aeolidia loui is a species of sea slugs , an aeolid nudibranch , a marine gastropod mollusc in the family aeolidiidae .

it has been regarded as the same species as the ne atlantic aeolidia papillosa but is now known to be a distinct species .

aeolidia loui

california all the california material from the paper ended up being a . loui , so if you choose accept their level of sampling from this region , i guess you would call californian slugs a . loui , but see the caveats below .
but a . papillosa , a . filomenae and a . loui all have relatively smooth cerata . check this photo by gary mcdonald : urltoken

kienberger et al . ( 2016 ) have split aeolidia papillosa into at least three species based on molecular and morphological evidence . they can be roughly separated geographically , as shown in this figure from the paper :
aeolidia papillosa ( linnaeus , 1761 ) is a well - known aeolidiid species that has been reported to have a worldwide distribution in cold–temperate waters , mainly from the northern hemisphere . molecular tools have recently shown that most . . . more
the abstract and figures are on researchgate . the map with the distribution of a . papillosa , a . loui and a . filomenae should be clarifying for those not too familiar with nudibranchs . urltoken
sorry , i meant to say the rhinophores . separating loui from papillosa seems to hinge on that , if i ' m reading the paper correctly . i ' m looking for something to compare with urltoken
oregon a . papillosa : rhinophores relatively smooth , may appear rough but not warty ( photos from russia , norway , but also see this rather warty individual from british columbia ) . a . loui : rhinophores obviously warty ( photo ) .

looking at alexander semenov ' s photos , i think we can call those rhinophores
textured
or
rough
but not
warty
: urltoken so i guess distribution and the warts on the rhinophores make good criteria to identify the observations of a . loui .
ian smith did a first draft on visually distinguish a . papillosa from a . filomenae in the overlapping areas ( uk , ireland , atlantic coast of france and the netherlands ) : urltoken @ n08 / 27695072175 / observations for the iberian peninsula should all be a . filomenae . observations for the nw atlantic should all be a . papillosa . observations for the n pacific in the sea of okhotsk , bering sea and alaska , british columbia and washington should all be a . papillosa . observations for california should all be a . loui ( oregon is likely to have a . papillosa and a . loui overlapping ) .

for example , here ' s an observation from northern california that certainly isn ' t
covered by irregular warts
as kienberger et al . describe a . loui in their paper : urltoken . if those individuals look like what kienberger describe as a . papillosa , then i ' d like to make sure californians know to be on the lookout for a . papillosa sensu stricto and check those rhinophores .
i now realized you meant rhinophores and not cerata . i ' m not sure if ian ' s suggestion on the warty / smooth rhinophores distinguishing a . loui from a . papillosa is valid . check this photo of a . papillosa by alexander semenov ( from russia ) : urltoken and i was looking at details of my photos of a . filomenae and although they may be less warty , they do show some small papillae .

during the past decade or so , dna - based research from multiple laboratories ( including those of juan lucas cervera , ángel valdés and terry gosliner ) has resulted in numerous taxonomic changes to the heterobranch fauna of the eastern pacific and elsewhere . the majority of these studies have re - examined species with wide or even disjunct distribution patterns , resulting in specimens from previously - identified species now considered species in their own right . this is a case in point .
( linnaeus , 1761 ) had traditionally been known as a single , wide - ranging species in the northern hemisphere and from chile . shallow water specimens from california were assigned to this species ( marcus , 1961 ; macfarland , 1966 ) , and deep water specimens were considered
. kienberger et al . ( 2016 ) have shown that these animals are actually part of a species complex of sibling species . the chilean species is
( kienberger et al . , 2016 ) occurs in the northeast atlantic from scotland to portugal . the amphiboreal
is restricted to the northern atlantic and northern pacific . in the northeast pacific it ranges from cook inlet , alaska , to washington . both
have papillate ( or rugose ) rhinophores ; the other three species have smooth rhinophores .
alaska ; see behrens , 2004 : 26 ) . kienberger et al . ( 2016 ) reported the distribution of
from cape arago , oregon , to san diego , california ( type locality , duxbury reef , central california ) . steve gardner’s images in bow 407 from la jolla shores are of
is rather variable , ranging from translucent white to bright orange or brown . there are opaque white marks on the dorsum ; some may be covered with light - ochre or brown spots / flecks . distinguishing this species from the other shallow water species of
are the rugose , warty rhinophores , and the bristly , flattened cerata , which are broader at their base . bertsch ( 1974 ) published the first sems
differs from its deep - water californian congener by possessing a cleioproctic , not pleuroproctic , anus .

