Very proud of having been part of this collaboration, working on such an important study.

🫏 New publication ✍️👉👍:The highly endangered Maltese donkey 🫏 breed is properly identified and described in detail for the first time. Authors Arnold Sciberras (Naturalist),Jeffrey Sciberras (botanist), Gina Curmi (Equestrian trainer and coach) have studied intensivley historical images / accounts /hearsay and any references to the beast of burden was made. The latter were taken into account to average proper morphometrics of the breed and a decade search for information led to a handful of closely related specimens fitting the breed description. Twenty universally standard measurements were taken on each specimen so a standard could be proposed for the identification of the breed. Urgent conservation measures are needed.This study is part of a series of over 20 published works on the subject describing over 130 breeds of plants and 40 breeds animals belonging to several species that originated from the Maltese islands yet so much more needs to be done.Maltese landraces research group is a research initiative the Sciberras brothers started two decades ago to promote the keeping and scientific documentation of Maltese landraces, breeds / strains of domestic plants and animals known to have originated in the Maltese islands or whose names have an affiliation with our archipelago.The latter were developed in the Maltese islands through artificial selection (domestication). Some breeds are as old as prehistory itself while others have a very recent origin.

The initiative also strives for the identification, study, description, education to the public and conservation of possible landraces (both fauna and flora) that the Maltese islands have to offer.
Any information on any organism that perhaps we may have not encountered yet or we are unaware of can be communicated to us on 99113445, at [email protected] or via Maltese Landraces page✍️👉👍:https://www.facebook.com/Columbatopia

One main but initial project is to produce a book about these so-called Maltese landraces.

All data and images will be fully credited and if anyone wishes to pass data and remain anonymous his/her wish will be respected.

All contributors will be given a copy of the work. Maltese 🫏 New publication ✍️👉👍:to be cited as: SCIBERRAS, A.,SCIBERRAS, J & CURMI, G (2024) Il- Hmar Malti.

A new year, a new challenge 😁
Here at Stable Tales we are focusing on training young horses and re-schooling and rehabilitating horses which are coming fresh from the race track or show behaviour issues which their owners have difficulties to handle.

Our trusted schooling horse V earned his retirement and will no longer be used for riding lessons therefore we will be able to offer lessons to riders who own their own horses and wish to take lessons. We offer schooling facilities at our location or have the ability to travel to your location, whatever the preference.

Through our collaboration with Elite Riding Academy Malta we are in a position to offer professional training in various aspect with focus on horses and riders, especially those with physical disabilities through past injuries, fears or having physical weaknesses.
We are also able to plan and build a suitable training program to develop both rider and horse and get them to their desired goals.

Throughout the year we are also offering various academical courses, suitable for anyone to learn about horse care and management, horse welfare and behavior issues as well as competition rules on all equestrian sports.

Ambitious riders will also have the possibility to compete abroad with or without their own horses in case they would like to further their experience. For more information please do not hesitate to get in contact with us.
