    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.

The Department for Transport in the UK publishes annual statistics about the activ- ity of motorists, cyclists and walkers. No such information is currently available for horse owners, loaners or sharers and we would like to change this. We are also interested in seeing to what extent you and your horses use public roads and other rights of way, and your experiences; particularly when using roads. It will be extremely helpful to establish some baseline figures, which will help us with campaigning for improved equestrian road safety and access to safe off-road riding routes. Currently, we are only collecting information from horse owners/sharers/loaners in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. This survey is part of a larger study investigating equestrian road safety. If you have any questions about the study or this survey, please contact [email protected] Questions with * must be answered to complete the submission.

  • 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.

  • Safety When Hitching and Unhitching NEVER Try to Put a Bridle on A
    At all DDC events, Whips/Drivers shall adhere to the following Code of Conduct when it comes to Safety! Why are we emphasizing this? Unsafe practices endanger everyone (not just you and your equines). Please take a minute and read the following carefully. If you have any question about the following Code of Conduct, please ask any DDC BOD member Safety when hitching and unhitching NEVER try to put a bridle on a horse when away from his home stable without first securing him with a rope around his neck. NEVER start to hitch the horse to the vehicle without having the reins fastened to the bridle. NEVER try to back a horse between shafts lying on the ground. NEVER leave the ends of the reins unbuckled in case one should be dropped when you are getting into the carriage or while driving. NEVER take the bridle off while the horse is still attached to the vehicle-not even when he has a halter under the bridle. NEVER leave a nervous horse tied to the side of a trailer.20 NEVER start to unhitch a horse in unfamiliar surrounding without a capable person at his head. NEVER allow anyone to sit in the carriage before the driver has taken his/her place. NEVER when you are the driver, leave the carriage before all the passengers have gotten out. NEVER leave a horse alone while hitched to the carriage. Safety for drivers ALWAYS signal to other traffic before stopping or turning. ALWAYS take great care when passing another carriage, and do so only when you can see sufficient clear road in front.

  • The History of International Equestrian Sports
    “... and Allah took a handful of Southerly wind... and created the horse” The history of international equestrian sports Susanna Hedenborg Department of Sport Sciences, Malmö University Published on the Internet, www.idrottsforum.org/hedenborg140613, (ISSN 1652–7224), 2014-06-13 Copyright © Susanna Hedenborg 2014.

The aim of this paper is to chart the relationship between men, women and horses with focus on equestrian sports. The degree of internationality of these sports, as well as the question of whether a sport can be seen as international if only men or women participate, are discussed. Furthermore, the diffusion of equestrian sports are presented; in short, equestrian activities spread interna- tionally in different directions up until the late 19th century. Since then Olympic Equestrian events (dressage, show jumping and eventing) have been diffused from Europe. Even though men and women are allowed to compete against each other in the equestrian events, the number of men and women varies widely, irrespective of country, and until this imbalance is redressed, equestrian sports cannot be seen as truly international. SUSANNA HEDENBORG iis professor of sport studies at Malmö University, Sweden. Her research focuses on sport history as well as on issues of gender and age. Currently she is working with the international history of equestrian sports, addressing the interchangeable influences of gender, age and nationality.

  • A Guide to Interpreting Horse-Drawn Carriages in Museum Collections
    Contents Introduction 1 A guide What is interpretation? 2 to interpreting Horse-drawn carriages for beginners 3 horse-drawn Thinking about visitors 6 Challenges of interpreting carriages in horse-drawn carriages (and some solutions) 8 museum Ways in to carriages 12 collections Learning outcomes 14 Interpretative devices 20 Glossary 24 More information 26 Acknowledgements 27 Introduction 1 Horse-drawn carriages are found in museums across the country. A handful of collections consist of mostly carriages and little else. Some contain a few carriages along with other items, often transport related. Some museums may just have one carriage in the collection. However many carriages you care for, this guide, funded by Arts Council England, has been compiled to help when you are planning for their interpretation in your museum. This guide seeks to: • explain the basics of museum interpretation • establish some key facts about carriages for newcomers to the subject • explore the approaches to interpreting these objects • inspire you to create great interpretation • provide you with information and contacts you may need in the future This guide does not seek to: • provide advice on the physical display of objects in terms of collections care or management; • advise on how carriages may assist with audience development; or • be an exhaustive authority on the subject. It is instead a ready- reference guide to provide some inspiration and, we hope, confidence when it comes to interpreting carriages in your collection. For some people this guide will represent a first foray into the world of horse- drawn carriages. For others it will hopefully reinforce what you already know and do in your professional practice.

    Horses AGRICULTURAL MU Guide PUBLISHED BY MU EXTENSION, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA muextension.missouri.edu Choosing, Assembling and Using Bridles Wayne Loch, Department of Animal Sciences Bridles are used to control horses and achieve desired performance. Although horses can be worked without them or with substitutes, a bridle with one or two bits can add extra finesse. The bridle allows you to communicate and control your mount. For it to work properly, you need to select the bridle carefully according to the needs of you and your horse as well as the type of performance you expect. It must also be assembled correctly. Although there are many styles of bridles, the procedures for assembling and using them are similar. The three basic parts of a bridle All bridles have three basic parts: bit, reins and headstall (Figure 1). The bit is the primary means of communication. The reins allow you to manipulate the bit and also serve as a secondary means of communica- tion. The headstall holds the bit in place and may apply Figure 1. A bridle consists of a bit, reins and headstall. pressure to the poll.
