Falabella Horse – A miniature horse

Small, furry animals have always aroused a lot of tenderness. Many of these have become the favorites to fulfill the role of pets. That is why today we will talk about the most tender breed in the equine world, the Falabella horse.

When we see a Falabella horse we can think that it is a pony. Some of us may also think that a Falabella horse is a horse with a developmental problem. None of these presumptions is further from the truth.

The Falabella horse is a miniature horse. Many will wonder why nature could challenge such a breed of horses. But we must remember that, for many years, horse breeds do not form naturally. On the contrary, the human being has used techniques and preferences to conduct the formation of horse breeds in a direction of their presence.

The process of guiding the reproduction of horses in a specific direction has been called horse breeding. The goal of horse breeding is to obtain “horse breeds” with specific characteristics according to the specimens being crossed. In this way fast horses are crossed to have faster horses or strong horses to have draft horses.

The truth is that the Falabella horse is the product of putting into practice “natural selection” artificially. This is how the desire of a man was motorized to give way to the selection and breeding of horses that would give birth to the most tender horse in the world, the Falabella horse.

In this article you will be able to know the history of the Falabella horse, its characteristics and what is its importance in today’s world. Without further ado, let’s get started.

Unusual Horses: Falabella Miniature

Is the Falabella horse really a horse?

The short answer is “yes” and the long answer will be known below. The truth is that the Falabella horse at first glance looks like a horse whose development was truncated. But Falabella horses are fully capable of reproducing and going through all stages of development of any standard-sized horse.

On the other hand, some might think that it is a genetic defect. But again these horses when crossed they breed horses of equal characteristics. That is why we can talk about a breed of miniature horses. In the same way if a normal-sized horse is crossed with a Falabella horse it could give offspring.

The problem in this case is that a Stallion Falabella would have very difficult riding a Mare Falabella. And if we reversed the roles, the development of a normal-sized fetus inside a Falabella mare would cause problems because its organs are not designed to support the development of such a sized specimen.

This is the same similar in some combinations for reproduction of hinnies and mules. In which there are possibilities of reproduction, but the size of the resulting brood usually causes the birth to end in tragedy. This is the case of the Mule that, due to its small size, when ridden by a horse of standard size complicates the gestation process due to the size of the calf.

 

The Falabella Horse is a species that retains all the virtues and attributes of other equine breeds. The fixation of their genetic characteristics allows their natural reproduction, procreating beings with the same qualities and conformations.

Where does the name of the Falabella breed come from?

The name of this breed comes from the family that has done the most for the development of this breed: the Falabella family. She worked the creation of this miniature horse breed in the mid-nineteenth century in Buenos Aires.

It is considered that the breeder of the original Falabella horse was Julio Cesar Falabella. Although in the story indicated by Julio César Falabella, the first crosses were made by his grandfather Senor Newton, an Irishman who had emigrated to Argentina in the nineteenth century.

According to the account, Newton found in his lands a small, but adult horse. Seeing that he wanted to raise him to please his daughter, who would become the mother of Julio Cesar Falabella.

Thanks to this small horse owned by his mother, later Julio Cesar would take inspiration to start the breeding of a new breed that he would call falabella breed. Julio Cesar Falabella began this adventure in the summer of 1940. Using the offspring of the horse bred by his grandfather, Julio Cesar Falabella began to make his own crosses, focusing on mares.

Julio Cesar would discover that the mare is the part that most conditions the size of the horse. This conditioning occurs both genetically and by the space for the development of the foal.

This is how a work that began with Julio Cesar Falabella’s grandfather was continued by him and his descendants.

Characteristics of the Falabella Horse

Its main feature is its small size. Its standard size does not exceed 80 cm of cross. The coat of this breed also looks more like that of thoroughbred horses, being silky and less resistant than that of Shetland ponies. Its head is slightly large with respect to the body. Their tail and mane are very long. The color of its coat can be berry, thrush, black, chestnut and appalose.

Horse care

The Falabella breed is composed of very resistant horses capable of withstanding extreme climates and that do not require much care. Their diet is also nothing special: the same as that of other horses, but with smaller amounts. The longevity of these animals is remarkable, being able to live up to 45 years.

