23.01.2022 http:// Friday Fact - How the environment affects the horse // Horses are basically wary of new things and they have a great recognition memory. They will notice a s...light difference in the landscape, stable yard etc. and automatically recognise it as a threat and become tense. This behaviour is variable amongst horses and involves many genes that control it. It is difficult to manipulate and there is a lot of luck in breeding which is true for racehorse performance too. So with this basic animal, if you put on top of that its basic needs of sufficient food and water, thermal comfort and a sense of being safe, which can of course impact on the animal's life in a big way. But the things that really affect the horse's nervousness and make the expressions of the effects of the environment such a big problem are dependent to a greater or less extent on the way we train them. If they are trained in a very clear, simple way, where one signal clearly means one response, don't ask for two things at once and every single cue is easy to discriminate, your horse will suffer less from the effects of his environment. This is not necessarily easy when you are sitting on its back in one place. You can use your reins in different ways and your legs in different positions and for different durations, but it is not easy.

20.01.2022 http:// Terminology Tuesday - The Central Pattern Generators // When a foal is born, the gaits are already embedded. The limb sequences and their diagonal connection...s are already present in all gaits. This is because of the Central Pattern Generators. Put simply, the Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are dense clusters of nerves in the spinal cord that coordinate the limb movements. There is one in the cervical thoracic region (withers) and another in the lumbar/sacral region (loins). The concept of the Central Pattern Generator can be a complex topic to understand, but the key pieces of information that are interesting are: The CPGs enable the patterns of the gaits without any input from the brain. The front CPG is the decision-maker - it informs the hind end, which provides feedback. Take a look at this animation of the Central Pattern Generators in action. Notice how the front is informing the back, and they are both directing the limbs. There is some feedback from back to front but the main message regarding the gait itself is coming from the front CPG. One of the reasons the great masters of equitation emphasised that the walk is the ‘mother of all gaits’ is because the walk is the slowest gait, and each limb is separated, so it’s easier for the trainer to target the precise moment a leg can be most influenced, which is the beginning of the lift (swing) phase.
