4-H Guide to Training a Horse for Trail Class
4-H GUIDE TO TRAINING A HORSE FOR TRAIL CLASS By: Ralph Green Horse Project Leader El Dorado Boosters 4-H Club I have been observing 4-H members and their horses for some six years now. I have noticed during this time that both the 4-H members and their horses have aged, however, areas for improvement remain. One of the classes at the horse shows that 4-H members have a hard time with is the trail class. In fact, the trail course is the easiest of any of the riding classes. By preparing this document, I hope that you will find tips and information valuable to you. The horse and rider needs to only be able to do six things: Move forward Move backwards Move to either side (side pass) Stop Change leads Pass over or through several obstacles I have not personally known any 4-H member who has won a lottery and has money to purchase a trained trail horse, hire a professional trainer or have money to construct a lot of training aids. Therefore, the 4-H member must work with what he or she has. The purpose of this article is to help you not only train your horse but also yourself. It is important to remember that it will take time and effort to train. Many 4-H members feel that if they get their horse to cross an obstacle once that the horse is trained. Remember, you didn't learn to read in one day or your sport team doesn't train just once before playing a game.

Units and Conversions the Metric System Originates Back to the 1700S in France
Numeracy Introduction to Units and Conversions The metric system originates back to the 1700s in France. It is known as a decimal system because conversions between units are based on powers of ten. This is quite different to the Imperial system of units where every conversion has a unique value. A physical quantity is an attribute or property of a substance that can be expressed in a mathematical equation. A quantity, for example the amount of mass of a substance, is made up of a value and a unit. If a person has a mass of 72kg: the quantity being measured is Mass, the value of the measurement is 72 and the unit of measure is kilograms (kg). Another quantity is length (distance), for example the length of a piece of timber is 3.15m: the quantity being measured is length, the value of the measurement is 3.15 and the unit of measure is metres (m). A unit of measurement refers to a particular physical quantity. A metre describes length, a kilogram describes mass, a second describes time etc. A unit is defined and adopted by convention, in other words, everyone agrees that the unit will be a particular quantity. Historically, the metre was defined by the French Academy of Sciences as the length between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar at 0°C, which was designed to represent one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole through Paris. In 1983, the metre was redefined as the distance travelled by light 1 in free space in of a second.