Some history

The Falabella Horse is Argentine. Its origin is intimately related to the first horses that inhabited this part of America. The Andalusian horses, which the Spaniards brought to the new world to undertake the enormous task of conquest, and chosen for being the most rustic and resistant. They were then left to fend for themselves due to the first failed settlement attempts.

Personality of horses

It is a very balanced, calm and docile breed of horses. All these characteristics can be seen in his expressive eyes, which show kindness and kindness. But despite its docility this horse can develop enormous strength. Especially if we start from its small size.

Leopard Horse – Appaloosa and Knabstrupper breeds

 No Comments

Jul01

Horses usually have different colors or coat designs. Just as the coat of some is short and that of others is long, this is one of the characteristics that differentiates the different breeds of horses. One of the most striking coats gives its name to a type of horse, the leopard horse.

This is how certain breeds of horses have characteristic colors and designs, because they predominate in their “gene pool”. Variations of colors and designs in pure breeds are limited. By introducing mixtures, we can open the alternatives. But to maintain certain preferential characteristics, crossing with other breeds cannot be carried out.

This means that pure breeds always have advantages in some respects. In the same way pure breeds have weaknesses in some respects and are more susceptible to genetic diseases of recessive genes.

Without a doubt one of the characteristics that best represents a breed of horses is its color and design. For this reason, today we will analyze the design of the so-called “Leopard Horse”. We will take advantage of knowing a little more about the breeds that are characterized by this striking design.

Without more to add let’s start.

MY TRAINING ASSISTANT DALMATION JACK SPARROW 🖤✨🤍

Leopard Horse

As we mentioned in the previous section, the colors and designs of horses’ coats are fundamentally determined by genetics.

Leopard coats can be triggered by a genetic complex that bears the same name as the coat in question. This type of fur can also have another origin, the leopard gene. As we can see, although its origin is undoubtedly genetic, it can have various reasons. That is why we can find it in the different breeds of horses, either by the gene or by the also mentioned leopard complex.

The coats of the leopard horse often have spots, but the nature and distribution of these are different from that of spotted fur. This is because in the part of the head they usually have a design pattern like that of freckles, as we will mention later in more detail. Additionally, and as, we will mention a little later, the pattern has “a certain symmetry”.

This type of leopard fur is also called tabby. Other characteristics, which we can mention is that they have freckled skin, especially visible on the muzzle, around the eyes and groin.

Appaloosa Horse

Symmetrical

The coats are noticeably symmetrical, that is, the horse seen from the side shows similar spots on each part. These usually appear around the hips of the leopard horse.

It should be noted that the eyes are partially white and the hooves with dark and light vertical lists.

On the other hand, mantles can vary over time. It is curious that the position of the spots over the years can be displaced. Additionally, it can also change its size and even the number of spots in the pattern can increase or decrease. Despite this, it must be considered that white spots tend to increase with age.

In turn, the number of spots, their size and their situation on the body can be modified over the years, like Dalmatian dogs.

 

Classification of these beautiful horses

The coats were usually classified according to their external appearance into specific patterns: Leopard, Leopard little spotted, Flocked or snowed, varnished roan and frosted.

This diversity of patterns is due to the interaction of leopard pattern genetics with other genes. In this way, with the interaction of several genes they form the patterns that we know as: “leopard”, “little spot” or “snowflake”.

Leopard Horse – Coat Design
Leopard Horse – Coat Design

According to research

Advances in some studies have allowed a more appropriate classification. This one is based on the outside but more in line with genetics: heterozygous and homozygous.

In both cases, the coats can range from almost dark base fur (with no “added” white hairs) to an almost completely white coat.

Important differences

In heterozygous there are dark spots of the color of the base fur superimposed on the white areas. In homozygous there are no dark spots on the white areas.

 

Leopard horse breeds

There are many breeds of horses with the leopard pattern. However, the horse breeds that are popularly known for this pattern are the Appaloosa and the Knabstrupper. That is why the Appaloosa or the Knabstrupper is considered as the leopard horse par excellence, or the leopard horses.

This is because more than 20% of Appaloosa breed horses possess the leopard horse coat pattern. For its part, the Knabstrupper horse breed has the leopard design coat pattern in 50% of its horses.

This means that, if it were necessary to decide which breed of horses can be considered the leopard horse par excellence, the Knabstrupper would be the winner. In this breed of horse, the predominant coats are the Black Leopard and the Sorrel Leopard with 28% and 21% respectively.

