Nutrition to prevent diseases in horses (I)

Nutrition to prevent diseases in horses (Part I)

“We are what we eat”

The famous phrase “we are what we eat” is by Ludwig Feuerbach, a German philosopher and anthropologist. Hippocrates said “Let your medicine be food, and medicine your food.” Feuerbach and Hippocrates agree indicating the importance of adequate nutrition in the maintenance of health.

This works perfectly for all living beings and in this case we are mainly interested in the case of horses. Since horses have changed sedentary habits in front of their ancestors their nutrition is more important. Likewise, horses decide how much, when and how to eat so we must learn to give them a good diet.

The prevention of four (4) diseases through proper nutrition

Much of the prevention of different diseases of the horse reside in the diet, as can hygiene and control by a veterinarian. Through this series of articles we will learn more about the prevention of four diseases through food. In this first part we will know the first two: The horse bean and equine colic.

The Lampas on horses

Let’s start with a disease that we had not previously treated in our blog. The first on our list is the disease called Lampas . We are talking about an inflammation of the hard palate and gums, produced in the arch of the incisors. The bean is a palatogingivitis. It hinders the process of chewing the horse.

The cause of the Lampas is nutrition with poor quality forage. Use too fibrous or thorny forage which is embedded in the space between the teeth of the horse. To avoid this disease, it is recommended to select the forage properly and consult the veterinarian to tell us the anti-inflammatories that we will administer while the disease persists.

Horse colic

In previous articles we talked about equine colic and it is a very common gastrointestinal disease that can cause serious problems in the horse, including death. As you know, the horse has many digestive problems.

The horse has a large intestine and a small stomach that determines its ability to process food. This digestive system worked perfectly adapted to the customs of grazing and walking of the ancestral horse.

The current horse encased in stables requires modifications in its nutrition to avoid the multiple diseases that can be derived from the lack of care. Many times, colic is related to nutrition errors, derived from the quality and quantity in the food intake.

The dietary imbalance, either by shortage or by excess, can generate colic. Also the excess of foods rich in proteins, energy or whose fiber is indigestible. The amount of daily meals is also key to avoid this disease. The horse must eat many times a day and not a large meal. Paliando these food errors, it is much more likely that our friend does not suffer from this disease.

In the next article we will discuss the importance of nutrition to prevent two very common diseases: Equine disease on Monday and equine laminitis. I hope you follow us and take advantage to give a better life to your horse.

In the animal world, hierarchy is the guarantee for the obedience of the individuals in the herd. The horse in this case is not the exception. It is essential that the horse accepts the leadership of the humans who care for him, train him or ride him.

Horse rider and Jockey

A rider makes reference in English and other languages to the person riding a horse or to the person skilled in equitation. Mainly if this is related to their most frequent tasks (muleteers, tamers, among others). In the case of referring to women on horseback, the words “amazon” or “rider” are used.

History of the horse riders

The “zenetha” or zenetas or carrots were a “tribe” of Berbers who during the Middle Ages rivaled another no less important one, that of the Zenegui.

According to the hypothesis of some experts, the zenethas were configured as an ethnic group in the Western Sahara and on the northern margin of the Senegal River. Especially after the Arab invasion. Such an invasion would have forced them to adopt as part of their tactics the use with great skill first of the camels and camels. From his experience with the type of agile and light Arabian horse. The evolution of these riders was important in the Maghreb and, from the 8th century, in medieval Spain dominated by the Arabs.

Etymology of “Rider”

The origin of the word “Rider” comes from:

  • Late Old English rīdere ‘mounted warrior, knight’
  • Middle French rider, from Old French rider (to wrinkle),
  • Old High German rīdan, wrīdan (to turn; twist; wind; wring; wind up; wrench)

Now, how to be a good horse rider?

To be a good rider requires a lot of discipline, because when we train in these activities we must devote a lot of time to our intellectual and emotional preparation.

Horse Rider

Jockey

A jockey is a horse rider who competes in horse races.

What are the characteristics that a Jockey must possess?

The average jockey has a light but athletic constitution. The weight that, in general, ranges between 49 and 54 kg. It is worth noting that according to the racing regulations and according to the race, the horses run with a weight of 48 to 61 kg, including the jockey team.

Although there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually quite low due to weight limits. Usually, they measure between 1.47 m and 1.68 m.

