		The horse's heart's coronary network (the distribution and size of blood vessels within the heart) is genetically determined, as is the branching pattern of blood vessels, which lead into the lungs.
		A horse's anaerobic threshold is the point at which lactic acid starts to accumulate in the muscles and is considered to be somewhere between 85% and 90% of the individual horse's maximum heart rate.
		Our database of horses is ever growing and our computer system has the capacity to identify the genetic sources of any horse in the world, all horses that may have also inherited this genetic source and the genetic make up of any potential cross of any stallion and mare.

		Lift-to-drag ratio is a ratio of lift (at steady-state flight it is equal to the weight of the vehicle) to the force of its aerodynamic drag.
		The study of birds shows that a large albatross, because of its streamlining, has the highest lift-to-drag ratio of any bird, but even a small swallow has a high lift-to-drag ratio.
		Since a horse only generates about one horsepower, it is unlikely it could ever generate enough power to fly---even if it had the required monster wings.

	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Jean Marie le Bris (1817 - 1872)
		Le Bris, it appears, watched the albatross and deduced, from the manner in which it supported itself in the air, that plane surfaces could be constructed and arranged to support a man in like manner.
		The lift of the machine was such, however, that it relieved the horse of very nearly the weight of the cart and driver, as well as that of Le Bris and his machine, and in the end the rails of the cart gave way.
		Thus hoisted, the albatross was swung to face a strong breeze that blew inland, and Le Bris manipulated his levers to give the front edges of his wings a downward angle, so that only the top surfaces should take the wing pressure.

		The Albatross was also rigged as a brigantine and carried the following sails: mainsail, gaff-topsail, foresail, fore trysail, foretop-sail, foretop-gallant sail, fore staysail, jib, and flying jib.
		Since the Albatross was especially designed for deep-sea dredging, the dredging equipment was one of her most interesting features.
		The Albatross was built as a result of discoveries made by the Fish Commission vessel Flsh Hawk in New England waters and the first five years of the Albatross' investigations were confined to the waters of the Atlantic Shelf from Cape Hatteras to Newfoundland.

		Alun Michael, the Minister of the Horse, had earlier expressed similar sentiments, explaining that the government was working with, rather than dictating to, the industry, in an effort to give the horse its proper place in British society.
		Using slides of a top class dressage horse, Mr Price demonstrated how the horse slightly twisted its hind leg as the foot hit the ground, which caused the foot to be out of balance.
		After careful attention, the horse was shod on the affected limb with a lateral wing to the shoe, which enhanced its performance capability and extended its working life.

	Floating Plastic Debris Poses Threat To Albatross Chicks in North Pacific (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		A study of plastics ingested by seabirds in the late 1980s reported that the largest single item researchers found in an albatross stomach was a plastic sheet having a volume of 200 cubic centimeters, or about 12 cubic inches.
		On a recent tour of Eastern Island, I came upon two skulls of albatross, their bills interlocked as though they died while one of the birds - an adult -- attempted to feed the other, its chick.
		Some scientists believe the amount of plastic ingested by albatross is growing, but the work done in 1986 and 1987 by researchers from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service suggests it may vary year to year.

		The front edge of the wings was made of a flexible piece of wood, shaped like the front edge of the wing of the albatross, and to this, cross wands were fastened and covered with canton flannel, the flocculent side down.
		He stood upright in the canoe, unincumbered in his movements, his hands being on the levers and depressing the front edge of the wings, so that the wind should press upon the top only and hold them down, their position being, moreover, temporarily maintained by assistants walking along on each side.
		In 1867 a public subscription at Brest enabled Le Bris to build a second artificial albatross, and this is the one represented by fig.

	The Story of Morendo Hanover
		Morendo ate a carrot as I realized that it would be impossible to save this horse, but that maybe we could continue where Joe left off and make his as comfortable as possible for as long as we could and as long as Morendo seemed like he wanted to continue to live.
		We took pictures but he felt the horse was in pain and said that he had seen horses with this kind of infection, but usually the barn call was for euthanasia.
		Mike said that a horse that looks and acts as healthy as Morendo did does not have a raving infection courses through his system, and that if he wasn’t a Standardbred that he probably wouldn’t be here.

	FLYING MACHINES - Jean Marie Le Bris
		After repairing the damage, Le Bris made a second attempt, this time dispensing with the cart, the horse and the driver, and fro this flight built a large mast and yard arm from which the repaired Artificial Albatross was suspended.
		The yard arm was turned so that the glider faced the wind, and after adjusting the incidence of the wings to a positive angle, Le Bris slipped the restraint and the glider began a long glide.
		His next attempt came in late 1867 or early 1868 at Brest, where he had raised funds to build the second Artificial Albatross, which was almost a duplicate of the first with the exception that it was somewhat lighter and carried a weight meant to provide some additional stability.

		Westwood and Clarke are joint owners of another winner, a racehorse called Shank on Fourteen, named in memory of a mis-hit shot by their manager, Chubby Chandler, who fired the ball 90 degrees left after hearing that the two-year-old had been bought for them by trainer Karl Burke.
		Those rounds were bogey-free as he made the 13 birdies, 40 pars and the albatross that took him to a new course record at Kingsbarns and follow on from his win at the BMW International last month.
		He has all but mastered the difficult art of distance control, his four iron that drew low into the hole at the 558-yard par-five ninth - his 18th - was an example of that and saw him jumping wildly into Chandler's arms as the crowd told him the ball had dropped.

		It was a very beautiful sight; the sheep and lambs were still fast asleep on the green hills, and the sea-birds were asleep in long rows upon the ledges of the cliffs, with their heads under their wings.
