SCHOOL
How I Choose Horses
I can surely say that even if we use the most serious approach in choosing a horse, even if we have an incredible quantity of hippological, veterinary, behavioral and biomechanical knowledge, the "main" horses in our lives are not "chosen", they just "happen".
This rule holds true even when a horse has to be chosen for professional work in the cinema for a show, for television or photography – in other words, business, with the obligatory need to teach the horse basics or the whole Haute Ecole.
Alexander Nevzorov shares his story of how he chooses his horses.
Marie Duizidou – Come Back to the Reality
Official Nevzorov Horse Revolution Representative in France tells the story of her path to NHE School.
HORSE REVOLUTION
The Equestrian Inquisition
Imagine that a regular store sold inquisition devices. Furthermore, they are sold not as antiques, but as quite ordinary tools for everyday use. They are new, in beautiful packages with the instructions for use. On the shop board are mouth openers sold in bulk and pincers to pull out nails, nostrils and teeth; on windows – whips of all kinds, with chains, with or without hooks; on shelves – vices and "Spanish boots." And in the center of the room on a table marked, "Please do not touch" on a nice label – a real rack.
Do you think these instruments can only be seen in a museum, where hardly anyone will attend? All these worn-down exhibits shed pain and sufferings of the hundreds, the thousands of tortured. If one will come closer – one will hear the moans and death rattles of the tormented souls.
REVIEWS
The Corpse's Dress – What Not to Wear on a Horse
In this issue we introduce a review by Alexander Nevzorov on a book by G. Oakley, S. Soskin, Riding Outfit: What Not to Wear on a Horse.
THE HORSE CRUCIFIED AND RISEN BY ALEXANDER NEVZOROV
Chapter 5: Home
The fifth chapter of the long-awaited book by Alexander Nevzorov.
CARTULARIUM
The Hidden Meaning of Old Engravings
In fact, many ideas and meanings which spiritualize old School Masters and their imitators are encrypted on title pages preceding old tomes. Alexander Nevzorov analyzes a famous book by Antoine De Pluvinel L'Instruction du Roy en l'Exercice de Monter a Cheval and the title engravings in La Gueriniere's, Ecole De Cavalerie.
The School Curb
Some history of a famous curb bit designed by Solomon de la Brue.
We can safely say that the precise scientific and practical knowledge of the torturous role of any equine "iron" (i.e., bits) celebrates its 400th birthday now. In the beginning of the XVII century in France, Haute Ecole master Salomon de La Broue published the results of his research which he had called "PRECEPTES", including a complete analysis of the effect the bit causes in a horse's mouth.
It is noteworthy that La Broue studied the principles of the effect of the bit not to communicate the torture it caused the horse or even to express his dismay. He did it only to make his own inventions more effective.
COLLOQUIUM
Lectio Eqvaria Palaestra
The new film by Alexandr nevzorov is now available on DVD. In this issue we proudly introduce an interview with the director.
As we all know, the key criteria of intelligence is the ability to encipher sounds into the graphic characters (we call it "writing") and vice-a-versa – the ability to decipher graphic characters, the ability to read. Those abilities allow us to get the amazing answers which indicate that there is a similarity of the intellect in the different species of mammals. A horse's brain is comparable to a human's.
If we give it such "tools" as graphic characters (i.e. the alphabet) we can organize the intellect. So we can teach a horse to associate, to generalize and to draw conclusions…

The two hour film brings to life the famous quote by Albert Einstein: "Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimension".
It is a large-scale epic narration of the history of a practice called L.E.P.* – giving simple and irrefutable evidence that the mind is not solely a human prerogative.
* LEP – Lectio Eqvaria Palaestra
Nevzorov Haute Ecole is the new way of horsemanship, based on partnership with the horse, without punishment.

Coming soon the movie; LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA
By Sascha Day
While the rest of the world continues to be mesmerized by Alexander Nevzorov's school and the revelation of a horse's ability to be taught and perform difficult school elements without pain and force, Alexander has been developing further by teaching his horses to read.
"LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA is a very old School technique, by which absolutely any horse can learn to read and count quickly and easily, grasping the language of human numbers and letters, so seemingly alien to her."
In 2010, Alexander completed production of the film by the same name as the school element, LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA, or LEP, which literally translates to Manege Horse Reading.
"This film represents a screen version of famous quotation by Einstein: "Human mind which has once extended its borders can never go back to old dimensions."
It is a film about human mind capacity which has made it clear that intelligence is not our exclusive possession. It is an attribute of many mammals. If anyone nurtures illusions of this kind they have to reshape their views."
By his film, Alexander shows that such intelligence; an ability to conceptualize symbols and learn language is not a sole attribute of humans or primates.
The idea of a horse being able to read unearths a truth about humankind that has long been hidden. It implores to question fundamental beliefs about society and our species, about other life forms and about our dominion of the planet.
This truth promises to be deeply confronting.
But this is not the purpose of LEP.
The practice of LEP, the education of a horse to read is not to prove a horse's intelligence but to show to a horse that a human is somehow worth mentioning.
"While studying LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA with a horse, a human proves to the horse his intelligence and gradually strives so that the sounds he emits would no longer seem to the horse the same as the cow's moo or the grasshopper's chirps sound to a human."
"During the LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA lessons, a horse for the first time finds out that there are systems, logic, connections and information in the things a human is doing, that a human has, however humorous, an intellect."
"The intellectual faculties of a horse are completely incredible. It is noteworthy that in the alliance, which is necessary for the successful practice of LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA one must have a horse who demonstrates the capability to comprehend the language of another species. A human cannot yet even guess what the horse's language really is and how it sounds."
Alexander again has raised the bar on human perception of horse capability. His works will always challenge and reveal the limited and incorrect notions of people towards horses.
The movie LECTIO EQUARIA PALAESTRA will be available soon ( English sub-titles)

