  • The Upside-Down Horse
    The Upside-Down Horse THE UPSIDE-DOWN HORSE By Lee Ziegler, revised 1997 Does your horse travel with his nose in the air, looking for stars? Does he have a concave curve in his neck, just in front of his withers? Is he awkward going downhill? Does he have trouble turning sharply or going in large circles? If he has these problems, it is a sure bet that he is an "upside-down horse." This doesn't mean that he spends his time lying on his back with his feet in the air! It means that when you ride him, his neck, back, croup and belly form a series of concave curves. This "hollow “position is bad for the horse and not very attractive to look at; it also works against a smooth, rhythmic fox trot. Fortunately, being upside down is not a permanent state for most horses. You can avoid teaching young horses to travel in this position, and you can retrain older horses out of the habit. If there are no gross physical reasons for a horse to travel upside down, you can help turn him right-side up. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AN UP SIDE DOWN HORSE? High Head: An upside down horse is usually one that carries a high head. This may not be a problem if he is ridden only in smooth riding arenas. However, it is a problem if you try to ride him out on the trail over rough ground, through brush, or up and down steep banks. With his head stuck up in the air like a peacock, he can't focus on where he is going.

  • Pat Parelli Combines En
    (7) ‘, :` (b• i 4e. Pat Parelli combines `e:,(‘% centuries-old horse training c.''.eN c`b' -.• Sei N' techniques with modern ' 11' ei concepts of behavioral science. C').Q A New Look at Old Methods Part ONE of Three Parts By ROBERT M. MILLER, D.V.M. PAT PARELLI looks and sounds like two diffe- rent people. What you see is a lean, tall, tobacco- chewing cowboy. And, he is that. The 28-year-old Californian is an all-around hand who has done very well in rodeo competition, both intercollegiate and PRCA, especially in the bareback bronc riding event. What you hear is an articulate, energetic man who sounds like a college professor. His speech, when he talks about training horses, is sprinkled with terms like "bonding," "positive reinforcement," "con- ditioned response," and "transitional process." What amazes me is how much understanding of the mind of the horse Pat has accumulated so early in his life. I'm twice his age, and after working with horses all of my adult life, I feel that I am just beginning to understand the art of equine communication. (See my series on "Horse Psychology," Western Horseman, January, February, and March 1979.) It is pure pleasure to watch Parelli start a green colt and see the consistent and intricate responses he can elicit in a couple of hours, and witness the smoothness and relaxation with which his started horses work. In this introductory article Pm going to tell you about the man and his philosophy. Next month, I'll describe how those principles are used in his training techniques.

  • Anrc National Equitation Championships Rules and Specifications
    ANRC NATIONAL EQUITATION CHAMPIONSHIPS RULES AND SPECIFICATIONS Revised August 2019 Overview: The ANRC National Equitation Championships are an invitational competition for collegiate, junior, adult amateur, and ANRC alumni teams that pay an annual ANRC team membership fee. There is no need to qualify. Everyone is welcome to join us in 2020. Membership opens September 1, 2019. The ANRC National Equitation Championships are traditionally held on the second or third week in April. The championship for each group is held on the same weekend and judged separately. In each championship, teams may compete in a 3′ National Division or a 2’6 Novice Division. Participants may compete on a school-owned horse, a leased horse, or a privately-owned horse. The competition is judged and scored on equitation skills and sound horsemanship practices. The highest score in each phase will be awarded to the rider who demonstrates excellence in equitation and produces a smooth, cooperative performance exemplifying quality hunter movement both on the flat and over fences. The scores are added to produce an both individual and team standings. The four phases are described below: • Written test based on riding theory and a selected stable management topic worth 5% of the total score • Flat Phase (includes USEF Hunter Equitation Tests) worth 35% of the total score • Equitation Derby Course (natural jumps in a field) worth 30% of the total score • Hunter Seat Medal Course worth 30% of the total score Teams: A college or high school/organization that pays a team membership fee may field one team in each division. Each team can have a minimum of two riders or a maximum of three riders.

I could see a very different world than the high desert of extreme cold and heat and severe sun where I had been. In this new place the air seemed softer and full of interesting odors. There were other horses curious about my arrival. I could hear them neighing and prancing. When I backed out of the big four-horse trailer, I saw lots of flowers lining the arena. They looked delicious. The orange trees around the arena were short enough that I could easily reach the sweet fruit. The huge oak trees were circled with more pretty flowers. And flowers were also by the trees that lined the property. The many trees cast shade everywhere, which is very important to me 9 because I am a cremello colored stallion with sensitive pink skin. I thought, how nice, I wont have to wear that ridiculous fly mask.

