Wham Orientation Package WHAM ORIENTATION PACKAGE copyright 2004 11416 Orcas Ave, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342 warhorsefoundation.com (818) 694-9277, Fax (818) 896-8310 Heritage Foundation www.warhorsefoundation.com Dear Fellow Horseman/Trooper/Volunteer, January 2005 Thank for you interest in being a participant/volunteer with the War Horse & Militaria Heritage Foundation (WHAM). Your support, time and dedication are greatly appreciated. Please take a few minutes to read the enclosed documentation, so that you better understand the goals of WHAM, safety, waivers, and standard operating procedures for the organization. WHAM is a 501-3c foundation under the National Heritage Foundation (NHF) with a miniscule budget that operates solely from donations and volunteers. WHAM is looking for angels and corporate sponsorship in order to survive and grow. Additional funding will allow the foundation to enhance its uniforms and improve the accuracy of it presentation of famous regiments. A larger budget will also help to cover the many operating expenses that make it possible for WHAM to attend more festivals and events. We survive solely on donations and all contributions are fully tax deductible. If you have any questions about WHAM, NHF or potential donors, please contact Fritz Bronner, Director of WHAM: (818) 694-9277, 11416 Orcas Ave Lake View Terrace, CA 91342. 11416 Orcas Ave, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342 warhorsefoundation.com (818) 694-9277, Fax (818) 896-8310 Goals & Overview: The primary goals of WHAM are to promote “equine spirit from the past”. This is accomplished by presenting famous cavalry regiments throughout history in musical rides, parades, festivals, endurance rides, battle reenactments, filming shoots, VIP events and other functions. We honor the role of the horse in military history by accurately portraying many regiments. Some of the regiments that we currently present are: American Colonial Dragoons 1777 Bavarian Chevauleger 1812 Scots Greys 2nd Dragoons 1815 British 17th Lancers 1879 British Queen’s Dragoons 1879 Boer War Yeomanry Cavalry 1900 German Kolonial Kavallerie Prussian Uhlans 1900 Bavarian Chevauleger 1900 Prussian Dragoons 1900 Bavarian WW1 Cavalry Currently under construction are: US Cavalry 1930 British Life Guards 1879 Prussian Kuirassier 1900 Indian Lancers Performing with our equine companions at WHAM events is fun, rewarding and promotes long lasting comradeship. Riding Philosophy: WHAM promotes a classic English/European style riding technique. This is to insure a military uniformity among all the riders in performance. Please understand that this is not a criticism of other riding styles. We are trying to demonstrate proper English riding and need to maintain this from a historical perspective. We tend to focus more on precision and equitation than just speed. 11416 Orcas Ave, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342 warhorsefoundation.com (818) 694-9277, Fax (818) 896-8310 Levels of involvement: Rider: WHAM is always looking for riders to join the various regiments and musical ride teams. Requirements: Participants must be experienced English riders (male or female) from small to medium-large build. (Our current uniform inventory limits us in size range; larger riders might need to acquire personal specific uniforms and or additional equipment). ALL RIDERS must be able to safely perform at all gaits and quickly learn cavalry maneuvers. Our current participants range in age from 10 to 70 years. (JUNIOR RIDERS (UNDER 18) MUST HAVE WRITTEN PARENTAL PERMISSION TO PARTICIPATE). Having your own horse is a plus. Participants who own horse trailers may be asked to assist with transporting horses to various events. Practices: You must be willing to attend mandatory practices so that the unit can safely and effectively perform the required maneuvers. Practices vary from 1 to 4 times a week. The main practice session usually takes place early, every Saturday morning in the Lake View Terrace Area – All participants must be available for this on an ongoing basis throughout the year. Additional sessions will be added as necessary before specific events. Extra Skills: Some riders will be asked to carry flags, lances or weapons, use of firearms, jump or ride side saddle, etc. This will require additional practices and time with horses. More advanced riders will also perform stage combat. Junior Riders: (less than 18 years of age) will be evaluated for their riding skills, maturity and responsibility. Their parents will understand that a disruptive rider is a potential safety hazard and can be asked to leave to leave the team. They will be required to learn safety procedures, English riding, some history of horses and cavalry as well as equine health and grooming. They will occasionally be reviewed or tested for their knowledge of horses, equipment, maneuvers and history. While this provides an invaluable education experience for the young participant, it is also a serious commitment. As part of the team, they will be relied upon by the group as a whole and must be capable of handling the responsibility of that magnitude. Promptness, preparedness, self-discipline and a “team-player” attitude are absolutely mandatory. Riders less than 18 years of age are required to have their parents sign a waiver of liability in order to participate. 