In this order of ideas, some schools of apprentice jockeys set the maximum limit for their entry, 22 years of age, 1.60 m height and 50 kg of weight.

Where does the word Jockey come from?

The word jockey was originally a diminutive of Scottish proper name Jack, so it could be translated as Jhonny. It is also used generically for “boy or partner”, at least since the 1520s. Since the 1660s it was used to designate the person who rides horses in races, that is, the rider. In American English slang, it is used as a diminutive of jock (athletic man).

In Spanish the use of this word is admitted as an Anglicism although purists recommend using the equivalent of jockey in Spanish.

Interesting note!

Usually the Jockeys are not employees, but are chosen by the trainers and horse owners for a salary plus an extra amount for victory. At the same time, in the races, the colors of the horse stable stand out.

Eve Jobs - Amazon

Eve Jobs – The heiress of Steve Jobs

 No Comments

Feb06

Eve Jobs is one of the 4 heirs of Steve Jobs, the technological visionary and computer mogul. While her reputation is largely due to her father, Eve has been the most mediatic of her 4 children.

Today we will know the life of Eve Jobs, her passions, and what has made her famous: to be an excellent amazon.

Let’s get to know her life a bit and how to raise a man like Steve Jobs to one of the most mediatic Amazons.

Eve Jobs winner of the Countryfrog 4* Longines Rankings Class

Who is Steve Jobs, the father of Eve Jobs?

Steven Paul Jobs, better known as Steve Jobs, is a guru, visionary and technological entrepreneur. Businessman, magnate of the computer and entertainment sector. Known initially for founding Apple and creating the Machintosh, he stood out for innovating in each step.

Jobs and Wozniak
Jobs and Wozniak

The greatest achievements of Steve Jobs that made him a cult figure were:

  • He created the first personal microcomputer produced on a large scale.
  • At the beginning of 1984 his company launched the Macintosh 128K. The Macintosh was the first successful personal computer that used a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse.
  • He was expelled from the company he founded because of differences with the board of directors.
  • Steve Jobs founded in February 1986 Pixar Animation with the acquisition of The Graphics Group, 40 of its employees and the capitalization of 5 million dollars
  • He received the National Medal of Technology from President Ronald Reagan.
  • He returned to the company he founded in 1997 to rescue her from bankruptcy.
  • In its second stage at Apple I create the following products: i-mac, iTunes Store, ipod, iphone and ipad. All iconic and successful products.
  • In the USA 323 patents of Steve Jobs appear on behalf of Apple.

As we can see, the shadow of Steve Jobs on his children is huge. Now how was Steve Jobs in his personal life.

Eve Jobs as the daughter of Steve Jobs.

Eve Jobs
Eve Jobs

Steve Jobs had a first daughter named Lisa with the artist Chris-Ann Brennan which he did not recognize until he was forced to a paternity test by a judge. Despite them and before their recognition, Lisa called one of the personal computers created in its first stage at Apple. Before recognizing her, Chis-Ann and Lisa survived with the help of social assistance. After recognizing her, she paid five hundred dollars a month for the maintenance of the girl.

With this background we could worry, but his relationship with his second wife and his other 3 children was totally different.

In 1991, Steve Jobs married Laurene Powell, whom he met at Stanford University. They lived in Palo Alto, California with their three children. Eve Jobs is the youngest of her three children. The older brothers of Eve Jobs are Erin Siena Jobs and Reed Jobs.

One of the most controversial statements of Steve Jobs is that he did not let his children use the iPad and social networks. When Steve Jobs was director of Apple, he forbade his children to spend too much time manipulating iPads and iPhones. … “They have not used it,” Jobs replied. “We limit the amount of technology children can use at home.” Something contradictory, but consistent with its controlling and dominant facet.

How is the life of Eve Jobs?

He was born on April 30, 1998, the year in which his father launches the iMac. Far from following in her father’s footsteps in the technological world, Eve preferred to work and dedicate herself to her great hobby, which is horses.

It is a media celebrity, whose Instagram account has more than 500 thousand followers.

“Horse riding helps keep you humble. (…) That taught me independence, dedication and perseverance “

Eve Jobs

Jobs follows a rigorous training routine at his mother’s Florida ranch. This ranch is valued at more than 15 million dollars. An impressive center in which the young woman has a house with four rooms, stable for 20 horses and a complete circuit of jumps.

