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. Painting of Han Gan 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. Stubbs - Whistlejacket | Art Reproduction Oil PaintingWatch this video on YouTube 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. Whistlejacket by George Stubbs 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.

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 2016Watch 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 horsesIshbak 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 Ishbak Shehadeh 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 1Watch 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.

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 activityIt 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.