observations from the iberian peninsula should all be a . filomenae . observations from the nw atlantic should all be a . papillosa . observations from the n pacific in the sea of okhotsk , bering sea and alaska , british columbia and washington should all be a . papillosa . observations from chile should all be a . campbellii .
northern europe see ian smith ' s breakdown , but briefly : a . filmonae : cerata flattened , broader at the base a . papillosa : cerata not flattened , uniform diameter until tip .
the ambiguity left by the authors means i can no longer id any of these slugs to species without a dna sequencer or dissection , so i will regretfully just be re - identifying all my own observations to genus level . however , that ' s just my opinion . the paper ' s taxonomic changes have been accepted by worms so we accept them here on inat too . use your own judgement in updating your own data .
do you have a good pic of the cerata of a . papillosa sensu stricto showing that they are relatively smooth ?
unfortunately a . papillosa doesn ' t occur around these parts , only a . filomenae . and even then . . . i know of only about half a dozen observations here in portugal in the past 15 years , two of them by me .
cool , thanks for that pic . the rhinophore texture may or may not be valid , but it is something kienberger et al . point out , so i am just trying to communicate what they wrote for people who don ' t have access to their closed - access paper . imo , all pics i can find show somewhat papillose rhinophores , but there does seem to be a difference in degree between californian specimens like urltoken and photos like urltoken .
i think the shallow warts on a . papillosa ( even in alexander semenov ' s photo ) and a . filomenae are definitely smoother than the relatively conspicuous papillae of gary ' s photo . let me see if i can find some photos from norway and sweden . christian skauge must have some , surely .
sigh , and here ' s a really warty one from british columbia : urltoken . i ' m becoming less and less satisfied with this paper . if there are no macroscopic , external morphological differences , i wish they had just said so .
i was trying to remember a case of a species which sometimes appeared to have ringed rhinophores , other smooth and even warty . went to christian ' s website and voilá , a flabellina pedata which appears to have warty rhinophores . . . although often described as smooth : urltoken

moses ( 1819 – after 1830 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

in a career that lasted from april 1822 to may 1823 he ran five times and won four races .

in 1822 , when three years old , he won all three of his races and became the second of six colts owned by members of the british royal family to win the epsom derby .

his subsequent career was restricted by injuries and he was retired after sustaining his only defeat .

he had limited success as a sire of winners and was exported to germany in 1830 .

moses austin never fully recovered from his bout with pneumonia . he overworked himself trying to settle his financial affairs and became so ill that he could not even dismount his horse by himself during a trip to emily’s house . austin was bedridden for several days , and on his deathbed , passed the responsibility of colonizing texas to his son , stephen f . austin , who is remembered today as “the father of texas . ” on june 10 , 1821 , moses austin died . he was still $ 15 , 000 in debt . maria lived in poverty in herculaneum until her death three years later . emily had their bodies moved to potosi in 1831 .

the state of texas recognizes moses austin as an important historical figure . when a texan undertaker was sent to relocate austin’s body to the texas state cemetery in 1938 , the local government of potosi stopped him . after a legal battle over austin’s remains , the state of texas decided instead to honor austin with a statue in san antonio the next year . moses austin’s grave site in potosi remains near the spot where his majestic durham hall once stood .
as a merchant , moses austin learned how to judge the value of trade items and began the lifelong practice of buying and selling on credit , since cash was often hard to come by at this time . in 1783 moses started a shop near stephen’s business in philadelphia . there he fell in love with mary brown ( whom he called maria ) and married her on september 28 , 1785 , after opening a branch of his business in richmond , virginia .
as austin’s finances collapsed and his social standing declined , he made plans to leave missouri . on may 12 , 1820 , austin sold his lead - shot facility in herculaneum for $ 2 , 000 and used the money for a trip to the spanish territory of texas . after making preparations for several months in arkansas with stephen f . , moses borrowed a horse and departed in october for texas with richmond , one of stephen f . ’s slaves . they arrived in late december .

