Guide and Supplemental Rules Page 3 7th Revision April 2016 Snohomish County 4-H Youth Horse Program Overview Welcome to the Snohomish County 4-H Youth Horse Program! You have chosen to become involved in a very large "active" 4-H Program, which offers many opportunities. At Club Level, you will learn about horsemanship and horse care, public presentations, and record books. You will also participate in business meetings, group decision-making and community service. Older Members serve as Club Officers and in other leadership capacities. The Adult Club Leader and Project Leaders are there to assist and guide you. Clubs have regular meetings scheduled which vary from Club to Club. At County Level, many other activities are available, which are listed in this guide. This Snohomish County 4-H Youth Horse Program Reference Guide was compiled by our Rules Committee. It contains an enormous amount of information which, when used with the State 4-H Horse Publications, available through your Club Leader, the County Extension Office or the WSU Publications Website, should guide you safely and knowledgeably through your 4-H experience. Snohomish County 4-H Youth Horse Program Reference Guide and Supplemental Rules Page 4 7th Revision April 2016 Looking Back …from our Program Leader's perspective In the early '60's the 4-H Horse Program was vastly different than today. It was much smaller, there were few clinics, no Horse Bowl, no Groom Squad, no State Fair for horses, no County or Club shows - - -. We had a 3 - day Evergreen Fair. The barns and arena were located near the current livestock pavilion. The barns had tie stalls. Each Club was assigned a certain number of stalls. If the Club had more members than stalls, they would have to haul in each day! You could exercise your horse at 6 am and 6 pm, otherwise you could only take your horse out if you had a class. The arena was uncovered and warm-up was in the parking lot. There were 4-H dormitories, which are now the Arts and Crafts room and the Cat Room in the 4-H Building.

  • Lungeing Notes Milne Feeds State Coaching School 2019
    Lungeing Notes Milne Feeds State Coaching School 2019 LUNGEING A HORSE IS A GREAT WAY: • To build fitness for your horse, • Improve your horse’s movement, balance, and flexibility, • To provide controlled exercise if short on time, • If you want to see how your horse is moving, • Enjoyment for the horse (change is as good as a holiday) • To develop bend through the combination of the contact in the lunge line, the whip and the handler's posture. • Can be used to sculpt the horse into the correct alignment, • Initiates the longitudinal stretch, essential to engagement • Train Young Horses • Teach obedience especially to voice aids, acceptance of equipment, train balance, to go forward with even strides stretching muscles • Retraining • Calm down a fractious or overly energetic horse • Introduce one to a new environment • Horse becoming one sided • Disobedient horse • Help the horse learn to move on a circle and help encourage bend. • Observe the horse's movement (looking for lameness or way of going). • Assisting in jump training • Advanced work in hand • Lunge a rider without reins and/or stirrups THINGS NOT TO DO WHEN LUNGEING: Never, ever, allow the lunge line to become wrapped around any part of your body, including your fingers, hand(s), waist, neck or feet. People have been injured and even killed this way while Lungeing. • Move the horse away from you if its rear end is facing you. • Don't crack the whip because the horse might startle and buck out when you are right behind the horse causing injuries. • Never lunge a lame horse, except to assess lameness under the supervision of a vet.

  • Mullen Mouthed Bits
    Bits Although there are hundreds of design variations, the basic families of bits are defined by the way in which they use or do not use leverage. They include: • Direct pressure bits without leverage: Snaffle bit: Uses a bit ring at the mouthpiece to apply direct pressure on the bars, tongue and corner of the mouth. • Leverage bits: Curb bit: A bit that uses a type of lever called a shank that puts pressure not only on the mouth, but also on the poll and chin groove. Pelham bit: A single curb bit with two sets of reins attached to rings at the mouthpiece and end of the shank. Partly combines snaffle and curb pressure. Kimblewick or Kimberwicke: A hybrid design that uses a slight amount of mild curb leverage on a bit ring by use of set rein placement on the ring. • Bit combinations A type of bridle that carries two bits, a bradoon and a curb, and is ridden with two sets of reins is called a Weymouth or double bridle, after the customary use of the Weymouth-style curb bit in a double bridle. • Non-curb leverage designs: Gag bit:A bit that, depending on design, may outwardly resemble a snaffle or a curb, but with added slots or rings that provide leverage by sliding the bit up in the horse's mouth, a very severe design. Bits are further described by the style of mouthpiece that goes inside the horse's mouth as well as by the type of bit ring or bit shank that is outside the mouth, to which the reins are attached.

