My name is Mallory Palagyi and I am 17. Outside of riding, I am in concert band and jazz band at my high school, and I am in the Summit County 4-H program. My goal for 2021 is to be able to keep progressing with Ellie (Elita) and hopefully achieve more consistent scores in Second level. I lease Elita, a bay, 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare at J-Bar stables and train with Sara Justice, who owns her. Besides showing, I enjoy riding Ellie bareback to let her relax. Ellie is such a sweet horse, who loves attention. She has really challenged me as a rider because she can be quite the diva. NODA Youth member, Mallory Palagyi and Ellie.

  • How, What and Why to Do Things with Your American Saddlebred. Part 1
    1/1/2011 UNITED HOW, WHAT AND WHY TO DO THINGS WITH SADDLEBRED YOUR AMERICAN SADDLEBRED. PART 2. ASSOCIATION Braiding Manes & Wrapping Tails | Lynn Jarvis HOW TO … TRIM AND BRAID THE BRIDLE PATH The first question to answer is why do we trim and braid our Saddlebreds? Nowhere in the rule book (any rule book) will you read that your horse MUST be trimmed and braided, however some rule books will have rules AGAINST trimming and braiding – so read them carefully. (For example you cannot show your hunter or western horse with braids). Back in the depths of history, Saddlebreds were shown with their forelocks and the first part of their manes plaited (and left down, not rolled like we do with our riding horses and hunters). The purpose of this was simply to keep their hair from interfering with the double bridle. This subsequently developed into the bridle path being trimmed to make it easier to get the bridle on and off. As shows developed there was a natural competition between horse owners, who soon found ways to adorn their “peacocks of the show ring” – and mane and forelock braiding were introduced. Any colour is acceptable and traditionally reds and maroons dominate in the American show ring. In Australia they have a registry system where barns register their barn colours – and these are the colours their Saddlebreds show under – presumably other barns are not allowed to use their competitors’ colours. There are different ways of trimming the bridle path of the American Saddlebred Horse – one involves leaving the forelock alone, the other involves thinning the forelock (by trimming the sides off) or removing it completely.

  • Braiding Manes and Tails: a Visual Guide to 30 Basic Braids (Storey, 2008)
    THE DRESSAGE RIDER’S HOW-TO GUIDE Braids? Polo wraps? We’ve got you covered. BY SHARON BIGGS IMPECCABLE: Beautiful braids, correctly ftting tack and attire, and excellent grooming complement the bloom of health and present your horse to his best advantage. Stefen Peters presents Ravel at the 2012 Olympic Games veterinary inspection. JENNIFER BRYANT 30 October 2012 t USDF CONNECTION very equestrian sport has a particular way of turning out horse and rider for competition, and dressage is no diferent. To call yourself a true DQ (that’s “dressage queen” for the uninitiated), Eyou need to master the big three: braiding, tail prep, and polo-wrap application (the latter of which will also come in handy should your horse’s legs need to be bandaged). You also need to know how to select and adjust a saddle pad for a fattering look and maximum horse comfort. In this article, a grooming expert and a tack-shop owner HUNTER BRAIDS: ofer step-by-step instructions. Bonus: A dressage judge Can be tied so they lie fat against the neck or with little knobs at the top, as shown here and longtime competitor and horse owner shares her pet peeves and advice on show turnout. How to: Braid for Dressage First, the rules. Although the US Equestrian Federation Rule Book states that braiding the horse’s mane for dres- sage is optional, the unwritten rule is always to braid, except perhaps for unrecognized competitions (schooling shows). Most dressage riders consider braiding a traditional form of showing respect for the judge and the competition, as well as a way of enhancing the look of their horses’ necks.

  • Woodbury Badge Level 2 Workbook
    AMHAY Horsemastership Achievement Program Woodbury Badge Level 2 Workbook Youth Program American Morgan Horse Association, Inc. 4066 Shelburne Rd, Suite 5, Shelburne, VT 05482 (802) 985-4944 Last updated 1/17 www.morganhorse.com True horsemanship is the culmination of many centuries of tradition, training, teaching and research. In this horsemanship program, you will begin to explore the many facets of horsemanship. At each level you will be asked to explore and gain experience in different activities. The mere superficial participation in the activities is not the goal. It is hoped that you will study and explore each event carefully and participate in depth with understanding and appreciation. We hope that through your experience in the Horsemastership program you will gain the knowledge and appreciation of your relationship with the Morgan Horse. Hopefully you will begin a lifetime relationship with the Morgan. The republication of this horsemanship manual is dedicated to Mrs. Gloria Jones of Diablo, California, and the original author of these manuals. It is with a great deal of affection we recognize her efforts and support of the American Morgan Horse Association Youth Program. Section A: Care for a horse and keep records for at least three months, or prepare a budget that outlines the estimated annual expense for boarding, farrier and veterinary care, basic horse equipment, and worming materials. The project should include a schedule for routine farrier and veterinary visits, a worming schedule and a balanced feed ration. If you are fortunate enough to own a horse, chances are you are boarding it and you will be very familiar with these expenses.

  • Horse Anatomy
    Novice Back The horse’s back is clearly where the saddle goes, but it’s important to know exactly where that is in order to make sure you don’t put the saddle in a place that might hurt your horse. If you look at Kestrel, you’ll see that the ‘back’ starts just below the withers and ends where the loin starts. This is also the perfect place to sit if you want to ride bareback. Ears Horses hear much better than we do and they can swivel their ears up to 180 degrees from front to back to tune into sounds from different directions. You can learn a lot about how a horse is feeling by looking at what the ears are doing. When a horse is relaxed the ears are turned to the side and also relaxed. When they are pointed forward the horse is alert. If they are swiveling back and forth the horse may be nervous and trying to figure out what a sound is and where it is coming from. A horse with pinned ears is giving notice that he or she is not happy and may be about to bite or kick so pay attention! Eyes Our eyes are located in the front of our head. A horse’s eyes are located on the side of their head, which means that they can see almost 360 degrees around them. The only places a horse can’t see are directly in front of him or directly behind his tail. The big, beautiful eyes of a horse are in fact the largest eyeball of any land mammal and they magnify near and far objects so they are twice as big as what we see.

  • Quarter & Draft Horse Information
    QUARTER & DRAFT HORSE INFORMATION DID YOU KNOW??? ♦ Foals, or newborn horses, can stand up and take steps just minutes after they are born! ♦ A pony is a grown-up horse that is less than 58 inches tall. ♦ The first horses were brought to North America (to Mexico first) by Hernando Cortes in 1519. ♦ Horses have fairly small stomachs with just one compartment (unlike cattle and sheep, which have four stomach compartments). Because of this, horses only eat small amounts at a time, but they may graze all day long! ♦ “Rodeo” is Spanish for “round-up.” ABOUT HORSES… Horses serve many purposes. They can help keep track of cattle and other animals on the farm or ranch. They are important to sports and leisure activities, such as polo, racing, and horseback riding. In the past, horses were important to transportation—people could ride them, and horses could pull wagons and stagecoaches. Long ago, horses also pulled plows to help farmers break- up the soil for planting, and they powered all kinds of machinery before electricity. When do you see horses today? In what ways do horses work for people today? HORSE VOCABULARY brood mare – a female horse that have given birth to at least one foal colt – a young male horse, under age four dam – female parent equine – relating to horses farrier – person who makes horseshoes and puts the shoes on horses filly – a young female horse, under age four gait – a horse’s order of foot movements gelding – male horse that has been neutered (like your cat or dog) so it cannot have young halter – a collar and leadrope
