Acepciones generales de la justicia
Sep10Acepciones generales de la justicia Mucho hemos escuchado hablar de un término llamado justicia. En las noticias con los amigos e incluso con nuestras abuelas cuando se referían a la justicia divina. Sin embargo en esta entrega nos enfocaremos en las acepciones generales de la justicia con el fin de entender un poco más en lo que respecta el término como tal. Si queremos ver la justicia representada en tercera dimensión con un icono esta simbolizada por una mujer con los ojos vendados. Además con una balanza en una mano y una espada en la otra. Cuando nos referimos al termino de justicia esta proviene del latín iustitĭa. A su vez, viene de ius derecho y el significado es «lo justo» El origen del término de justicia surge de la imperativa necesidad de conservar unión en las personas del entorno. Por lo que se generó reglas, pautas que se dan en un marco apropiado para las relaciones entre personas y organismos del estado y privados. De esta manera se da pie a la facultad de autorizar, prohibir y asentir acciones concretas en la interacción de estos. Cumpliendo con esta serie de normas se puede lograr una sociedad más equilibrada y armoniosa. El concepto de justicia puede verse desde diferentes acepciones: el ético, moral, como virtud, filosófico, religioso, derecho entre otros. Podemos ver que la palabra justicia puede tener múltiples significados dependiendo desde la perspectiva que se quiera abordar. En este artículo vamos a dar una mirada más general y en futuras entregas lo abordaremos desde el punto de vista del derecho. De qué justicia hablamos cuando hablamos de justicia. | Jose Ramón Chaves | TEDxOviedoUniversityWatch this video on YouTube El término justicia y su raíz etimológica La raíz del término justicia está asociado con distintas palabras cuyo significado y su raíz religiosa como son: jurare, júpiter, iuramentum. De allí que los romanos creyeran que el derecho y la justicia eran un regalo de la divinidad. Vemos como desde un principio la humanidad le ha dado un significado espiritual al término de la justicia. No en vano escuchamos a muchas personas decir el término de justicia divina. Esto es precisamente un efecto que se ha corrido a lo largo de los miles de años de la existencia de la humanidad. Por otro lado los romanos si supieron establecer las diferencias del término justicia tanto en el espacio jurídico “ius” como religioso “fas”. Existen diversas opiniones derivadas de autores que apuntan hacia un significado de derivar de la raíz sánscrita yoh, como nativo de una deidad. Sin embargo otros mantienen su opinión de que proviene de la raíz sáncrita yu que se corresponde con un «vínculo obligatorio».La justicia desde la filosofía Cuando abordamos la palabra justicia desde la acepción filosófica podemos ver que la moral y ética entran en protagonismo. En ellas se precisa como justicia la virtud esencial que mora en la voluntad de la persona. A través de esta el ser humano está inclinado a dar a cada uno lo suyo. Esto se puede materializar de forma individual, o como sociedad. Para entender un poco más del termino justicia cabe destacar algunos aspectos importantes los cuales mencionaremos a continuaciónLa justicia es una virtud por esta razón se considera como una disposición usual para hacer el bien. Así mismo la justicia, se considera una virtud primordial. Pues sobre esta rueda la vida moral de la persona. Está en una facultad insaciable por ello reside en el apetito racional, es decir, en la voluntad. Es de suma importancia puesto que la justicia al ser considerada una virtud impera la objetividad. Esta última es fundamental en la sociedad actual. Acepción de la justicia desde la perspectiva del Derecho Romano Como ya hemos mencionado anteriormente el término justicia proviene de iustitia. Por ello el jurista Ulpiano la especificó del siguiente modo así: Iustitia est constans et perpetua voluntas ius suum cuique tribuendi; «La justicia es la constante y perpetua voluntad de dar (conceder) a cada uno su derecho». Los preceptos o mandatos del derecho son: honeste vivere, alterum non laedere et suum quique tribuere… («vivir honestamente, no hacer daño a nadie y dar a cada uno lo que le corresponde»). De acuerdo a lo anterior expuesto por el jurista Ulpiano podemos ver que este se inspiró en la filosofía griega de pitagóricos y estoicos. En efecto la justicia es una voluntad que implica el credo de lo que se considera justo y bueno. La adecuación del término de la justicia a la ley en las acciones humanas, los principios legales se agrupan de manera constante. Por lo que, la justicia disipa su contenido abstracto, de valor ideal y estático. En consecuencia esta se convierte en una pericia específica, eficiente que siempre se encargara de regir las conductas. En síntesis Podemos ver las diversas acepciones de la palabra justicia. Sin embargo en el ámbito de las leyes es crucial. De hecho llega a tener el alcance de un valor que deben tener las instituciones y personas como individuos para actuar de la manera más adecuada y de acuerdo a las normas y leyes de cada país. En fin como individuos y parte integrante de la sociedad debemos actuar de la mejor manera y dando ejemplo de justicia en nuestro entorno inmediato. si realmente queremos un mundo donde se ponga en práctica el termino en todo su esplendor debemos comenzar por casa. Las buenas acciones tienen efectos positivos en el día a día. Así que en la medida de los posible se coherente con fue pensamientos acciones y ante todo se justo.

