    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.

  • 4/1 Can You Have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse?
    Eclectic Horseman Issue #79 Sept/Oct- 4/1 Can you have a Ranch Horse and a Dressage Horse? Over the course of the last ten to fifteen years I have had the amazing good fortune to get to know and study with one our current Master Horsemen, Ms. Bettina Drummond. As a student of Nuno Oliveria, a scholar in the subject of Classical Dressage, and a perpetual seeker of a deep relationship with her horses, Bettina’s knowledge is unequalled. In 2012 she came out West with her Quarterhorse stallion to acquaint him with his “Western” heritage and to further her study of the comparisons between Classical Dressage and true Vaquero traditions and training. I had a marvelous time riding the mountains of eastern Oregon, playing with cows, and having long discussions with Bettina in comparing our western horsemanship jobs and relationships with our horses with her background in true Classical Dressage. One of my over-arching goals was to seek an answer to the question of whether or not I could bring along my horses to accomplish the jobs necessary on the ranch, but still adhere to the principles of the Classical Dressage training scale. (i.e. Note these aspects vary slightly in order and have different interpretations given differences in languages: Rhythm, Suppleness/Relaxation, Contact, Straightness, Engagement/Impulsion, and Collection) See articles regarding use of the Training Scale at: www.tnthorsemanship.com/articles Now I am by no means a scholar regarding the bio-mechanics required of the horse/human team to accomplish any job on the ranch or on the dressage court.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Except for the quotation of short passages for the purposes of criticism and review, no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior permission of the author. 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.
