Why do horses ride in the saddle?

People have been riding horses for thousands of years. However, if you remember the first time you tried to ride a horse, it turned out that this is a whole art. Learning to ride a horse means not only avoiding sores, abrasions and bruises. The main signs of a good rider are lightness and grace, combined with a straight landing. When they start riding a horse from early childhood, then all this turns out by itself. Cowboys of the West usually start riding very early and can ride without bouncing in the saddle.

Depending on the type of saddle, you can ride in different ways. Modern rodeo saddles have a horn, or high pommel, front and back. The military saddle has medium pommel front and back. In this saddle, the rider rises in the stirrups to avoid jarring at the trot. For performances involving riders, English or "postage stamp" saddles are used for the most enjoyable ride. This is a light leather overlay with only a slight hint of bows. Such a saddle can only be used for well-trained horses.

In any type of saddle, the rider basically squeezes the sides of the horse with his hips, leaving his legs hanging freely in the stirrups. The feet are held along the sides of the horse. The reins are held in the left hand, holding the left line between the little finger and ring fingers, and the right is wound around the index finger. The horse is controlled by pulling one or another line or legs.

The horse must be trained in one of these methods. The reins or knee (on the opposite side of the turn) of the horse indicate the direction of the turn. Leg control is considered a much more beautiful way than a bridle.

Of course, in order to learn how to ride a horse beautifully, you need to study and practice a lot. Without it, you will likely find out that riding is not only painful; you still look awkward.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

migraine pills cause migraines 02.10.2012

People who regularly take medications such as aspirin, paracetamol, and triptan may never get rid of their headaches. These medications may provide more pain than relief, according to a study from the National Institutes of Health NICE. Specialists of the center warn against excessive use of drugs. In their opinion, taking pills for headaches for 15-20 days a month for three months only exacerbates the pain. In the UK alone, more than 10 million people suffer from regular or frequent headaches. This is the most common cause of complaints - 1 out of 25 trips to the doctor.

Most of the relevant drugs are effective in the treatment of "occasional" pain associated, for example, with excessive fatigue or alcohol abuse. However, scientists have calculated that in one case in fifty regular headaches are caused precisely by the excessive use of painkillers, and women abuse this 5 times more often than men.

Typically, such people take medications such as triptan "just in case" to prevent a headache from the anticipated hard work. Such irresponsibility leads to the fact that the effectiveness of the drug is reduced to nothing, the pain intensifies and occurs more often. At this moment, having tried all the allowed drugs, the patient goes to the doctor, who is very difficult to solve the problem.

NICE's verdict is that taking headache medication more than ten or fifteen days a month can put the patient in a vicious cycle of headaches getting worse, more and more medications making the situation worse.

Although headache is the most common neurological symptom, it can be a sign of a variety of conditions that can often be successfully treated. People are afraid to see a doctor, and as a result, they drive themselves into a corner, making their own life and the life of their loved ones unbearable.
