WELCOME TO THE 2019 CARRIAGE DRIVING SHOW NEBRASKA STATE FAIR, GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA The 2019 Carriage Driving Show will run during two days, August 31st and September 1st, in the Thompson Foods Open Air Arena and Sports Field Arena. Judging will begin at 8:00 A.M. Once the competition has finished, our judge has agreed to teach group clinic sessions for all who are interested on Saturday afternoon. Our judge and clinician is Muffy Seaton of Williston, S.C. Muffy Seaton from Williston, S.C. is a well-known driver, trainer and breeder of driving ponies. She has been an active combined driving event and pleasure driving competitor, judge and clinician for the past 28 years. In addition, Muffy has served on American Driving Society (ADS) and United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) driving committees. She is a registered USA Equestrian and ADS judge in pleasure, combined driving and driving dressage. She is also one of few worldwide to hold the prestigious British Driving Society Light Harness Horse Instructor’s certificate. Driving her Dartmoor pair of “Fleas”, Muffy has won every major combined driving event in the East, and in 1997 she was invited to represent the United States at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in England where she placed third overall and was the highest-placed American. She has been the USEF National Pony Champion four times, first with a four-in-hand and then with her pair. In 2005 she qualified for the World Pony Championships in England and trained the single pony who won the gold medal. As a clinician, Muffy believes a strong bond of confidence has to exist between the driver and the driving horse in order to have a safe and happy turnout. She stresses communication and trust in all her training sessions because she feels that without communication, there can be no trust, therefore, no teamwork between driver and horse. 2 of 9 HEALTH REQUIREMENTS/CERTIFICATE OF VETERINARY INSPECTION All horses being exhibited at the Nebraska State Fair must meet all of the equine heath requirements prior to entering the Nebraska State Fairgrounds or at unloading time, which are found at the following link: 2019 Equine & Equine Event Livestock Health Requirements.

    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.

  • Hat Should I Wear for a Horse Show? While the Answer to This Question
    hat should I wear for a horse show? While the answer to this question will W vary depending on whether you are riding in a local schooling show or competing in a rated show (e.g. the “A” rated Midstates Horse Shows in Mason City, or the “B” rated Valley Park in Des Moines), the following information should help you figure out what is appropriate. If you have any questions about whether something is appropriate, ask your trainer. This is always good advice. Helmet & Hair Whether you are jumping huge fences or just sitting on your horse waiting for your lesson to begin, accidents can happen to anyone, at any time. Thus, any time you are mounted you need to be wearing a helmet with the chin-strap fastened. Purchase an ASTM/SEI-approved helmet that hasn’t been involved in a fall. After a serious impact resulting in obvious helmet damage, discard the helmet and buy a new one. You May wish to replace it even if there is no external damage. The general rule is to replace a helmet every 5 years, whether or not it has been involved in a fall. When trying on helmets, wear your hair as you’ll wear it when riding, as this will affect the fit. Helmets should fit snugly and be worn over the top of your head, with the brim resting just above your eyebrows. Do not wear your helmet perched on top of your head, or tilted back. If your helmet wiggles when you shake your head, it is too large.

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.

  • Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business by Robert C
    Think Twice About Risks of Horse Rental Business By Robert C. Church It is unrealistic to consider profit as an incentive for owning horses on a limited, part-time basis. Liability insurance makes it almost prohibitive for even full-time stables with professional help to operate. An element of risk for a horse-oriented busi- ness has never been established; therefore, the insurance rate is arbitrarily set. Volume of business and services such as indoor riding arenas, instruction and training, and professional supervision offered to their clientele keep the full-time stables profitable. Most rental stables cater to the novice rider who has had no formal instruction and thus is a considerable risk on a horse. A person who keeps horses for public hire must become familiar with the habits, disposition and traits of the horses. An owner who knows a particular horse is apt to be vicious may be held liable for injuries caused by that animal. The rental horse business is fraught with risk and should be entered into only after considering suitability of the horses involved, insurance costs, availability and safety of trails, and the expertise of those who will supervise riding. Some people use personal mounts for riding instruction.- In most cases a homeowner's policy will cover liability if this enterprise falls within the confines of a casual and not a full- time enterprise. However, many recently written policies do not include this type coverage. If you have the required skills, training horses on limited acreage as a part-time occupation can provide supplemental income.

  • 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.
