The relationship of the human being with equines from different perspectives allows our connection. Links of affective order, perspectives with therapeutic aims and above all approaches to achieve the mobilization of the human being, which have been applied in a historical way. In order to achieve the link between the horse and humans, the process known as equestrian dressage is carried out. However, making this interaction happen implies a complex and patient work. This prepares the horse for specific tasks that benefit man. Dressage To this end, there are people with great capacity, knowledge and mostly with love for horses that specialize in equestrian dressage. These specialists are called horse tamers or horse trainers. The term “horse tamer” is used specially in Clasical Dressage. The equestrian taming is understood as a set of activities that the tamer develops to condition the horse. This allows that in its nature it passes from being a wild animal to a specimen it can mount a human. Accordingly, once the animal is comfortable with the rider, he begins a greater training. Advanced training prepares the equine in specific disciplines. Necessary conditions for dressage: One of the indispensable aspects in these training activities is that the tamer gains the confidence of the animal. In this way the horse will not consider it a danger and will allow the link. If not, it is likely that the animal can be easily altered and generate greater consequences. Another aspect to consider, are the indispensable cares like the feeding and the medical controls. It is also essential that the place where the animal lives be in hygienic conditions. In the same way it is very healthy that the horse shares with other animals since this will provide greater security. Types of Dressage: Now there are different methods to get a copy enjoy passivity, when being mounted by a human being. Here are some types of dressage: Traditional dressage (“buckaroo” or vaquero-style cowboy tradition / “gaucha”): Traditional or “gaucha” dressage , which has been used throughout history. It is characterized by the following procedure: 1- The animal is tied, its eyes are covered, it is placed all the clothing (reins, bridles, stirrups, and saddle). 2- Next, the tamer rides the equine using shoes with spurs; later he removes the bandage. 3- Finally, the tamer whips the equine repeatedly and makes use of the strength of his legs. The horse is disturbed with the intention that the animal is exhausted quickly, and begin to obey. After the representation of this scenario, it is possible to appreciate that it is a very violent and risky activity for both the tamer and the horse, which can trigger serious consequences that affect even the physical conditions of both. Natural dressage / Natural horsemanship: Human-Horse Bond Secondly, in the equestrian dressage one has the natural dressage, or also called rational or Indian. This method differs from the previous since it looks for to understand more to the horse. This understanding makes the tamer establish links gradually in the foal, through expressions of love, brushing teeth, clean their helmets, among others. Basically, it is sought that the tamer from the care interact with the animal and earn their trust. However, it requires activities such as:The animal is brought to a circular pen, where it will share a few hours with the trainer; Then the horse must be desensitized, touching it in the whole body. In the case of being used for equinotherapy it is necessary that little by little he knows the objects and the horse realizes from this process that they do not represent any danger for him, therefore the horse must smell them and feel the corresponding textures. Also, after the previous situation, it is placed a noose around his neck, that is, he is harnessed. There it is pertinent, that the tamer begins to make displacements, and little it teaches to him different voices of control so that it makes march and gallops. Finally, the two actions of this type of dressage consist of the tamer mounting the animal without a mount once it is more coordinated. To then incorporate the chair.Finally, first of all we must ensure the integrity of the horse as an animal that deserves to be treated with respect. Perhaps the methods require a little more patience and time but they will maintain the links that are born from the equestrian taming.

