busybody ( 1881 – 1899 ) , was a british thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won two british classic races in 1884 .

as a two-year-old in 1883 she won her first three races including the middle park plate and the great challenge stakes before sustaining her only defeat when conceding weight to the winner queen adelaide in the dewhurst stakes .

as a three-year-old she won the 1000 guineas over one mile at newmarket and the epsom oaks over one and a half miles at epsom downs racecourse a month later .

she was then retired to stud where she became a successful broodmare .

it was rare for a filly with a pedigree as impeccable as busybody ' s to come up for sale on the open market . yet busybody did , due to the decision of lord falmouth to retire from racing in the early 1880s . he held a dispersal sale of his mereworth castle stud bloodstock in the spring of 1884 . among the horses sold were harvester , who would dead - heat for victory in that year ' s derby with st . gatien , and busybody , winner of the middle park plate the previous season . george alexander baird purchased busybody , and in so doing , acquired another classic performer , for the filly went on to capture the one thousand guineas and oaks .

ne opposes the forward movement of the horse ; pressure applied behind supports it . as canadian clinician chris irwin explains , the place you are applying pressure is determined not by where you stand , but by your angle to the horse . in other words , where your belly button is aimed .
physically , we might have our body located behind the girth of the horse , thinking we ' re tapping into the horse ' s herding impulse . but if when that horse looks at us it sees that that belly button is aimed at the head , which nine times out of ten with people it is , that horse does not associate our movement with pushing . that horse associates our movement with capturing , and that ' s a fundamentally different message .

saddle . in riding , your seat and legs should meld with the horse ; your torso , arms and head should float , as if independent , above him . dressage instructor charles dekunffy says a good seat will make all of the riding aids more effective .
once that rider has an adhesive seat that travels on the directional wave of the horse ' s oscillating back , the adhesive seat that doesn ' t sit on the horse , but inside the horse ' s movement , that rider has no difficulty with any of the aids .
with an independent , adhesive seat , riding looks nearly effortless . without it , riding can look a lot like work .

i agree with trubandloki and amastrike . there is no reason for this boarder to be messing with your horse , no matter how good his intent . at best , it confuses your horse ' s care . at worst , he could accidentally do something that harms your horse . it ' s also just plain inappropriate behavior and a little weird to be so terribly concerned and involved about someone else ' s animal that is plainly receiving appropriate care for a chronic condition . btw , if this guy were to be accidentally injured while handling your horse you would be liable . amastrike put it well , but some people just don ' t get it , so you may find that you have to say things a little more firmly .

ch desired behavior . john wants the horse ' s response to be the same regardless of distractions around him . he likens it to the way we shake hands . you may have something on your mind , they reach their hand out and you automatically reach your hand for theirs . that ' s what i want the horse to do when i ' m riding him or working with him . i want him to be so focused on what i ' m asking and his response to the cue so automatic that that overrides the balloon coming at him or the ball or the car or any other distraction . of course , the horse can ' t do this unless you are giving him cues . so especially when there are lots of distractions around , you need to be giving your horse a steady stream of guidance , a steady stream of cues .

queen bertha ' s sixth foal was spinaway , a bay filly by macaroni foaled in 1872 . spinaway won 11 of 16 starts including the 1 , 000 guineas and emulated her dam by also proving victorious in the epsom oaks ( in which falmouth ' s ladylove was second ) , as well as winning the newmarket oaks , nassau stakes , doncaster stakes , royal stakes , and second in the ascot derby . spinaway produced stakes winners busybody and merry - go - round ( by scottish chief , won newmarket stakes ) .

. horses need a different kind of mental function , as natural horsemanship teacher pat parelli explains . people ask me all the time , are horses smart ? ' they ' re very smart . from eohippus millions of years ago , they have evolved by being observant to predators , places , changes , and things , and that ' s how they ' re smart . they ' re smart about surviving . the problem is , that is what frustrates us about the horse . fortunately , we humans have the intellectual tools to empathize with the horse , to imagine what the world would be like from his point of view . when we do that , we begin to understand what horse sense is all about .
ust afforded a partner . canadian clinician , equine behaviorist , and corporate trainer chris irwin puts it this way .
when we ' re working with the horse , we ' re trying to establish ourselves as an assertive , but non - threatening leader , to find that perfect bond with your horse where you are the one leading the dance , but it ' s not forced . it ' s not coerced . you ' ve truly developed a willing partnership with the horse .
taken to the workplace , this is a good model for an effective manager : someone who has the assertiveness to lead convincingly without threat or intimidation and with empathy for those he leads . how many bosses like that have you had ?
i would just make it clear to the guy , and anyone else to call the bm when they think there is a problem . i would never take out another boarders horse without their permission , and unless it was life or death i would freak if someone took out my horse without me knowing about it . perhaps put a big sign on your stall mentioning your horse ' s anhydrosis , some of the warning signs and both yours and the barn managers phone numbers with instructions to contact you or the bm if anything looks abnormal . a friend of mine had a horse who was undergoing testing and was on vet ' s watch and had to monitor his water intake . she had to post signs all over her stall not to fill his water bucket if it was empty . because of do - gooders always filling his bucket if it was getting low it took her a few more weeks before she could get an accurate gauge on how many gallons he was drinking .