It is noteworthy that among the hundreds of publications that Eve Jobs has in her Instagram account, she does not have any pictures with her father … Maybe that gives us an idea of the kind of relationship that was forged in her house.

Beyond all, the strong character of Steve Jobs left a mark on Eve. Thanks to this she is one of the most important amazons and she continues to advance in her rise in the equestrian world. The equestrian world is hard work and dedication and Eve Jobs took it from her father.

An Effort Model

This Venezuelan rider is an example of effort, perseverance, love, perseverance, discipline and tolerance.

These characteristics make him an integral and determined person. Thus, it becomes a worthy example for future generations, who have horsemanship as a sport and lifestyle.

Gustavo Mirabal a respected professional

Mirabal Castro studied law at the Santa María University (Venezuelan institution), where he obtained the title of Lawyer in 1988.

Then, he worked in recognized organizations such as Británica de Seguros, C. A, Seguros Horizonte, S.A. and the Banco Construcción.

It is worth recognizing that as a born entrepreneur, he had his own law firm called: Mirabal & Asociados, S.C. Which is located in the city of Caracas (Venezuela).

This office offers services related to the commercial, commercial, and tax areas. In addition, everything related to intellectual property, foreign investment and foreign exchange advice, litigation, finance and capital markets.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro faces envy, old professional relationships with people who did not meet their ethical standards and personal vendettas. In spite of this, success is imposed, which is inconceivable. Gustavo is imposed despite an unequal struggle with many “dark” interests

Gustavo Mirabal and his “dirty job” in equestrian sport

 No Comments

Feb04

Sport has a relevant role in society.

The enormous social value of sport and what athletes and former athletes can contribute to society. In fact there is no other discipline that has the power to drag and unite large masses like sports. This is how the world of equestrianism is still present in the Olympics. In many countries this type of competition is carried out.

That is why Gustavo Mirabal Castro of G & C Farm talks about the performance of sports in the development of society. Gustavo Mirabal, who is also an equestrian jumping rider, calls himself “amateur”. But something has shown that in the time it has founded G & C Farm, is that the passion for the equestrian world goes beyond a hobby and has become rather, a lifestyle.

Below we can see the route taken by the Spanish Olympic rider Sergio Alvarez Moya on G & C Arrayan. G & C Arrayan is one of the horses trained by Gustavo Mirabal. We can see the excellent performance of the pair, product of the partnership between Gustavo and Sergio. Sport is a value of society despite the fact that promoting it is a little recognized work. Gustavo does not mind getting his hands dirty a bit and promoting the sport by doing his “dirty” jobs

Horse farm idea of Gustavo Mirabal

The G & C Farm project was born from a dream, during their studies in the United States. During their studies, he participated in the equestrian jump team of the institute. Almost 30 years later “the farm” is a reality product of the combined effort of those who carry this project forward. From there Gustavo Mirabal has served as president of G & C Farm.

Gustavo Mirabal has carried out different tasks such as the promotion and marketing of society. In addition to the establishment of strategic commercial alliances for the fulfillment of the activities and objectives of G & C Farm, among others.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro and the equestrian world

The dedication and commitment that his wife María Carolina Mirabal and Gustavo Mirabal Castro have dedicated to G & C Farm is what materialized this great project. This is how they have managed to have excellent facilities, not only suitable, but adequate for the riders to have everything at their disposal. Therefore, achieve the professional goals set in equestrian sport.

On the other hand G & C Farm has managed to establish commercial alliances with riders of the stature of Sergio Alvarez Moya currently number one in Spain. Fact that makes the surname Mirabal begin to “sound” in this country as an important ally of the sport.

Gustavo Mirabal also has the support of Gustavo Arroyo the important Venezuelan rider. Arroyo returns with strength after suffering an injury that separated him for a while from the competitions. Gustavo Arroyo competes in this discipline since he was 11 years old.

Promotion of equestrian sport from G & C Farm

The equestrian sport if you see it from outside can seem very nice. But behind the elegance and strength of horses there are people who do not give up. This are people with values forged through discipline.

