Thoroughbred Horses
Thoroughbred Horses Visit Funny Cide at the KHP Hall of Champions! A long time ago, man tamed the horse. People used horses to farm and to ride. Today, people also race horses.

When foals are about six months old they are weaned, meaning separated from their mothers. 3 Weanlings live in a herd made of up horses their age. ! ! When horses turn one year old, they are called yearlings. At this point, boy horses are called colts, and girl horses are called fillies. 4 ! ! 5 Horses start racing at two years old. ! ! Racehorses retire on farms after (hopefully) long careers. Some racehorses become pleasure horses, while others are bred to produce more 6 racehorses. ! ! What about horses? Where do horses live?

Trail Trials Rules and Guidelines
Trail Trials Rules and Guidelines TABLE OF CONTENTS Section Title 1 INTRODUCTION 2 GENERAL RULES 3 OBSTACLE RULES 4 HOW TO ORGANIZE A TRAIL TRIALS 5 A WORD FROM THE MANAGEMENT Section 1 INTRODUCTION Trail Trials have become a popular event in many areas. They are not new, just getting more well-known. They consist of a trail ride, usually averaging between two and three hours, with trail obstacles along the way. Bear in mind that the later you start your competition, the longer your ride can be due to possible waits at some obstacles. Obstacles are natural, or simulate naturally occurring conditions (including urban) for the horse and rider to negotiate. However, emphasis should be placed on having natural obstacles. There are usually 8-12 obstacles to test the rider's knowledge and the horse's capabilities. Trail trials are meant to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. As long as safety and common sense are kept in mind, everyone will have a good time. It is important to remember that the people doing the judging at sanctioned trail trials events are volunteers following this rule book and are doing the best they can. They are NOT paid professionals. It must be understood that these rules are guidelines subject to various interpretations by (sometimes) inexperienced judges. This rule book was started in 1987 by members of Corrals 12, 22, 35, 54 and 63 (the original Trail Trials Committee) with the thought of standardizing the rules for all contestants and to give guidelines for those wanting to put on a trail trial event. -

In contrast, the equine fossil record shows that an extraordinarily richer diversity existed in the past and provides multiple examples of a highly dynamic evolution punctuated by several waves of explosive radiations and extinctions, cross-continental migrations, and local adaptations. -

A couple of wrinkles on either side of the horse’s mouth is a good guide that the bit is sitting in the correct place. MATERIALS Stainless Steel Unless otherwise specified, all Zilco bits are made from 18/8 Stainless Steel Gold Zilco Gold range of bits contain a special mix of copper (85%) and quality metals which produce a bit with superior strength. Guaranteed ‘nickel free’ reducing the risk of nickel allergies. The horse is encouraged to salivate through the activity of chewing. This is a material designed to discolour over time, further enhancing the effect of acceptance. Sweet Iron Sweet Iron bits are designed to rust. This effect makes the bit become sweeter and further encourages acceptance of the bit by the horse. Blue Steel Blue steel bits are an improved version of black steel (Sweet Iron), that causes it to oxidise quicker. -
User's Manual
USER’S MANUAL The Bitless Bridle, Inc. email: [email protected] Phone: 719-576-4786 5220 Barrett Rd. Fax: 719-576-9119 Colorado Springs, Co. 80926 Toll free: 877-942-4277 IMPORTANT: Read the fitting instructions on pages four and five before using. Improper fitting can result in less effective control. AVOIDANCE OF ACCIDENTS Nevertheless, equitation is an inherently risky activity and The Bitless Bridle, Inc., can accept no responsibility for any accidents that might occur. CAUTION Observe the following during first time use: When first introduced to the Bitless Bridle™, it sometimes revives a horse’s spirits with a feeling of “free at last”. Such a display of exuberance will eventually pass, but be prepared for the possibility even though it occurs in less than 1% of horses. Begin in a covered school or a small paddock rather than an open area. Consider preliminary longeing or a short workout in the horse’s normal tack. These and other strategies familiar to horse people can be used to reduce the small risk of boisterous behavior. APPLICATION The action of this bridle differs fundamentally from all other bitless bridles (the hackamores, bosals, and sidepulls). By means of a simple but subtle system of two loops, one over the poll and one over the nose, the bridle embraces the whole of the head. It can be thought of as providing the rider with a benevolent headlock on the horse (See illustration below) . Unlike the bit method of control, the Bitless Bridle is compatible with the physiological needs of the horse at excercise. -
The Virtual Joust
Project Number: JLS-0060 The Virtual Joust An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ ____________________ Hyungjoon Kim Justin Liu Patrick Newell Steven Shidlovsky Date: April 15, 2009 Approved: _____________________________________ Jeffrey L. Forgeng, Major Advisor 1 ABSTRACT This project presents a sport of the past using current technologies to recreate the experience of jousting for visitors to the Higgins Armory Museum. Through collaboration with museum staff, intensive historical research, and a rigorous, iterative software development cycle, the project team developed a jousting simulation using technologies that incorporated Java, Flash, TCP/IP sockets, Bluetooth and XML. Nintendo® Wii remotes, embedded in a lance stub and to horse reins, were also used to further simulate realism in the user-application interface. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The project group would like to thank the following people for their support in the successful completion of this project: . Elizabeth Beinke for her assistance in generating graphic samples for the initial design . Michael Calabro for his lending of hardware resources and time commitment to voluntary beta testing and technical photography modeling. Peter Keller for his providing of in-depth knowledge and insight in the areas of heraldry and professional software development. Patricia Martini for her professional assistance and editing with technical documentation. Emilia Martini for her assistance in acquiring hardware resources, revising technical documentation, and voluntary beta testing. Noel Naczi for lending his voice acting talent. The Higgins Armory Museum and its staff for providing access to both printed resources and museum pieces for our research. -

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.
