Appaloosa breeding and their utilization
Zuzjaková, Eva ; Neumann, Cyril (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis is a summary of the basic information about breeding and utilization of appaloosa. A dominant characteristic of appaloosa is an attractive color coat pattern, which is caused through a set of genes called Leopard Complex (Lp). That is the reason, why in this thesis, at first, the history of presence of the Lp in genus Equus takes place. The presence of Lp can be found already in many cave paintings of prehistoric horses. During domestication, the coat pattern became important. The horses of the same color coat pattern, which have today appaloosa, are depicted in the Celts, Scythians and Etruscans tombs, as well as in murals of Chinese and Egyptian cultures. Significant breeding of the spotted horses are also documented in the Ferghana Valley in eastern Uzbekistan. In Europe at 16th century horses were expanded and a lot of them have spotted coat pattern. Then the Spanish settlers imported these horses to the America, where Nez Perce Indian tribe bred horses, which we know today as Appaloosa.
Furthermore, in this thesis the Appaloosa breed organization, which belongs complete to Appaloosa Horse club of America, is described. The breeding standard and characteristics, which are color coat pattern, mottled skin, visible white sclera and striped hooves are inducted. Seven various types of coat pattern and tree types of registration are also described.
The major problems in the appaloosa breed are inherited diseases. In this thesis the most serious five of them are identified. It is CSNB, congenital stationary night blindnes associated with a homozygous variant of LP gene. HYPP, hyperkalaemic periodic paralysis, which causes muscle spasm of affected horses. This disease was obtained from quarter horses. HERDA - Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia which causes irreversible damage to exposed skin. Another serious disease is PSSM, polysaccharide storage myopathy, which is one of many myopathy occuring in horses. The latter disease is lethal GBED. Affected foals lack the enzyme GBE which is necessary for the synthesis and storage of glycogen. In spite of the improving precautions, these diseases have not been fully eliminated from breeding.
Further, there are given the possibilities of using Appaloosa horses in sports, hobby and ranch works. The system of shows and their ratings is described as well.

Using of Dorn method and massages for horses
Kellerová, Dominika ; Navrátil, Jan (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
Práce seznamuje se základy anatomie kosterní a svalové soustavy, stavbou těla koně, Dornovou metodou a masážemi, z různých literárních zdrojů. V experimentální části je uvedeno pět konkrétních koní jak sportovních tak i rekreačních, na kterých byly zkoumány účinky Dornovy metody a masáží na jejich zdravotní stav. Ze závěru vyplývá, že účinky Dornovy metody a masáží u sledovaných jedinců měly pozitivní vliv na jejich zdravotní stav. Malé využívání těchto metod u zvířat přisuzuje ke špatné edukaci chovatelů zvířat o těchto metodách a jejich účincích na organismus zvířete.
This thesis inform about musculoskeletal system, horse body conformation, Dorn method, massages from different literary source. In experimental part is five specific horses from sport and hobby riding and the effects of Dorn method and massages on their healthy condition. The conclusion shows that effects on horse healthy condition is positive. Small using of this methods is probably problem with education the animal breeder of this methods and their positive effects on animal healthy condition.

Technigues and philosophy of the educational system horsemanship in relation to a man and a horse
Bílková, Šárka ; Neumann, Cyril (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
The work introduces the alternative method horsmanship in a horse training, that follows from behaviour of horses in their natural environment. It deals with ethology and a horse language, how they communicate with each other, next mental qualities of horses- instincts that are built in horses from everlasting. A part of the work is a chapter, that describes communication between a man and a horse based on the horse language, which the horse understands. This chapter presents a man´s communication with horses through a body language and helps to build a relantionship based on respect and confidence.

Hucul - adept at hippotherapy
Dvořáková, Barbora ; Neumann, Cyril (advisor) ; Starostová, Lucie (referee)
This bachelor thesis studies the possibilities of use of the hucul horse for the purpose of hippotherapy. Based on researches published in various articles and literature, we try to evaluate the suitability of the hucul horse for a horse assisted treatement. In order to make an objective assessment of the convenience of use of the hucul horse in hippotherapy, we firstly focuss on the history of this versatile breed from its first mentions through current state of hippotherapy in the Czech Republic up to critera of choice of the suitable hippotherapeutical horse and confrontation of these criteria with the character of the hucul horse.
First, we describe the origins of the small mountain horse Hucul that emerged with the eponym ethnic group inhabiting the eastern Carpathians. Further we study qualities and characteristics that this breed adopted living in a fairly inhospitable mountain environment and that really makes these horses unique comparing to other breeds. Next we summarize the breed standards as described in the studbook. The chapter on the current state of farming hucul horse then covers its use in our country and in the world as well as discusses the Hucul International Federation, an international association concerned with hucul breeding in seven European countries. Particular attention is paid to the current situation in the Czech Republic.
In the chapter about hippotherapy we name the purposes for which this treatment method is to be used, for which patients is this method suitable or not and what are the possible treatments and which of them are used in the Czech Republic. Last but not least, we shortly describe the basic conditions for the exercise of hippotherapy and who may conduct it and the attention is also paid to the Czech hippotherapy chamber and its current status.
In the last part we mention the guidelines for selecting horses for hippotherapy and compare these standards and rules with the characteristics and qualities of the hucul horse described earlier. On the basis of this comparison we evaluate the suitability of the hucul horse for the use in hippotherapy.

The most common diseases of the locomotive system in horses
Summary
The domestic horse (Equus caballus), was during the long evolution forced to adapt to changing environments. Especially its limbs have significant change, mainly reduction fingers. For horses are limbs very important, because they provide not only the ability to move, but also physiological processes in the animal body.
The bachelor thesis called The most common diseases of the locomotive
system in horses I was conceived as a comprehensive overview of the most common diseases of the limbs horses. With using a literature, I tried to write just the diseases, which we can meet.
For a better understanding of each disease I consider it important to have at
least basic knowledge of the anatomy of the limbs, hence the first part of this work is focused on the musculoskeletal anatomy of the horse. This chapter is divided into the anatomy of the thoracic and pelvic limbs and the anatomy of the hoof. Anatomy of thoracic and pelvic limbs were also divided according to skeletal and muscular system and also described as important to bones and muscles. Anatomy hoof is also described in detail
The second part is focused on each diseases; podotrochlosis, osteochondrosis,
arthrosis, synovitis, busked shins, ossification, desmitis, laminitis, pododermatitis. Followed by description, formation, diagnosis and therapy.
Of course is important the prevention of these diseases. The proper way of
the breeding on the pastures with plenty of movement a foal. As well as reasonable using horse in the sport, its gradual and reasonable increasing the training load before the top performances.
Keywords: horse, breeding, disease, defects, the locomotor system
