  • 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.

  • North Dakota 4-H Horse Shows Bit Rule Examples and Explanations
    GBH093 North Dakota 4-H Horse Shows Bit Rule Examples and Explanations The following pages include the bit rules from the current North Dakota 4-H Horse Show Rules and Judges Guide (GBH092), some further explanations, and many examples of bits and mouthpieces. Text written in this style are the rules taken directly from the rulebook. Further explanations of the rules are in blue boxes written in text of this style. Pictures show examples of bits that are labeled as: Acceptable Acceptable as long as measurements that cannot be judged by the picture meet allowances Not allowed Please understand that this supplement gives only some examples of legal and unacceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. The explanations should describe the intent/purpose of the rules to help draw a conclusion for bits not included. If any discrepancies occur between this and the printed rulebook text, the printed rulebook will have precedence. The supplement is designed in the same approach as the rulebook. Each division has its own section with no cross‐referencing to another. Some examples are repetitive when looking at it beginning to end. You should be able to pull out any one section and have what you need for the division. (Exceptions: As in the rulebook, a section applies to the western, ranch and speed events, then they each have separate additional sections.) Edited and revised with permission from the University of Florida for North Dakota 4-H Rules by the North Dakota 4-H Equine Advisory Committee.

  • Guidelines for Bits in New England 4-H Horse Shows (PDF)
    These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the current New England 4-H Horse Show Rulebook. See rulebook for additional details involving bits and equipment for respective classes. Because the New England 4-H Horse Program is diverse in both its divisions and in the breeds that compete, it is difficult to generate a complete list of acceptable bits. Bits that are permitted by respective breed associations may be acceptable at the judge's discretion. A judge at his/her discretion can penalize a horse with non-conventional types of bits. Please understand that this supplement gives only examples of legal and u acceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. If exhibitors have questions concerning a bit they wish to use, and that specific bit is not mentioned in the current rules or these guidelines, then exhibitors should ask the show stewards and/or the judge if the bit is acceptable for that show. Exhibitors should have alternative bits available so that they can make a change if it is determined by show officials that their preferred bit is unacceptable for that show. Each county, district or regional, and state show is officiated by different stewards and judges. Therefore, exhibitors must seek approval from show officials at each show before using the questionable bit. Members should consult with professionals in their riding discipline or contact the appropriate breed association for guidance in selecting a bit in order to find one that is both appropriate and acceptable for use in New England 4-H shows.

    USEF/WDAA Attire and Equipment Guide The purpose of this USEF/WDAA Attire and Equipment Guide is to provide an explanation for and additional information about the appointments (attire and tack) allowed under the USEF Western Dressage Division. In the case of conflicting verbiage, the current online USEF Rule Book will supersede this document. A USEF-licensed competition that offers Western Dressage tests/classes must use either a USEF-licensed Category 2 Steward or an inspector designated by show management and under the direction of the C2 Steward. Tack and bits on both sides of the horse of a minimum of one-third of the horses in each class/test must be inspected. At Federation-licensed competitions, except USEF Competition Lite competitions, the C2 Steward or the person who is under the direction of the Steward and appointed by the competition management will be responsible for overseeing the checking of the horse, tack, and attire. A horse must be eliminated from the test just completed if the horse or any tack and/or attire are in violation of the rules and/or the tongue has been tied. C2 Stewards or Equipment Inspectors are only required to inspect bits and other appointments on a minimum of one-third of the horses in a class. See further information in this document for proper equipment check procedures. Horses with illegal equipment in the warm-up ring will be eliminated from the next class they are entering unless the equipment can be corrected before the scheduled ride time for that entry. At a non-USEF WDAA competition or a USEF Competition Lite, a designated individual must assume the responsibility of overseeing the checking of horses, tack, bits, and attire.
