In hunt seat equitation and horsemanship events, it is the rider and not the horse that is being judged. The actions of the horse are important only as they reflect on the horsemanship of the rider. Thus it is pos- sible for a rider whose horse “acts up” to be placed among the winners because in the judges’ opinion she met the problem skillfully and solved it. Conversely, a seemingly good ride may mean nothing more than a placed horse carrying an unwitting passenger. The rider is always being judged in horsemanship classes, whether the class calls for jumping or whether it is run “on the flat” without jumps.

Judging equitation classes is not done by a mathematical formula. Judges are usually looking for style of riding, accuracy and judgment in the use of the aids (hands, seat and legs), suppleness and lightness of hands and a general impression of complete, quiet control. The program description of equitation classes makes reference to tests for riders in the different classes. This refers to the test of horsemanship that has been established by the American Horse Shows Association for all recognized shows and is published in the annual rulebook. Equitation judges must choose from these individual tests in judging horsemanship. The com- mon criteria are:

Posture: The position of the body, the legs, the hands, the head and eyes are all indicators of good horsemanship. The rider’s back should be straight, chest out, head and eyes ahead in an alert, relaxed position. The ap- pearance of the rider should give the impression of alert buoyancy. The movements of her body should be those that derive naturally from the horse’s movements. Correct posture at all gaits and in all movements is a basic element that judges look for in horsemanship.

Hands: A rider’s hands should keep a light but certain contact with the mouth of the horse. Reins should be on a straight line from the horse’s mouth to the rider’s elbow.

Wrong lead: In a canter, the horse leading with the wrong leg is “on the wrong lead”. Moving clockwise a horse should be leading with his right front leg. Mov- ing counterclockwise, he should lead with the left.

Legs: Heels should be down. No excessive weight should be carried on the stirrup irons. Legs should be quiet under the rider at all times.

Diagonals: This fault may appear while a rider is posting (rising and sinking back in the saddle in rhythm with the horse’s trot) at the trot. The rider’s movement in posting should be impelled by the forward movement of the horse’s inside rear leg; that is, the rear leg that is closest to the center of the ring.

In many ways, Pickens is a record-setting philanthro- pist. His $165 million gift to his alma mater, Oklahoma State University, in 2005 is the single largest gift for athletics in NCAA history, and the $7 million donation to the American Red Cross in 2005 is the largest individual contribution in the 150-year history of that organization. His unprecedented giving to athletics has triggered a renais- sance in Oklahoma State University’s football program and was a key factor in its first Big 12 championship in 2011 and its first BCS Bowl win in the Fiesta Bowl matchup with Stanford in 2012. On May 21, 2008, Pickens gave $100 million for the endowment of major faculty chairs and professorships at Oklahoma State University. The OSU School of Geology already bears his name from previous gifts to OSU. Over the years, Pickens has donated over $500 million to Oklahoma State, split virtually equally between athletics and academics.

BULLET The Oklahoma State University Cowboys have many symbols of their western heritage, but none is more appropriate than their mascot, . The Spirit Rider program debuted in 1984 with the first few Spirit Riders providing their own horse to serve as mascot for the OSU Cowboys.

However, in 1988, Stars Parr Money was donated to the OSU Athletic Department to be used specifically as the mascot. Since that time, Bullet has delighted crowds with his traditional sprint across the football field following every Cowboy touch- down. The heart of the Cowboy Spirit Rider Program, Bullet is not only seen at Boone Pickens Stadium and other OSU football games, he’s made appearances at local elementary schools, parades, rodeos and other special events, including the opening ceremonies of the Oklahoma State Special Olympics.

In honor of the Spirit Rider and its tradition, Jim Ham- ilton sculpted the Spirit Rider bronze statue that sits next to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater.

OKSTATE.COM | COACHGUNDY.COM | @OSUATHLETICS | @COWBOYFB | @COACHGUNDY | #OKSTATE 221 AMERICA’S GREATEST HOMECOMING CELEBRATION

Friday night’s “Walkaround” attracts thousands to campus for Homecoming.

Ask any Oklahoma State University graduate what OSU’s greatest tradition is, and you’ll hear one word - Homecoming.

The OSU Alumni Association has presented Homecoming at OSU since 1920 growing it from a small-town carnival to a nine-day, award-winning celebration. It is widely known as “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” with its signa- ture event, Walkaround, which regularly draws more than 80,000 spectators to view elaborate Greek house decorations, parade floats and residence halls bathed in orange.

OSU’s Homecoming is entirely run by students - more than 250 on committees within the Alumni Association and thou- sands more in Greek, residential and campus life. Cowboys love our Homecoming tradition and are actively contributing to an endowment to secure its future existence and growth on our campus.

Homecoming is a driving force in the Stillwater community. In 2013, the Harvest Carnival event contributed 18,500 pounds of canned food donations to the local Harvest II food drive. Homecoming also highlights other OSU sports at Homecoming & Hoops where fans can preview the upcoming season’s squads for Cowboy and Cowgirl basketball in addition to enjoying a pep rally for Saturday’s football game.

From the Edmon Low Library’s orange fountain to Hester Street painted for coaches and players to view during “The Walk,” OSU and its alumni are proud to claim “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration.” Homecoming 2018: ‘Cow- boys Ride On’ is October 11-27 and will conclude with the Texas vs. OSU football game on Saturday, October 27.