BY JOHNSTON & COATES, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PKINTED BY Jos. "WiNTERBUBN & COMPANY, 417 Clay Street, San Francisco, Cal. PREFACE I believe that it may be asserted, without fear of con- tradiction, that no book has yet been published in the English or any other language, which even professes to give a complete description of breeding, breaking, train- ing and educating the Trotting Horse in a form and style suited to the country gentlemen of the nineteenth cen- tury. It is true that some of these departments are described, but very imperfectly, in separate works; but they are generally written in technical language, suited rather for the professional student than for the use and comprehension of the ordinary reader. For these rea- sons the author of this work has thought that a book combining the above subjects, and confined strictly to those subjects, treated in a practical manner, and in a style popularly intelligible, would supply a deficiency which has long been complained of by all who are in- terested in the proper production and management of the Trotting Horse.

  • TIMING and RATE of SKELETAL MATURATION in HORSES, with Comments on Starting Young Horses and the State of the Industry
    TIMING AND RATE OF SKELETAL MATURATION IN HORSES, With Comments on Starting Young Horses and the State of the Industry ©2008 By Deb Bennett, Ph.D. Introduction One of the most widely-read and widely- requested pieces of information contained in our ESI Website has been the following article which we familiarly refer to as “the Ranger piece.” By 2008, with our permission this article has been re-printed in more than 75 magazines and riding-club newsletters in countries as far away as South Africa, Scotland, and New Zealand. Without our permission it has also been posted on about a gazillion websites and “boards”, and, I am sure – one way or another — read by many thousands of people. Originally posted on December 14th, 2001 as part of the old “conformation analysis” section of our website, it was taken off line in January of 2004 with the restructuring of the site. It ran from 2005 to mid-2008 in the “Knowledge Base” section of our upgraded website, and a newly-revised version, which for the first time includes data tables and a Fig. 1.

We continue to post this article in the belief that you might appreciate having a downloadable copy, so as to more readily be able to share it with friends and neighbors whom you think might want or need to see it. Of particular relevance are recent conversations I have had with breeders, owners, the officials of several different humane organizations, news reporters, veterinarians, and numerous members of the general public who have been concerned over the well-publicized deaths of such racehorses as Ruffian, Barbaro, and Eight Belles.

  • Longe Line Training Melvin Bradley, Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture and Sam Sabin, New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
    u M GUIDE - C P116/islted 611 tlte lb1iversit11 of )lisso11ri - eu/111116i11 £Kte11sio111Jivisio11 Longe Line Training Melvin Bradley, Department of Animal Husbandry, College of Agriculture and Sam Sabin, New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Longeing is a procedure in which the horse travels in a large circle around the handler on a long strap or line. It is useful in training young horses and in exercising others. Longeing affords the horse an opportunity to improve balance and develop stride and action. It is also a good way to reduce energy in overactive horses before they are ridden. Longeing can be started after weaning, but be careful not to let a young horse hurt himself by being jerked off-balance on a longe line. Equipment Needed You will need a halter (or longeing cavesson), whip, longe line, and halter shank. The cavesson has various places that the longe line can be attached. It is well padded for protection over the nose and under the chin. Longeing cavessons may be expensive, but cost can be justified when they can be used on several horses. - If you have only a few horses, you may use a good fitting halter to which the longe line can be attached on either side. Use web or nylon longe lines as they are lighter and stronger than rope and leather lines. A longeing cavesson has various places to which the Ionge line can be attached. It is well padded for protection over the nose and under the Preliminary Preparation chin. Before horses are longed they should be taught to lead from either side, and to stop, stand, and back.

The breaking and training of colts is of prime importance, because their future value and usefulness depends to a great extent on whether or not they are well broken. By a broken colt is meant one that is safe to handle in the stable or on the road and that will promptly obey the orders of the driver or rider. Memory and habit are the two main factors with which we have to deal in training horses. A horse acts through instinct and habit, and one of its greatest characteristics is uniformity of conduct. What a horse is once trained to do he will nearly always do under like conditions. The first thing in training a horse is to get his attention. The second is to make him understand what is wanted. The education of the horse is based on reward and punishment. The reward, a pat on the neck, etc., should immediately follow the act of obedience. The punishment, to be effective, must immediately follow the act of disobedience. Few horses are inherently vicious. Many horses are made vicious and unreliable by the carelessness or unnecessary brutality of their trainers. If a horse kicks because the harness hurts him, or shies at something of which he is afraid, punishment is not justifiable.