El derecho de los animales
Sep09Así como lo seres humanos tenemos derechos, los animales también puestos son seres vivos que sienten y padecen. Por esto hay algunos países en el mundo que poco a poco han ido evolucionando en relación a esta materia tan importante. Pues una sociedad que brinda un buen trato a los animales dice mucho del nivel de conciencia y empatía que estas puedan tener. Por esta razón abordaremos a profundidad lo relacionado con el derecho de los animales. En lo que respecta a la legislación que rige cada país suele variar. Lo que sí está claro es que hay naciones donde son muy estrictos y hacen valer los derechos de los animales pues hay leyes que los protegen y sancionan aquellos que les causen daño. Desafortunadamente no todos los países actúan así pues en la mayoría los derechos de los animales están vulnerados. Un claro ejemplo de esto es la tauromaquia es decir las corridas de toros que en algunos países se abolió. Mientras que en otros países los mismos organismos públicos promueven estos actos atroces en contra de estos nobles animales. Los animales sí tienen derechos | Gustavo Larios | TEDxPiticWatch this video on YouTube Declaración universal de los derechos de los animales La Liga Internacional de los Derechos del Animal proclama lo siguiente: Los artículos que conforman la declaración universal de los derechos de los animales van desde el respeto a la existencia en sí. También menciona el respeto que estos merecen. Por esta razón el ser humano no tiene ningún derecho de explotarlos o eliminarlos. Por el contrario todo lo que sabe lo debe poner al servicio de estas nobles criaturas. Desafortunadamente esto poco se cumple por lo que podemos ver que es el pan de cada día en muchos países. El hombre como animal superior debe brindar protección a los animales en la medida de lo posible. Por ello se establecen leyes de protección animal. Pero esta no se da en la mayoría de países. Y donde existe debe haber un ente regulatorio que vele por el derecho de los animales uno muy importante es que absolutamente ningún animal será sometido a malos tratos ni a actos crueles. la realidad es diferente cuando vemos los delfinarios, circos, y otros sitios donde el maltrato hacia estos es el común denominador. En este sentido Alemania dio un paso adelante prohibiendo los circos con animales. Pero queda mucho por parte de la sociedad en no asistir a este tipo de eventos que se lucren con el sufrimiento de los animales. En relación a la muerte de un animal, ésta debe ser instantánea e indolora. Procurando de esta manera que el animal sufra lo menos posible Luego tenemos las especies salvajes están deben estar en su hábitat natural. Los organismos competentes de los estados deben velar por la no comercialización de estos animales.Protección de los animales por parte del hombre Toda modificación de dicho ritmo o dichas condiciones que fuera impuesta por el hombre con fines mercantiles es contraria a dicho derecho. En este sentido sucede lo contrario donde están los criaderos clandestinos de perros. Aquello se convierte en una fábrica de animales y cuando ya no sirven para su negocio los desechan como un objeto. El hombre debe procurar que el animal tenga calidad de vida y permitir que este viva de acuerdo a su longevidad natural. Por otro lado el abandono de un animal es un acto inhumano y despreciable. Pues muchas veces estos animales terminan en las calles sufriendo cada segundo de su existencia. en algunos casos corren con suerte y son rescatados y adoptados pero no a todos la vida les brinda una segunda oportunidad Sobre todo aquellos animales que realizan trabajos fuertes como los burros y caballos tienen derecho a un tiempo e intensidad del trabajo razonable. Así mismo estos deben ser alimentados adecuadamente y a contar con un descanso oportuno en unas instalaciones adecuadas.Los derechos de los animales y el maltrato animal Como podemos ver los derechos universales de los animales van siempre enfocados en el bienestar de los animales independientemente de su especie y hábitat De allí que va en contra de cualquier experimento con animales. Pues la mayoría de estos estudios científicos causan dolor físico o psicológico a estas criaturas. La mejor forma que la sociedad puede combatir esto es no adquirir los productos que sean sujetos a estos atroces experimentos. En el caso de las celebridades que usa trajes con pieles de animales es muy simple no comprar sus discos, ni películas. Es decir absolutamente nada de lo que promueva su marca personal Ningún animal debe ser explotado para esparcimiento del hombre. en este caso los circos, los delfinarios, zoológicos simplemente nos asistir y correr la voz en las redes sociales para causar un eco de conciencia en la población. La cacería de cetáceos en países como Japón y Dinamarca, es un biocidio, es decir, un crimen contra la vida. Desafortunadamente en el primer caso con fines comerciales en el segundo caso por tradiciones absurdas de los países. Ni hablar de la situación actual del incendio del Amazonas que ha traído como nefasta