Eladó kombinált körmölö kés. Marka: Dab Guerrera, Norway. Kétélű és hurok kés. Első osztályú acél, rozsdamentes. Kézzel is nagyon könnyen élvezhető. EURÓ 100

MEGOSZTASOKAT KÖSZÖNÖM. Cutting-Sudak Elena vagyok. Művészeti munkáim mellett lovakat tartok - Magyar Kufakó-t és orosz Vyatka-t, körmöléssel és ló test egészseggel foglalkozom. Célom az hogy holisztikus módon tudjak a lovakkal dolgozni és ebben a témában folyamatosan képzem magam. Az állatot nem csak a csontok, az izmok, a végtagok, a paták, a neurológiai rendszerek külön egységeiben szeretném megérteni, hanem mint egy egymással összefüggő egységet. Remélem, örökre csodálatos lények tanítványa maradok, és lehetőségem nyílik arra is, hogy szakterület legjobbjainál tanulhassak.
2018-ban kezdtem a ló terapias bodywork-ot tanulni és intenzíven gyakorolni, amikor elkezdtem a körmölést tanulni Norvégiában Dan Guerrera barefoot iskolájában.
A bodywork és a holisztikus megközelítés rendkívüli módon segítette a körmölési tanulmányaimat, valamint azt, hogy megértsek és sikeresen dolgozzak olyan lovakkal, amelyek magas fokú stressztől vagy valamilyen fájdalomtól szenvedtek.
Ezzel egy időben kezdtem el a Masterson Methoddal is foglalkotni, és Belgiumban folytatott tanulmányaim során, ráakadtam Tami Elkayama Ló Tensegrity Balancing Therapy-jára, amely teljesen lenyűgözött. Nemcsak maga a módszer, hanem Tami tudásának és tanításainak végtelen mélysége és részletessége. Örökké hálás vagyok, hogy lehetőségem nyílt az ő irányítása alatt elkezdeni tanulmányaimat. Először online órákon keresztül, majd 2023 májusában csatlakoztam az elso európai diákcsoportjához. Jelenleg 1-es szintű tanuló vagyok, a 2-es szintre 2024. májusában fogok eljutni.
Állapotfelmérést és kezelést kínálok bármilyen ló számára - legyen az aktívan versenyző vagy hobby ló - és ezzel együtt támogatom a gazdáikat is, akik rendszeres munkával és tanulással szeretnének pozitív változást elérni a lovaikon.
Ha szeretné kipróbálni az általam képviselt módszert, akkor írjon messengeren vagy e-mailben: [email protected]
Kiszállást Lajosmizsétől 1-órás távolságra vállalok, ennél messzebb lévő helyszínre előzetesen egyeztetés alapján tudok elmenni.
__________________________________________________
APPREICATE ALL THE SHARES. Apart from my artistic endeavours into equine sculpture, I am a keeper of horses of Kunfakó (Hungarian breed) and rare aboriginal Vyatka breed (originated in Udmurtia, Russia), I am an equine trimmer and a bodywork student. My goal is to learn and work with horses in a holistic way. I want to understand the animal not in separate units of bones, muscles, limbs, hooves, neurological systems but as one interconnected living being. I hope to forever remain a student of these amazing creatures and have good fortune to study under some of the best in the field.
I have started with equine bodywork in 2018, when I went to study hoof trimming to the school of barehoof strategy taught b Dan Guerrera in Norway. It helped me tremendously in my trimming vocation to understand and work with animals that have been scared or in discomfort. I have started with Masterson Method around the same time and have studied in Belgium but came across Tami Elkayama’s Equine Tensegrity Balancing Therapy (www. and was absolutely blown away by the infinite depth and detail of her knowledge and teaching. I am forever grateful that I had an opportunity to start my education under Tami’s guidance first through on line classes and then joined her European group of students attending level 1 in May 2023. I am currently practicing level 1 student and will be attending level 2 in May 2024.
I am offering assessment and treatment to horses of all disciplines and support their owners who want to make positive changes for their animals with regular work and learning.
If you are interested in trying this modality, you can write via messenger or e-mail: [email protected] I travel within 1 hour driving distance from Lajosmizse, Hungary, but can consider the rest on case by case basis.

I am not very good with words. My time that I have been spending around horses, though quite limited, has brought a lot of feeling, perspective and thought to me. Horses have been continuously connecting me to myself and thus to the world in every sense. Horses are a unique tool given to humans. With their help and through them many social, healing, natural concepts could be explained and demonstrated with utmost clarity. More importantly, these can not only be seen and heard but also felt. Modern humans lost touch with feeling to such an extend that the concept of feeling has become not only alien to whole masses but it is out of fashion and is considered by many a sign of weakness and loss of power. However, looking back at the history of survival of human species, ability to feel, use one’s intuition has been one of the keys to their survival. Considering this, it is obvious that the loss of feel, we can also call it true awareness (either with yourself, nature, world around you, etc.), leads to personal and as consequence mass decline in chances of survival.