The horse in the movie “Hidalgo” “Hidalgo” is an American film from 2004, belonging to the adventure genre. It was directed by Joe Johnston and starring Viggo Mortensen, Zuleikha Robinson and Omar Sharif. Summary of the movie Hidalgo Hidalgo The film was based on a true story about the most important long distance horse race. Hidalgo is an epic adventure story. It is also an action film that tells the story of a man to recover his dignity. This race, called the Ocean of Fire, was held every year for centuries. It was a test of survival of 3,000 miles through the Arabian desert. Which was a real challenge that only the best Arabian horses could overcome, the purest and noblest race, property of the powerful royal dynasties. In 1890, a rich sheikh invited an American and his horse to participate for the first time in the race. Frank T. Hopkins was a cowboy. In turn an expedition rider belonging to the United States Cavalry Corps declared the best rider in the history of the West. The sheikh wanted to test his pretensions. Facing the American horseman and his horse, Hidalgo, against the best Arabian horses and the best Bedouin riders. For Frank, in the Ocean of Fire, not only was his pride and honor at stake, but also his survival since both he and his horse were trying to make an impossible feat possible. Highlights The producers of Hidalgo were delighted at the prospect of shooting the film. This film was characterized as a mixture of action, adventures and the story of a man’s journey towards his redemption. It should be noted that the setting of the story is an exciting horse race, but the genuine race is what a man does to forgive himself. Critics “Hidalgo” is a throwback to a more innocent time when heroes and their horses risked everything just because life was so damned boring in the slow lane. The movie is a completely fictionalized version of the life of a real cowboy named Frank T. Hopkins; a moment’s research on the Web will suggest that an accurate portrait of his life would have been much more brief and very depressing.” Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times The real man behind “Hidalgo” Frank T. Hopkins Borned in August 11, 1865. Hopkins said he was born to a Lakota mother and European-American father, that he grew up in both cultures, and that he learned to ride and care for horses at an early age. Was an American professional horseman who at one time performed with the Ringling Brothers Circus. He was supposedly a legendary long-distance rider, who won 400 races but there is no evidence that support it. He was recognized by his contemporaries as supporting the preservation of the mustang. In 1926 Hopkins was foreman of a construction crew, digging a subway tunnel in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is a marriage certificate that Hopkins signed in New York in 1929 where his age was put at 44 which, if true, would place his birth in 1885. However, the photograph shown, said to have been taken in 1905, seems to show the appearance of a middle-aged man. Frank died on  November 5, 1951. His body is interred in Lutheran All Faiths Cemetery in Middle Village, Queens County, New York.

The oral health of animals is as important as that of human beings. Except that horses can not brush their teeth and do dental cleaning rituals as a habit. So you have to resort to expert professionals in the field. These experts periodical reviews of the animal’s teeth. In the case of the horse they only check their teeth, but they do the cleaning. In case of any condition in the mouth, the professional will indicate the necessary medication for recovery. Equine dentistry is the practice of dentistry in horses. Equine dentistry involve the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity. In some jurisdictions, the practice of equine dentistry may be restricted only to specialists, whereas in others it is not controlled. For a horse, its mouth, is the beginning of a long, complex and delicate digestive system, as well as its fundamental “wheel” at the time of being mounted. In addition, their teeth are their “hands” with which to defend themselves and “catch something” among others.This, together with the continuous growth and wear of the teeth, makes periodic inspection of the mouth by a specialist veterinarian indispensable. For this reason we will address everything related to equine dentistry. The purpose of Equine Dentistry Today, riders and breeders begin to show greater concern for the dental health of their horses. So, Equine Dentistry resurges with the strength it deserves. Today, you can talk about the dentist as one of the key professionals in the care of the horse.

It is not a new science, there are bibliographies and instruments of work quite advanced at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the horse was a key element in the life of man: motor at work and usual means of travel. Equine Dentistry Equine dentistry in horses under 5 years old. Like humans, horses between 2 and a half years and 5 years after the change of the “milk” dentition by the permanent one should be reviewed every 4 and 6 months. In this period they should be checked more frequently, especially in the case of racehorses. Some of the functions of equine dentistry in horses under 5 years are:Liminate the premolars and molars adequately depending on the horse: age, use, specific alterations … in the cases that are necessary. To control the eruption of milk teeth and its subsequent replacement by permanent ones in the case of the incisors and premolars performing the appropriate treatment in the event that alterations occur in this process (very frequent). If not treated at this time, they may lead to serious alterations. Control the eruption of the molars, as well as the fangs in the case of the males (and the females that can present them). In the event that specific alterations occur, perform the appropriate treatment.Equine dentistry in horses over 5 years old.The revision of the mouth should be made between 6 and 12 months depending on: -Age: the younger the growth rate is higher and the formation of the tips will be faster. In addition, those for sports use should be checked frequently.Equine dentistry in geriatric horses: In these animals the speed of eruption is less, but the alterations may be in a more advanced state. Older horses, whether they ride or not, they should be checked once a year.