in 1789 moses and stephen became partners in a mine on the virginia frontier . initially , they were greatly successful . they convinced the u . s . congress to raise a tax on lead imported from foreign countries , which encouraged people to buy american lead . they also were paid to put a lead roof on the virginia state capitol building . more good news came in 1793 when stephen f . austin , moses’s son and brother stephen’s namesake , was born .
sir thomas ' s final appearance came on 10 may when he ran in a 50 guinea sweepstakes
from the end of the rowley mile to the end of the beacon corse
. he finished fourth of the five runners behind mr dawson ' s horse coriander .
austin attempted to remedy his financial problems by leasing a large number of slaves to work in the mines , but this proved too costly and only caused more debt . moses tried placing stephen f . in charge of the mine , but it did not help . as a final attempt to change their fortunes , moses and his son stephen f . helped start a new bank , called the bank of st . louis . their finances were utterly ruined when the bank failed during the
moses austin was born in durham , connecticut , on october 4 , 1761 . he was the youngest of nine children born to elias austin and eunice phelps austin . as a child , moses attended durham’s small community schoolhouse . although his formal education was limited , he developed a love of books . both of his parents died by the time he was fifteen . afterward , austin moved to middletown , connecticut , where his brother stephen gave him a loan to start a merchant shop .
until 1913 , there was no requirement for british racehorses to have official names , [ 3 ] and the horse who later became known as the duchess competed in 1811 as mr . w . wilson ' s b . f . by cardinal york , dam by beningbrough .
property for sale in september 1820 , moses austin sold the mine á breton tract , including his large estate , in order to pay off his debts . [ st . louis missouri gazette , september 20 , 1820 , page 3 , column 6 ]

when jacobs joined this community action as a mere foot soldier , she hadn ' t yet become a public figure , but moses ' s power and influence were already in retreat . in 1960 he resigned as parks commissioner , construction coordinator and chairman of slum clearance to become chief executive of the 1964 world ' s fair . for obvious dramatic reasons , flint is keen for moses to appear as
the man behind the curtain
, the wizard that jacobs rendered impotent in her later campaigns . in truth , her real bogey - figures were two earlier planning theorists , ebenezer howard and le corbusier . they were the two men who had , she felt , many years earlier set the flawed agenda for city planning that paternalists such as moses were now imposing all over america .
shortly after austin returned to virginia in march 1797 , the price of lead dropped by about half because the congress lowered its tax on foreign lead . moses dropped out of his partnership with stephen , who went bankrupt , and the two had a major falling out over money . after moses received permission from the spanish , he left for missouri in june 1798 with a small group of men , women , children , and slaves . after a trip fraught with illness and death , they reached mine á breton in october .
snow knight won the the epsom derby , then the following year earned an eclipse award as the american champion male turf horse . at stud he sired awaasif , the dam of snow bride , winner of the 1989 epsom oaks and the dam of lammtarra , winner of the 1995 epsom derby .
in the past , a horse with a broken leg was a dead horse . even though fracture repair surgery has long been possible and is internally very similar to the techniques used in humans and domestic animals , the successful healing of fractures in horses is heavily dependant upon the stabilization done in the field and the ability to immobilize the limb after surgery . great strides have made in the post - surgical immobilization of fractures meaning more and more horses are able to survive leg fractures , but the owner must take certain crucial steps before surgery is attempted to ensure that repair is a possibility .
sir thomas reappeared as a four - year - old in the jockey stakes over the four - mile beacon course at newmarket on 28 april . eleven of the thirteen entries were withdrawn and sir thomas won at odds of 1 / 10 from his only remaining opponent , lord derby ' s horse director .
seymour ( gb ) b c 1807 ( delpini - bay javelin , by javelin ) . sire line highflyer . family 3 - a . bred by the duke of hamilton he sired the second dam of the derby winner amato ( br c 1835 velocipede ) . although the derby winner moses ( b c 1819 ) is generally assumed to have been sired by seymour , the second covering stallion , moses was advertised in the racing calendar as
got by whalebone , his dam by gohanna , out of grey skim
[ weatherby ' s 1824 : 502 ] .
on the way back , austin discovered that a fellow traveler , jacob kirkham , was trading in illegal livestock . kirkham then stranded moses and richmond in the wilderness without horses or supplies . that night , austin survived an attack by a wild panther , but both he and richmond caught
the horse must be calmed before any assessment or treatment of the injury can or should be attempted . a thrashing animal is not only very dangerous to handlers ; it may cause more damage to the fracture which may make healing more difficult . the veterinarian will administer tranquilizers and pain medications to facilitate examination and splinting .

