"At first glance "In the equestrian world one of the most discussed topics and thorny concerns the early handling of foals . The opinions in this regard are conflicting.At
first glance it is an essay that aim, through a research conducted in
the field, the validity of this intervention and the possible effects
that such an approach can have on horses .This approach refers to a general concept of psychology called imprinting or molding experience . The
most classic example of this phenomenon is the conduct of seguitamento
ducklings in front of Konrad Lorenz who appeared in their eyes
immediately after hatching. This form of learning is also present in mammals than in birds. This
essay tracing the history of the discovery of imprinting detects the
key features and highlights similarities and differences with the
process that is assumed to occur, in foals shortly after birth .The work is enriched by the presence of two mules among the subjects examined. A
part of the essay , in order to fully understand the actions and
reactions of the equidae , is dedicated to their ancestry , their
psychology and behavioral differences compared to horses ." THE MYSTERIES OF THE HORSE " , is the only Italian version of the famous essay by dr. Robert M. Miller
- renowned veterinarian , doctor and teacher - is one of the most
respected scientific authorities ethology of the horse, equine behavior
expert . The
passion and the daily attendance of the horse , which the author has
cultivated a life , are reflected in this book without any form of
deception dictated by an affection antropomorfizzante . Apply
a correct and respectful look at the discovery of the true nature of
the psychic horse combining the passion for this magnificent animal to
the rigor of the method.The
title refers to the mysteries of the horse, because it is a guide to
enter the territory of "other" of the mind of the animal. It is , of course, also a training manual , but more importantly, a map of his mind. All
topics are important to understand the movements of his act , and react
, and return to the horse its place in relation to the man . Miller
shows that the horses are trained more effectively with persuasive
methods that involve the principle of habituation , the progressive
desensitization , conditioning and modeling of de-conditioning
exploiting often also the behavior allomimetico . These , compared to coercive systems , cause the horse to behavior that "wants" to keep . Thus, the non-coercive training techniques produce athletic horses that perform perfectly their business and have fun doing it. Although
it may seem that education of the horse there are strict rules to
follow , you should always keep in mind the infinite diversity of
subjects , it would be absurd , moreover, claim to apply a single method
of training to achieve different purposes. Therefore , to overcome the difficulties arising from such variety, you can handle the foal shortly after birth . Such learning is nothing but a process of imprinting in which even the horses may undergo . Dr. Robert M. Miller has researched and developed the method . He called the whole process " Imprint Training" .The
essay " The mysteries of the horse" debunks many stereotypes relating
to the effect that excessive manipulation of the newborn foal can have a
negative impact on the acceptance of the same by the dam. If
done correctly, the imprinting is equally effective for all breeds and
produces a foal calm , fearless , friendly, respectful and willing to
learn , and if , instead , is practiced evil will only poor results and
probably horses with behavioral disorders . Applying these bad theories are created myths that generate erroneous theories." IMPRINT TRAINING OF THE NEWBORN FOAL "
Everyone
knows that before a man comes close to a puppy before wild animal will
be able to make it mild and harmless against him. What
an animal will learn at an early age will remain indelibly marked in
his mind and affect his reactions , his habits for a lifetime . Such learning is nothing but a process of imprinting in which even the horses may undergo . Dr. Robert M. Miller
- renowned veterinarian , doctor and teacher - has researched ,
developed and presented this technique in the world of knights and
riders wishing to establish a bond with their horses , understand them
better and help them live more peacefully. He
has conducted countless experiments with his foals , maximizing the
process at the time of birth to it and including the procedures for
desensitization and sensitization. He
called the whole process " Imprint Training" , a technique that is
currently used throughout the world , and is effective with all breeds
of horses. Probably
, it is among the most important innovations that have taken place in
the context of equine psychology in the last decade . With a foreword by prof. Antonio
Lucio Catalano of the University of Parma , the book explains step
-by-step maneuvers to carry out the procedures of imprinting in a
correct and illustrates all the procedures involving the bond , the
habit and awareness. Explains how to properly handle the mare before, during and after the procedure of imprinting . The
book describes in detail how to teach the colt to remain bound to
accept the halter and , ultimately , how to lay the foundation that will
help the formation of the subject when it is mounted . All
these maneuvers , Miller says , will include the human being on the
list of things you like and pleasant , and consequently we have a horse
who trusts his rider and follows him spontaneously. In
addition to the breeder will be much easier and will save you time when
the horse is to be shod, clipped, and medicated mounted and enable him
to deal with situations without difficulty generally not critical as
getting on the trailer or overcome natural obstacles . Dr. Miller also addresses any problems that may arise and their prevention , also devotes two chapters to race horses and mules.

Non mi sono mai ritenuta poi del tutto normale, normale nell’ anormalita’, anormale nella normalita’, cioe’ sempre diversa ..
Un ramo diverso, di una famiglia radicata diversamente, con radici piu’
robuste, qualcuno che i principi li ha ! La famiglia degli
appassionati di equitazione, che come tutte le famiglie con dei principi
che si rispettino, come nel passato passando dalle casate piu’
importanti, anche noi abbiamo il ns stemma : il cavallo, un degno
compagno, affidato guerriero ed elegante membro della famiglia stessa;
Andare a cavallo e’ dunque una pulsione inspiegabile di slancio verso
l’infinito e vocazione verso la liberta’, non smettero’ mai di enunciar
di loro . ©
I never considered it altogether normal, normal in 'abnormality', in the abnormal normality ', ie' always different ..
A different branch of a family rooted otherwise, with roots more
'robust, the principles that someone has them! The family of horse
enthusiasts, who like all families with the principles that respect, as
in the past going from families most 'important, we too have our coat of
arms: the horse, a worthy companion, entrusted warrior and elegant
family member same;
Horse Riding and 'therefore an inexplicable
impulse of momentum to infinity and vocation for freedom', will not stop

Write 'a literary genre that has not made
history, that of dedications: not dedications printed in ancient books
or those that today accompany the books to reviewers in so-called "press
send," but the true dedications, written with the pen from 'author
giving a copy to a friend. << A love that is born in the summer is
not afraid of an upcoming winter. >> ©
Scrivero' un
genere letterario di cui non si è fatta storia, quello delle dediche:
non le dediche stampate nei libri antichi né quelle che oggi
accompagnano i libri ai recensori nei cosiddetti “invii stampa”, ma le
dediche vere, scritte con la penna dall’autore donando una copia a un
amico. << Un amore che nasce in estate non ha paura di un inverno
imminente. >> ©
