THE HORSE BOY trailer

admin on March 6th, 2010

Official Selection 2009 Sundance Film Festival

How far would you travel to heal someone you love? An intensely personal yet epic spiritual journey, The Horse Boy follows one Texas couple and their autistic son as they trek on horseback through Outer Mongolia in a desperate attempt to treat his condition with shamanic healing. When two-year-old Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert Isaacson, a writer and former horse trainer, and his wife Kristin Neff, a psychology professor, sought the best possible medical care for their son—but traditional therapies had little effect. Then they discovered that Rowan has a profound affinity for animals—particularly horses—and the family set off on a quest for a possible cure.

The Horse Boy is part travel adventure, part insight into shamanic tradition and part intimate look at the autistic mind. In telling one familys extraordinary story, the film gives voice to the thousands who display amazing courage and creativity everyday in the battle against this mysterious and heartbreaking epidemic. The filmic companion to Isaacsons best-selling book of the same name and a festival favorite, this ravishing documentary odyssey gives insight into how, in lifes darkest moments, one can find the gateway to joy and wonder.

In Australia / Vic / Melbourne there has been a horse flu scare. But what I would really like to know is what does the flu do to a horse. I understand that the horse develops a temperature. Yes I know horses cant talk so they can’t tell us how they are feeling, but what do the experts say about how it affects the infected horse.

Equine influenza is a major virus disease that causes flu like symptoms in horses and is from the group of viruses that causes flu in humans. This is a major viral disease present throughout Europe, North America and parts of Asia.

Most horses exposed to the virus will show signs within a period of 1-5 days.

Equine influenza appears similar to a range of other viral respiratory diseases. Viruses that are responsible for coughs and colds in Australia include Equine Herpesvirus, Equine Rhinovirus and Equine Adenovirus. Most of these viruses produce rather mild signs which include a discharge from the nose and coughing. Equine Influenza produces more severe symptoms with horses developing a fever and a dry hacking cough. Horses become ill and are reluctant to eat or drink for several days but usually recover in 2 to 3 weeks.

The virus can be spread easily from horse to horse as a result of droplets and also from nasal discharge and from things like infected brushes and rugs. The disease is very contagious and there is almost 100% infection rate in a population that has been previously unexposed to the virus.

Because it is a virus, there are no drugs that influence the outcome of the disease. However many horses develop secondary infections with bacteria which can lead to pneumonia and other problems. Good nursing care and if necessary, antibiotics to deal with bacterial illness associated with the disease are important parts of treatment. The most important part of dealing with this illness is effective vaccination. Reasonably effective vaccines are now available featuring the two most important types of this virus but horses need to be vaccinated 2-3 times per year to ensure their immune status.

The most likely way that this disease could be introduced into Australia is through an imported horse and horse owners should be aware of this potential if there are any horses introduced onto farms or into stables. The most likely signs will be the rapid spread of a severe respiratory flu like disease which is more severe than the usual virus problems

I want a dressage saddle but all the girth i see don’t look right. some have a leather overhang that makes sure the buckles don’t touch some are made out of cotton and the buckles look like they would touch. can any one inform me about what kind is best and what is standered size and all that stuff.
thanks

Dressage saddles and girths were made to be so that the buckles are lower down and do not interfere with the rider’s leg. As a result, the girths usually have (And should have) a flap of material between the buckles and the horse’s skin. If it doesn’t, I would’t use it- I’ve never seen a dressage girth used that doesn’t have them. If you do end up with one like that, I’d get (Or make- it’s basically just a tube) a girth cover. Make it a little long, so you can pull it up over the buckles. That should protect the horse from rubs or getting pinched sufficiently

If you can, get something leather. It should match your saddle in color. If you get neoprene or something, keep in mind that some horses (Like mine) are allergic to it, so you want to make sure yours isn’t be fore you buy. Get one in good repair- As for sizing, I can’t tell you. Here’s a little chart that is an extreme GUIDELINE. A 15 hand Arab has ha different body type than a 15 hand Draft cross, and a chubby horse will need a larger girth than those said on these charts: http://www.saddleshop.com/extras/conversion_girth.htm It would be best to borrow a friends girth, or perhaps a trainer’s, to see what size fits your horse, especially if you are buying online.

£1.05

In the good old days, before this filthy "decimalisation" money, a guinea was one pound and one shilling. Rather impractical but none the less an elegant measure of currency. A shilling equates to 5 filthy new pence so the answer is as above.

Roll on the revolution.

Learning how to tie a horse requires skill and safety. Most people assume it’s safe to tie their horses because they’ve never seen them pull back. Yet whenever a horse pulls back, it can have significant—possibly even deadly—consequences for the horse and anyone who might be nearby. In this two-part video clip, John Lyons—Americas Most Trusted Horseman—explains the principles behind why he teaches horses to give to pressure, then he demonstrates techniques. The main goal is to learn how to tie your horse safely.