three years later the great bahram gave notice of his immense talent as he won the gimcrack stakes and middle park stakes . in 1935 he was a fantastic winner of the triple crown and became the last horse to accomplish this feat before nijinsky in 1970 .
o the port or rise in the mouthpiece was a spade , a spoon - like piece of metal which rested between the horse ' s tongue and the roof of his mouth . show horse trainer richard shrake .
that port now became what we call a pre - signal . and before the chin strap would actually tighten up , that port would kind of bump the soft palette of the mouth and warn him that you ' re about to pull on the rein . so this horse that maybe took a little tug before now is so light , all you needed to do is squeeze your fingers just like you ' d squeeze a washcloth .
the thing to remember about any bit is that it is only as gentle or cruel as the rider attached to it .

t of time for training , so he has to be very careful about which horses he accepts . al dunning , trainer of world champion reining , cutting and cow horses , talks about the selection criteria he uses .
you want one that ' s bred impeccably , that ' s beautiful , that has the right stout conformation that can do these events , because these are all real physical events . and then i want a horse that has some intelligence , too . because the most beautiful horse , the most perfectly bred , you never can tell . there might be two things you can ' t tell right off , and that ' s the heart and the mind .
of course , in timed events , including racing , a horse ' s background , beauty and brains aren ' t nearly as important .

i feel like it was a catch 22 : i thankful he took the time to hose my horse down . . . any extra hosing to an anhydrosis horse is appreciated . . . . on the other hand , if he had gone into my horse ' s stall and he had kicked out or bolted out of his stall i would have felt horrible , esp . because this person has had serious health issues in the past . and i would have felt and sounded like a jerk if i had said

, which i would never have done anyway ! i am pretty sure my tone indicated my irritation when we spoke . and my barn manager and i had a long conversation about the situation afterwards , so i doubt i will be getting any more calls . . . anyway , i am looking forward to september when the temps go back to ' normal ' !
can ' t edit but wanted to add i also run the bandage up the tendon before going round the leg so the tendon doesn ' t have ' ridges ' of bandage on it . this . i cannot bear tendons wrapped with bandage next to the skin , so it makes ridges across the tendons . it horrifies me , however good the bandager . allegedly it ' s fine for pc ' b ' test though , that ' s what they preach . eeekkk . back in the dark ages i used to use stretchy cotton exercise bandages over gamgee , and then later graduated to using them over porter boots . i never had one slip or unravel , but was very happy to move on to boots instead . much prefer them . btw . . . * sticks safety busybody hat on * - i have heard of two people killed and one paralysed by horse falling on gallops due to tripping over an unravelling bandage . i ' d never use them on the gallops . . .
wheel of fortune was a disappointing producer , however . she was purchased by the duke of portland at falmouth ' s dispersal in 1884 , but the change of location did not change her fortunes as a broodmare . she was buried in the welbeck abbey horse cemetery when she died in 1903 . her son oberon ( 1883 by galopin ) sired a few good broodmares , including the dams of irish derby winner killeagh , and the desmond horse , fairy king . wheel of fortune ' s daughter ouagle ( by galopin ) became the ancestress of the french runner and sire l ' oriflamme ( 1930 ) .
yes , and my response would be to 1st alert the bm and / or bo , who are on site and are ultimately in charge of the horse ' s well being when the owner isn ' t there . ( if i were just another boarder and not a barn employee , that is )
i agree with fordtraktor . i know you say that you have total confidence in the barn staff , but if i were you i would make a point to stop by and check in at a time that you are not expected to be there , to see if your horse is comfortable and has water .
inton anderson often encounters what you might call the abuse excuse .
when you take all this emotional baggage with you to the arena , every time your horse does something silly or something you don ' t want , you say , ' ah , well he ' s got a good reason to act like that because he was abused . ' so when i get an owner like that , i say , ' hey , you ' re in luck ! you just bought the horse from me today . you don ' t know any history . you don ' t know anything about it . start moving on . ' and as soon as the owner treats it like that , you ' d be amazed at the improvement they make .
think about how horses treat each other . if a new horse joins the herd , the other horses expect him to behave appropriately today . they really don ' t care what happened before .