  • Why Do We Have Different Type of Rings? Some Rounded and Small, Some Rounded and Big, Some Ovals, Some Like a D, Some Like a Narrower D and So On
    A B t of clarification about Rings By Manuel Trigo What are the differences between the bit’s rings. Why some rings have hooks. But more importantly, are you using the right ring for your snaffle? The Last article about bits “The snaffle misunderstood” had some impact on many riders. Many people did also criticize it, positively or not. It has been shared and posted to the 4 corners of the internet. What is very positive, after reading some of the reader’s comments, is the fact that people care about their horses and if necessary, are ready to start THE LAST ARTICLE learning more in order to improve their riding and communication with their horses. I also realized based on the comments on several social If you need to read the first groups, that there is still something that is not clear at all for many readers article, use this link. and that it is how the rings of the snaffle work (loose ring, loose ring with http://trigomanuel.com/do sleeve, D ring, kimberwhick etc..) I see too often people who did cuments/Snaffle%20Article understand how the mouthpiece(s) work(s), but still ride their horses in %20July.pdf the wrong ring according what they try to accomplish with the horse. So allow me a few words to explain and clarify this matter. I will start by saying one more time that the mouthpiece is for the horse and the rings or shank are for the rider. This could sound very basic, but just respecting this postulate will avoid many problems.

  • The Bits and Their Action: Cheeks, Mouthpieces, Doubles Cheeks
    The Bits and their Action: Cheeks, Mouthpieces, Doubles Cheeks The Action of the Loose Ring The most popular - the loose ring has much more movement and play than a fixed butt or cheek. It discourages fixing, blocking and leaning and encourages mouthing. It allows the mouthpiece more movement so that it may follow the angle of the tongue because the angle of the poll and the horse's overall outline changes through different work etc. A quality loose ring correctly fitted should not cause any nips or rubs. The Action of the Eggbutt This is a fixed cheek. Everything remains more still in the mouth and if a horse is lacking in the confidence to stretch into the contact, this may prove extremely beneficial. The Action of the Baucher When a contact is taken the upper arm is angled forwards causing the mouthpiece to lift - thereby suspending it in the mouth and reducing the pressure across the tongue and the bars - this is often beneficial for cases of over sensitivity. Any extension above the mouthpiece causes poll pressure - this in itself has a head lowering action. However, if the horse is going forward into a contact and active behind this will encourage a rounding action and help tremendously with the outline. This cheek is dressage legal as a Snaffle (on its own) or as a Bradoon used in conjunction with a Weymouth. The legal limit for the length of the baucher/hanging cheek snaffle is 12 cm - this is from top to bottom - not just the upper arm. 1. The Baucher at rest - the cheeks are always attached to the small ring and the reins to the one main bit ring.

  • Horse Bit Basics Basic Types
    Horse Bit Basics A bit is a type of horse tack used in equestrian activities, usually made of metal and is placed in the mouth of a horse and assists a rider/lunger in communicating with the animal. It rests in the mouth in a region there are no teeth. It is held on a horse's head by means of a bridle and has reins/side reins attached for use by a rider or lunger. A bit functions through the principle of negative reinforcement: the reduction or relaxation of pressure as reinforcement for a behavior. The rider/lunger applies pressure through the reins to the bit in the horse's mouth and the horse is reinforced or rewarded for the correct response by softer contact or a release or pressure. Basic types There are hundreds of design variations, but the basics are defined by the way in which they use or do not use leverage. They include: • Direct pressure bits without leverage: o Snaffle bit: Uses a bit ring at the bit mouthpiece to apply direct pressure on the bars, tongue and corner of the mouth. • Leverage bits: o Curb bit: A bit that uses a type of lever called a shank that puts pressure not only on the mouth, but also on the poll and chin groove. A bit consists of two basic components, the bit mouthpiece that goes inside the horse's mouth, and the bit rings of a snaffle bit or shanks of a curb bit, to which the bridle and reins attach. The mouthpiece is the first factor most people think of when assessing the severity and action of the bit.
