On June 15th I posted the entry C8 Again. In this entry I describe a physiological phenomenon which I discover while starting this site. While repeatedly working on-line, and as well waiting for better weather, I used the time to deal with the curvature of my spine. Worse after winter break, this curvature is what I wanted to remove by repeatedly lifting my spine from C2 and moving back C8. My suspicions for C8's role in human posture and for riding you find in earlier entries.

Some three month later I notice an amazing result...

Hi, there. I have been completely emersed in setting up two new sub-sites, which will serve to present Elements of Equitation (2005). The structure stands, I will add text and images daily. And, you may as well start to read and look and thus understand, why I say the horse was made to make man. In 2001 to 2005 Study-Horsemanship was only me and I am kind of proud of these results, physiology-wise and setting-up-sites-wise as well. Thanks, Christoph and Martin, for seemingly endless 3D/2D computer hours...

May I present Elements of Equitation (2005), Text and Illustrations.

Antiquity (1)

Last night I happened upon a film about Alexander the Great. It showed how, starting from ancient Greece, he made his way through present day Turkey, Lebanon...

On-Line (1)

Like many other bloggers, I also write on-line. And yes, it is true, if a text is indexed while it is still in correction it may enter the annals of history in a less than perfect state. History, that is, as long as no one speaks about retiring data, due to lacking server space for instance, to name just one option for future web develoments...

As regards Study-Horsemanship's Elements of Equitation (2005): I post as fact, what, having begun as informed observation, was confirmed in riding just this one more time. I can only hope that our findings will be verified by other additional riders. Which is why we offer research participation. And I am looking forward to neurological research, particularly on how the horse's power mobilises for further confirmations...

Jealous (1)

Hi, this you must see. My granddaughter in perfect balance (to see her click on 3 and Riding and wait for the video).

Antiquity (2)

Sheep's communication. For insiders only.

In the concordance of the NIV 1984 edition I read on page 1367 under the caption Blood (Bloodshed, Bloodthirsty):

Ex 12:13 ...and when I see the b, I will pass...
Ex 24:08 ...this is the b of the covenant that...
Lev 17:11 ...for the life of the creature is in the b,
Mt 26:28 This is my blood of the covenant...

This guide and rereading these texts comes as an answer to a question asked earlier. It confirms the ideas of being spared, of substitution and of life. As it stands, all points toward the one Real One. There is a detail here, however, which I missed earlier: the old covenant's substitution was animal blood. In the age of grace the substitute is red wine. Speaking of culture and well-being...

Jealous (2)

Jealous may not be the right word. I use it as an expression of admiration, approval and the desire to do things just as well. Please see the National School of Academic Equitation in Seattle.

Grace (2)

Man is made for one-on-one.
Not to compare to one another, but to be with Him.

Is humanity made for grace. And for disgrace?
What, then, is justice?

Its true, the clay does not critique the potter.
The one made not the maker.

Imagine (1)

Imagine living in the inner city there is silence. Not the deadly silence one may imagine after an atomic bomb. No, it is the cheerful silence of a car-free-inner-city. You awake, breath deep and go to the window. Below you see school kids walking along the vegetable fields where before cars were passing. Their chatter drowns the singing of the birds. So you withdraw to have coffee and check your mails.

Later you consult the vegetable stand at the corner, viewing the newest products and buying some eggs as well. Kiddy corner you purchase some local lamm and while paying notice a rider on the sand track. As one of the many who, taking up the offer to participate in a horse-back-to-transport experiment, he has completed instructions...
