  • NE 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules
    New England 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules and Guidelines Basic guide to local, county, and state/regional 4-H Horse shows as well as for those classes in open shows limited to 4-H membership entry. This rules manual is for organizers, officials, exhibitors, parents and judges. Revised February 2020 These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the current New England 4-H Horse Show Rulebook. See rulebook for additional details involving bits and equipment for respective classes. Because the New England 4-H Horse Program is diverse in both its divisions and in the breeds that compete, it is difficult to generate a complete list of acceptable bits. Bits that are permitted by respective breed associations may be acceptable at the judge's discretion. A judge at his/her discretion can penalize a horse with non-conventional types of bits. Please understand that this supplement gives only examples of legal and u acceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. If exhibitors have questions concerning a bit they wish to use, and that specific bit is not mentioned in the current rules or these guidelines, then exhibitors should ask the show stewards and/or the judge if the bit is acceptable for that show. Exhibitors should have alternative bits available so that they can make a change if it is determined by show officials that their preferred bit is unacceptable for that show. Each county, district or regional, and state show is officiated by different stewards and judges.

  • Rule Book, but You Can View Them At
    Mission Statement Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET) shall be a “not for profit” corporation dedicated to promoting and organizing equestrian competition in high school athletic or activity programs. Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET) has as its main goal, recognition in the high schools of the equestrian athlete and to give them an opportunity to achieve that recognition in a fair, positive and educational format. The goals are to encourage team play, peer acceptance and good horsemanship. Competition is to follow sportsmanship guidelines as set down by Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA), State School Board, individual participating school activity guidelines, and equine sportsmanship guidelines. Any high school in the United States of America is eligible to form a team and join the OHSET organization. The state is divided into districts. District competitions will be held with the goal of qualifying for a final State Championship Meet to be held by the state for that current year. Each high school will have adult and youth representation on their District Board of Directors. Each district will have adult and youth representatives on the State Board of Directors. Competition is a winter/spring sport scheduled as much as possible not to conflict with other organized high school sports. The purpose is to promote continuous growth in programs fostering horsemanship education, sponsor activities to encourage interscholastic participation and to have cooperative adult supervised leadership for all students in grades 8 through 12. High School Equestrian Teams support, challenge, and offer recognition to the dedicated teens that physically and mentally pursue the challenge of the sport of equine competition.

  • 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.

  • Bit Guidelines for Use in 4-H Horse Shows
    January 2020 Guidelines for Bits in Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Shows These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the current Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Show Rulebook and any available supplement. See rulebook for additional details involving bits and equipment for respective divisions and classes. Because the Pennsylvania 4-H Horse Program is diverse in both its divisions and in the breeds that compete, it is difficult to generate a complete list of acceptable bits. Bits that are permitted by respective breed associations may be acceptable at the judge’s discretion. A judge at his/her discretion can penalize a horse with non-conventional types of bits, nose bands or other equipment. If exhibitors have questions concerning a bit they wish to use, and that specific bit is not mentioned in the current rules or these guidelines, then exhibitors should ask the show stewards and/or the judge if the bit is acceptable for that show. Exhibitors should have alternative bits available so that they can make a change if it is determined by show officials that their preferred bit is unacceptable for that show. Each county, district or regional, and state show is officiated by different stewards and judges. Therefore, exhibitors must seek approval from show officials at each show before using the questionable bit. Members should consult with professionals in their riding discipline or contact the appropriate breed association for guidance in selecting a bit in order to find one that is both appropriate and acceptable for use in Pennsylvania 4-H shows. No horse or pony may be shown with their tongues tied down or with their mouths tied shut.

  • North Dakota 4-H Horse Shows Bit Rule Examples and Explanations
    GBH093 North Dakota 4-H Horse Shows Bit Rule Examples and Explanations The following pages include the bit rules from the current North Dakota 4-H Horse Show Rules and Judges Guide (GBH092), some further explanations, and many examples of bits and mouthpieces. Text written in this style are the rules taken directly from the rulebook. Further explanations of the rules are in blue boxes written in text of this style. Pictures show examples of bits that are labeled as: Acceptable Acceptable as long as measurements that cannot be judged by the picture meet allowances Not allowed Please understand that this supplement gives only some examples of legal and unacceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. The explanations should describe the intent/purpose of the rules to help draw a conclusion for bits not included. If any discrepancies occur between this and the printed rulebook text, the printed rulebook will have precedence. The supplement is designed in the same approach as the rulebook. Each division has its own section with no cross‐referencing to another. Some examples are repetitive when looking at it beginning to end. You should be able to pull out any one section and have what you need for the division. (Exceptions: As in the rulebook, a section applies to the western, ranch and speed events, then they each have separate additional sections.) Edited and revised with permission from the University of Florida for North Dakota 4-H Rules by the North Dakota 4-H Equine Advisory Committee.

Tack and bits on both sides of the horse of a minimum of one-third of the horses in each class/test must be inspected. At Federation-licensed competitions, except USEF Competition Lite competitions, the C2 Steward or the person who is under the direction of the Steward and appointed by the competition management will be responsible for overseeing the checking of the horse, tack, and attire.
