  • The Paso Fino Sport Horse Is the Perfect Horse to Fill This Need
    THE PASO FINOPART S IPORT HORSE By Millie Hopkins, Professional Paso Fino Trainer and want to enjoy their kind of training – the Paso Fino Sport Horse is the perfect horse to fill this need. This is the athlete from the Paso Fino breed that yields the Without exception, when my horses pop out in this market, folks STOP, LOOK, and want to know MORE! That is very rewarding, for the breed! On my own and with a semi-retired approach since 2003, I have worked with over 30 horses and numerous clients, building toward the Sport Horse market. A Paso Fino Sport Horse should reflect the Sport Horse definition and meet the National and International Standards and requirements. Interestingly, this standard just reflects and embodies the Life, History, and the Legacy of the Paso Fino. Conformation: Sport horses should have a sloping shoulder, “turned-over” neck, and an uphill build. Conformation has direct effects on the animal’s movement and jumping ability. Movement: Although movement may vary between disciplines, most sport horses are bred for a long, athletic stride and movement that uses the whole body. The Paso Fino Corto, Largo, and Canter should have good suspension with the horse naturally reaching under his body with his hind legs. This movement makes it easier for the rider to teach the horse to engage, collect, and extend his stride, which are necessary qualities in all sport horse disciplines. Jumping Ability: Horses bred for jumping disciplines also possess good jumping form, with tight lower legs and good roundness in the top line during the jump execution.

  • Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Management Plan
    Badlands National Park – North Unit Environmental Assessment U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Badlands National Park, North Unit Pennington and Jackson Counties, South Dakota Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Management Plan Environmental Assessment August 2007 Badlands National Park – North Unit Environmental Assessment National Park Service Prairie Dog Management Plan U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service Black-Tailed Prairie Dog Management Plan Environmental Assessment Badlands National Park, North Unit Pennington and Jackson Counties, South Dakota Executive Summary The U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service (NPS) proposes to implement a comprehensive black-tailed prairie dog management plan for the North Unit of Badlands National Park where prairie dog populations have increased from approximately 2,070 acres in 1979 to 6,363 acres in 2006, or 11% of the approximately 60,000 acres of available suitable habitat. The principal objectives of the management plan are to ensure that the black-tailed prairie dog is maintained in its role as a keystone species in the mixed-grass prairie ecosystem on the North Unit, while providing strategies to effectively manage instances of prairie dog encroachment onto adjacent private lands. The plan also seeks to manage the North Unit’s prairie dog populations to sustain numbers sufficient to survive unpredictable events that may cause high mortality, such as sylvatic plague, while at the same time allowing park managers to meet management goals for other North Unit resources. Primary considerations in developing the plan include conservation of the park’s natural processes and conditions, identification of effective tools for prairie dog management, implementing strategies to deal with prairie dog encroachment onto adjacent private lands, and protection of human health and safety.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Horse Racing Tack for the Hivewire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings
    Horse Racing Tack for the HiveWire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings Horse racing is a sport that has a long history, dating as far back as ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Events in the first Greek Olympics included chariot and mounted horse racing and in ancient Rome, both of these forms of horse racing were major industries. As Thoroughbred racing developed as a sport, it became popular with aristocrats and royalty and as a result achieved the title "Sport of Kings." Today's horse racing is enjoyed throughout the world and uses several breeds of horses including Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses in the major race track circuit, and Arabians, Paints, Mustangs and Appaloosas on the County Fair circuit. There are four types of horse racing; Flat Track racing, Jump/Steeplechase racing, Endurance racing and Harness racing. “Racehorse Tack” is designed for the most common and popular type of horse racing, Flat Track. Tracks are typically oval in shape and are level. There are exceptions to this; in Great Britain and Ireland there are considerable variations in shape and levelness, and at Santa Anita (in California), there is the famous hillside turf course. Race track surfaces can vary as well with turf being the most common type in Europe and dirt more common in North America and Asia. Newer synthetic surfaces, such as Polytrack or Tapeta, are also seen at some tracks. Individual flat races are run over distances ranging from 440 yards (400 m) up to two and a half miles, with distances between five and twelve furlongs being most common.

  • Read Book Through England on a Side-Saddle Ebook, Epub
    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.

  • 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.
