We have seen the horse in the fine arts, such as in painting, sculpture and also in cinema and comics. Today it’s the turn of the horse in the music and the so-called work songs or farm work songs. The role of the horse in music, whether as a symbol or as a protagonist, is impressive. Without further ado, let’s get started. The horse is present in much of the art. Their presence is even reflected in the cave paintings of the Ekai caves. These equestrian paintings in Ekai date back to 6,000 BC and are considered world heritage. Likewise, horse has played a very important role in the history of humanity as a means of transport or as an agricultural or war tool. And just as the horse has accompanied humanity, so the horse began to take its role as a protagonist. In this way, he began to appear alongside the man in his different facets. This is how the horse took a leading role in human society and was reflected along with man as one of its best companions. We can also observe the representation of the horse in the sculpture through the equestrian statues. A good example of equestrian sculpture is the equestrian sculpture of King Philip III. Thus, we can find examples in each of man’s artistic expressions. While it is true that the modern world has taken us away from the horse, it is also true that the memory of humanity remains. Let’s learn a little more about the role of the horse in music and some of its best representatives. Los Melódicos - Caballo Viejo - 1998Watch this video on YouTubeTable of Contents. ToggleThe Horse in MusicSome Musical Works Inspired by the HorseThe Horse in English MusicThe Horse in Music The Horse in Music It may sound strange to sing a song or listen to music inspired by or dedicated to horses. The truth is that in areas where the horse remains an integral part of the community, this is quite common. In Latin America, for example, in rural areas the horse is still part of transport and agricultural production. This is the case in rural areas where agricultural production is not industrialized and/or automated. The horse continues to be a protagonist outside the cities and large cities. Perhaps this is why its artistic representation has been somewhat abandoned. However, the horse, apart from being a great cog in rural communities, is also a symbol. For ancient societies, the horse is synonymous with strength, loyalty, and fertility. These symbols remain even though the presence of the horse is becoming less and less present in modern society. This is how the horse continues to predominate in the rural areas of Spain and Latin America. Recently, wild horses in the U.S. have been the subject of controversy because they affect livestock and agriculture in several states. There we will find great musical works inspired by the horse. Without further ado, let’s get started. The Horse in Music Some Musical Works Inspired by the Horse There are songs that give us strength, that are metaphors or that move us. So we have decided to show a wide selection of songs inspired by horses. For Gustavo Mirabal, in his homeland there are two distinguished representatives of the horse in music, which are “La muerte del Rucio Moro” and “Caballo Viejo”. Almost any Venezuelan will know what they are talking about when they mention these songs. Both have become part of the musical tradition of the Venezuelan plains, although their singer-songwriters are quite recent. Below is a short list of some of its best representatives in the Spanish language:La Muerte del Rucio Moro” (The Death of Dapple Moor). Lyrics, music and interpretation by Reinaldo Armas. “Caballo Viejo” or Old Horse. Lyrics, music and interpretation by Simón Díaz: This is such a famous song that it has at least 300 versions to its credit. Different languages and rhythms alike. Caballo Prieto Azabache (Dark Jet Horse). Lyrics, music and interpretation by Antonio Aguilar: It has also been performed by Vicente Fernández. El cantador (The singer). Lyrics, music and interpretation by Antonio Aguilar: This song has also been performed by Vicente Fernández. El corrido del caballo blanco (The Corrido of the White Horse). Lyrics, music and interpretation by José Alfredo Jiménez. El mejor caballo (The best horse). Lyrics, music and interpretation by Yeison Jiménez.Undoubtedly, songs in Spanish have great exponents both in compositions and performers. We also leave you a small list below of songs in English.

Finally, we also mention a curious production called “Babieca Hiede” by Los Ganglios. Part psychedelic, part homage to the Babieca Horse, one of the best known in history, we certainly don’t recommend it, but for those who are curious, we leave the thorn in your side.

It is worth noting that he had few provisions and accessories necessary for camping, as did some of his soldiers. However, they did not wish to be at the mercy of the impossible sun and the fierce desert climate. Then they decided to take the risk of returning to the nearest town that was located seven leagues away from where they were. The rest of the soldiers were left behind, since their horses were very exhausted. Villa’s horse managed to complete the entire journey in one day.

