    Riikka-Liisa Räbinä BENCHMARKING FINNISH AND IRISH EQUESTRIAN TOURISM Thesis Kajaani University of Applied Sciences School of Tourism Tourism Spring 2010 THESIS ABSTRACT School Degree Programme School of Tourism Tourism Author(s) Riikka-Liisa Räbinä Title Benchmarking Finnish and Irish Equestrian Tourism Optionalvaihtoehtiset Professional Studies Supervisor(s) Anneli Karppinen Commissioned by Date Total Number of Pages and Appendices Spring 2010 47 The purpose of this thesis was to benchmark Finnish and Irish equestrian tourism. One of the goals was also to examine the current status of equestrian tourism in Finland, as well as the use of the Finn- horse in equestrian tourism services. Improvement suggestions were created based on research about Irish equestrian tourism as well as the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse. There was no commissioner for the thesis. The topic arose from personal interest in equestrian tourism and the growing importance of the Finnhorse as part of the industry. The first part of the thesis comprises the theoretical background. It includes different aspects of eques- trian tourism in Finland and in Ireland. The current status of equestrian tourism in Finland and the safety guidelines created by the Finnish Consumer Agency are discussed in detail. The history, current status, and different usages of the Finnhorse are discussed. Also the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse as Irish horse breeds are elaborated. The second part is the empirical part. It gives suggestions for improving equestrian tourism in Finland and increasing the use of the Finnhorse in tourism related services. The suggestions are based on strat- egies and actions implemented by different organizations in Ireland.
  • Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business by Robert C

    Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business by Robert C

    Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business By Robert C. Church It is unrealistic to consider profit as an incentive for owning horses on a limited, part-time basis. Liability insurance makes it almost prohibitive for even full-time stables with professional help to operate. An element of risk for a horse-oriented busi- ness has never been established; therefore, the insurance rate is arbitrarily set. Volume of business and services such as indoor riding arenas, instruction and training, and professional supervision offered to their clientele keep the full-time stables profitable. Most rental stables cater to the novice rider who has had no formal instruction and thus is a considerable risk on a horse. A person who keeps horses for public hire must become familiar with the habits, disposition and traits of the horses. An owner who knows a particular horse is apt to be vicious may be held liable for injuries caused by that animal. The rental horse business is fraught with risk and should be entered into only after considering suitability of the horses involved, insurance costs, availability and safety of trails, and the expertise of those who will supervise riding. Some people use personal mounts for riding instruction.- In most cases a homeowner's policy will cover liability if this enterprise falls within the confines of a casual and not a full- time enterprise. However, many recently written policies do not include this type coverage. If you have the required skills, training horses on limited acreage as a part-time occupation can provide supplemental income.

  • Horse and Buggy Driver's Manual

    Horse and Buggy Driver's Manual

    Horse and Buggy Driver’s Manual PUB 632 (4-19) www.penndot.gov Foreword Now more than ever, we, as horse and buggy drivers, need to be careful and observe the basic rules of safety when traveling on today’s busy roads. There is more traffic going much faster than ever before and we must do what we can to assure our own safety as well as that of motorists with whom we must share the road. We’ve created a horse and buggy driver safety manual to assist in this effort. Proper operation of your horse and buggy on these busy roads can greatly reduce crashes. The manual is intended for horse and buggy drivers operating on public roadways. However, this manual can also be useful for motor vehicle drivers, especially out-of-town visitors and tourists, not familiar with encountering horse and buggies traveling on the road. We hope that you will find this information useful and will do your part to make our roadways safe.

Award participants automatically are entered in both programs when they submit results. The USLF Lipizzan Laurels presents a Lipizzan Laurels Award for outstanding performance by a Lipizzan/XL Lipizzan horse in several sections within the program’s ten major disciplines. Junior Exhibitor Awards are also presented in all ten disciplines. Lipizzan Laurels awards are tabulated on an annual basis during the competition year, which runs from November 1st of the previous year to October 31st of the current year. The Lipizzan/XL Lipizzan Star Award is a lifetime award presented to each Lipizzan/XL Lipizzan meeting Star requirements. Lipizzan/XL Lipizzan horses may take as many years as needed to earn Star points. The owner of the achieving horse will receive an official bronze, silver, gold, or platinum Star when they have accumulated the necessary points in their discipline. Stars are presented in ten disciplines: Show, Competitive Trail, Endurance, Dressage, Eventing, Working Western, Carriage Pleasure, Combined Driving, Western Dressage, and Working Equitation. Horses who earn five of the ten bronze Stars are presented with the USLF Lipizzan/XL Lipizzan Sport Horse Award. 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES To be eligible for these awards, horses must be registered with the USLF at the time scores are earned. Both the owner and all riders or drivers of the horse must be current USLF members at the time scores are earned.