george washington carver was born in kansas territory near diamond grove , missouri , during the bloody struggle between free - soilers and slaveholders . his father , a slave on a nearby farm , was killed shortly before carver was born . carver himself became the kidnap victim of night riders while still a baby . with his mother and brother , james , he was held for ransom . before they were rescued , his mother died . moses carver , a german farmer , ransomed ( traded ) the infant carver for a $ 300 race - horse . thus he was orphaned and left in the custody of a white guardian from early childhood .

lammtarra becomes the first horse to win the derby on his seasonal return since grand parade in 1919 and sets a record time of 2m 32 . 31s , beating mahmoud’s 2m 33 . 8s which was hand - timed in 1936 . the race is switched permanently from wednesday to saturday . vodafone takes over the sponsorship and remains the backer up to 2008 .
buehler , h . a . , “the wythe lead mines , ” 1917 ( c2092 ) this manuscript submitted to the missouri historical review gives biographical information about the men , such as moses austin and his brother stephen , who owned or operated the wythe lead mines in wythe county , virginia , between 1750 and 1812 .
breckenridge , clarence edward ( 1877 - 1963 ) , papers , 1897 - 1960 ( c1037 ) folder 10 in this collection contains a speech delivered on march 21 , 1949 , before the u . s . house of representatives by a . s . j . carnahan , entitled “moses austin and the lure of lead . ”
it was only when moses tried to bring light and air into the city that he was charged with elitism . like jacobs , he wanted to democratise space - it was just his techniques that were different . he compared himself to baron haussmann , whose
dictatorial talents enabled him to accomplish a vast amount in a very short time , but also made him many enemies , for he was in the habit of riding roughshod over all opposition
. like haussmann , moses thought the end always justified the means , that the old should make way for the new , that the medieval warren should make way for glorious parks , apartment buildings and boulevards .
severely disrupted business on the western frontier as well . in 1812 the mine produced about half of its 1808 total . when maria , brown , and emily ran out of money on a trip to philadelphia in 1811 , they had to live off the charity of others for two years because moses could not afford to bring them home .
our signature program , united neigh , addresses the high school graduation rate of at - risk youth in the lynchburg area . participants follow a program that instills self - confidence , a strong sense of personal responsibility , recognition of the value of teamwork , civic responsibility , and real - life workplace skills . this is accomplished through a bond of trust with a horse whose background is , too often , just as painful as their own . tutors are available each session to work with the youth on their schoolwork . a rule of the program is that horse work always comes second to school work . to date we have a 100 % high school graduation rate among its participants , and most impressive a 100 % rate of the participants continuing their education .
kris kin is the first supplementary entry to win the derby . the sir michael stoute - trained colt had initially been entered in the classic as a yearling but was scratched at the start of his three - year - old campaign . connections paid £90 , 000 to add the horse to the line - up at the five - day stage following his victory in chester’s dee stakes .
missouri , ste . genevieve . archives , 1756 - 1930 ( c3636 ) folder 113 contains images of legal paperwork referring to james bryan’s ( moses austin’s son - in - law ) administration of austin’s estate after his death . folder 304 contains legal papers and handwritten letters from austin regarding lawsuits with matthew mullins , robert greer , and bartholemew butcher and michel butcher .
jacobs , a journalist for the now - defunct
architectural forum
, was the most vocal critic of the planning philosophy to which moses adhered in his prolific 34 - year career , and she successfully fought such schemes as his lower manhattan expressway , that would have put a 10 - lane straight line across greenwich village , soho , little italy , chinatown and the lower east side . but their paths crossed only once , in 1958 , at a board of estimates hearing to decide the fate of washington square park . moses wanted to extend fifth avenue through the square , ostensibly to ease congestion in greenwich village ' s dense maze of streets , but also to reward developers building on 10 blocks he ' d razed to the south .
the contemporary turf observer , the druid , noted ,
this horse [ camel ] was as good as an annuity of 800 pounds [ sterling ] to mr . theobald [ his second owner ] for several seasons after the performances of touchstone had brought him so prominently into notice . . .
while in the possession of egremont , he spent the 1830 season at the grosvenor eaton stud , which was when he got touchstone on banter . after that , he was sold to william theobald , and stood thereafter at theobald ' s stockwell stud near clapham . next to touchstone , camel ' s best son was launcelot , a full brother to touchstone , who won the champagne stakes at age 2 and at age three placed second for the epsom derby and then went on to win the st . leger , narrowly beating the better horse , maroon .

