  • Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List
    Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List Equestrian students are required to own and maintain the following equipment for their personal use in riding classes. Our faculty recognizes this list, though extensive, is not a complete list of equipment needed by professionals in our industry and is intended to accommodate the basic needs of students at the beginning of their careers. Substitution of some items is possible; however, the specific equipment listed below is recommended. During our first week of the academic year the incoming class tours local vendors for the purpose of acquiring supplies and equipment. Many students choose to leave the bulk of their personal gear at home and acquire a set of school equipment during the shopping days. Local vendors typically give discounts to RMC students on the items they purchase during the tours. If students have any questions, we recommend waiting until the faculty can assist in the purchasing process. We have strong opinions about what works best in our program and can best guide our students toward appropriate choices after the school year is underway. All personal gear should be clearly and indisputably labeled. Brass tags or plates riveted to leather tack are recommended. More economical “dog tags” can be purchased at a local PetSmart and work well to identify the owner. Additionally, black permanent markers can provide effective labeling of various items. Students may choose to color coordinate their gear using patterned duct tape or spray paint to create a distinctive “brand” on their equipment. Rider apparel Students need to manage their personal attire with a balance of professionalism in concert with practicality for weather conditions and budget.

    Ranch Horse Shows 1. By Entering all contestants agree to abide by and follow all rules. KPH Arena reserves the right to refuse entry to any horse or individual. 2. The purpose of the Versatility Ranch Horse Class is to demonstrate the performance, versatility, and conformation of the stock horse as a working ranch horse. 3. In schooling competitions, the judge will not encourage any maneuver or action contrary to established rules, or which would not be deemed safe for any participant within the same division. 4. In all Ranch Horse Classes, horses will be shown in a western saddle and appropriate bridle, snaffle bit or hackamore for the duration of the class. A western saddle is a common type of saddle distinguished by a large noticeable fork on which there is some form of horn, a high cantle and large skirts. Silver equipment will not count over a good working outfit. Horses 5 yrs old and younger may be shown in a snaffle bit, hackamore, curb bit, half-breed or spade bit. Horses 6 yrs and older may only be shown in a curb bit, half-breed or spade bit. When a curb is used a curb strap or curb chain is required, but must meet the approval of the judge, be at least one-half inch in width and lie flat against the jaw of the horse. Curb chains cannot be tied to the bit with string or cord. A broken strap or chain does not necessarily result in a major penalty. If you are in question, approach the Judge/Clinician prior to event to review tack.

  • Templates for Saddle Fitting
    Kerry J. Ridgway, DVM Institute for Equine Therapeutic Options Templates for Saddle Fitting We need a system for determining the shape of the horse’s back in the area the saddle will sit in order to even come close to finding a saddle that will fit. All too often, all that is asked by the saddle maker or the retailer is that you provide them with a tracing of the horse’s withers. Sometimes they do not specify exactly where to take the “wither” tracing or provide you with adequate information on how to make an accurate tracing. Assuming that you did get that part right – whoa - but what about the rest of the horse’s back? Does it matter if the saddle only fits at the withers? You bet it does, so lets do it right! There are a lot of systems to “measure backs” such as gauges, moldable plastics, medical plaster casting tape that all have merit. I wish to share with you a very inexpensive system that, in my hands has worked well. It can also work well for you. Requiring only a minimum of materials, it can be done with a few inexpensive tools that you likely already possess. Examples of back gauges Equiscan Topographer Pro You will need only a flexible artists ruler (or you can substitute a 20 inch piece of 14 gauge electrical wire with ground wire), 4 to 6 pieces of card- board, a sharp knife (an inexpensive box cutter works well, or heavy scissors can be used.) Use a “Sharpie” type of permanent marker to mark your loca- tions on the horse where you will want templates.

  • Tequiro Designed En Developed in the Netherlands
    Handmade high quality products bij EDIX® an official registered trademark, all products are Tequiro designed en developed in the Netherlands. treeless saddle EDIX® Treeless Treeless riding reintroduces the way of riding that was performed for many centuries, before the invention of the treed saddle. Therefore, treeless riding is not a novelty, but a different way of horse riding. Due to the treeless saddle, horse and rider experience more mutual feeling, the so-called “close contact”, enabling them to develop easily a more refined way of communicating through the rider’s position. A treeless saddle consists of at least two individual components, and the term “treeless saddle combination” would actually be more appropriate. It is the combination of the special saddle pad, including [email protected] the pressure-distributing inlays, with the two-part superstructure (the saddle) which together ensure ultimate flexibility across the horse’s www.edixsaddles.com back. Right there is the strength of the balanced pressure distribu- tion, through the different layers across the maximum surface of the horse’s back. It is exactly those soft parts that give the saddle great flexibility in all directions. It goes without saying that your horse will be able to move much more freely because of this enormous flexibility. Dealer: EDIX® treeless riding, a way to more mutual feeling between you and your horse! The EDIX® treeless saddles and saddle pads consist of high quality which is often shown by an increase in muscle mass. Due to the materials which, owing to the structure of different layers of flexible above and after the habituation period, both horse and rider, show materials, together ensure perfect pressure-distributing properties, in all aspect of horse riding more relaxation and more fluid move- the so-called EDIX® MPDS: multiple pressure distribution system.
