DC-CA Guide – revised March 2014 i USPC Sportsmanship, Stewardship, Leadership Through Horsemanship Preface DC-CA Guide Preface The United States Pony Clubs, Inc. has continued to evolve and grow since its inception in 1954. Over the past 10 years we have extended the traditional membership age limit; offered new types of membership; revised the certification process so that members can adjust the order in which they test according to their individual circumstances; developed and implemented specialized discipline tracks including Western; designed the Horsemasters program to help develop trained volunteers by allowing them to participate in an adult version of Pony Club; and for those without their own horse the Pony Club program is available through the Riding Center's program. We have truly grown from a backyard horse group that taught equine basics to an educational leader in the modern equestrian world. What an exciting time to be a part of this great organization. Will this evolution continue? Of course, it will. We need to keep our organization vibrant and current with today’s fast paced society, offering opportunities for young equestrians across the country to be part of Pony Club. Because Pony Club’s Horse Management curriculum is still second to none in the equine industry it will be a focus in the development of future Pony Club projects. Leadership is key to the future success of Pony Club. With that in mind a new focus has been put on developing training opportunities and new tools for our leaders. The new website/data base system is up and running with many enhancements to help our members, their families and our organization’s leaders. Thank you for the hard work and dedication you provide to our members and to the United States Pony Clubs, Inc. Jennifer Sweet Vice President of Regional Administration DC-CA Guide – revised March 2014 ii USPC Sportsmanship, Stewardship, Leadership Through Horsemanship Substantive Changes Substantive Changes New Secure Website Just launched last fall, the new secure website at secure.ponyclub.org allows Club/Center leaders to access member and officer information in real time. As DC/CA you can see your Club/Center information. You can email directly from this site to officers, members or parents, or update your Certificates or List of Locations. Currently there is an issue using the Safari browser. Until Safari has fixed it, you must log in using Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome. Main Website The Pony Club website has seen significant changes over the last year and it will continue to be upgraded to make the huge amount of information that it contains readily available to our members and leaders. The individual log in will further enhance the use of the website by allowing access to areas that pertain directly to what that person’s needs are (members versus DC/CA versus RS versus parent). Within this Guide, go to the Introduction, then to Navigating the Pony Club Website, for more information. Western Track US Pony Clubs launched a two year pilot program to introduce Western riding as a potential Pony Club discipline in January of 2012. As of June 2013, the program is open to all clubs and centers to participate in the Western discipline. Standards of Proficiency, Test Sheets and Checklists have been published for the D-1 through C-2 levels. At the Annual Meeting 2014, the Board approved the inclusion of the Western Track. The focus of the Western track is on good Horse Management skills and knowledge and equitation which will be taught through the disciplines of Western Riding, Trail, and Reining. As in English there are many styles of Western and Pony Club members may be exposed to these different styles of riding. Pony Club insurance does not allow participation in or practicing for any rough stock event such as: bull riding, bareback bronc-riding, saddle bronc-riding, or steer wrestling. Volunteer Development Recognizing the value of volunteers and the importance of providing opportunities for initial and ongoing education and training to support volunteers in their roles, the Board of Governors has developed a standing committee for Volunteer Development. This committee will be responsible for coordinating collaborative efforts of Regional Administration, Activities and Instruction to develop and implement training materials and programs for all level of volunteers.

  • 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.