Although the Appaloosa is generally referred to as the leopard horse, the Knabstrupper has much less publicity, but much more presence in this regard.

These breeds are very striking to the eye but focusing on the Knabstrupper this breed of horses has the peculiarity of producing ponies of less than 60cm. But it is also a remarkable breed to also produce Standardbred horses. This is not at all common and gives many alternatives to buyers to acquire riding horses for adults and children.

 

Genetic problems associated with the leopard horse.

Just as we mentioned the advantages of the leopard horse, now we will go on to mention an important weakness, its vision.

The leopard horse is characterized by having a deep white sclera. This is a purely aesthetic characteristic but they have importance because it is associated with some vision problems in these horses.

Leopard horses tend to suffer more frequently from uveitis. Uveitis is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye that affects vision. It can be caused by eye trauma, but horses with leopard complex present it more frequently.

So much so that a condition known as Equine Recurrent Uveitis, which involves the recurrent appearance of Uveitis, is more prevalent in these horses. Specifically, statistics indicate that 25% of the total cases of Recurrent Equine Uveitis correspond to Appaloosa horses.

On the other hand, leopard horses are more likely to suffer difficulty seeing at night and in dark places. This “night blindness” does not advance, but appears from birth, hindering the entire life of the horse.

The beauty of leopard horses is attacked by their vision problems, resulting from the process of inbreeding to produce pure horse breeds.

 

To keep in mind

In 1982 Dr.D. Philip Sponenberg introduced the concept of leopard complex and represented it for Lp (for “leopard” in English). By 2004 a team of researchers placed the Lp gene on chromosome 1 (ACE1).

The Venezuelan Rider Gustavo Ávila and Cañonero II – Mirabal Castro

Gustavo Ávila is a Venezuelan rider who made history in 1966. But Gustavo Ávila was already a consecrated rider for that time. For non-fans of horse racing, they may not know who the Venezuelan rider Gustavo Ávila is. Today we will try to get to know a little more about this rider who inscribed the name of Venezuela in the annals of world equestrian for the first time.

The Venezuelan Rider Gustavo Ávila has a great admirer, Gustavo Mirabal Castro, although by that time he had not even turned one year old. That’s how powerful was the achievement of this Venezuelan rider nicknamed “The Monster”.

He is currently active in his facet of celebrity and in his social networks, where we can find him on twitter in his account @gustavoavilacom.

This Venezuelan rider developed his career between 1954 and 1985, when he retired. Gustavo Ávila had a prolific career that has important podiums in Venezuela, the United States and the Caribbean.

This rider further awakened the Venezuelan passion for horse racing in 1966 when he conquered one of the most important races in the world, Kentucky Derby. This is how the eyes of the world fell on the Avila that would later continue to show signs of his talent.

Gustavo Ávila secured with the Kentucky Derby a place in the history of world equestrian. But more importantly, he earned a place in the hearts of Venezuela’s horse racing fans.

Today we will know a little more about his personal life, his career, and curiosities about his experience on the track. With nothing to add let’s get started.

The life of the rider Gustavo Ávila before the horses.

Gustavo Ávila was born in Caracas on June 14, 1938, specifically in El Conde, located in the center of Caracas. His father and mother welcomed him to the world in a small popular clinic called “Instituto Simón Rodríguez”. Years later the clinic was demolished to build one of the most iconic buildings in the Caracas landscape, the Parque Central urban complex.

This is how this Venezuelan rider knew the transformation of semi-rural Caracas into the modern Caracas we all know. The construction of the Parque Central urban complex began in 1970. This complex devastated what was left of the vestiges of that historic place where the rider was born and with the Caracas of yesteryear.

The Central Park Urban Complex was one of those icons that defined the Venezuela of the golden years, as was Gustavo Ávila.

His basic education took place between Pedro Mendoza Elementary School and Franklin Roosevelt School. He also completed two years of his secondary education in “Liceo Aplicación” (when primary education reached the 6th grade). The admiration of his schoolmates for fashionable riders made him set a goal to become a famous rider.

The pursuit of fame led him to discover his true passion and become one of the most famous Venezuelan riders. Let’s discover what Ávila’s first years as a rider.