Horses cannot be saved unless people who have power over their fate are saved, or rather are inspired to change. The world can only be saved and changed if more and more people make an individual decision to save and change themselves, thus inspiring others. As in a body, if the majority of cells are able to maintain health and multiply, sick cells will have no chance to prevail.

May it be that way.

🔈 PELVIS TENSEGRITY
⠀
The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bony complex in the human body.
The pelvis and sacrum are linked via strong ligaments and muscles, creating a tension system that works with the compression-bearing bones to create a local tensegrity system.
⠀
These ligaments are visualized in the picture, they include the posterior SI ligaments (Iliotransversosacral, Axile, Zaglas, Bichat), anterior SI ligaments, the iliolumbar ligaments and the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments.
⠀
Locally, these ligaments need to have balanced tension to maintain SI joint integrity and normal bone positions in space.
If one of these ligaments is injured and loses its optimal tension/quality, disruption of the tensegrity balance ensues.
This leads to increased compression stress in the pelvis/SI and hip joints, but also leads to distortion of the global tensegrity of the body.
⠀
For example, in the picture we can see a normal, balanced pelvis icosahedron on the left with the horizontal balance beams through L4 and the greater trochanter did the femurs.
On the right, we can see the consequence of an injury to the right SI joint/ligament complex. This leads to pelvic and sacral shifting, unleveling of L3 (blue dot) and functional scoliosis, anterior-inferior shift of the left ilium, valgus stress in the left knee, and pronation stress in the left foot-ankle.
The white arrow represents the downward compressive force of gravity. If the tensegrity is balanced, the body can adequately resist gravity without breakdown.
⠀
Disruption of this tensegrity system is the source of joint degeneration and pain, all results of decreased space/compression in the joints.
⠀
This is but one example of how loss of connective tissue tension/quality leads to compression stresses as well as local and global distortions of the tensegrity system.
⠀
In biotensegrity, micro affects macro, local affects global!

Important facts

🤔Horses were meant to eat grass… right?

Well it depends on what type of grass.

If you are talking about the tufts of fibrous grasses out in the Great Basin of the USA, then yes 👍

Horses roam this vast rugged landscape, continually moving, browsing and foraging on the odd bit of tough grass they find here and there.

Their bodies, legs and hooves were set up to move.

Their teeth were designed to chew and grind down on these really fibrous tough plants.

Those massive molar arcades, 4 of them, were perfectly created to ensure the horse can eat the toughest of plants, to obtain the nutrition they need.

But what about our domestic horses?

Ah, well life is usually a little different for them. 😏

They still have that amazing body, legs and hooves, set up for movement, but they don’t tend to move anywhere near the amount that they need to.

They still have those incredible rows of teeth, but most of the time they are working at a fraction of their capacity.

Yep at times a bit redundant.

You see, many domestic horses are put out to graze on lowland pastures of short grasses, very often grasses unsuitable for them to eat.

Unsuitable because they are packed with sugar, and not with fibre.

Sweet tips of grass that the horse rips off with his front teeth, the incisors.

But by the time it gets to those extensive rows of molar arcades, ready to take on the toughest of plants, that short grass takes just a few seconds before it’s broken down and off into the gut.

Those molars aren’t really being worked hardly at all.

This has a knock on effect with the rest of the horse’s jaw, body, muscles, health.

That coupled with reduced movement, and that amazing horse set up for the roughest of plants, is now only using a small portion of the ability that it is capable of.

But what about the hay, we hear you ask?

Well yes, hay really does make those teeth and jaws work like they were designed to.

But how many domestic horses REALISTICALLY have access to this long natural fibre 24/7?🧐

Not enough.

And owners don’t tend to see the problem with it. They see grass, and they think this is what horses were designed to eat.

Quick, free, easy.

But we hope you can see now, allowing your horse to eat short grazed grass, isn’t giving them what they truly need.

Your horse needs FIBRE every day, and every hour of its life.

Yes it’s that CRUCIAL to their health.

The health of their body, teeth and gut.

Being herbivores, everything that goes into your horses gut needs that extra bit of help to break it down.

It starts with the teeth first…

… and then it’s the turn of those clever bacteria in your horse’s gut - the microbiota.👏

And if your horse predominately eats more sugary grass with barely any fibre, topped up with some less than challenging fairly soft bagged feeds, then the microbiota inhabiting your horse’s gut will be very different to the ones needed for breaking down fibre.

But this is largely never EVER thought about.

And as a consequence our domestic horses are suffering ailments that their wild counterparts rarely encounter.

❌ Laminitis
❌ Colic
❌ Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS)
❌ Skin problems
❌ Weight issues

And far more besides.

So yes, horses were designed to eat grass, but not the lowland soft, sugary, often short grasses found in most horses’ pastures.

Think twice when you turn your horse out onto grass without any hay.

Think twice when your horse gets cold in the winter because there’s no hay to access.

Hay is the FIBRE your domestic horse CRAVES… and not just one or two hay nets a day!

Give your horse hay 24/7, and never let them run out.

It’s the cornerstone of their diet and it’s VITAL.

What type of hay? Well that’s the subject of another post… but in short, no rye or high sugar grass or cereal hays.

Give hay 24/7… it’s what your horse was designed for 👍
