Helping Hands on Horseback Helping Hands on Horseback Additional Guidelines for Pegasus Barn Volunteers General Safety and Conduct • Except in the case of an emergency, walk at all times when on the premises. • Speak in a calm, quiet voice and avoid sudden movements, particularly near horses. • Wear appropriate clothing and shoes (no flip flops, Uggs, sneakers). Avoid floppy items and dangling jewelry. • Absolutely no smoking, use of illegal substances or drinking of alcoholic beverages on the premises. • When leading a horse in and out of a stall, be sure the stall door is open all the way. • Face the front of the stall before removing the halter. Always have an escape route. • Horses with tack on need to be on cross ties in their stall and cross tied to their halter, not the bit. • Always make sure the stall door is latched properly when a horse is loose in the stall by himself. • Stall doors should stay unlocked when a person is in the stall or if the horse is on cross ties. • Return all supplies and equipment to their storage locations when you are finished. • Ask staff any questions you may have. We are here to help! Approaching and Haltering a Horse in a Stall or Paddock • Pegasus uses both grooming halters and full halters for a variety of reasons. Please ask a staff member which halter is appropriate before putting one on your horse. Full halter Grooming halter 1 Helping Hands on Horseback Approaching and Haltering a Horse in a Stall or Paddock (continued) • Hang the halter by the crown piece on your left arm, with the noseband facing your body (A). • Talk to your horse as you approach his left front side so he can hear you and readily see you. • Once you have greeted your horse, put the lead rope over his neck, slip the halter off your arm, place the noseband over his nose, and gently slide the headstall up and over his ears (B). • Make sure the throat latch is snapped before leaving the paddock or before putting your horse on crossties in the stall (note: grooming halters do not have throat latches) (C). A B C Grooming Your Horse • Cross-tie your horse in his stall using the grooming halter (see above for safety guidelines) (D). • Begin by picking your horse’s hooves, including up into the heels and around the frog, making sure all dirt is removed (E). Be sure to examine each foot for any foreign objects, loose or displaced shoes, or obvious injuries. Advise staff of any strong odors or heat in any of the feet. D E 2 Helping Hands on Horseback Grooming Your Horse (continued) • Clean the outside of each hoof with a brush and apply hoof dressing. Be sure to include the heel. • Curry your horse’s body and legs. Be careful to stay above the knees and hocks, and do not curry your horse’s face (see photos below). Use the curry comb in a circular motion, applying pressure to remove dirt, mud and hair, and to aid in circulation and skin health. Examples of curry combs CORRECT USAGE INCORRECT USAGE X INCORRECT USAGE X 3 Helping Hands on Horseback Grooming Your Horse (continued) • Use a stiff-bristled brush (brush F) everywhere except your horse’s head, and be gentle when brushing FG H the lower legs. Always brush in the direction of the hair growth. • Use a medium-bristled brush (brush G) on your horse’s body and legs, brushing in the direction of their hair. • Use a soft-bristled brush (brush H) to go over your horse’s coat and face to give it shine. • Take a small section of your horse’s tail in your hand, and gently run the comb through to the end until smooth and free of shavings and debris (I). If you are removing more than a couple of hairs, you are pulling too hard. Apply detangler as needed. Repeat until the entire tail is clean. • Gently wipe your horse’s eyes and nose with a warm washcloth as needed (J). • Apply green spot remover to manure stains on light-colored horses and remove with a towel. I J 4 Helping Hands on Horseback Tacking Your Horse Up for Program • Consult the lesson assignment sheet posted on the main barn aisle outside of the volunteer lounge. • Collect the appropriate tack from the tack room and place it on the saddle rack and bridle hook outside of your horse’s stall (K). Please note: the grooming halter is used for program. • Set up cross ties in the stall and put the grooming halter on your horse (L). If he has not yet been groomed, groom your horse before tacking him up. K L • Without unbuckling it, slide the neck strap over your horse’s head and onto his neck (M-O). M N O 5 Helping Hands on Horseback Tacking Your Horse Up for Program (continued) • Your horse may have additional pads beyond the saddle pad. If you are not sure of the order in which to place the pads on your horse, please ask a staff member for assistance. CORRECT INCORRECT X • Place the saddle pad about a third of the way up your horse’s neck and slide it back into place so that the front of the pad is just over the withers. The sliding motion will smooth your horse’s hair and avoid bunching of the pad, which helps to avoid rubs and sore spots. • Place the saddle over the pad(s), making sure it is centered over your horse’s spine, with the pommel just over the withers (P). Grasp the saddle pad over the withers and pull it up into the pommel, leaving a small space between the pad and the withers (Q-R). P Q R 6 Helping Hands on Horseback Tacking Your Horse Up for Program (continued) • The girth should always be attached to the right side of the saddle first. Check the girth to see if it has elastic on one end or both. If the girth has elastic on one end, attach the leather end on the right side of the saddle and the elastic end on the left. Be sure to run the girth through the girth loops at the bottom of each saddle pad before attaching it to the saddle (S). Use the first and third billets on the saddle when attaching the girth. Be sure to correctly buckle the billet straps to the buckles on the girth (T). Gently tighten the girth, paying attention to your horse’s comfort. A good measure of correct fit is to be able to insert one finger comfortably between the girth and your horse’s side (U). INCORRECT CORRECT INCORRECT CORRECT S T U • Place the bridle over the grooming halter, carefully inserting the bit into your horse’s mouth (V-W) and gently placing the headstall over his ears (X). Program bridles have no nose band; the grooming halter takes its place. Make sure the bridle is adjusted and straight. Buckle the throat latch (Y), leaving enough space to allow no more than 4 fingers between the latch and your horse’s cheek (Z). V W X Y Z 7 Helping Hands on Horseback Tacking Your Horse Up for Program (continued) CORRECT BRIDLE APPROACH INCORRECT BRIDLE APPROACH X • Always attach the reins to the rings on the grooming halter, not the bridle (A). Loop the reins through the hand hold of the saddle for security (B), and make sure they are hanging evenly on both sides. • When ready, attach the lead rope to the center ring on the “y” connector attached to the halter (C). A B C 8 Helping Hands on Horseback Tacking Your Horse Up for Program (continued) • Take the cross ties off your horse, open the stall door all the way, and lead your horse to the ring. Be sure to lead your horse out of his stall by walking beside beside. Do not exit the stall ahead of your horse and lead him out behind you. CORRECT STALL EXIT INCORRECT STALL EXIT X Leading Your Horse to Program and Warming Up • When approaching the ring, always halt at the end of the paddock fence and loudly call out “door.” Wait to hear “ok” before proceeding into the ring. • Prior to the start of program, warm up your horse for approximately 10-15 minutes with a power walk and relaxed trot in both directions. Untacking Your Horse After Program • Lead your horse to his stall and attach cross ties to his halter (not to his bit). Be sure to leave the stall door slightly open to provide yourself with an escape route if needed. 9 Helping Hands on Horseback Untacking Your Horse After Program (continued) • Unbuckle the girth from both sides and place it across the saddle (D). Remove the saddle by gently lifting it off of your horse’s back. Do not drag the saddle across your horse’s back. CORRECT INCORRECT X D • Place the saddle on the saddle rack outside of your horse’s stall. Remove the saddle pad(s) and place them on top of the saddle. • Unclip and remove the reins from your horse’s bridle. Unbuckle the throat latch on the bridle. • Remove the cross ties from the grooming halter. Gently slide the neck strap, bridle and halter off of your horse’s head. Place them on the hook outside of the stall door. • Remove the cross ties from the stall walls and return them to their proper storage location. • Return all tack to the tack room unless otherwise instructed.