The life of Gustavo Ávila after discovering horses.

Gustavo Ávila noted the admiration for the Venezuelan riders of his fellow students. This encouraged him to want to become a rider. For this he began to look for ways to learn to ride a horse.

In those years the National Hippodrome of El Paraíso, inaugurated in 1.908, had a great equestrian tradition as well as a school for riders. Gustavo Ávila wanted to learn from the best and enrolled in the school of the National Hippodrome of El Paraíso. At that time the famous Ricardo Ramírez was Director of the National Hippodrome of El Paraíso who stimulated young riders to learn.

Gustavo Ávila learned the art of horseback riding on the back of a beautiful gray Argentine pony. However, it was still a long way from him becoming an experienced rider. After learning on horseback, he kept riding ponies and avoided thoroughbred horses. The Venezuelan rider confessed in an interview that thoroughbreds in his early days made him nervous. Thoroughbred horses have a lot of energy and strength. That’s how some time passed when he left his nerves and was given a thoroughbred horse to be able to demonstrate his potential.

Gustavo Ávila’s first race.

His debut as a professional rider was made in August of ’53, at the National Hippodrome of El Paraíso, the same where he learned to ride. In his first race he came in fifth position on the back of the mare “La Venus”. Of his first career, Gustavo Ávila keeps vivid memories, and, in this regard, he told the following:

“It was a race for newbies. I will never forget that day, first I could not find the stirrups and then the whip fell on me at the exit. He was very nervous and trembling. I finished in fifth place and felt like it had been endless. I found the tour very long. It was an ordeal for me and for Justo Torres, who was making his debut in that race as well.”

For the Venezuelan rider Gustavo Ávila, they are unforgettable memories and part of the history of Venezuelan equestrian. In that race the mare Sonia was the winner with her rider G. Blanco. But soon Avila would prove what he was made of.

 

Gustavo Ávila’s first victory.

A little less than a year after his debut, Gustavo Ávila achieved his first victory at the same National Hippodrome of El Paraíso. Ávila together with the exemplary Solis gave a lesson on how to win a race. Another of those unforgettable moments that will go down in history. Ávila had an excellent start, placing in third place and then going back. Recalling those moments, the Venezuelan rider Gustavo Ávila said:

“I had already adapted to racing. Unlike my first race, this time I felt calm in the starting box. When they opened the door, I shot out, put myself in third place, and then put myself in second place. When we reached the final stretch, I took the first place to continue until the end. It was my moment. As my mom said, ‘if she succeeded, things would change’, and so it was.”

The Venezuelan rider Gustavo Ávila has left his mark on his time in the world equestrian. This article is a well-deserved tribute to his career and work.

In addition, we could say that Gustavo Mirabal’s father, Mr. Gustavo Mirabal Bustillos, is linked to the law in Venezuela. And it is that this Venezuelan lawyer is transmitted all his love for the laws and the right to his son.

The professional career of Gustavo Mirabal Castro, linked to law in Venezuela.

Gustavo Mirabal’s studies at the Santa María University showed him great potential for the practice of law. Thanks to this, he obtained his first jobs as a lawyer in the Venezuelan financial sector. There he worked in companies of the stature such as Britannica insurance and Banco Construcción. He also served as an external advisor to other banking institutions and insurers.

Thanks to his experience in the financial sector, Gustavo Mirabal aroused an intense curiosity about the subject. And it is the life of a salaried person to be paid in the middle and at the end of the month to run out of money. However, he found that financial connoisseurs had a different life.

Financial enthusiasts are people with much greater awareness of their expenses and income. These people are constantly concerned with increasing their income and keeping superfluous expenses at bay in order to have a surplus. That surplus is what will later become a source of investment. But there is no way to invest without having a surplus.

Many financiers could have had a wasteful life, but they don’t. On the contrary, the key to healthy finances is a sober and frugal lifestyle. There are always opportunities to spend all the income, but to have financial peace of mind requires savings.

Savings represent the ability to face economic contingencies and the opportunity to invest.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro’s passage through the financial sector transformed his relationship with money. He became a man who knew his own finances in detail. That was the awareness and practice that transformed him with his personal experience into a true financial advisor.

Knabstrupper horse breed, The Dalmatian horse breed?