hmm . . . i guess i would let it go . the guy perceived what he considered an emergency and took appropriate but noninvasive action ( cooling down a panting horse by hosing it sounds reasonable to me , and i do think potential overheating is an emergency that requires attention immediately ) . just because he wasn ' t panting the next day doesn ' t mean he wasn ' t panting when the guy found him . if the horses needed water i think i would be thankful a boarder gave it to him . topping off , not necessary , but refilling sort of implies the horse did not have much water which is a huge problem . usually people complain because they weren ' t told about something like this ! i am very sorry he made you worry . i know how tough it can be to think something might be wrong and not be able to get to the barn . very scary for you . i am glad the horse is ok .

the 20 th century had barely begun when the outstanding sceptre won the 1902 oaks , one of four classic triumphs that year , making her the only horse to achieve this feat outright . she may well have won the derby too but bruised a foot days beforehand and in the event ran well to finish fourth to ard patrick .
honestly , i would hope that i am in a boarding barn situation where the staff and other boarder pay notice to my horses . last night boarder calls me and says your horse is sweaty ( just moved to a different location of the barn and was nervous ) i took him out , hosed and gave him more hay to settle down with . all i can say is thank you so much for that . i appreciate you being aware of his different attitude . now , if i had daily calls on my horse ( which i see everyday anyway ) i would have to nip that in the bud . i would be nice to the boarder . . . just helping out .
i agree with fordtraktor and stryder . at one previous barn , one of my horses ( cloudy of course ) ate his fan cord and was in his stall during a hot day w / o his fan running . he also had drunk both buckets of water . a fellow boarder discovered this , and took him out , hosed him down , and refilled his buckets . she also topped off callie ' s buckets . while i would worry if someone i did not know as a good horse handler took one of my horses out of his / her stall , i think someone who is present and sees , in my case , a horse soaked with sweat , is to be commended . i guess in your situation , it would be better for the boarder to call the bm or the barn worker . but what if neither was home at that particular moment ? i did board once where a boarder did not want anyone touching her paint who stayed inside his stall with no fan or window open 24 / 7 in a blanket and neck rug . in se ga . in the summer . once that horse panicked when a deer was shot right by the barn and i discovered him bashing himself against the stall walls . i called the owner and she said don ' t do anything . . she showed up an hour or so later when the horse was so tired he couldn ' t move .
uldn ' t have survived . unfortunately , all this anxiety lying so near the surface makes them do things like rearing , bolting or bucking , which put us in real danger . native american trainer and author gawani pony boy . i have found that the most effective solution to the anxious horse is becoming more important than everything else on the face of the earth and when you earn that status , the anxiety goes away because they feel confident near you , rather than confident near the barn or the other horses or whatever it is that makes them feel confident . horses are comforted by being in a herd , because the leader of the herd is watching out for them . you need to be that leader with your horse .
bell ' s lifo comes out now twice a week , on wednesday and saturday , and has been reduced from ( id to ld a copy , i has been vastly improved of late years , and still further improvements are in course of being effected . the illustrated sporting and dramatic news has commenced a series of beautifully executed coloured portraits of celebrated english jockeys and the first , that of fred . archer , is just to hand . in tho letter - prosa is an account of nn interview with the crack horsomau , iv which we read that archer thinks the bost horsa he ever rode is the duke of fortlimd ' s st . simon , the unbeaten two - year - old of last season ; aud next to him lord falmouth ' s crack filly wheel of fortune . he eaid that matthew dawson expected harvester would at the salo fetch wall ovor £5000 , and busybody £8000 or £10 , 000—say 15 , 000 guineas for the tho pair . [ they were to be sold just before tbe two thousand guineas and - one thousand guineas stakes , the former of which is worth from £5000 to £gooo , tho latter from £4000 to £5000 . harvester ran third in the former , while busybody won the latter ] . archer then went on to make tho following remarks on riding : —
lt isn ' t the getting away first so much as how you get away , how you set your horse going , i mean ; that makes all the difference . you can ' t set a horao going at once if you havo a tight hold of his head . you ofton see a jockey at tha post in a five - furlong raco pulling at hia horee , as nervous as ho can be , watching tho starter . the flag falls , and he lets go of the reins , but his horeo isn ' t ready to slip off at his beat pace . i ' ve always got my lioiso ready to go , but not pulling at him ; and thoa when we do start , i am at full speed at once it ' s
ected . but in every case , responding emotionally makes the situation worse . since we can ' t simply turn off our emotions , dr . robert miller offers this suggestion .
we have to discipline ourselves that when that occurs – not if , because it will occur - we ' re human beings , we ' re going to get angry sometimes , we ' re going to be afraid sometimes , and we ' re going to be impatient sometimes . and what you do is stop right there and walk away from that horse , because you have lost the ability to communicate with a horse when you are impatient or angry or afraid .
walking away may require swallowing your pride . but that ' s one more emotion you can ' t allow to rule you .