a multi - horse finish rivals that of 1913 as the closest ever . in a four - way photo , sir percy beats dragon dancer , dylan thomas and hala bek a shorthead , a head and a short - head . seven winners have had the prefix sir : sir peter teazle ( 1787 ) , sir thomas ( 1788 ) , sir harry ( 1798 ) , sir bevys ( 1879 ) , sir visto ( 1895 ) , sir ivor ( 1968 ) , and most recently sir percy .
sterling ( gb ) b c 1868 ( oxford - whisper , by flatcatcher ) . sire line sterling . family 12 - a . considered to be a game , determined horse he won the liverpool cup . he retired to the yardley stud where he was among the top twenty champion sires four times . he sired the derby winner harvester ( br c 1881 ) , and three two thousand guineas winners : enterprise ( ch c 1884 ) , enthusiast ( ch c 1886 ) and paradox ( b c 1882 ) .
jacobs ' s children often played in the historic park and joined the battle to preserve it : they proved effective at collecting signatures , and were sometimes outfitted with sandwich boards that proclaimed ,
save the square !
( which had a double meaning in the hip village ) . not used to defeat , moses stormed out of the hearing shouting furiously :
there is nobody against this - nobody , nobody , nobody but a bunch of , a bunch of mothers .
sir thomas ( 1785 – after 1790 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse . in a career that lasted from october 1787 to may 1790 he ran thirteen or fourteen times and won nine or ten races . in 1788 he became the first horse owned by a member of the british royal family to win the epsom derby , having been bought as a two - year - old by the prince of wales who later became king george iv . following his win in the derby , sir thomas raced in the prince ' s ownership with some success until 1790 .
galileo’s half - brother sea the stars shows he is one of the greats as he powers to glory under veteran jockey mick kinane . the john oxx - trained colt becomes the first horse for 20 years to follow up victory in the 2000 guineas with success in the epsom classic and goes on to complete an unbeaten campaign with four further group one wins , annexing the coral - eclipse , juddmonte international , irish champion stakes and prix de l’arc de triomphe . investec takes over sponsorship of the derby and backs all the races at the two - day meeting at epsom .
austin’s inability to pay his enormous debts led to a wave of lawsuits from his creditors . he became so desperate for money that he was willing to sell mine á breton for less than one - third of its market value , but still could not find a buyer . on march 11 , 1820 , moses austin was arrested and put in jail for failing to pay his debts . ten days later , mine á breton was seized by the government ; eventually it was sold to settle a portion of austin’s debt .

moses austin was an important businessman and community builder on america’s frontier . he helped found austinville in virginia , and washington county and the cities of potosi and herculaneum in missouri . he improved transportation , trade links , and mining methods in these areas , and brought national attention to their mineral wealth . he also started the process of the colonization of texas . many americans moved to texas after austin received permission to colonize , and the territory ended up declaring its independence from mexico in 1836 . nine years later , texas became the twenty - eighth state of the united states .

