Saddle-Nodes and Period-Doublings of Smale Horseshoes: a Case Study Near Resonant Homoclinic Bellows
Saddle-nodes and period-doublings of Smale horseshoes: a case study near resonant homoclinic bellows Ale Jan Homburg KdV Institute for Mathematics, University of Amsterdam e-mail: [email protected] Alice C. Jukes Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London email: [email protected] Jurgen¨ Knobloch Department of Mathematics, TU Ilmenau e-mail: [email protected] Jeroen S.W. Lamb Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London email: [email protected] December 17, 2007 Abstract In unfoldings of resonant homoclinic bellows interesting bifurcation phe- nomena occur: two suspensed Smale horseshoes can collide and disappear in saddle-node bifurcations (all periodic orbits disappear through saddle-node bifurcations, there are no other bifurcations of periodic orbits), or a suspended horseshoe can go through saddle-node and period-doubling bifurcations of the periodic orbits in it to create an additional \doubled horseshoe". 1 Introduction In these notes we discuss speciﬁc homoclinic bifurcations involving multiple ho- moclinic orbits to a hyperbolic equilibrium with a resonance condition among the eigenvalues of the linearized vector ﬁeld about the equilibrium; the resonant homo- clinic bellows. A homoclinic bellows consists of two homoclinic orbits γ1(t); γ2(t) to a hyperbolic equilibrium with real leading eigenvalues, that are tangent to each other as t ! ∞. If the homoclinic orbits are symmetry related through the action of a Z2 symmetry, the homoclinic bellows is a bifurcation of codimension one (we review the bifurcation theory in x 2); the additional resonance condition makes it a bifurcation of codimension two. 1 The resonant homoclinic bellows is an organizing center for an interesting bifur- cation phenomenon involving suspended Smale horseshoes (this is our motivation for studying the bifurcation).

Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List
Equestrian Studies Western Equipment List Equestrian students are required to own and maintain the following equipment for their personal use in riding classes. Our faculty recognizes this list, though extensive, is not a complete list of equipment needed by professionals in our industry and is intended to accommodate the basic needs of students at the beginning of their careers. Substitution of some items is possible; however, the specific equipment listed below is recommended. During our first week of the academic year the incoming class tours local vendors for the purpose of acquiring supplies and equipment. Many students choose to leave the bulk of their personal gear at home and acquire a set of school equipment during the shopping days. Local vendors typically give discounts to RMC students on the items they purchase during the tours. If students have any questions, we recommend waiting until the faculty can assist in the purchasing process. We have strong opinions about what works best in our program and can best guide our students toward appropriate choices after the school year is underway. All personal gear should be clearly and indisputably labeled. Brass tags or plates riveted to leather tack are recommended. More economical “dog tags” can be purchased at a local PetSmart and work well to identify the owner. Additionally, black permanent markers can provide effective labeling of various items. Students may choose to color coordinate their gear using patterned duct tape or spray paint to create a distinctive “brand” on their equipment. Rider apparel Students need to manage their personal attire with a balance of professionalism in concert with practicality for weather conditions and budget.

Horse Racing Tack for the Hivewire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings
Horse Racing Tack for the HiveWire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings Horse racing is a sport that has a long history, dating as far back as ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Events in the first Greek Olympics included chariot and mounted horse racing and in ancient Rome, both of these forms of horse racing were major industries. As Thoroughbred racing developed as a sport, it became popular with aristocrats and royalty and as a result achieved the title "Sport of Kings." Today's horse racing is enjoyed throughout the world and uses several breeds of horses including Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses in the major race track circuit, and Arabians, Paints, Mustangs and Appaloosas on the County Fair circuit. There are four types of horse racing; Flat Track racing, Jump/Steeplechase racing, Endurance racing and Harness racing. “Racehorse Tack” is designed for the most common and popular type of horse racing, Flat Track. Tracks are typically oval in shape and are level. There are exceptions to this; in Great Britain and Ireland there are considerable variations in shape and levelness, and at Santa Anita (in California), there is the famous hillside turf course. Race track surfaces can vary as well with turf being the most common type in Europe and dirt more common in North America and Asia. Newer synthetic surfaces, such as Polytrack or Tapeta, are also seen at some tracks. Individual flat races are run over distances ranging from 440 yards (400 m) up to two and a half miles, with distances between five and twelve furlongs being most common.