the 1980 middle park went to mattaboy , a colt who was narrowly defeated by to agori mou in the 1981 2 , 000 guineas . then after cajun had won the race for sir henry cecil in 1981 , the champion trainer added a second consecutive middle park stakes in 1982 , through diesis . the son of sharpen up , racing in the apricot silks of lord howard de walden , was a fully brother to kris and then won a sensational dewhurst stakes in which the long odds - on favourite and so - called “wonder horse” gorytus was virtually pulled up amid allegations of doping . the headlines rather robbed diesis of his achievement in winning the double and he became the last horse to win both the middle park stakes and the dewhurst stakes , although he sadly failed to reproduce his form in 1983 .

the horse that ' s being aggressive towards you is saying , ' this is my space . i let you in it up until now , but now it ' s time for you to get out . so get out of my space already ! ' it becomes a question of who owns this land . and through some exercises we try to teach the horse that we are more qualified to own this property than they are and that we have rights to this property and they don ' t until we share it with them .
using a language of gestures and body positioning that horses understand , the handler establishes himself as the dominant individual . it is only from this position of power that respect can be obtained and aggression can be curbed .
back when i was on ponies ( ok only 12 - 13 years but seems years ago : p ) you had to boot / bandage for mounted prize givings . the rule came in after a very very top gp horse was kicked in a prize giving ending its career if i remember rightly . and as at the time we did everything on a budget white bandages were far cheaper than a set of white brushing boots which i wouldn ' t otherwise use so bandaging it was ! thread certainly has become interesting reading for which i ' m glad : d it was nicole uphoff ' s rembrandt ( then the top horse in the world ) who got kicked in a prizegiving , ending his career . do you specifically have to bandage not boot for mounted prize givings ? learn a new thing every day !
thanks tontonan for all of the information ! i find it fascinating so keep it coming because i suspect quite a few others are reading this information without taking the time to comment . in my opinion , it is extremely difficult to research horse racing history as long back as you did so it is a credit to you to that you accepted and even pointed out the flaws because i appreciate the ‘corrections’ . keep the information coming !
bahamian bounty won the 1996 middle park stakes but disappointed in the dewhurst stakes and the following year david morley was back in the winners’ enclosure thanks to hayil . tragically morley passed away early the next year and the horse moved to the french yard of freddie head but never made an impression . the middle park stakes really underlined the training prowess of david morley who had successfully trained national hunt horses since the early 1970s and was a hugely popular figure .
the theory ( as i know it ) is that they support the leg . in reality they all do naff all . the only way they can support the leg is robert jones type bandages or bandages that are so tight they ' re damaging . bandages as the majority of people do them have the same action as brushing boots and the only reason i occasionally use them is that my horse has windgalls therefore i sometimes stuggle to get boots that fit well .
sorry , as a bo it bugs me to no end when

boarders and visitors feel the need to top off water buckets and assess all the horses and then proceed to call the owner with some sort of
observation
. if there is something that looks wrong or needs filling , please contact the bo / bm first . they really do know their horses and what is normal / abnormal behavior for each one . if you add water to someone ' s bucket , leave a note or else we will think dobbin is not drinking ! unless you are an employee , do not touch anyone ' s horse without permission . come and enjoy your horse . extra eyes are always appreciated but contact the staff when you think something is nqr . cell phones numbers are posted in the barn , please use them ! ! betteroffred : i would let your bo know what is going on and let them handle this boarder if it continues .
the grafter was a different proposition . he was a 5yo , his pedigree was tight and had run his brother gaulus to a half head in the 1897 melbourne cup and covered himself with glory in the spring of 1898 - but was possibly the ugliest horse you ever saw with a pronounced ' roman nose ' that earned him the epiteth of ' his ugliness ' . but racing has never been a beauty pageant - and in the grafter ' s case , just as well .
i never bandage , i had to do it for my stage 2 so know how to do it but i always worry that they ' d come undone and do an injury . when my horse comes in to winter stable hours i use stable chaps on puffy legs . mind you i also dislike travel boots with a passion . i pop brushing boots on for schooling though , nothing for hacking . do you have to wear bandages for affiliated prize givings . . ? you learn something new every day !
certainly the middle park stakes does not hold the same sway it did 50 years ago , when it was a major pointer to the following year’s classics . often the speedier early season type of horse competes in the race nowadays and it has perhaps more bearing on the following year’s major sprints . however every so often a rodrigo de triano might come along and the race remains one of the big prizes of the year as one of only three group 1 races exclusively run for two year old colts in britain .
well there has been some seriously bad bandaging exhibited since the matchy matchy came into force ! i did polo ponies for ten years and they never had bandages on without fybatack / gamgee underneath ( and a chucka lasts 6 mins ) so never on longer than half hour ! ! a nice well cut pair / set of neoprene boots ( in whatever color you like ) that fits the horse are less likely to throw up any probs than bandages . and quicker to wash / quicker to put on and off !