Constancy, the study of technique and commitment are necessary. This is the great learning that sports in general leave us. While the world seems to reward only talent, the reality is that hard work beats talent when it does not strive

Gustavo Mirabal Castro from Spain continues to promote sports and establish alliances. He is currently the victim of a media campaign against him. However, keep going as he should be like a warrior …

Gustavo Mirabal Castro from Spain continues to promote sports and establish alliances. He is currently the victim of a media campaign against him due to his previous professional relationships with people who did not adhere to the ethical standards of the Venezuelan rider. Likewise, personal vendettas have united to discredit him. However, keep going as he should be like a warrior …

Peruvian Harness

Peruvian Apero or Harness

 No Comments

Feb03

The Peruvian Apero is the set of harnesses or accoutrements that the horse carries, conformed by the following elements elaborated all in leather and by hand by fine Peruvian saddlers who adorn it with fine pieces of silver such as:

  • Estribos (stirrups)
  • Pellón
  • Manea
  • Pecho petral (petral chest)
  • Bajador (dropper)
  • Lazo (Tie)
  • Chicote
  • Espuelas (Spurs)

Next we will describe each one of the parts of the Peruvian Apero or arreo.

MUSEO DEL APERO DEL CABALLO PERUANO DE PASO

The stirrups of the Peruvian Apero

This serves for the chalan to support the feet. The Peruvian stirrup is made of plain or carved corrugated box, handmade in olive, guanábano, orange, pacae or arabisco wood, with pieces of silver or other metal. The shape is truncated pyramid and is unique in America. It has four obligatory fixed toes, two perpendicular rods, a fixed piece called “campana” (bell in english) from which comes another in the form of a hand in which the spike is placed. In the side mount, a stirrup leather or styled leather stirrup called a sneaker is used. You can wear ornaments of precious stones and the initials of their owner.

The pellón of the Peruvian Apero

It is one of the most unique pieces of our tool and only exists in our country. It is a handmade woolen cloak of trapezoidal shape that is placed on the frame to give greater comfort to the chalán. The most valuable is the pellón of San Pedro de Lloc, hence the name of Sampedrano, although also that of Chota is highly valued. It is made with finely finished lamb’s wool strands in one or two ends. Therefore, its value depends on the fineness of the braided strands.

The manea of Peruvian Apero

Piece of common braid that serves to lock the horse and prevent it from moving when it is dismantled and there is no appropriate place to tie it. It consists of two pieces, which at their ends have a pin and a button joined by a ring.

The chest petral Peruvian Apero

It is a piece of strong leather that comes out of the half of the strap forward and forks to the sides by means of a ring, before joining the saddle. It is widely used in the saw to prevent the saddle from rolling backwards. The prize given to the champions in the competitions, is also called «pecho petral» (Petral Chest in english), although it does not serve for this purpose.

The bajador or dropper of the Peruvian Apero

It is a strong leather strap two centimeters wide that is placed half of the strap forward and passes under the tuning that fits the muzzle. This also forces the horse to face properly when sitting.

The tie of the Peruvian Apero

It is braided leather with more than four strands. The tie measures from ten to twelve meters and serves to lacerate or pialar an animal. It has a metal ring on one end and on the other, a non-braided sueded leather in the shape of an ear, which is secured to a button on the end of the loop.

The chicote of the Peruvian Apero

Start with a 0.40 m long orange or yoke handle or rope, linked to a piece of flat 0.20 m leather that continues with a 1.20 m long braided piece, followed by another of 0.80 m and ends with the prop in several points of cabuya or twisted mane. Likewise, it is used for cattle herders.

The spurs of the Peruvian Apero

They are the accessory of the clothing of the chalán. It is white metal or silver. They can be flat, carved or bevelled with an onion tip or snake head where the rosette is placed. This one is of iron with five points for greater punishment, or six to diminish it. It has a strap with holes and a double buckle with pin and toe. Complement the spur, the heel of embossed leather, like that of the saddle. There are snore spurs because they make noise and are suitable for dull animals; and others, called tomboy. In general they serve to spur the horse. The weight of the spurs should be 500 grams of silver.

The Peruvian Apero is an element of the national equestrian tradition. It is born with the horse of passage and stays in the heart of the nation. Some like the pellón have ancestry in the tradition of some regions as in this case it is preserved in San Pedro de Lloc and makes it more valuable for its tradition and technique. Apart from its functionality, the Peruvian Apero gives us knowledge about the tradition and aesthetics associated with the equestrian world. And is that the tradition and history of man are associated with the horse, his eternal companion.
