When a man appears  on the back of a horse, he takes some sort of a position, and this position has its own features. This position is called a “seat.” It is believed that there are many different types of “seats.” Special seats for show-jumping, for trail riding, for bullfighting and so on and so  forth. To put it mildly, that’s not true. There are not many different types of seats; there are a great number of perversions on the topic of “seat.” There are too many of them, and unfortunately all of them are factors that lead to “uncomfortable and then painful sensations” for the       horse. If you put any man on a horse without a saddle, you will always get approximately the same seat. It can vary a bit due to some anatomical peculiarities of the individual man or horse, but its principle will stay the same. It will be a very deep seat with absolutely relaxed leg, with the toes pulled down and out a bit with fixed thighs. This will be the most natural seat.

HORSE REVOLUTION Rodeo: Intimate details of a national shame When talking about rodeo we can only be surprised at how shameless the fairy tales are about this horrible activity. In bullfighting there is a least some semblance of an operatic storyline explaining the sequence of events, although the horse is ill-fated from the beginning. Rodeo is just a typical and primitive way for absolute idiots to have fun. Even the word idiot sounds a bit complementary towards these guys in hats and the audience who watch the rodeo.

 RESEARCH Endogenous mechanisms of modification of pain sensitivity in horses There is quite a lot known nowadays about pain, anatomical structures and physiological processes which condition the processes of pain reception, perception, modification of this perception, emotional reactions to pain and the generation of response to pain. This article deals with two small but important aspects of pain sensation which are crucial for understanding how horses perceive pain and react to it. These aspects are responses to noxious stimuli and endogenous mechanisms of modification of pain sensitivity in horses.

SCHOOL

How I Choose Horses

I can surely say that even if we use the most serious approach in choosing a horse, even if we have an incredible quantity of hippological, veterinary, behavioral and biomechanical knowledge, the “main” horses in our lives are not “chosen”, they just “happen”.

This rule holds true even when a horse has to be chosen for professional work in the cinema for a show, for television or photography – in other words, business, with the obligatory need to teach the horse basics or the whole Haute Ecole.

Alexander Nevzorov shares his story of how he chooses his horses.

HORSE REVOLUTION

The Equestrian Inquisition

Imagine that a regular store sold inquisition devices. Furthermore, they are sold not as antiques, but as quite ordinary tools for everyday use. They are new, in beautiful packages with the instructions for use. On the shop board are mouth openers sold in bulk and pincers to pull out nails, nostrils and teeth; on windows – whips of all kinds, with chains, with or without hooks; on shelves – vices and “Spanish boots.” And in the center of the room on a table marked, “Please do not touch” on a nice label – a real rack.

Do you think these instruments can only be seen in a museum, where hardly anyone will attend? All these worn-down exhibits shed pain and sufferings of the hundreds, the thousands of tortured. If one will come closer – one will hear the moans and death rattles of the tormented souls.

The fifth chapter of the long-awaited book by Alexander Nevzorov.

CARTULARIUM

The Hidden Meaning of Old Engravings

In fact, many ideas and meanings which spiritualize old School Masters and their imitators are encrypted on title pages preceding old tomes. Alexander Nevzorov analyzes a famous book by Antoine De Pluvinel L’Instruction du Roy en l’Exercice de Monter a Cheval and the title engravings in La Gueriniere’s, Ecole De Cavalerie.

The School Curb

Some history of a famous curb bit designed by Solomon de la Brue.

We can safely say that the precise scientific and practical knowledge of the torturous role of any equine “iron” (i.e., bits) celebrates its 400th birthday now. In the beginning of the XVII century in France, Haute Ecole master Salomon de La Broue published the results of his research which he had called “PRECEPTES”, including a complete analysis of the effect the bit causes in a horse’s mouth.

It is noteworthy that La Broue studied the principles of the effect of the bit not to communicate the torture it caused the horse or even to express his dismay. He did it only to make his own inventions more effective.

Lectio Eqvaria Palaestra

The new film by Alexandr nevzorov is now available on DVD. In this issue we proudly introduce an interview with the director.

As we all know, the key criteria of intelligence is the ability to encipher sounds into the graphic characters (we call it “writing”) and vice-a-versa – the ability to decipher graphic characters, the ability to read. Those abilities allow us to get the amazing answers which indicate that there is a similarity of the intellect in the different species of mammals. A horse’s brain is comparable to a human’s.

If we give it such “tools” as graphic characters (i.e. the alphabet) we can organize the intellect. So we can teach a horse to associate, to generalize and to draw conclusions…

The two hour film brings to life the famous quote by Albert Einstein: “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimension”.

 It is a large-scale epic narration of the history of a practice called L.E.P.* – giving simple and irrefutable evidence that the mind is not solely a human prerogative. 

* LEP – Lectio Eqvaria Palaestra

Nevzorov Haute Ecole is the new way of horsemanship, based on partnership with the horse, without punishment.

While the rest of the world continues to be mesmerized by Alexander Nevzorov’s school and the revelation of a horse’s ability to be taught and perform difficult school elements without pain and force, Alexander has been developing further by teaching his horses to read.

“LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA is a very old School technique, by which absolutely any horse can learn to read and count quickly and easily, grasping the language of human numbers and letters, so seemingly alien to her.”

In 2010, Alexander completed production of the film by the same name as the school element, LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA, or LEP, which literally translates to Manege Horse Reading.

“This film represents a screen version of famous quotation by Einstein: “Human mind which has once extended its borders can never go back to old dimensions.”

It is a film about human mind capacity which has made it clear that intelligence is not our exclusive possession. It is an attribute of many mammals. If anyone nurtures illusions of this kind they have to reshape their views.”

By his film, Alexander shows that such intelligence; an ability to conceptualize symbols and learn language is not a sole attribute of humans or primates.

The idea of a horse being able to read unearths a truth about humankind that has long been hidden. It implores to question fundamental beliefs about society and our species, about other life forms and about our dominion of the planet.

This truth promises to be deeply confronting.

But this is not the purpose of LEP.

The practice of LEP, the education of a horse to read is not to prove a horse’s intelligence but to show to a horse that a human is somehow worth mentioning.
“While studying LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA with a horse, a human proves to the horse his intelligence and gradually strives so that the sounds he emits would no longer seem to the horse the same as the cow’s moo or the grasshopper’s chirps sound to a human.”

“During the LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA lessons, a horse for the first time finds out that there are systems, logic, connections and information in the things a human is doing, that a human has, however humorous, an intellect.”

“The intellectual faculties of a horse are completely incredible. It is noteworthy that in the alliance, which is necessary for the successful practice of LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA one must have a horse who demonstrates the capability to comprehend the language of another species. A human cannot yet even guess what the horse’s language really is and how it sounds.”

Alexander again has raised the bar on human perception of horse capability. His works will always challenge and reveal the limited and incorrect notions of people towards horses.

The movie LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA will be available soon ( English sub-titles)