snail ( gb ) [ wharton ' s or old ] c 17120c ( whynot - mare , by wilkinson ' s arabian ) . sire line fenwick barb . family 43 . he was first called old smales but his name was corrected in an old match book and the name snail is used in other pedigrees . he ran in 1718 for the duke of wharton without apparent success and he may have raced earlier for mr blacket . he sired young kitty burdett ( b f 1720 ) , milkmaid ( b f 1720 ) and the 4th dam of pharoah * ( b c 1753 chedworth ' s moses ) .
swordsman ( ire ) b c 1796 ( prizefighter - zara , by eclipse ) . sire line king herod . family 2 - b . owned by mr whaley he was said to have comparable shape , bone , sinew and strength to any horse in ireland . standing 15 hands 3 inches his beauty was matched by his turf performance . he won seven king ' s plates , a sweepstakes and a match . he covered at the curragh for a fee of six guineas for blood mares . he sired medora ( b f 1813 ) the dam of the st leger winner rockingham ( b c 1830 humphrey clinker ) and the chester cup winner the cardinal ( br c 1827 waxy pope ) .
spark ( gb ) [ old ] c 1700c ( honeycomb punch - wilkes ' old mare , by hautboy ) . sire line taffolet barb . family 11 . the general stud book notes that his dam , hautboy mare , may be grey wilkes [ gsb 1 : 383 ] , making him a half - brother to old country wench ( gr f 1712c snake ) and her sisters . this is confirmed by heber , who says :
spark , son of the famous honeycomb punch , and out of the robinson hautboy mare , bred by mr wilks , and was the dam of the dam of regulus
[ heber 1754 : 238 ] . he may have been the same horse as frampton ' s spark . the earl of bristol recorded in his diary that his famous horse wenn beat mr frampton ' s sparke on may 8 , 1708 [ royal studs : 207 ] . along with several useful daughters , he got offspring from sister to hanniball for cuthbert routh from 1723 to 1729 . spark mare was the 2nd dam of sampson ( b c 1745 blaze ) . another spark mare was the 2nd dam of * spark ( c 1733c aleppo ) , who was sent to america where he was a useful stallion at the stud of benjamin tasker in maryland . and yet another spark mare was the dam of the smiling ball colt , who sired bald partner ( ch c 1743 ) .
in 2007 , a triumvirate of revisionist exhibitions tried to remind us that moses , for all his many power - crazed faults , was once a popular figure . he was pugnacious and intransigent , but he was a bully , at least at first , for the people , using his power to bulldoze through the golf courses and country estates of the wealthy so that anyone would have easy access to the parks and beaches he created . flint tallies his impressive achievements :
13 bridges , two tunnels , 637 miles of highways , 658 playgrounds , ten giant public swimming pools , 17 state parks , and dozens of new or renovated city parks
.
spark ( gb ) [ tasker ' s ] c 1733c ( aleppo - sister to look - about - you , by bartlet ' s childers ) . sire line darley arabian . family 28 . bred by charles , 2nd lord tankerville , in northumberland , and later owned by charles fleetwood , of middlesex . the latter presented him to frederick , prince of wales , who in turn presented him to charles , 5th lord baltimore . imported in 1747 by benjamin tasker , he was the first english horse to reside in maryland . he stood at tasker ' s belair stud until his death in 1756 . he sired the full siblings hopper ' s pacolet ( gr c 1750c ) and gantt ' s mille ( f 1752c ) .
on december 8 , 1796 , moses austin and one of his workers set out on a two - thousand - mile round - trip journey through pristine wilderness to what is now southeast missouri . as they approached the mississippi river , they got lost in a huge snowstorm , ran out of food , and ended up sixty miles off course . in missouri , austin met john rice jones , an american who became his business partner and translator to the territory’s french population , and commandant françois vallé of ste . genevieve , another future business partner , who led austin to a place with exceptionally rich lead deposits called mine á breton . austin soon made a formal request for this land to the spanish government .
lap - dog ' s brother , spaniel ( 1828 ) , resembled his sire , whalebone , in that he was a small , long horse . he was a weedy youngster , and was sold to lord lowther for 150 guineas as a yearling and placed in training with joe rogers . he debuted at newmarket in a sweepstakes over the two year old course ( almost 3 / 4 of a mile ) for juveniles , and ran second to zany in a field of seven . he failed to place in newmarket ' s july stakes , and in a £50 juvenile race in october , both also over the tyc , and then ran third the nursery stakes ( carrying 7 st . - 12 lb to the 8 stone plus carried by the other four runners ) over the ditch mile in october .