 No Comments

May23

The Knabstrupper horse breed, also known as the “Dalmatian horse”, is a very curious horse. His breed has starred in curious and funny scenes thanks to the resemblance to Dalmatian dogs. That is why today we will talk about the Knabstrupper Horse Breed.

This breed of horse is native to Denmark, and is widespread throughout Europe. It is a very versatile breed since it is used for different activities such as:

  • Sport horse riding
  • Recreational horsemanship
  • Carriage shooting
  • Acrobatic horses for circuses

In the latter case they are used both for their friendly character and for their striking leopard coat. And it is that this last characteristic is what gives it that name of Dalmatian horse. A coat that has given him this nickname.

However, we wonder if the Knabstrupper horse breed is the only breed with leopard coat? Is it really the only Dalmatian-like horse breed out there?

Today we will discover more about the Knabstrupper horse breed and find out if it is the only horse breed that has that striking coat color.

Without further ado, let’s start discovering what the wonderful Knabstrupper horse breed has to offer.

Horse breeds similar to the Dalmatian, apart from the Knabstrupper horse breed

There are many breeds of horses and we can tend to confuse them. That is why it is good to know the physical characteristics of the different breeds of horses and be very observant. There are other breeds of horses that can resemble a Dalmatian dog.

This is because several horse breeds can come to possess white fur with black specks. This is due to a gene that enables this type of fur and is only found in some horse breeds.

One of the horses that can have such a curious combination is the Percheron. It is not one of the common colors in which we can find it, but there are its cases. And it is that thanks to the fact that the Percheron is a horse with these characteristics, we have curious anecdotes about a Percheron horse and a Dalmatian dog. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves anymore and talk about other races.

We also have breeds like the Pony of the Americas and the Colorado Ranger that can have Black leopard fur. This is because these breeds are related to the Appaloosa in their breeding.

Additionally, we can find this type of fur in the following breeds:

  • Coldblood breed from southern Germany.
  • Falabella horse breed: Bred in Argentina is related to the Shetland Pony
  • Noric Horse or Noriker: a breed of draft horse originating in the Italian Alps.

As we see there are many breeds with fur like a Dalmatian. Even though the Knabstrupper horse breed is considered the genuine Dalmatian horse. Perhaps this is due to his agility and character.

Curiosities of a friendship between a horse and a Dalmatian

A video circulated on social networks a few years ago that went viral because of the friendship between a spotted horse and a Dalmatian. As we mentioned in the previous section, a percheron horse with white fur and black specks developed a beautiful friendship with a Dalmatian breed dog.

As we can in the video, these animals do not discriminate and only know that they have fun being together.

DALMATA Es Idéntico A Un Caballo!

Other very interesting breeds that also lived a curious episode are Appaloosa and Shetland Pony. Both are quite different as the Appaloosa is larger than the Shetland Pony. But it is that these horses had the great opportunity to coincide in a farm and become great friends of a Dalmatian.

In this case they formed a dynamic trio that plays as if they were all horses or as if they were all dogs. For them it does not matter the race or skin color. Sunque that was what made them get closer, it was not what made them develop such a beautiful friendship.

In the following video we can see images of the Appaloosa coat called “Black Leopard”. This coat is present in 12% of appalosa horses.

On the other hand, the Shetland Pony is also another breed of horse whose cape can be “Black Leopard”, looking like a “robust” Dalmatian as in the following video.

The interracial friends who have starred in the viralization of his image are very happy. The Dalmatian Dog is called Jack Sparrow and is very playful.

On the other hand, there is the Appaloosa Mare called Nevada which is very calm and is used to learn to ride a horse and for equine therapy.

Let’s continue to know about the curiosities between horses and Dalmatians

Friendship is not about being of the same breed of animal

Just as the dog is considered man’s best friend and the cat is many people’s best friend, animals can be friends with each other.

The curious friendship of the white horse of black specks and the Dalmatian prove it. Perhaps their physical similarities brought them closer, but it is their good vibes and nobility that hold them together.

In this same way love and friendship between people cannot be limited to beauty, skin color or the human race. And to highlight this idea we leave you with a beautiful video about the friendship between horses and dogs, most of them do not resemble each other at all.

Friendship is not limited to physical similarities or common interests, it has more to do with deep values. Horses and dogs are renowned for their affable character, sensitivity and nobility. This brings them closer to each other and makes them great friends.