consecuencia la muerte de un gran número de animales salvajes.Rol de estado en materia de protección y derecho de los animales Las instituciones gubernamentales de los diferentes países deben de brindar protección a los animales. Por otro lado crear los mecanismos competentes en esta materia. Algo muy importante de destacar es que los derechos de los animales deben ser amparados por la ley. Esto debe res tan relevante como lo son los derechos del hombre. La declaración universal de los derechos de los animales fue adoptada por La Liga Internacional de los Derechos del Animal en 1977, que la proclamó al año siguiente. “Todos los animales nacen iguales ante la vida y tienen los mismos derechos a la existencia” En síntesis Si se respetara al pie de la letra los derechos de los animales este mundo sería mucho mejor. Afortunadamente hay países que son conscientes de eso y sancionan y castigan el maltrato de los animales. Sin embargo queda mucho por hacer en materia de protección animal. Las ONG de muchos países han hecho un gran esfuerzo como voces de los animales haciendo escuchar las peticiones y logrando avances en el ámbito legal que ampara los derechos de los animales. A los padres y maestros les queda una labor de crear conciencia en los niños en relación al cuidado, respeto y amor hacia los animales. Por su parte las redes sociales hoy en día juegan un papel importante en esta materia pues la difusión de información por parte de fundaciones e institución en pro de los animales es importante. Cabe resaltar que el día 10 de diciembre se celebra el día internacional de los derechos de los animales. Siendo esta un fecha propicia para crear conciencia en la sociedad en relación al tema.

Aug23The role of horse has been present in all facets of the human being. This animal has provided great contributions for the evolution of the human being. In this way the horse is present in one of the playful games such as chess. This being a discipline that even has participation in international competitions. For this important reason we will talk a little about the horse in chess, also it is known as the knight. We can see that horses in chess have the noble mission of protecting the king. In this sense they function as escorts and faithful assistants who protect the king even with his life. This piece, like the horse in chess, represents the royal knights in combat The mobilization of the horse in chess is through the sliding of these turning on all kinds of difficulties. In this way it works on own pieces and enemy pieces. Knights of the South Bronx 2005 (Los caballeros del sur del Bronx TV) Fragmento de películaWatch this video on YouTube Where is the horse in chess board? Chess Set, horse in chess On the chess board there are two types of horses which we will mention next the lady’s horse and the king’s horse:When starting the game of chess, each participant has two horses. One placed on the flank lady column B, CB1 for the white side. Also the CB8 for the black group, these are designated the lady horse. It also has another horse that is located on the king’s flank, placed in column G, CG1 for the white side. Also the CG8 for the black side, these are called king horses.Meaning of the horse in chess The horse piece in chess has its own meaning being this a minor piece of chess. It has an approximate cost of three pawns and its movement similar to an “L”. A differentiating element in relation to the other pieces is that it can skip intermediate pieces. Also capture by taking the square occupied by the disputing piece. Checkmate At the beginning of a tournament, each player has two pieces that are prepared in columns B and G. in relation to colors it is given in the first row for white and in the eighth for black. As for people who have not experimented with the game of chess, he has some fear of the horse’s role in chess. Well, they don’t understand what their dynamics are in the game as their movement is, being surprised by the tactics of the possessor The horse in chess is used in most chess variants, usually in the same position as the western version. It also maintains its special movement. As if that were not enough, the nightrider is a piece that has an inclination similar to the horse. This was created for use in chess problems. Functionality of the horse in chess Depending on the horse that is whether it is that of the lady or that of the king it will have its own way of playing and moving to, through the chess board. One way to drive its movement is by moving two boxes forward, backward, right or left. You can also do it in a box to the side. The horse does not demand that the routes through which it is moved be free of its own pieces or of the contestant. In relation to the value of a horse it is subtly superior to three pawns and approximately equal to a bishop. In this sense, since their value is similar and their mobility is low, bishops and horses constitute the set of small pieces. The functionality of attacking the horse is made exclusively by the final square, which is always the opposite color