American Paint Horses earn starring roles in Walt Disney Pictures' "Hidalgo"
Epic action-adventure shooting on location in Morocco, California, Montana, South Dakota and Texas

"Hidalgo," an epic action-adventure from Walt Disney Pictures, based on the true story of the greatest long-distance horse race in history, started production recently and will feature a registered American Paint Horse in the starring role. In all, five American Paint Horses are being used at various times to play the role of Hidalgo, the colorful equine star of the film.
Directed by Joe Johnston and produced by Casey Silver, the film stars Viggo Mortensen, Zuleikha Robinson, and Omar Sharif. John Fusco, whose screenwriting credits include "Thunderheart," "Young Guns," and the animated feature, "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron," wrote the original screenplay. Don Zepfel is the film's executive producer. The film will be distributed by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution and will be released Oct. 3, 2003.
Based on the true story of the greatest long-distance horse race ever run, Hidalgo is one man's journey of personal redemption. Held yearly for centuries, the Ocean of Fire—a 3,000 mile survival race across the Arabian Desert—was a challenge restricted to the finest Arabian horses ever bred, the purest and noblest lines, owned by the greatest royal families.

The Horse in the Ancient World
BY ANN HYLAND
TO BE PUBLISHED: 3 APRIL 2003

A unique overview of the uses and development of the horse in ancient Egypt, Greece and Mesopotamia.
This book '. . . should change the way we think about both
the military and the cultural history of early empires.'
Professor F. E. Walbank CBE, FBA

Writers have spun fantasies around the relationship between horse and man, from Pegasus and the centaurs of ancient Greek mythology to Jonathan Swift's Houynhnms and Yahoos. However it is less common for historians to analyse the decisive role played by the horse in some of the main episodes of human history.
Written by an experienced breeder, trainer and skilled endurance rider who knows what a horse can and cannot do, this book explores the role of the horse in ancient civilisations including the Hittites, the Seleukid Kingdom in Mesopotamia, the Steppe and Hun tribes. Ann Hyland uses her own experience to support evidence from Babylonia, Assyria, Palestine, Egypt and Greece about all aspects of horsemanship and its importance to rulers such as Ramses II, Solomon and Alexander the Great. Illustrated with a wide variety of images from documentary, archaeological and literary sources, it offers a global perspective on the period 2300 BC to 300 BC.

Gem Twist, formally retired at the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden on November 1, 1997, has an incredible list of victories as long as that of any horse. In addition to nine years’ worth of grand prix wins, Gem earned two Silver Medals at the Seoul Olympics in 1988 and was named “World’s Best Horse” at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, Sweden in 1990. Twist also accumulated more than $800,000 in prize money and attracted purchase offers of $2.5 million.

horse The Training Tree: Suppleness
WAVERLY, WV--Suppleness is another mythunderstood word in the horse industry. Suppleness simply means the ability to bend without stiffness. We want the horse to have loose, pliable jointshis hocks, his hips, his knees, his shoulders, his poll and his jaw. There are other joints that must be flexible, too, but generally when we talk about a horse’s ability to bend, we’re talking about one or another of those major joints.

If a horse stiffens any of these joints, that stiffness goes through his whole body. If the horse braces in his poll or jaw, for example, nothing else is going to be loose because he is locked against the rider’s hand and that stiffness is going affect all his other joints to some degree. Stiffness or resistance in any joint causes a disruption of the energy flow throughout the horse. Smooth transitions are a sign of a supple horse and, vice versa, jerky, jumpy or jarring transitions signal resistance somewhere.
Just as some people are suppler or stiffer by nature, horses are individuals. Some have short bunchy muscles, short necks, straight pasterns, or other conformation traits that make flexibility more difficult to achieve. Others have long, lean muscles, long necks, and perfect shoulder and hip angles that make bending their joints very easy for them. There are a lot of different exercises trainers can use to help any horse become looser and suppler in his joints. The key is that these exercises need to be done while the horse is moving in order for him to become truly supple.

horse First Premium Cleveland Bay Stallion in Powys
FOR the first time ever, a Premium Cleveland Bay stallion will stand in Powys for the season.
Good news for the region and the Cleveland Bay breed, four-year-old Tregoyd Journeyman, owned by Colin and Margaret Green looks set to have an outstanding future.
Worldwide there are only about 400 pure-bred breeding mares with only about 80 foals born each year. The breed features on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust's critical list.
"Tregoyd Journeyman, who is 16.2hh with approximately 10in bone, will run out with his mares as many of our other stallions have done," says his breeder Colin Green whose stud nestles at the foot of the Brecon Beacons Park near Hay-on-Wye. "The breed is known for its excellent temperament which they pass on.
"Although we are keen to cover pure-bred mares, many people like to cross the breed with thoroughbreds.
"The Cleveland Bay is very versatile and is now used to produce sport horses for dressage, show jumping and eventing," adds Colin.

horse Chill Master Testimonial
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to congratulate you on your "Chill Master" range of boots from Equitector. I have found them to be extremely useful, but for a slightly unorthodox reason than horse care and riding! Please read on.
Since Summer 2002, I have been responsible for a friend's mare, and as she is kept at a DIY livery yard all the work - both mucky and otherwise, was done by myself. A friend recommended Equitector boots to me, and so shortly before Christmas I bought a pair of Chill Masters . However, before I could put them to their intended use, I was the victim of a serious road traffic accident, sustaining multiple injuries that included a scarred eye, two broken arms, and a broken left foot.
Once the plaster cast came off my leg, I found that I could not walk whilst wearing "normal" fashion shoes; some of them didn't even fit my foot anymore due to a bony lump left on my foot from the healing process. I tried my as-yet unused Chill Masters; not only did they fit perfectly, they gently supported my foot and helped greatly in my learning to walk again. Your "Easy Rider" technology actually helped my balance while I was slowly regaining my strength, and the supportive ankle padding in the boots was a bonus too.

Dan Franklin Presentation At The The Arab Horse Society National Show
Dan's involvement with Arabian horses goes back some twenty years ago when he purchased his first Arabian. Since then Dan has developed quite a unique breeding program and his barn carries some of the oldest foundation bloodlines of the purest Polish Arabians in the world. On Dan's ranch in the heart of the Cariboo, in Northern British Columbia, Canada his Arabian horses go back to the foundation lines of Synbad, Aladdinn, Fadjur, Silverdrift, Khemosabi Bask, Bey Shah, Fadaro, Ferzon, just to name a few.
Dan's horses live on 160 acres of natural forest habitat, drink out of a lake and forage on some of the country's finest grasses and herb vegetation there is to offer. Dan's Arabians are very relaxed in their environment and have very little stress in their lives. They feel very safe and comfortable in their surroundings, and their quiet disposition is attributed to their natural enviroment.

Dan has two outstanding stallions, Lyndale Flame Dancer, a great-great-grandson out of Khemosabi and JC Aladdinn, a direct son out of the world's famous Aladdinn. These two stallions have a very quiet temperament, excellent conformation and very intelligent minds, which each of them passes on to his foals.
In Dan's estimation the Arabian horse is the most intelligent horse in the world today. They are the people's choice when it comes to photography, pleasure and showing. They are the most prestigious horse in today's time, and are admired by people of all walks of life.