Gustavo Mirabal Castro is a lover of animals, but especially horses and dogs. Therefore, every day we strive to show you the importance and beauty of horses. Gustavo Mirabal Castro created this space to enhance the role of the horse in the history of humanity and in modern life.

We hope that this space has brought a smile to your face and made you reflect on friendship and love. The most important thing we humans carry, and animals, is what we carry inside. A learning that can lead us all to live in a better world.

Lawyers must meet several characteristics to be successful in their career. This leads them to work on many personal and professional skills. These same skills lead them to be successful in other fields of work.

What are the characteristics of the Venezuelan lawyer?

Without a doubt, the Venezuelan lawyer is guided by ethics and probity. It is true that there are individuals who, guided by greed, can get outside the norm, but the reality is that they are little less than lawyers. No matter what title you have, a true lawyer is guided by the Venezuelan lawyer’s code of ethics. Without complying with the code of ethics, we are left with only an empty title without any meaning.

  • Some of the elements that characterize the Venezuelan lawyer are:
  • Act morally in every situation.
  • Probity in any situation.
  • Honesty and transparency both in its actions and with its clients.
  • Must be efficient in obtaining justice in a timely manner.
  • Veracity in its actions. You must stick to the truth in your actions, always to protect the interests of your client.
  • Loyalty to the norm, but also to your customer. This is a key point.
  • Must have a “disinterested” interest in justice.

This means that he is moved by justice and not money for doing his job. This does not mean that your work is voluntary, but you will see above all the justice and fees will depend on the activity to be carried out and will not depend on the opportunity for enrichment.

A Venezuelan lawyer must always be at the service of his client’s interests. A lawyer defends the interest of his client so that it is the situation in front of him, he receives the best possible advice or defense.

Therefore, some people consider lawyers to protect bad people. It is not about this, but about each person having an optimal defense according to their situation. But we will clarify this a little later.

Caballos Heroicos y Lawrence de Arabia

Heroic horses and their fantastic stories

The story is told through the lens of the victor, and of those who can and know how to write. Therefore, history captures the stories of heroic military and political leaders and their exploits. But the mechanization of war came during the second industrial revolution and the invention of armored vehicles by Germany. Therefore, most of the history of humanity is full of military leaders on the back of heroic horses saving the day.

Between 1870 and 1914 there were numerous advances in the steam engine and the internal combustion engine. This made it possible to increase the mobility of troops and people.

Although the horse participated in the First World War, its vulnerability to new weapons and armored vehicles was also evident. The first battles took place with cavalry. However, the evolution of war highlighted the importance of the mechanization of war.

One of the examples of the use of horses in the First World War is the case of Laurence of Arabia. Lawrence of Arabia’s real name is Sir Thomas Edward Lawrence. It was he who stirred up the desert tribes of the Middle East to attack the Ottoman Empire. The main weapon of these peoples and of Laurence of Arabia was light cavalry to provide speed and mobility.

The trenches necessary for the use of weapons and armored vehicles made it difficult to use horses on all fronts. But this did not detract from the importance of the horse as a means of transport and courier. The messengers in general moved on horseback because it gave them speed and allowed them to travel almost any terrain.

Today we will learn some of the stories of the most famous heroic horses in the world and their fantastic stories.

Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers

The Horse of Lawrence of Arabia

The name of the horse that accompanied Lawrence of Arabia has been lost in the records. But some believe he named his horse “Arabia,” after the unborn Arab nation.

In his campaign with Faysal on the Shores of the Red Sea, Lawrence of Arabia pledged to help Faysal ibn Husayn, the third son of the protector and regent of Mecca Husayn ibn Ali.

Their help would make it possible to defeat the Ottoman Empire in its dominions in the Middle East and weaken it. Moreover, this would add men to the Allies on that front.

Although France and the United Kingdom wished to divide the Arab territories, although they had agreed with the tribes, and with Husayn ibn Ali himself, the creation of an independent pan-Arab state.

The betrayal of France and the United Kingdom to Husayn ibn Ali was known to Laurence of Arabia. However, he relied on the pan-Arab forces to consolidate in the territory, to placate the ambitions of the powers.