of the square where it is located at the beginning. How is the movement of the horse in chess Movement of horse in chess His way of jumping is done as follows: the horse is lifted from the starting box. Then one advances in a straight line in a path equivalent to the tower but only one square per column or row Subsequently, the movement continues with only one square crosswise, to be the final square controlled or attacked by the horse. The horse in the center: it is located in square e4, it can attack eight squares. That is, the Ce4 can be located in the dark colored boxes: f2, g3, g5, f6, d6, c5, c3 and d2. The horse at the edge of the board: located in box d1, can jump to 4 squares: f2, e3, c3 and b2. The horse in a corner of the board: located in square a1 can, jump only to two squares: c2 and b3. Origin of Chess and the representation of the horse in the game There are legends that allude to the genesis of the chess game so they mention the Brahmin Sissa created the chaturanga. That is why he has the role of being the oldest precursor of the chess tournament. Chess piece – Black knight (or horse) Therefore, at the request of the Indian Raja Balhait, the creator of chess, the Brahmin Sissa was founded on the images of the Army of India. This being the very important reason for including the horse as a distinctive form of cavalry and the role they played in the armies during combat. According to Greek accounts, this was the constitution of the army of India since the fourth century B.C. Chess at the beginning had the name of the word Chaturanga. This means that it is attributed to the parts of the army in the Ramadan and the Mahabharata. Therefore the ashwa is the Sanskrit signal for the horse animal. In various languages such as Persian the piece was designated Asp and in Arabic Faras, you are with the same meaning as in Sanskrit. In Spain and Portugal the piece retained the original meaning in Sanskrit. However, in countries such as France, Italy and the United Kingdom its meaning was modified in order to symbolize cavalry. This action was influenced by medieval virtues that handle the game as an allegory to shape society. In other countries it acquires different meanings, such as in German, the piece achieved a different list where Springer is designated as jumper. Chess game icons The oldest devices found are from the set of Afrasiab pieces from which two horses were found. These pieces are about three centimeters tall. They also have the shape of an armed warrior mounted. Subsequently, we opted for the elaboration of more sober and stylized sketches. These were developed by Muslims reaching the prohibition of Islam to symbolize living figures. In the set of pieces of Ager, the horse in chess is a cylindrical block with inscriptions on the sides. The widely known current format of the piece was created in the 15th century in Europe. It was also motivated by the beginning of the Renaissance era in which the workers embodied in the piece the deflation of classical culture. Therefore they adopted a cemented design in the figures of Ancient Greece. The game of chess as a transformer The game of chess is very interesting, it has even been implemented in educational institutions. Internationally there are chess tournament competitions where various countries of the world participate. This is a tool that serves to develop people’s mathematical logical thinking. Also the play means reasoning, strategies and decisions. For this reason, participants should think very well about their movements. In effect this can mean defeat or victory. There is a Disney Channel movie where they show how chess meant the change of life of a group of children from a population of Africa. This production is interesting because it shows how perseverance and discipline can make a difference. Watch this video on YouTube Added to this when people want to leave an indelible mark on people they can do it as was the teacher who trained them and motivated them to move forward. This game of chess should be part of the recreational activities of educational institutions in the world. As we can see the horse has earned a place in chess. Undoubtedly this animal will continue to accompany us in many aspects of the human.

Horse sensitivity: Benefits of good treatment – Gustavo Mirabal Castro

Horse sensitivity Horse sensitivity level We can see that the horse has a huge size. In addition the horse transmits power and strength. However, the degree of horse sensitivity is enormous. That is why horses tend to be a little nervous about any stimulus. If the least, like an insect, can get the horse out of focus. This gives us much to consider. Let us think that all those instruments that the horse deserves so that the human can ride are uncomfortable. Due to the high sensitivity of the horse, it is important to avoid using the fuete as much as possible. We must be as comprehensive as possible and handle the hand to calm it down. What is intended is that the horse understands that it is not a punishment but is being helped to develop.