Anatomy is an exact science; it helps people look at their lives in an easier and more courageous way. It educates optimists,” said Alexander Nevzorov

Dead Bodies Attract Crowds at Anatomy Exhibition
‘There is a need to make it more evolutionary to show people who a human is, where they come from,’ said Nevzorov, one of the exhibition’s trustees.
Russia’s first open anatomic exhibition, ‘The Human Body,’ celebrated its anniversary last week. The results are astonishing considering it has only been open for a year: The exhibition has had more than 100,000 visitors — a third of them children — and received two books of positive feedback from fans, while only nine people have fainted — with one filmed incident in which three visitors lost consciousness simultaneously.
The display is possible thanks to the research of Russian scientists including Ivan Goivorovsky, a professor of anatomy at the Military Medical Academy, whose work led to the development of a unique polymer embalming technique. This technique allows dead human bodies and organs to be kept on display without posing any danger to visitors.
It took 20 years for Goivorovsky to assemble a collection and to make it look like the exhibit items do today. The majority of people visiting the exhibition may expect to see something morbid or disgusting, but in fact the beauty of nature remains evident. With the intelligent arrangement of the bodies and parts, and some skillful lighting, the human bodies look like museum objects.
This is the first time an exhibition has shown the body this way, in comparison to examining pathology in the human body. This makes ”The Human Body” exhibition interesting and useful not only for those curious to learn more about their bodies, but also for medical students and professionals.
Cultivating a new generation of outstanding doctors is an important goal to keep in mind in the quest to make progress in science and medicine. Organizers of ”The Human Body,” closely collaborate with schools and children’s homes to educate children and promote interest in the sciences. After visiting this exhibit, some children’s curiosity has been piqued and they have voiced plans to pursue careers in medicine.
This year, the exhibition has added to its collection of organs, which helps people better understand the processes and workings of our internal organs.
”Anatomy is an exact science; it helps people look at their lives in an easier and more courageous way. It educates optimists,” said Alexander Nevzorov, an exhibition trustee.
The exhibit is popular not only among scientific minds, but among more creative types as well. Located in one of the Litsedei Theater rehearsal rooms, the show has become a favorite place for actors to visit. Anton Adasinsky, one of the theater’s actors, said that knowing how the body works is of vital importance for becoming a good actor.
Painter Rasim Agayev often works in the hall where the exhibition is held.
”The exhibition helps to uncover the truth and strives to find an origin. When people understand the harmony of the universe, it becomes possible to depict it in a work of art,” said Agayev.
A collaboration event with artists has been announced and is in the works. An art competition dedicated to the human body will be judged by Boris Trubnikov, head of the Severnaya Palmyra art project. The best works will be put on display at the exhibition.
Organizers are trying not to limit the development of the exhibition.
”There is a need to make it more evolutionary to show people who a human is, where they come from,” said Nevzorov. This year, items such as moving human and canine skeletons were added to show the core differences between human and animal structures.
It’s as yet undecided how long the exhibition will run for, but organizers and supporters agree that it should be a permanent exhibition.
”The items will last for a long time and for many generations. It can already be called a museum of the 21st century with modern technical and presentation facilities,” said Goivorovsky.
The exhibit has been compared with German anatomist Gunther von Hagens’ ”Body World,” a show of dead bodies. ”The Human Body” exhibition, however, possesses no ”show” qualities and was created for educational purposes only.

Nevzorov Haute Ecole Seventh International School Meeting, 17-18 September 2011
The Nevzorov Haute Ecole Seventh International School Meeting, also known as Hippological Seminar VII, took place in St. Petersburg September 17-18, 2011
Special guests and speakers at the annual seminar were Prof. I. V. Gajvoronsky – Head of the Department of Normal Anatomy of the Kirov Military Medical Academy, St. Petersburg; paleontologist Igor Pakhomov, and famous actors Anwar Libabov and Victor Solovyev of the mime-clown-theater "Litsedei" .
Discussions and presentations included the subtleties of horse management practices, manege reading -LEP, a summation of the staggering results from the study of injuries from equestrian sports in children and youths and the physiological evidence against the use of standard methods of horse management
Information that goes far beyond the traditional NHE realm of the horse was also addressed at the conference. Alexander Nevzorov advises his students to study science in context of history and persons of the time so attention is given to biographical and historical reports as well, this year including one about the life and work of Charles Darwin.
Some lectures took place at the exhibition complex "Tolstoy Square" where an exhibit called "The Human Body": The Dead who Teach the Living curated by Mr. Nevzorov, has been on display for about a year. Students heard comments by Professor Gaivoronsky as he led a tour through the anatomical exhibit. Igor Pakhomov provided his insight and thoughts on trilobites. Discussions went on to describe methods for preparing osteological specimens and the development of the first bilateral animals and brain anatomy to name a few. An evolutionary look at linguistics addressed the semantics and etymology of the Russian Language.
In keeping with the evolutionary theme Alexander Nevzorov delivered the inspirational keynote lecture regarding his upcoming book, the "Origin of Intellect". This work promises to shake up the current standards of the scientific community as the author delves into the still ongoing evolution of man and reveals that the direction of the species is still wide open.
The seminar's very full and diverse, yet interrelated program managed to squeeze in one more topic with a segment on the art of speech and stage craft by Libabov and Solovyev. The Leiken-Club Café, run by the Litsedei troupe hosted the seminar.
According to the decision of the Organizing Committee of the Seminar materials are not available to the public.