One of the most important moments developed in guerrilla warfare with the aim of achieving the uprising of the tribes against the Ottoman Empire. At that time Arabia, Lawrence and Faysal showed off managing to transform the profile of the war in that territory. Below, we will tell you a brief passage from the battle in Tabuk against his adversaries in October 2017. This text is based on excerpts from his personal memoirs.

The Battle in Tabuk, October 2017

A day full of light and dark. In the face of the dream of an independent pan-Arab nation, our allies have shown unparalleled strength… Maybe as much as my horse “Arabia”. That’s what I named after the future nation they were fighting for… we struggled.

Yesterday, “Arabia” saved my life. Our goal was to take the fortress of Tabuk. We certainly achieved the goal at great cost in lives, ours and those of the Turks and Ottomans. Some manage the operation of the train, and the others the military fort. Without numerical superiority, our advantage was surprise, always surprise. Surprise that Arabia with its speed allowed us.

“Arabia” was Faysal’s gift after learning of my support for their cause and my commitment to supporting them. And “Arabia” would be the present that Faysal and his father wanted to give to all the Arabs of the world. A strong nation to grow.

I discovered that “Arabia” lived up to its name, a thoroughbred Arabian horse. White as the sands of the Hijaz under the sun, and fast as the wind, like all the Arabian horses I know.

Arab civilization and heroic horses

Our life passed between war, the sun, food, women, and horses. A simple life I admired. Beneath the surface was a civilization full of culture and knowledge. My studies of archaeology demonstrated his incalculable contribution to modernity.

That day we launched a lightning attack on the Tabuk fort to secure the area and hinder the transport of troops. Our forces were our convictions, the fast horses, and the surprise of the enemy. The riders of the lightning attack had to go on horseback, because they were faster than the camels.

At dawn, we launched the attack mercilessly. It had to be quick if we wanted to succeed with the number of our fighters. And so it was, but not everything went as we expected.

 

Arabia saving the day.

Our sources had identified the enemy’s strategic points. We attacked quickly on 2 of the 3 points. The third point was able to alert the battalion. Already our forces set fire to the soldiers’ barracks, besieged them, and urged them to surrender.

But the captain had managed to entrench himself in the weapons depot. And it brought us a bigger surprise. We discovered with the sound of the rumble that they had a cannon that our intelligence sources had not reported. The blast knocked down 3 of the best riders. But Faysal was also in danger, and we had to save him.

I ran on the back of Arabia at full speed, while Faysal, riding a camel, was besieged by Turkish cavalry that had come out with the first alert. A contingent of infantry blocked my firing line to finish off Faysal’s attackers. Then Arabia reared up with the smoothness and stability necessary to put me in position to fire at the attackers. With three shots for three attackers, I ended up with the three horsemen who harassed the leader of our allies. If we had lost him, he would have lost the dream and, with it, the war.

In the shooting sight

Then Arabia, as if understanding what our next goal was, rushed to the canyon that had ambushed us. We already had his position after the first shot and he could no longer surprise us, as we had surprised the battalion. The cannon began to spin aiming at us, and Arabia ran in a semicircular shape, approaching the canyon avoiding putting us in the crosshairs…

And he kept running until I had a firing line to shoot down the gunboat. I shot him down, and at that moment Arabia stopped and started walking, as if knowing that we were already safe. This is how we end up with its advantages and also with its surprises. Although a lot of blood was shed later, we avoided defeat thanks to “Arabia”. At that time Arabia proved to be part of the ranks of the heroic horses of history.

History full of heroic horses and their fantastic tales

No doubt we find in the history of humanity hundreds of stories about heroic horses. In this article we will incorporate stories to share our passion for horses. We will tell you about the contribution of horses to the peace and concord of humanity.

For Gustavo Mirabal it has been a challenge to show the importance of horses in the history and evolution of human civilization. What better way to do that than to tell the stories of heroic horses and the fantastic stories of these?

We are waiting for you for our next stories.

Law and Equestrian Lawyers – Equestrian Law

Apr19

Law is one of the professions and disciplines of the world that encompasses branches of human knowledge. This is because almost all human activities are regulated. Even those that are not regulated can also be the subject of legal disputes. These unexpected situations can create legal precedents or in any case lead to the creation of specific legislation. That is why we consider it important to know about the legality around the horse, the equestrian law.

