22.01.2022 The happy little duckers are 2 weeks old today & enjoyed their first big swim

22.01.2022 I went for a walk with Paris down to our river today. The 3 little Piggies said hi as we walked by. I could see the river flats below us and a flock of kookaburras cheered us on as we stopped to admire the view. We had wrens & honeyeaters flitting through the wattles & I heard a little gold finch but couldn’t see him. I spotted the river through the trees, rushing by after the rain. I am always thankful that we found this beautiful little place & feel so very lucky to call it our home

21.01.2022 We walked Manny down the hill to the river today. Lots of new things to see & hear in unfamiliar surroundings. It was a bit breezy so the trees were swaying & there was heaps of birds. He was good & enjoyed the grass on the river flat. We spotted our first Blue Tongue for the year too. #gypsycob #lynleesironman

27.12.2021 Happy with our first garlic harvest, 84 bulbs

08.12.2021 It would be great to get a little jinker for my Gypsy’s one day

18.11.2021 Today, as you listen to the Last Post and renew your vow to remember our servicemen and women, pledge to support those who continue to fight their battles at home. The veterans who made it through combat, but struggle to survive through life in their own country. We will remember them.

30.10.2021 Is your horse misbehaving? Could be one of the reason on the right pie chart or many more. Most behaviour issues are related to pain or not understan...ding what is being asked or not feeling safe or lack of training issue. What has your horse done to try tell you something is not right ?

14.10.2021 It’s been a huge week here at Meliora Rise. Our dear first foal Maddie left us on Friday, off on a big journey to Victoria. She has wonderful times ahead with her lucky new owner Although we will miss you & your cuddles Maddie, we look forward to hearing all about your new adventures

11.10.2021 Here is a clearly written and thorough article which adds useful anatomical and functional information to our post on Cranial Nerves and Tack Fit which we just re-shared. https://www.google.fr//2/04/04/equine-cranial-nerves/amp/

27.09.2021 Facial Nerves and the importance of proper bridle fitting. (a reshare from 5 years ago) This is something Manolo is quite fanatical about. He is always adjust...ing nosebands, flashes, browbands and making sure the buckles do not push into delicate facial structures or the poll strap does not push against the horse's ears (and of course checking bit fit). A quick look at what cranial nerves DO reveals how important their well being is and why properly fitted tack is paramount. There are twelve pairs of cranial nerves. They have a role in: Balance Heart rate (sensory and motor control of viscera including heart, lungs, and bowel) Hearing Smell Vision Eye movement Neck muscles that move the head Sensation from the face Motor to the muscles for biting, chewing Facial expression Taste from the anterior 2/3rds of the tonque Taste from the posterior 1/3rd of the tonque Tearing (lacrimal gland) Salivation from the parotid gland as well as not from the parotid gland (different nerves) Sensation and some motor to the pharynx Swallowing (motor to the muscles of the soft palate, pharynx and larynx) Vocalization (motor to the muscles of the soft palate, pharynx and larynx) gastrointestinal peristalsis Tongue movement Every part of a bridle has a role to play in stabilizing it and ensuring it does not put undue pressure on any part of the horse's head’s joints and nerves. It is paramount that it is fitted properly. There is not one bridle model or brand that fits all horses in Manolo’s experience so with all bridles it is important to pay attention to fit and check the following: Is it pressing on a joint like a too tight browband pushing on the TMJ. Is the crownpiece pressing or rubbing on soft tissues like the base of the ears. is the noseband too low and resting on cartilage or placed too high and touching the horse's cheekbones neither which are good. is the throatlatch strap too tight, pulling the bridle down on the poll and "strangling" the horse? This strap should remain loose regardless of neck and head position. is the bit too high or too low. are some of your buckles rubbing or pocking into the horse soft tissues on laying on bone. Is your noseband and flash (if you use one) correctly adjusted? make sure there is two fingers stacked between your noseband and nasal bone. If you aren’t sure, invest in an ISE gauge (http://equitationscience.com/store/taper-gauge) Are all the bridle parts that touch the horse's skin smooth, supple and clean. Following this simple, common sense age old advice can help any horse be comfortable in tack. For more information on tack and anatomy, check our Photo Albums. Source: HorseAdvice.com and The Merck Veterinary Manual. 3/12/2013 - VETERINARIAN Massimo Da Re Follows up with More Insights on CRANIAL Nerves, the Brain and Limbic System The head of all vertebrates is one of the most important parts for the life of the individual: It is home to the brain that has the delicate task to process the information that comes from the body and from the outside world and return to the various parts of the body with essential indications for life. The brain encodes what the sense organs perceive and organize the existence of the individual. The brain also reads the feelings of the heart which is the true center of life. In the head are located vital organs: hearing, smell, sight, taste, touch. ( and breath) Think for a moment about your horse, observe how important its highly mobile ears, his large nostrils, his very expressive eyes are for its essence. Finally the mouth. The horse lives with his mouth: eats, vocalizes, works, relates to the outside world. It contains more than 4 billion nerve endings and is closely associated with a portion of the brain called Limbic System, responsible for the control of emotions and learning: think about this before acting with your hands on your horse's mouth. There are no horses "deaf" or "hard" in the mouth, pain receptors can not be deleted nor go out: horses fight oral pain in different forms: some rear, others pull on the reins, while others seem to be resigned and have a heavy mouth. Study well this beautiful and useful image and use the equipment on your horse with awareness and respect : avoid too tight nose-bands, make sure briddle and bit fit well. Be careful with the halter, especially if it is made in rope or fabric that are too thin: they can lead to excessive pressure on the nerves of the face; always remove the halter when the horse is free, in stall or outside in the field. Be gentle with your hands, both when you lead the horse and when you ride. The subject is vast and deserves full days of discussions! Thank you Massimo! and Tellington TTouch Cavalli Italia.
