Immersion One 


(The thoughts that created the program)

 

"The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think." (Edwin Schlossberg) The immersion program is about creating contexts in which, riders, trainers, veterinarians and therapists can immerse themselves into better education or reeducation of better horses.

 

Immersion One, focuses on a work in hand technique, which permits to access and educate the source of all body's movements, the horse's vertebral column.

 

Saturday April 16, at the home of the Science of Motion.

Greetings!

Only a few more days before the first Immersion program. The subject is the new in hand technique and its application for training as well as therapy. The next Immersion program is scheduled on June 11. The subject is the lowering of the horse's neck in the light of the most advanced research studies. The practical application will be in hand, at the lunge line, and riding. 

Response to the waspish ghosts of theological thinking. by Jean Luc Cornille

(Recently we have been under attack of a few ghosts who are loading facebook and other blogs with theories not even vaguely related to the way the horse's physique effectively functions. They take a picture or a short video segment out of context and go on the rampage trying to show their science. I never read these blogs but Helyn keeps an eye on distorted use of our information . The funny part is that once this response was published these waspish ghosts of theological thinking are so concentrated on their self that they did not even realize that I was referring to them).

 

"An impression of motion can be achieved and photographic representation of various phases of motion can be done without any knowledge of anatomy and the detail of function but the situation is completely different when it comes to an understanding of the mechanisms involved. This can only be done through careful analysis based on morphology, physics and physiology. Each of theses branches contributes to the concepts of biomechanics, an essential part of which is the relation of structures to each other which determines the distribution of forces and consequent actions." (C. W. Ottaway, 1962, The anatomy of motion. Vet. Ree. 74: 279-295)

 

A sample of cocktail party theorists, who never went beyond superficial impression of motion, have recently been on the rampage demonstrating why equine injuries and lameness issues have now reach an alarming level.  A cocktail party theory is an assemblage of words put together for their elegance and the hope that they will impress who ever is listening. The words are usually meaningless and it definitively needs a few drinks to find any meaning. Read on  (Comments are welcomed!)


I Miss My Training by Jean Luc Cornille and Chazot
horse

New cells adapt to stress, and bringing a horse back to work after a rest period, involves the risk of inducing stresses for which the bone's structure is not ready. I observed that each time I have to rest a few days for whatever reason, he restarts the training carefully; in hand the first day, the second day involves short periods of trot and long periods of walk and so on. At first, I was thinking that he was overly cautious. My energy level was high and I was ready for more. Manchester told me, I experienced the opposite. I was put back to work as if I had stopped working only the day before and believe me I spent very painful nights trying to cope with my aching body. Manchester's remark reminded me of the deadly silence of the racetrack barn in the early part of the afternoon. Each one of us was standing or lying in the stall experiencing physical discomfort and even muscle aches. One day, I heard a vet telling to his assistant, they strain their muscles or overstress their bones in the morning and try to heal in the afternoon. The vet's assistant was quite an attractive woman and I was thinking that the man was trying to impress her. Then, I moved toward the stall door to watch what they were doing and realized how much my back was hurting. From this day I gained respect for this vet. I wondered many times why he was not teaching our trainers to properly educate our physique instead of injecting us with all type of drugs. I realized then that the man was taking care of our problems because such was his job but his mind was in agreement with my thoughts, perhaps if trainers had the intellectual ethics to learn how our physique really functions, we would not have to deal with so many injuries.    Click for story
