Show Rules and Regulations NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE GROUNDS OF ANY 4-H HORSE SHOW!! In order to ensure a safe environment for 4-H members, participants and visitors, no dogs shall be allowed at any Kern County 4-H Horse Project event. This includes dogs in trailers or motor vehicles. The only exception are service dogs and arena owner’s personal dogs. Participating members are therefore responsible to ensure that their respective family members, friend, guests, trainers, etc. DO NOT BRING dogs (other than certified service dogs) to any Kern County 4-H Horse Project event. At the discretion of the show management and 5 the Horse Leaders, a show will be stopped until a violation of the rule is remedied - the dog is to be removed from the show grounds. A violation of this rule can and may be considered a violation of the Code of Conduct rule at the discretion of show management and Project Chairperson. Penalty may be expulsion from the program. California Department of Food and Agriculture Equine Medication Monitoring Program Guidelines regarding Drugs with alter the appearance or way of going of the animal will apply. The administration of a single nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug in accordance with the recommendations on the manufacturer’s label shall be considered acceptable. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs are phenylbutazone (“Bute”), flunixin (“Banamine”), naproxen, meclofenamic acid (“Arquel”) and ketoprofen (“Ketofen”). However, the administration of two or more nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory substances within 72 hours prior to show date constitutes the administration of prohibited substance and requires withdrawal from competition. Artificial ornaments (i.e. fake tails) are acceptable. Unsportsmanlike conduct by exhibitors or other persons in attendance is not acceptable. Such behavior will jeopardize the exhibitor’s eligibility to participate in future shows, as deemed appropriate by the Kern County 4-H Horse Project Chairman/Leaders. No one except the Show Manager (i.e. parents, family members, trainers) shall approach the judge to discuss anything regarding the show until after all the judged events are finished, and only with the judge’s permission. Violations will result in a loss of points for the rider for the day. When asked to enter the arena, you must do so in a timely manner, or you will be disqualified. All protests must be submitted in writing to the 4-H Horse Leaders accompanied by a $25.00 non-refundable deposit, cash only, within forty-eight (48) hours after ​ the event.

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.
