The AquaPacer in Action at Los Laureles Equine Rehabilitation
Written by admin on July 8, 2009 – 5:40 pm -
Hydrotherapy is a quickly growing mode of therapy and conditioning for horses. Pools and swimming have been around for a while and have resulted in successful conditioning and rehabilitation. However, there are drawbacks to swimming. Many horses, understandably, scramble in the water and arch their backs to keep their heads above water. This can lead to injury and musculature which is counteractive to most equestrian sports. Lately, veterinarians have developed a safer, more controlled method of hydrotherapy for horses. The underwater treadmill is the latest technology for providing the benefits of hydrotherapy in a safe, controlled environment.

Medievel Times – Fiesta of the Spanish Horse 2008
Written by admin on February 10, 2009 – 2:42 am -
On Saturday May 3rd at the 10th Anniversary of the Fiesta of the Spanish Horse held at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, California, we were entertained with a performance by Medievel Times.
———————————————————— —————————- Medieval Times Celebrates its 25-year reign in North America. Medieval Times’ founders first launched their unique idea for a dinner attraction on the Spanish island of Majorca in 1973. This imaginative new entertainment spot was inspired by the true medieval tradition of royal families inviting guests to a festival and feast to watch Knights compete on horseback.
During the early years in Spain, the show’s authentic display of classic equestrian skills and medieval pageantry took place in outdoor arenas, a far cry from the climate-controlled castles of today. There, the conventions of today’s shows were established. Guests were seated in sections named for regions of Medieval Spain and encouraged to cheer for the Knight representing their region.
As Medieval Times has grown in popularity both in Spain and North America, some things haven’t changed. Like our commitment to the accuracy of weapons and costumes. Others have. The characters and storyline of our show evolve every few years, making sure it stays fresh and exciting for generations to come.
The horses used in our performances are some of our most talented cast members. Nearly all of our horses are raised from birth on our tranquil Chapel Creek Ranch, in Sanger, TX. Along with Quarter Horses, Friesians, and Menorcans, we proudly raise purebred Spanish Andalusians, a gorgeous breed prized by Medieval royalty for its astonishing strength, agility, and even temperament.
Training begins early. As weanlings, our horses are introduced to lead ropes and halters. Saddles come at age 2. Long reigns and simple exercises like lunging follow. At age 3, they go to their new home, one of our 9 North American castles, where they learn advanced-level dressage from a master horse trainer. Then life as a pampered performer begins. After several years in the spotlight, the magnificent steeds retire to live out their lives in comfort and serenity at our Chapel Creek Ranch in Sanger, Texas.