another brilliant colt appeared in the 1888 middle park stakes , which was won in terrific style by donovan . the colt had started off winning the brocklesby stakes at lincoln and later won at the royal meeting . after landing the middle park stakes donovan stepped up to 7 furlongs and became the latest horse to add the dewhurst stakes and by the season’s end , had won 11 of his 13 races . as a 3 year old , donovan won the derby and st leger and was denied a triple crown by just a head in the 2 , 000 guineas .

paul pry was also at the center of an affair that saw his owner sir rupert clarke disqualified for a whole 30 minutes over a misunderstanding that led to a horse in his name racing at an unregistered pony track . the upshot of this brief disqualification was that all his nominations were voided , including those for paul pry in the grand national hurdle and the caulfield and melbourne cups . as a result sir rupert vowed never to race his horses again in victoria . he relented after two seasons but that was enough to disrupt the career of paul pry who was in his prime when the disqualification was imposed .
with 65 . 5kg marvel resumed in the doncaster and drifted in the market to 10 / 1 then 16 / 1 when word leaked that he was not fancied by the stable in the field of 40 ( ! ) but what a marvel he was to win by a neck to become the first horse since dundee won the inaugurals to win the epsom - doncaster double . in all aged stakes his colours were lowered by bungebah and the filly trieste in a grand race , and he came out again later in the day to win the cumberland stakes beating highborn and strathmore by two and a half lengths .
i am that old that when i was an event groom we bandaged over porter boots and the tapes were sewn down ! you should always bandage towards the tail and have the crease of the pad facing backwards . the tension should be such that you can put your little finger inside the bandage once its on . i use polo wraps at home when i can be bothered , more often than not i will use sports boots . my horse had a robert jones banadage on when he fractured his radius . caused his leg to swell and errupt , he now has lovey white hair all patchy down his leg , unique !


the japanese scops owl ( otus semitorques ) is an owl which is a resident breeder in japan .

it is also found in china , korea and russia .

this species is a part of the larger grouping of owls known as typical owls , strigidae , which contains over 90 % of owl species .

the other grouping is the barn owls , tytonidae .

it is very similar to the slightly smaller collared scops owl , o. bakkamoena of which it is sometimes considered a race .

it nests in tree holes .

the call of the male is a low sad sounding whoop .

japanese scops owl

the japanese scops owl is a small owl with long , prominent ear - tufts .
japanese scops owl song taken from disc 1 of japanese bird songs vol . 2 ( victor ae 160 ) .
same recording as xc377146 . this is a pair between a male oriental scops owl and a female japanese scops owl . the female voices are at 0 : 00 , 0 : 03 , 0 : 06 etc . see the explanation of xc377146 for more details . the feature of the bird was visually recorded by other observers .
presumably this species as we observed it moments before , but no visual id , so ryukyu scops owl is also a possibility .
21–26 cm ; c . 130 g ; wingspan 60–66 cm . medium - sized , greyish - brown scops - owl with relatively long , pointed wings ( wing length 153–196 mm ) ; p7 longest . . . .

justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified , but the species is reported to be widespread and locally common ( del hoyo et al . 1999 ) . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats .

heard around the lake , try this sound later in tobishima around the 13 / 05 / 18 and see a bird after playback of this sound . there is northern boobook in the back ground . amplified 20db
two birds calling on this track , perhaps a pair . this seems like an odd call and is perhaps an alarm ? same bird as xc156141 .
suspected id . distant voice recorded 4 min before xc320364 . the sounds have a similar repeated pattern but with even lower frequencies ( 300 hz ) . see xc320364 for more details . amplified around the frequencies .
suspected id . the same place as in xc320364 and xc320370 . i forgot to restore the microphone setting and the low sound was not ideally recorded . the low notes were heard more clearly . amplified around the frequencies .