Approved Tack and Equipment for British Dressage Competitions
Approved tack and equipment for British Dressage competitions Eﬀ ective from 17 June 2019 To be used with the corresponding rules in the Members’ Handbook This revised pictorial guide has been devised to be used alongside the British Dressage Members’ Handbook for clarification on permitted tack and equipment. British Dressage endeavours to mirror FEI Rules for permitted tack and equipment. Tack reviews are ongoing but, any additional permitted tack and equipment updates will only be issued twice yearly to coincide with the beginning of the summer and winter seasons (1 December and 18 June). At all BD Championships, there will be an appointed BD Steward(s) in attendance in all warm up arenas responsible for tack and equipment checking every competitor each time they compete. This will be a physical (not just visual) tack check, including nosebands. It’s the organisers’ responsibility to appoint stewards for this function and they must be BD or FEI qualified to the appropriate level, for further guidelines on the official tack check, please see rule 106 in the 2019 Members Handbook. For the complete guidelines on permitted tack and riding the test and penalties, please see section Section 1 of the Members’ Handbook. If the equipment that you are looking at are similar to those pictured, it’s permitted for use in BD competitions. If you have a query on any tack or equipment that you’re unsure about, please email a picture of the item to the Sports Operations Officer for clarification. NB: Please note that bridles without a throatlash will be permitted for use for national competitions, for international competitions please check FEI rules.

Reproduction of the Early Medieval Knight's Saddle
Reproduction of the Early Medieval Knight’s Saddle by Sir Armand de Sevigny [The following is a re-writing of an article done some ten years ago by Sir Armand for the Caid Leathercrafters Guild’s newsletter Tanned Hydes. Although the errors in the printed portions of that article have been removed, Sir Armand apologizes for the elemental nature of his drawings included therein.] The saddle of the medieval knight was essential to his effectiveness as a heavy cavalryman. By the end of the Eleventh Century the saddle had evolved into the basic form it was to maintain for the next four hundred years. The front piece, the pommel, was high and broad, as was the back of the seat, the cantle. Typically the cantle was curved forward to cradle the knight’s hips. A reproduction of a typical early medieval saddle [1050-1350 AD] can be made by anyone with rudimentary leather and woodworking skills and a degree of patience and imagination. The place to start is with the saddle’s foundation, the saddle “tree”. The tree is basically two shaped wooden “planks” that straddle the horse’s rib cage on either side of the backbone. These planks are secured by the wooden “pommel” and “cantle” fore and aft respectively. Because construction of a well- fitting saddle tree is beyond the artistic capacities of most of us, and because the proper shape and fitting of the tree is absolutely essential to the comfort of the horse, I would recommend against producing your own tree unless you are an expert with horses, saddles, and carpentry to begin with.

Ranch Horse Shows 1. by Entering All Contestants Agree to Abide by And
Ranch Horse Shows 1. By Entering all contestants agree to abide by and follow all rules. KPH Arena reserves the right to refuse entry to any horse or individual. 2. The purpose of the Versatility Ranch Horse Class is to demonstrate the performance, versatility, and conformation of the stock horse as a working ranch horse. 3. In schooling competitions, the judge will not encourage any maneuver or action contrary to established rules, or which would not be deemed safe for any participant within the same division. 4. In all Ranch Horse Classes, horses will be shown in a western saddle and appropriate bridle, snaffle bit or hackamore for the duration of the class. A western saddle is a common type of saddle distinguished by a large noticeable fork on which there is some form of horn, a high cantle and large skirts. Silver equipment will not count over a good working outfit. Horses 5 yrs old and younger may be shown in a snaffle bit, hackamore, curb bit, half-breed or spade bit. Horses 6 yrs and older may only be shown in a curb bit, half-breed or spade bit. When a curb is used a curb strap or curb chain is required, but must meet the approval of the judge, be at least one-half inch in width and lie flat against the jaw of the horse. Curb chains cannot be tied to the bit with string or cord. A broken strap or chain does not necessarily result in a major penalty. If you are in question, approach the Judge/Clinician prior to event to review tack.
