, the rhythmic songs on the motor center.

Horseback riding and musical rhythm are intimately linked so reinforcing the rhythm of riding by means of the most appropriate voice or percussion instruments during the ride are the maracas, drums of sound and drums.

Use of a rhythmic instrument is stimulating, especially in the abdominal and pelvic areas, although a relaxing effect is achieved for two reasons:

The patient’s metal care is directed to the motor center in the pelvic area
The monotony of the rhythmic pattern of riding together with the rhythm of maracas, cause a psychic relaxation with regulating effects of respiration and relaxing of muscular activity

It is convenient for the therapist to handle the instruments (whether in a twin or on the floor), so that the patient does not become distracted by the handling of them.

Purpose of Music in sessions

The most important purpose is to relax the musculature so that the seat is deepened and the therapeutic principles it provides to the horse can be transmitted. Multiple relaxation strategies help to achive this goal.

During the therapeutic session the trio therapist, patient and horse establish a deep physical and psychic communication affecting and influencing each other. The good therapy therapist is aware of that and will always try to motivate the patient with his own example

We encourage you to use music as one of the relaxation strategies either for equinetherapy, for riding or in your life in general. Music is life

Theater play “Horse in a fire”

Theater play “Horse in a fire” (Caballo en un Incendio)

The play Caballo en una fuego is an adaptation of the text by Argentinean Alfredo Rosenbaum. Which addresses the issue of unemployment from the surrealist current, with aesthetic plastic and acting work of that movement.

What is the work “Horse in a fire” about?

It is a surrealist piece that places us in the waiting room of an institution whose purposes are not clarified. “The reader” and Siamese twins – who later appear separated and turned into identical twins – await. On the other hand, on the loudspeakers, the names of other people are heard, but never theirs. In that long wait, take the opportunity to discuss the plot of a novel, making capricious comments.

In the event of this absurd routine, the idea of the horse is born in the dialogues. First, as the theme of the novel that loads “a reader”. Then, in the images of a dream and, finally, as life and death impulses ready to rush against someone. Gradually, those strange and uncomfortable energies take over “The Reader”. In that way, catastrophe becomes an inevitable threat.

Also, the actions help to build the fatal atmosphere that permeates the work. Alonso Casasola and Luis D. Jenkins materialize twins capable of acting in unison, as if they were a single entity. His delirious attitude impacts by the precision in gestures and movements. In some passages, when they move like horses of passage, we perceive the successful bet to move them away from any rational behavior.

Analysis of the work “Horse in a fire”

It is presented as a metaphor for a competitive society that leaves out of play those who are incapable of harming others in order to occupy the first places. A social machine that stifles any attempt at solidarity with difference.

In this order of ideas, the work is made to be felt and then understood. It also offers the viewer multiple meanings and interpretation possibilities.

It is worth noting that through a black humor, the work talks about the growing challenges faced by the complex monetary and labor systems of the contemporary world. At the same time, it invites us to remember the vital desire of the genuine being and his search for freedom against systems that attempt against it.

It was said that the work is an adaptation of Alfredo Rosenbaum’s text, who is this character?

Horse in a fire, surreal piece

Surrealism is an artistic and literary movement that emerged in France. After the First World War and that is inspired by psychoanalytic theories to try to reflect the functioning of the subconscious, leaving aside any kind of rational control.

Just as the horse in a fire is a surrealist piece, this type of work shows us the importance of horses for man from a symbolic point of view. On horse it is even in our dreams.
