FASD is a condition thatโ€™s extremely close to my heart!

FASD is a condition thatโ€™s extremely close to my heart!

Kids with are trying โ€“ how you read that matters.

Their behaviours may feel overwhelming, but there are strategies that can help. These young people are doing their best in a world that doesn't fully understand them yet. Itโ€™s time we step up, learn more, and support them the right way.

A recent study by K. Kienapfel et all (2024) investigated the relationship between head-neck positions (HNPs), conflict behaviour (CB), and judging scores in elite dressage horses. The study examined how these factors align with the animal welfare principles and competition rules established by the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).

๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜€:
โ€ข Conflict behaviour increases with lower nasal plane angles in elite dressage horses.
โ€ข Relationship found between head-neck positions and conflict behaviour.
โ€ข Surprising rule contradiction: tests with small poll angles received high scores.
โ€ข Urgent need to address animal welfare and enhance solutions in dressage sport.

๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜†:
The study observed 49 horses participating in the Grand Prix Special (CDIO5*) at CHIO Aachen in 2018 and 2019. Researchers analysed video footage of warm-up and competition phases, measuring HNPs (angle at the vertical, poll angle, and shoulder angle) and recording instances of conflict behaviour. These were evaluated against judges' scores.

The results showed that:

โ–ช๏ธ The nasal plane was behind the vertical more frequently during warm-up than in competition (-11ยฐ vs. -5ยฐ).
โ–ช๏ธ Poll angles were larger in competition (28ยฐ) than in warm-up (24ยฐ).
โ–ช๏ธ No significant differences were found in shoulder angles between warm-up and competition phases.

Conflict behaviours, including unusual oral movements, occurred more often during warm-up than in competition. Tail swishing was not affected by the nasal planeโ€™s angle.

The study authors concluded that the findings raise concerns about the welfare of elite dressage horses and the application of FEI rules. According to the authors, horses showing restrictive HNPsโ€”such as nasal planes behind the verticalโ€”exhibited more conflict behaviours, yet these positions were not penalised during scoring and, in some cases, correlated with higher scores.

The authors emphasised the importance of addressing these discrepancies to ensure that dressage practices align more closely with established rules and prioritise horse welfare.

My beautiful 5 years old niece Dee Dee practicing her song and makaton!

Makaton is a language programme that uses signs, symbols, and speech to help pre-verbal children develop communication skills. It supports understanding before speech, helping children connect gestures and sounds to meanings.

By focusing on simple, everyday words like โ€œmoreโ€ or โ€œhelp,โ€ Makaton reduces frustration, boosts confidence, and lays the groundwork for speech. Repetition and consistency are keyโ€”use signs during daily routines like mealtimes and play.

Makaton doesnโ€™t replace speech but encourages it. Each sign and word brings children closer to forming sentences and expressing themselves fully.

Makaton gives every child a voice.