  • Horse Racing Tack for the Hivewire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings
    Horse Racing Tack for the HiveWire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings Horse racing is a sport that has a long history, dating as far back as ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Events in the first Greek Olympics included chariot and mounted horse racing and in ancient Rome, both of these forms of horse racing were major industries. As Thoroughbred racing developed as a sport, it became popular with aristocrats and royalty and as a result achieved the title "Sport of Kings." Today's horse racing is enjoyed throughout the world and uses several breeds of horses including Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses in the major race track circuit, and Arabians, Paints, Mustangs and Appaloosas on the County Fair circuit. There are four types of horse racing; Flat Track racing, Jump/Steeplechase racing, Endurance racing and Harness racing. “Racehorse Tack” is designed for the most common and popular type of horse racing, Flat Track. Tracks are typically oval in shape and are level. There are exceptions to this; in Great Britain and Ireland there are considerable variations in shape and levelness, and at Santa Anita (in California), there is the famous hillside turf course. Race track surfaces can vary as well with turf being the most common type in Europe and dirt more common in North America and Asia. Newer synthetic surfaces, such as Polytrack or Tapeta, are also seen at some tracks. Individual flat races are run over distances ranging from 440 yards (400 m) up to two and a half miles, with distances between five and twelve furlongs being most common.

  • Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler
    Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler Some Caveats from Sandy: I was not intentionally writing these notes for others to read, so as I took them I included some rephrasing to help me remember and understand what I was seeing and hearing. As a result, although I believe that I have the gist of what Manuel said and was trying to explain, there are undoubtedly some things that I have wrong or incomplete. If you see these, please send me corrections or your own explanations of what you understood. I will usually use ‘snaffle’ when I mean top rein since that is what I am used to and have in my notes. I wrote most during the first group for each session and later added just what was additional or that I missed the first time. I would also like to say that I really enjoyed seeing all of you work with your horses. It is difficult to try really new things in front of other people with an excited horse away from home. You all did a wonderful job! I am glad I get to try these things alone at home first . Saturday Morning before and during group one. Serreta—a type of cavesson. Used instead of snaffle. Ride with two reins—1) snaffle or serreta (on top) The serreta must be correctly shaped to the horse’s nose. Each horse needs his own. 2) and curb (on bottom) A rider who does not respect the horse will hurt the horse’s mouth with the snaffle.

  • Approved Tack and Equipment for British Dressage Competitions
    Approved tack and equipment for British Dressage competitions Eff ective from 17 June 2019 To be used with the corresponding rules in the Members’ Handbook This revised pictorial guide has been devised to be used alongside the British Dressage Members’ Handbook for clarification on permitted tack and equipment. British Dressage endeavours to mirror FEI Rules for permitted tack and equipment. Tack reviews are ongoing but, any additional permitted tack and equipment updates will only be issued twice yearly to coincide with the beginning of the summer and winter seasons (1 December and 18 June). At all BD Championships, there will be an appointed BD Steward(s) in attendance in all warm up arenas responsible for tack and equipment checking every competitor each time they compete. This will be a physical (not just visual) tack check, including nosebands. It’s the organisers’ responsibility to appoint stewards for this function and they must be BD or FEI qualified to the appropriate level, for further guidelines on the official tack check, please see rule 106 in the 2019 Members Handbook. For the complete guidelines on permitted tack and riding the test and penalties, please see section Section 1 of the Members’ Handbook. If the equipment that you are looking at are similar to those pictured, it’s permitted for use in BD competitions. If you have a query on any tack or equipment that you’re unsure about, please email a picture of the item to the Sports Operations Officer for clarification. NB: Please note that bridles without a throatlash will be permitted for use for national competitions, for international competitions please check FEI rules.

  • 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.

    Horses AGRICULTURAL MU Guide PUBLISHED BY MU EXTENSION, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA muextension.missouri.edu Choosing, Assembling and Using Bridles Wayne Loch, Department of Animal Sciences Bridles are used to control horses and achieve desired performance. Although horses can be worked without them or with substitutes, a bridle with one or two bits can add extra finesse. The bridle allows you to communicate and control your mount. For it to work properly, you need to select the bridle carefully according to the needs of you and your horse as well as the type of performance you expect. It must also be assembled correctly. Although there are many styles of bridles, the procedures for assembling and using them are similar. The three basic parts of a bridle All bridles have three basic parts: bit, reins and headstall (Figure 1). The bit is the primary means of communication. The reins allow you to manipulate the bit and also serve as a secondary means of communica- tion. The headstall holds the bit in place and may apply Figure 1. A bridle consists of a bit, reins and headstall. pressure to the poll.
