Il 26 Dicembre French Toast per tutti i bambini in visita

Doc dopo la prima nevicata del 2011
Il giorno dopo Natale, tra le undici e mezzogiorno, Marco si esibirà, invece che a cavallo, ai fornelli, preparando french toast per tutti i bambini che verranno a visitare Rancho Comancho con i loro genitori. Sarà l’occasione per farsi gli auguri, per dare un’occhiata ai cavalli e alle nuove strutture del club e magari, perchè no, per scoprire come ci si può iscrivere a un corso di equitazione (anche per i più grandi). Se ci sarà ancora neve, saremo felici di fornire sacchetti per lanciarsi lungo i pendii come facevano Sean, Alexia e Sacha fino a pochi anni fa.
Ovviamente siete tutti invitati, i french toast sono offerti dal club fino “a esaurimento scorte” a chi ha meno di dieci anni: per i genitori, visto il freddo, caffè americano in continuo. Per tutti, un bel fuoco acceso accanto all’arena.
Non serve prenotare (se lo fate, non dispiace), ma se qualcuno volesse far arrivare un bel sole…

Straight from the Horse's Heart
By DAN FROSCH of the New York Times
Carol Walker: “Seeing these horses out in the wild and then seeing them in a holding pen, it will break your heart,”
“FYI, we do not agree with the numbers or BLM propaganda that appears here but we hope that the comments made by Suzanne and Carol speak to the hearts and souls of the American public.” ~ R.T.
CAÑON CITY, Colo. — The herd of wild horses clopped cautiously toward the strangers in their pen. A chestnut mustang leaned in for a closer look, sniffing and snorting curiously. Another inched backward, her black eyes flashing with fear.
For many, this would be their first outside human contact, beyond the workers who feed them at this 80-acre holding facility 100 miles southwest of Denver.
“They have all their needs met here. Except their freedom,” said Fran Ackley, who oversees the Bureau of…

The Roan Gene in Horses
This is pretty interesting for our readers… Piuttosto interessante per i nostri lettori. Cercheremo di tradurlo presto.
Roan, like grey, is a pattern gene which sprinkles white hair over an otherwise normally pigmented animal. However, the pattern of white hair, the progression with age and the response to scarring are quite different from grey.
It should be pointed out that horsemen use the word “roan” quite loosely. In Thoroughbreds, for instance, it is used as a synonym for grey, particularly rose grey. There are several forms of roan covered by this loose usage, but the one discussed here is classic roan, which is due to the dominant roan gene. Frosty roan, varnish roan, roaned, rabicano and the roaning caused by some white spotting patterns will be discussed separately.
In classic roan the head, legs, mane and tail remain fully pigmented but there is an admixture of white hairs on the body of the horse. Foals are born roan or shed their foal coat to roan, and…