It is estimated that it is between 4 and 7 km. In the Anglo-Saxon metric system the league measures 4.83 Km In this case a league is approximately 6 kilometers which is what an average horse travels. Having a productivity per horse of 30 kilometers per day (5 leagues) without having problems with the trip. Through this you can explain the distances that exist between town and town in most of the Mexican territory. For the convenience of the villagers, they built the neighboring villages at a distance of one day on horseback.

Alexander Technique on horseback Riding

In the world of horseback riding, fundamental aspects must be taken into account, such as: appropriate clothing and correct posture when riding a horse. For this important reason, a technique called Alexander riding was born by its creator Veronique Bartin. L’équitation par la technique Alexander – Alexander Riding – Véronique Bartin Alexander Riding Concept This technique of psychophysical re-education aims to restore the proper use of the body through the conscious avoidance of harmful habits such as those associated with undue tension and bad posture. This entails in those who practice it a constant unlearning of bad habits and body postures and learning to maintain the correct postures. The Alexander technique is an approach to the horse that involves more sensitivity than technique. It is a technique that champions mobility, looseness and flexibility both internally and externally. It arouses in the rider a curiosity about his own body, a physical need to know better how the body works in general. Indeed, knowing and knowing your body keeps you well-being, which translates into a better quality of life for the rider and for his environment, in short, a healthy lifestyle. Benefits of the Alexander Technique It serves to relieve the pain caused by the numerous muscle tensions related to stress and incidents of everyday life. The Alexander technique allows the person to explore their internal mechanisms, that is, their way of thinking, their way of moving, the way they manage their emotions. At the same time as training, the student of the Alexander technique becomes able to expand his self-awareness, to increase his self-control and to include, in his own way, complementary knowledge, without the risk of confusion. All the benefits mentioned above translate into the person feeling good about themselves. Physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Since the human being is a complement to all these aspects that if they manage to balance their life will take a huge turn. In addition, it would be creating a positive impact on its environment. Hence the phrase that says healthy mind in healthy body… Benefits of Alexander technique Keys of the Alexander TechniqueHow to do something is more important than what to do. The means are far more important than the end. Knowledge of our body schema is paramount. False sensations limit progress.Through our body we can transmit messages to our horse, get them to understand our aids and appreciate the changes in their behavior and attitude. In this way, our communication with the horse will be more fluid knowing how to interpret not only our body language, but that of the horse as well. This makes the rider more perceptive and wiser. Conscious bodily functioning requires some grounding before riding the horse. Thanks to this awareness-raising work, the rider will be prepared to solve any situation that comes his way. These principles of Alexander Technique are used by Centered Riding and you can check them out in our article on the subject. Think before you act; That’s what the Alexander technique applied to horsemanship is all about Veronique Bartin

One of the pillars of sustainable equine care is proper nutrition. This means giving the horse a balanced and nutritious diet.  Also use sustainable methods in the production and obtaining of food. For example, opting for local and organic sources, as well as reducing waste and the use of plastics in food. In addition, in equine training, the use of techniques free of violence and based on communication and respect is promoted, avoiding the use of elements of control or punishment. This not only promotes the horse’s emotional well-being, but also a greater connection and trust between him and his rider. Some pages are dedicated to giving tips to help us improve the well-being of our horse, such as the “Blog de Pavo”. Recommendations for sustainable and ethical equine care Sustainable equine care is critical to promoting horse welfare and ensuring a sustainable future for horseback riding. It is important to note that while there are certain threats to equine well-being, such as overwork or mistreatment, there are also opportunities to improve and promote more ethical and sustainable practices. As riders and horse lovers, it is our responsibility to seek out information and educate ourselves on sustainable equine care and apply these practices in our day-to-day lives.

Consequences of Poor Equine Care A horse’s well-being is not only affected by its physical appearance, but also by its emotional state. A horse that does not receive proper feeding, veterinary care, or respectful handling can suffer from discomfort and disease. In addition, it can also present trust and behavioral problems. Even this situation can result in serious physical injuries that affect your ability to be ridden. Poor equine care is not only unfair to the animal, but it can also have serious consequences for the people who depend on the horse.   People Involved in Equine Care Sustainable equine care is the responsibility of all those who come into contact with horses, from owners and trainers to riders and caretakers.

