  • Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler
    Notes from Manuel Trigo Clinic Saturday 2/1/2014 and Sunday 2/2/2014 Notes from Sandy Whisler Some Caveats from Sandy: I was not intentionally writing these notes for others to read, so as I took them I included some rephrasing to help me remember and understand what I was seeing and hearing. As a result, although I believe that I have the gist of what Manuel said and was trying to explain, there are undoubtedly some things that I have wrong or incomplete. If you see these, please send me corrections or your own explanations of what you understood. I will usually use ‘snaffle’ when I mean top rein since that is what I am used to and have in my notes. I wrote most during the first group for each session and later added just what was additional or that I missed the first time. I would also like to say that I really enjoyed seeing all of you work with your horses. It is difficult to try really new things in front of other people with an excited horse away from home. You all did a wonderful job! I am glad I get to try these things alone at home first . Saturday Morning before and during group one. Serreta—a type of cavesson. Used instead of snaffle. Ride with two reins—1) snaffle or serreta (on top) The serreta must be correctly shaped to the horse’s nose. Each horse needs his own. 2) and curb (on bottom) A rider who does not respect the horse will hurt the horse’s mouth with the snaffle.

  • 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.

Avoid floppy items and dangling jewelry. • Absolutely no smoking, use of illegal substances or drinking of alcoholic beverages on the premises. • When leading a horse in and out of a stall, be sure the stall door is open all the way. • Face the front of the stall before removing the halter. Always have an escape route. • Horses with tack on need to be on cross ties in their stall and cross tied to their halter, not the bit. • Always make sure the stall door is latched properly when a horse is loose in the stall by himself. • Stall doors should stay unlocked when a person is in the stall or if the horse is on cross ties. • Return all supplies and equipment to their storage locations when you are finished. • Ask staff any questions you may have. We are here to help! Approaching and Haltering a Horse in a Stall or Paddock • Pegasus uses both grooming halters and full halters for a variety of reasons.

  • Tequiro Designed En Developed in the Netherlands
    Handmade high quality products bij EDIX® an official registered trademark, all products are Tequiro designed en developed in the Netherlands. treeless saddle EDIX® Treeless Treeless riding reintroduces the way of riding that was performed for many centuries, before the invention of the treed saddle. Therefore, treeless riding is not a novelty, but a different way of horse riding. Due to the treeless saddle, horse and rider experience more mutual feeling, the so-called “close contact”, enabling them to develop easily a more refined way of communicating through the rider’s position. A treeless saddle consists of at least two individual components, and the term “treeless saddle combination” would actually be more appropriate. It is the combination of the special saddle pad, including [email protected] the pressure-distributing inlays, with the two-part superstructure (the saddle) which together ensure ultimate flexibility across the horse’s www.edixsaddles.com back. Right there is the strength of the balanced pressure distribu- tion, through the different layers across the maximum surface of the horse’s back. It is exactly those soft parts that give the saddle great flexibility in all directions. It goes without saying that your horse will be able to move much more freely because of this enormous flexibility. Dealer: EDIX® treeless riding, a way to more mutual feeling between you and your horse! The EDIX® treeless saddles and saddle pads consist of high quality which is often shown by an increase in muscle mass. Due to the materials which, owing to the structure of different layers of flexible above and after the habituation period, both horse and rider, show materials, together ensure perfect pressure-distributing properties, in all aspect of horse riding more relaxation and more fluid move- the so-called EDIX® MPDS: multiple pressure distribution system.

  • Practical Directives for Lungeing the Horse
    PRACTICAL DIRECTIVES FOR LUNGEING THE HORSE We all know that equestrian sports, and dressage no less than any other, bear an inherent risk of mishaps and ac- cidents. Even if we know our equine partner well and have mutual trust, we must bear in mind that nowhere else can Murphy’s Law strike as unpredictably as in the horse world. Everybody involved with horses should act with care and circumspection to avoid disaster. This is particularly important for the professional since he/she is a role model for students and observers alike. To mitigate the risks to all involved it is of crucial importance that safety factors are considered in all aspects of the handling and training of horses. Unsuitable or uncomfortably fitting tack, as well as improper use of equipment, can provoke the horse into un- foreseen reactions, not only endangering the horse itself, but also the student and the trainer. Frequently this may result in litigation, or the destruction of a reputation or a career. Among other things, this program advises on safety guidelines that must be observed not only at the official USDF testing, but should be standard practice at everybody’s home base. Safety Factors • Teach the horse to always walk away from the trainer (not rush away) • Proper condition of equipment * No bad stitching or worn-out patches on tack, especially side reins or lunge line. * Buckles and snaps secure. • Proper fit of equipment * Check bit and noseband. * Reins done up or taken off. * Cavesson correct height, not chafing, eye strap tight. * Lunge girth, appropriate number of rings.