So if these beautiful animals decide to stay by our side it is a great advance because it means that we do not represent a threat to them. We must remember that the horse in its ancestors was seen as a prey so that fear has it in the genes. Therefore, its alert system is capable of discovering any powerful change that presumes danger. We have already seen that we are going a little bit into the behavior of the horse. From there a starting point is generated to understand a little the intense horse sensitivity and the characteristics of the interaction we institute with the horse. From the aforementioned we realize what it means to confront the great mammal and stamp of freedom. But also of the atrocious fear of being damaged, exhausted in a small stable and annulled from his pack by the human.

A responsibility of life, because it is the life of an animal in this case it can be a dog a horse a bird among others. Excess anesthesia, in addition to turning off pain, can turn off nerve impulses, causing cardiac or respiratory arrest. That is why the doses and combinations of anesthetic drugs are monitored very carefully. This depends on the animal, the breed and its size and weight. That is why the doctor must have a great knowledge about anesthesia. Role of the anesthesiologist in the application of anesthesia in horses The anesthesiologist is the person in charge of ensuring that everything goes well in horse surgery. As an integral and fundamental part of the surgery team, you are committed to monitoring the well-being of the horse while under anesthesia. The veterinarian who applies anesthesia in horses must adjust the needs of each animal in this case of horses. This implies taking into account important aspects such as the medical condition of the horse. Likewise, reactions to anesthesia and demands of surgical intervention. He is a veterinarian who trained in anesthesiology. Its role in the operating room is to ensure comfort during surgery. Also make correct medical decisions to protect the life of the horse they are operating. Anesthesia in horses Monitoring before surgery of the horse Anesthesia and surgical intervention affect the entire horse system, it is important that you be aware of the animal’s conditions. For the application of anesthesia it is required to ask some questions to the owner or person responsible for the horse. The owner must explain in detail what is related to the diseases suffered by the animal and if it is applying any particular medication. On the other hand, the veterinarian will explain to the owner of the animal about the surgery and the type of anesthesia to be applied to the horse to intervene. It is very likely that they perform laboratory tests on the horse this will depend on the complexity of the clinic and the operation. Monitoring horse vital functions Horse surgery Before the start of the surgical intervention, the veterinarian will direct anesthesia in the animal. In this sense, the veterinarian’s mission will focus on controlling vital functions. Among the vital functions to be monitored are heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, body temperature and respiration. Good control and supervision of vital signs guarantees a percentage of the success of the operation on the horse.In addition, another of the primary factors is to be very careful about the replacement of fluids and blood, when necessary.

Continuous medical attention during surgery is necessary for an expedited recovery of the horse. The anesthesiologist veterinarian has the power to deal not only with sudden medical problems related to surgery. In addition it can treat habitual sufferings that require special attention during the surgical intervention of the horse. Throughout this process, the anesthesiologist has the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team so that everything goes well and the operation of the horse is a success. Post operative process The veterinarian in charge of administering the anesthesia will continue the role of care and supervision in the recovery room. There he will direct the personnel that controls the state and vital signs as the sequelae of anesthesia passes. This will also provide when the horse can leave this room. In addition to indicating the medications to certify a prompt and excellent performance. How do you wake up a horse safely?Watch this video on YouTube Types of anesthesia in horses Thiobarbiturates have been used for a long time to induce and maintain short-acting general anesthesia in horses. One of the most used today is the thiopental. Previously, these short-acting hypnotics were used as they were considered the agents of choice to induce short-lived reluctance in anticipated horses. Then, guaifenesin began to be used and, more freshly, xylazine, these were administered simultaneously with barbiturates. Also before the injection of these, to optimize the quality of anesthesia induction and recovery. The progress and innovation of anesthesia in horses facilitated the execution of surgical and therapeutic procedures that require longer hypnosis. How did the application of anesthesia evolve? Anesthesia in horses However, this brought not so positive consequences because as the duration of anesthesia administration was increased, the duration of recovery of it was lengthened. On the other hand, the effectiveness of the recovery became more unpredictable and even difficult for both the animal and the personnel in charge of its management. At present, dissociative anesthetics such as ketamine have lavishly supplied thiobarbiturates in the anesthetic management of horses. This innovation has solidly reformed the quality of anesthesia induction as well as the recovery of the horse. As a consequence that dissociative agents cause an undesirable sequel to exaltation of the central nervous system. The use of these drugs in horses merits the concurrent regency of other drugs to transform behavior such as alpha-2 agonists. Precautions for horse surgeries Many precautions should be taken when a horse is going to undergo surgery. It should be taken into account that the team that will attend to it has the proper management of anesthesia in horses. Since the application of anesthesia in horses is extremely delicate and can compromise the life of the animal.