an early close friend of carver was henry a . wallace ; the pair knew each other for forty - seven years . wallace said that carver often took him on botanical ( relating to plants ) expeditions , and it was he who first introduced wallace to the mysteries of plant fertilizers . carver was a shy and modest bachelor , an unmarried man . an attack of whooping cough ( a contagious disease that attacks the respiratory system ) as a child had permanently caused him to have a high - pitched tenor voice . he considered it a high duty to attend classes and was seldom absent . in 1908 he returned to the west to visit his ninety - six - year - old guardian , moses carver , and to visit the grave of his brother , james , in missouri .
brook hill is unique as it combines horse rescue and rehabilitation with a therapeutic riding program . as a fully accredited member of the global federation of animal sanctuaries , we have rescued and rehabilitated over 450 horses since our inception in 2001 . more than half of those rescued and rehabilitated horses are thoroughbreds , and we are one of only a few organizations in the us to be fully accredited by the thoroughbred aftercare alliance , providing the best possible care for our retired thoroughbred athletes . along the way , brook hill discovered the magic of the combination of horses and people ; how they inspire and enrich the human spirit , healing both the body and the mind . as a member center of the professional association of therapeutic horsemanship international ( path ) , brook hill farm provides equine assisted activities for youth and adults . through hard work and love the participants care for and heal their rescue horses , and very often find healing themselves .
ane jacobs is often portrayed as an almost mythic figure , locked with robert moses in an epic battle for the future of new york . she was the mother and determined journalist with owlish glasses and grey thatch of hair who cruised around greenwich village on a bicycle , her handbag stowed in a wicker basket on the handlebars . he was new york ' s seemingly unstoppable construction tsar , the man the press nicknamed
big bob the builder
, a master of backroom politics who was chauffeur - driven around the five boroughs in a black stretch limousine with pigskin seats . he wanted to tear down her house , neighbourhood , and much of the rest of new york so that he could cover it with superblocks and expressways . she took him on - david v goliath - and won . but was the dynamic as straightforward as that ?
on a recent visit to hudson street i found that a third of the stores and restaurants on jacobs ' s block are empty . jacobs died in 2006 , but her cast of shopkeepers were swept away by gentrification , of which , ironically , she represented the first wave , many years ago . the white horse tavern , where dylan thomas used to prop up the bar , has expanded down the street and is clogged with tourists , but chelsea cricket , which apparently offered designer clothing for toddlers in the storefront of jacobs ' s old home , closed earlier this year , as did the popular italian restaurant next door and two other eateries on the block - their windows whitewashed on the inside as the recession creates its own urban blight . a man with a moustache , whom jacobs would no doubt have thought a
character
, was sitting on one of these empty stoops shouting at passers - by ,
are you unhappy ?
flexible ( 1822 ) was bred at petworth and sold as a yearling to a mr . bartley , who soon therafter sold him to john mytton , who owned longwaist . flexible was out of themis , a sorcerer daughter , and true to his breeding , was a good distance horse . at age three he won a match at epsom , beating velasquez , followed by a win of the original stakes at bath . he placed second to mephistopheles in the st . leger stakes at cheltenham , and at the same meeting won £75 in a race against six other mostly older horses , but could only run third in the cheltenham cup , won by longwaist , who was still owned by fulwar craven . he went on to win the stourbridge cup , the town plate ( in two - mile heats ) at warwick , and shrewsbury ' s st . leger stakes ; he also ran second for warwick ' s st . leger stakes , beaten by doctor faustus .
jacobs is not only a hero of grassroots activists , but has set the agenda for urban planning for half a century . her utopian vision of greenwich village life has been exported unquestioningly to the rest of the world , where an urban stage set provides a background for disneyland - like islands of social fantasy that hardly relate to the rest of the city ( think of covent garden , which was also saved from an expressway ) ; suburbs have also been retrofitted so that they resemble little villages . in new york , many of the historic districts she helped save from the lower manhattan expressway , such as soho ' s cast - iron district , have become open - air museums or malls for tourists that are just as soulless as the cultural centres and high - rises she so abhorred . in these entertainment zones , any semblance of street ballet is swamped by the marching of out - of town consumers , most of whom got there via the bridges and tunnels moses built .
