The horse in “Hidalgo”
Dec22The 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.

Equitation in middle age The Horse in Ancient Times In the Bronze Age humanity saw that the horse could become a very useful animal. In this way the horse was integrated as a fundamental element in his daily tasks. Likewise, in the Ancient Age the horse was used for war. The main armies counted on cavalry. At this time appears the first horse famous in history: Bucéfalo, the horse of Alexander the Great, hunted and tamed by him. Also in the Middle Ages was characterized by the Spanish cavalry or “School of Knights”. In those institutions, men and knights were formed to act in combat and war. After a long time and many battles, the steed was used in tournaments and horse games for peacetime, to train for wartime. Thus, equitation is born as a sport.

Equine dentistry
Dec19The 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.

Marengo, Napoleon Bonaparte’s horse
Dec19Throughout history, there have been characters who have left their mark. Napoleon Bonaparte is one of the most outstanding characters in European history. He was an European ruler and military, arrived at Emperor of France thanks to his political ability and his military feats…Napoleon Bonaparte owes much of his military success to Marengo … but who is it? The amount of historical information about Marengo, the horse of Napoleon Bonaparte, makes us think about the historical role of the horse. Currently the horse is not in a relevant role in history but when we look back we discover that our world was sculpted at the trot of a steed. Marengo At the beginning of the 19th century, any military feat had to involve the horse as a means of transportation and military technology. The horse played a fundamental role for the movement of troops. With Napoleón Bonaparte, the protagonist horse was Marengo. Napoleon is known to have been one of the greatest conquerors in history. But he never went alone. He always rode on a horse. One of the most special was Marengo, a beautiful horse of Arab race. Step into history for being the most famous of all the horses of Napoleon Bonaparte. Marengo, an exceptional horse, stood out in Napoleon’s stable, which consisted of about 130 horses for his personal use. Some of his most famous steeds were also Vizir and Blanco. Characteristics of MarengoIt was a strong and imposing horse Small height, average approximately 1.45 meters. Marengo was a horse of Arab breed. It was named Marengo in honor of the Battle of Marengo in which the French imperial armies won in the town of Marengo in Italy on July 14, 1800 Marengo was imported from Egypt in 1800 (the same year as the battle of Marengo) This steed that lived around 38 years from 1793 to 1831.Facts about the life of MarengoIt was a very intelligent horse, and also very fast. In just five hours, Napoleon Bonaparte traveled on the back of Marengo the 130 kilometers away that separates Valladolid from Burgos. Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte rode on Marengo in the following battles: Austerlitz, Jena, Wagram, and at the Battle of Waterloo. Marengo, was wounded eight times in his career. It is important to note that Marengo was one of the survivors of the withdrawal from Moscow in 1812. The stallion was captured in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo by William Henry Francis Petre, 11th Baron Petre. Henry Francis Petre sold Marengo to the infantry regiment of the Grenadier Guards, and they transferred him to a farm in Somerset where he lived quietly and happily until the end of his days. He lived around 38 years, between 1793 and 1831. His skeleton is in the National Army Museum of Sandhurst.Marengo Death of the Marengo Horse After Marengo’s death, the owners gave up their skeleton for the historical value that it had to the Sandhurst National Army Museum. However, they stayed with the front hooves. An artisan embossed them in silver until they were converted into two decorative boxes. One of these pieces ended up in the museum, but the other was missing for almost 200 years. For its part, the skeleton of Marengo, which was restored and temporarily relocated on the occasion of the celebration of the second centenary of the Battle of Waterloo, remains one of the attractions of the British Army Museum, although its front helmets rest in different places. Anecdotal note It is worth noting that Napoleon Bonaparte had approximately 130 horses for his personal use. Most of their equines were gray, bay or sorrel. His favorite horses were Arabs, the Bavarians and the Russians. In this order of ideas, Napoleon gave classic or mythological names to his horses. Among those names are Cyrus, Taurus, Tamerlane, Nero and Cerberé. In addition it granted names to them of geographic places or important victories, so much that Cyrus was red-baptize like Austerlitz, a Friedland a Wagram, a Montevideo and a Cordova. Others received more creative names such as Roitelet, Intendant and Coquet.