Equine wellness Everything related to the good health of horses is an issue that concerns producers in the equine industry. However, it is also the responsibility of the livestock production agencies of the different countries. If an epidemic occurs, they must take corrective actions in relation to the disease that is occurring in the area. For this reason, we will address the issue of equine wellness. The ideal thing in relation to the issue of equine wellness is that above all else, prevention is maintained. This will partly guarantee the success of the equine industry. When we refer to the topic of equine wellness, it is very broad. For there to be a complete state of wellness in the animal, all its basic needs must be covered. Among them we can mention the following:Balanced diet according to your needs Provision of potable and fresh water You must have a space where you can sleep, rest and cover yourself from the cold, sun and rain. Ideally, they should treat their caregivers well. This will allow the horse’s behavior to be balanced and trauma-free. The vaccination schedule must be up to date, thus guaranteeing some protection against contagious and immunopreventable diseases. A space to have fun and play with the herd. Since the development of play and social interaction with their loved ones is vital for their mental health. Aspects such as locomotion and sensory stimulation are vital in these sensitive mammals. Hence, Gustavo Mirabal is one of the people who has been aware all his life in relation to the issue of what equine welfare implies.Equine wellness for Gustavo Mirabal  Table of Contents. ToggleThe laws in the world in relation to equine wellnessPositive Approach to Equine WellnessWellness is performance. The laws in the world in relation to equine wellness The problem that arises in relation to the legal framework that protects animals worldwide is precisely with the regulations. Since there is no unified criterion in the countries of the world. Even within the same countries, laws are often different from state to state. In relation to equine wellness everything related to the principles and freedoms of animals is very profound. This is where the problems often arise since laws can be interpreted subjectively. Unfortunately, it is no secret to anyone that the laws in many countries are not enforced. However, an advance in this area of equine wellness is the hard work and performance of non-governmental organizations. Likewise, from foundations and associations in favor of animal rights. This has had a positive effect on the population as there is more awareness on the part of the people. If this work continues, it is possible that future generations will be more sensitive to animal suffering. So, we will have a fairer, more aware and committed society with the animals of the planet. In relation to these legal issues, Gustavo Mirabal has in-depth knowledge.  Since your profession as a lawyer concerns you everything that has to do with laws, regulations, decrees, regulations, among others. This path is not an easy one for animal welfare activists. However, thanks to social networks, their reach is now greater, and all the information can be disseminated through these means. Therefore, the population is more aware of the progress. At the same time, it is a little more committed to the environment. Equine Wellness 2013 TestimonialsWatch this video on YouTube Positive Approach to Equine Wellness Equine well-being should not be measured only from the negative, that is, when there are signs and symptoms of lacuna pathology. On the contrary, it is necessary to take into consideration what is related to positive experiences. In relation to the equine’s quality of life, it is a complement of measures that consider the balance between positive and negative emotions. This from the horse’s perspective. It is quite a challenge to measure the elements that imply that a horse considers itself happy in all its glory. At the 2017 meeting of the International Society for the Science of Horsemanship. On this occasion, representatives from various countries participated. There it was concluded that the various scientific successes must be valued. As well as the appraisals from the ethical point of view when referring to the issue of the horse’s quality of life. That is, what equine welfare means and implies. For his part, Professor Waran said: “How to best assess the expression of horses’ emotions? Whereas, physical and measurable indicators of stress may be independent of visible changes in behavior. Therefore, the measures that are currently used are useful, but not exhaustive when we talk about emotions.” Everything related to equine welfare is of utmost importance to Gustavo Mirabal. Equine Wellness Wellness is performance. Equine wellness is a challenge for the equine industry team. Hence, experts such as veterinarians, ethologists, researchers, producers, among others, are involved in this team. It is assumed that if a horse is happy, it gets sick less and its performance is efficient regardless of the field it performs. Hence, in the horses that participate in the different disciplines of riding, it is necessary to try as much as possible to keep them happy. In this sense, Gustavo Mirabal has always made sure that the horses that have surrounded him are in good health and in a good mood.