That is why today we will talk about law and some famous equestrian lawyers around the world. If you need them, you can go to them for advice or representation directly. Today you will learn about equestrian law, and we will mention some specialists in the area of equestrian law. Without further ado, let’s get started.

What Is Equine Law? | An Introduction To Horse Law

Does equestrian law really exist?

Short answer, yes. The long answer is that equestrian law is a derivation of all those legal specialties that deal with animals. In addition, it deals with all those activities in which the horse is involved. That is why equestrian law has a little of agrarian law and another little of the law related to sports competitions.

We can also see everything that has to do with the law related to betting in the case of horse racing.

A specialist in equestrian law must also know everything related to animal protection law.

A lawyer specializing in equestrian law must have extensive knowledge and experience in various branches of law. This is only achieved with professional practice and with a deep equestrian passion. There are lawyers who specialize in animals in general, but lawyers specializing in equestrian law are scarce. Due to the shortage of equestrian lawyers, their services can become expensive. But the reality is that having that specialized advice is invaluable.

What areas do equestrian law cover?

Equestrian law as we saw in the previous section covers many areas. Although we try to cover them all it is impossible and therefore, we will try to make a summary of the most important areas of equestrian law:

  • Commercial Law: All transactions of sale with horses are regulated by commercial law. Likewise, everything that has to do with the property and the profits generated by the horses in case they are acquired in society. It is very typical that commercial law is used for property and contract issues.
  • Municipal law: Everything related to the rights and permits for the economic exploitation of horses. Even for the construction of facilities to keep horses depends on the municipal cadastre and permits.
  • Agrarian and livestock law: Remember that the horse is considered cattle. But also, the horse can be a rural work tool for ploughing or transport. Moreover, in some countries horse meat is produced, sold, and consumed. This last type of exploitation will depend exclusively on the regulations of the country and its legal tradition. However, we cannot leave out this type of horse use, especially if we are in a country whose exploitation of the horse occurs in these terms.
  • Traffic law: Remember that horses are animals that are also used as a form of transport. That is why the traffic law is important because in some countries to use a horse as transport certain specifications must be met.
  • Tax law: This is an important point. Both activities that generate income from the use of horses and horses themselves may be subject to taxation. Therefore, tax law must take into account the specificities of the locality and the country.

Other legal aspects to consider

One of the most important aspects is the whole law associated with the protection of animal rights. That is why in some countries you cannot consume horse meat. In addition, in many countries they have strict regulations on the dignified treatment of animals. That is why the facilities must comply with minimum hygiene standards and the working days of the horses are restricted.

Some time ago we did an article about coach horses in Cartagena, denouncing the situation of horses. In this article you can see the complexity of the situation and the just restrictions that exist on the overexploitation of horses.

The protection of animals is fundamental to ensuring their well-being, which we must ensure as a human civilization. But, in the cases of the exploitation of horse meat, the hygienic conditions of the horses guarantee health. Remember that any breeding animal for meat consumption must comply with sanitary parameters. These sanitary parameters protect horses from diseases. But at the same time they prevent horses from transmitting diseases to humans who consume this meat.

On the other hand, there is everything that has to do with the law that regulates sports activities and betting. Sports regulations ensure the health and well-being of the horse while maintaining fair competition. Many regulations limit the use of drugs that can increase the horse’s performance to the detriment of its health.

It is important that all this is well known and implemented in sports and betting competitions. In this way our horse will be healthy, will be able to perform and have a long and profitable life.

Equestrian law, a way to protect horses, owners, and riders

Like everything in law, equestrian law seeks to balance the duties, responsibilities, and rights of the parties. In this case the owners of the horses, the riders, and the horses themselves are the interested parties. We can also include society in general in this aspect, with animal protection laws. Another interested party is the government, which executes the laws, but also collects the taxes that allow us to organize society.

Although Gustavo Mirabal’s specialty is commercial and tax law and legal financial advice, equestrian law has been part of his interests. Thanks to his passion for his horses, Gustavo Mirabal has learned a lot about equestrian law. Although given his professional experience he has always preferred to have this knowledge to make decisions advised by the real experts, lawyers specializing in equestrian law.

We value these professionals who must have extensive experience and know various subjects for this specialty. Thanks to them the horses, riders and their owners will be better protected.