Are there vaccines for horses ?
Aug14In the world of health the best is prevention and primary care. This also applies to veterinary medicine. So the owner or owner of the animal should be aware of the importance of vaccines for animals that he has at home or on his farm. In this sense we will deepen in relation to vaccines for horses. Si deseas leer una versión en español del artículo de vacunas para caballos pulsa en el vínculo To carry out an exhaustive control, a vaccination form should be used as it is done with humans. This is of utmost importance to keep track of vaccines for horses. This ensures a stricter control and guarantee each of the vaccines and their corresponding reinforcements. The most frequent contagious diseases that affect horses can be caused by different agents. Among them we can mention the following bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa. It should be noted that but viruses and bacteria are the most significant. Viral agents can cause variations in the different systems of the equine. And prevention can avoid many problems. How to vaccinate your horse - 5 Way VaccinationWatch this video on YouTube How vaccines for horses help us? The diagnosis can be predicted according to several factors such as the age of the animal, the season of the year and through the clinical signs. Despite this, to reach a conclusive diagnosis, the results obtained in the laboratory tests are taken into account. All this entails transfers, expenses and inconvenience that can be avoided. Also the animals under quarantine and finally the identification of the viral agent involved. This also implies that the horse ceases to be productive during the disease, diagnosis and healing process. Here are enough reasons for the owner or person responsible for the horses to keep the vaccination scheme on horses up to date. From there you can prevent a large number of diseases in your animals, which in a way will guarantee the success of the horse industry. Vaccine for horses Pathogens that can be prevented by immunizationsEquine Influenza Virus type A (equi1 and equi2). EHV-1 equine herpesvirus (Subtype 1 or fetal strain causes abortion and paralysis, Subtype 2 or respiratory strain Rhinopneumonitis), EHV-2, EHV-3 (Coital Exanthema). Equine Viral Arteritis Virus, Adenovirus and Equine Infectious Anemia Virus.All these agents have the peculiarity of causing a series of signs at the level of the respiratory system very similar. In addition this is accompanied by fever, decay, bilateral rhinitis, dry cough, productive cough, anorexia among others. Vaccinating a horse Against which bacterial agents can the horse be immunized? On the other hand there are also bacterial agents. These are more dangerous for all living beings. While viruses usually have a cycle that closes with healing, bacteria do not heal without treatment. Among the bacterial agents we can mention the following:Streptococcus equi (Papera or Equine adenitis). Clostridium tetani (Tetanus). Salmonella thypimorium (Salmonellosis).The consequences on the horse’s organism are given by subsequent bacterial contamination. This is what causes the most complicated pathophysiological changes. In fact they can be chronic respiratory consequences until abortions in pregnant mares. It should be noted that one of the pathologies of this group that is lethal is the Equine Infectious Anemia virus. This infectious pathology becomes immunosuppressive, so it is chronic and unfortunately has no curative treatment. Consequently, animals that are infected with this serious disease are usually slaughtered. However, not everything is bad because if the owner of the farm takes the necessary provisions regarding vaccines for horses none of this will happen. We can see the scope and negative consequences of these viral diseases so the owner must take appropriate measures to fully comply with the vaccination schedule in all animals that are there.Vaccines for horses of mandatory character To prevent viral and infectious diseases in horses, a vaccination scheme must be followed. According to the laws there are some of which are mandatory. This is because they not only put at risk the horse itself but all the horses (or other animals) that come into contact with it. The focus is to prevent a specific disease from becoming an epidemic, a public health issue. Listed below are mandatory vaccines:Equine encephalomyelitis: Foals should be given 2 doses with 30 days of distance between them. Subsequently, a revaccination should be performed every year. Equine influenza: They should be applied after 3 or 4 months of age. At that time the first dose is given. Then another dose is reapplied after the interval of 2 or 6 weeks. The equine influenza vaccine is required a booster every year. Equine infectious anemia: the positives must be identified by the Coggins Test every 6 months. It should be noted that every animal positive to the test should be slaughtered as soon as possible. This to prevent the disease from spreading causing an epidemic.Optional vaccines As we have already mentioned above, if vaccines for horses are met in the established times and doses, it will be covered for any preventable disease. That is why the obligatory vaccines have already been mentioned, however, the optional type vaccines are also found, that is, the owner can make the decision to place them or not.Tetanus: Three doses are applied to foals two to six months old. Then adult horses are placed once annually. To the mares in the tenth month of gestation. Equine adenitis: It is applied after weaning, that is, after six months two to three doses. In adult horses two vaccines per year Equine rhinopneumonitis: they are essentially supplied to pregnant mares in the fifth, sixth and seventh months of gestation. While at the colts 2 doses with pause of 4 weeks and subsequent reinforcement at 6 months. Equine infectious abortion: they are supplied to pregnant mares in the fourth, sixth and eighth month of gestation.As we can see this immunization scheme is flexible and the owner of the horses can make the decision to supply them or not. However, for prevention reasons you should apply them. In this way they are covering themselves for any eventuality. Additionally they also reduce complications and future expenses. It is also a topic that you can consult with your trusted veterinarian and this will indicate the options. Equine Vaccinations: The 6-Way VaccineWatch this video on YouTube Yes there are vaccines for horses, and they are important !!

This is because vaccines prevent the most frequent diseases in horses. These diseases are: tetanus, brain myelitis, influenza, rhinopneumonitis, rabies, equine adenitis. Also other frequent diseases are West Nile Virus and Potomac horse fever. Vaccines in horses are a transcendental part of the proper management of farm animals. In addition, if the corresponding measures are taken, such as habitual deworming, extensive provision of drinking water. Also the application of a good nutrition program and a positive environment. All these actions will result in the welfare of the animals that are housed in the farm.

This institution has the homologation of the Royal Spanish Equestrian Federation. Well, this has required preparation work to access the passage of horses through difficult mountain shortcuts. The advantage of this test is that it admits and guarantees that any rider can make the route freely and autonomously. In fact you will find along the way the precise water points and protections for the horses. The tour consists of eight stages in a ride of 18 kilometers in total. This experience gives us impressive views that will leave tourists wanting to repeat the route of the Holy Grail. In this the horse takes center stage because it is used as a means of transport for the route made. Role of the horse in the Route of the Holy Grail is of the utmost importance because it is not just the feeling of having direct contact with nature. This tour is also about the bond that is created with the horse during the Holy Grail tour. The participant will appreciate the usefulness of the horse as a means of transport and in turn value this beautiful animal. Well, your contribution is invaluable during the itinerary that Pyrenees Equestrian performs. This tradition draws people’s attention so it becomes an attraction to encourage and exploit equestrian tourism in Spain. As well as its surrounding areas and other regions of the country. Of course respecting the harmony of the environment. Well, this to some extent guarantees that your landscapes remain preserved and in good condition. Meaning of the Holy GrailThe Holy Grail is the vessel used by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. The analogy between the Grail, the Chalice and Joseph of Arimathea comes from the work of Robert de Boront Joseph d’Arimathie. This was disclosed in the twelfth century. According to this story, Jesus, already revived, appears to Joseph to grant him the Grail and prescribe him to take him to the island of Britain. According to this tradition, some authors maintain the position stating that Joseph used the chalice to store the blood and water derived from the bruise opened by the spear on the side of Christ. Then, in Britain, a caste of custodians was instituted to keep it safe and hidden. That is why the search for the Holy Grail is a significant element in the stories related to King Arthur. Other legends about the Grail are intertwined with those referring to the other ancient cups that are considered the Holy Chalice. Equestrian tourism in Spain We can see that Spain has wonderful landscapes that people can enjoy through horseback riding. For this there are several companies that provide this type of services. Likewise, this seems to expand in different countries, as it is becoming increasingly popular. Nature tourists love to have direct contact with nature, and if it is with animals then even more. What should be taken into account is what type of routes they want to undertake long as in the case of the Holy Grail, medium or short. We must consider that long routes such as the Holy Grail will require much more foresight than medium and short rums. Likewise, physical preparation can be more demanding. Hence, you must be prepared with appropriate clothing for the occasion. In the best possible way you have to take the corresponding preventive measures in case they are beginners.