11416 Orcas Ave, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342 warhorsefoundation.com (818) 694-9277, Fax (818) 896-8310 Volunteers: Your participation in WHAM is greatly appreciated even if you are not a rider. Whether you are a horse lover, history buff, friend or relative, we need extra hands! Volunteers provide invaluable assistance as ground crew helping with uniforms, equipment, horses, rider support, training, transportation, video and still photography and many other critical assistance positions. Often we have hats or uniforms for you to borrow, so that you are a participating member of the group and able to be with the riding team in secure areas behind scenes. We often have our non riders march in parades with the mounted unit in full uniforms. WHAM also participates in many historical battle events that offer tremendous opportunities for involvement by ground personnel. Horses: Allowing the use of your horse as a participant with WHAM will offer invaluable training and conditioning. Drill practices teach the horses to be well mannered and experience. They will be exposed to many different stimulus and challenges, including music, crowds, applause, flags, drums, trumpets and many other items. We have found that the horses that do participate regularly with WHAM enjoy the musical rides and company of other horses. Some horse owners have found this regimen very beneficial for their horses to having exercise and it also helps their state of mind. Horse candidates will be evaluated and continually observed by WHAM to see if they are suitable candidates as participants. WHAM considers several criteria, including, health, ability, training, temperament, attitude, breed, color, experience etc. Some horses may need more individual training before they can safely perform with other horses. Please be advised that some horses may not be best suitable. Horse owners will also need to sign a waiver of release. Team Spirit: The musical ride can best be described as a precision dance with horses. Each rider must partner not only with his or her horse, but with every other horse/rider team and the group as a whole during a program. This makes the musical ride among the most mentally challenging of equine events. Everyone must all work together in sync; monitoring spacing, speed, distance, awareness of other riders and most importantly safety. Learning new choreography can be challenging and occasionally frustrating, requiring patience and calm persistence from all concerned. A good positive attitude and an ability to understand the needs of the team as a whole is often the greatest value. 11416 Orcas Ave, Lake View Terrace, CA 91342 warhorsefoundation.com (818) 694-9277, Fax (818) 896-8310 Public Contact: Remember that as a member of WHAM, you will be in the public eye. You must enjoying speaking and sharing with the public, helping to teach others about horses, riding and history. You also need to vigilant for safety with the public nearby! Performances, especially in difficult conditions such as hot days in wool uniforms can be stressful. (Be sure to take electrolytes and drink plenty of fluids.) The public will approach members (and should be encouraged) wanting to take photographs, pet the horses, ask questions etc, you and your horse must accept and be prepared for these occurrences in advance. We are ambassadors who must remain friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and polite at all times in our dealings with the public. Please take down information and accept business cards, the person you are talking to could be a future donor or participant. If you have an issue or concern with a fellow participant/volunteer, please keep this discussion out of the public eye or ear. Try to resolve this in a civil manner in private. Costs: As a team, we share expenses and costs. Most events have entry fees which can vary greatly. Other expenses involved in performing can include: transportation/gas, insurance, dry cleaning of uniforms after events, class or clinic participation fees, incidental fees such as snacks and drinks that are brought for the use of WHAM members during an event. If other expenses arise in conjunction with a specific event they will also be fairly divided among the participants. In addition to parades, exhibitions, musical rides, battle reenactments etc., WHAM also participates in endurance rides, often in uniform. Each rider will be required to cover their own expenses at these events. A great deal of historical and cavalry equipment is provided by WHAM and needs to be properly maintained and cared for. Once items are issued to a rider or participant for and event, those items are the rider’s/participants’ responsibility. If any item is lost or seriously damaged, it is expected that the rider will replace the item.

  • Equestrian Helmet Standard – Final – February 29, 2016
    2016 STANDARD FOR PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR For Use in Horseback Riding Special Note to Helmet Users There are four reasons for you to be interested in this Standard: 1. Horseback riding imposes risks of death or permanent impairment due to head injury. 2. The proper use of protective helmets can minimize the risk of death or permanent impairment. 3. The protective capacity of a helmet is difficult to measure, particularly at the time of purchase or use. 4. Snell certification backed by ongoing random sample testing identifies those helmet models providing and maintaining the highest levels of head protection. There are at least four critical elements affecting a helmet's protective properties: 1. Impact management - how well the helmet protects against collisions with large objects. 2. Helmet positional stability - whether the helmet will be in place, on the head, when it's needed. 3. Retention system strength - whether the chinstraps are sufficiently strong to hold the helmet throughout an incident involving head impact. 4. Extent of Protection - the area of the head protected by the helmet. This Standard describes simple tests for all four of these items. However, the tests for the second item, helmet stability, of necessity presume that the helmet is well ``matched to the wearer's head and that it has been carefully adjusted to obtain the best fit possible. Unless Page 1 of 31 - Equestrian Helmet Standard – Final – February 29, 2016 you take similar care in the selection and fitting of your own helmet, you may not obtain the level of protection that current headgear can provide.

  • 79Th Auction of Hermann Historica Gmbh
    79th Auction of Hermann Historica GmbH Military careers spanning three millennia in the Spring Auction of the specialised auction house Munich, April 2019 – This year's large Spring Auction at Hermann Historica GmbH will take place in Munich from 20 to 24 May 2019. In addition to unequalled armour and helmets or sumptuous artefacts of royal and imperial provenance, the programme showcases superlative masterpieces of the finest craftsmanship among the approximately 3650 lots from all periods and regions. Antiquities From time immemorial, a military career has been a source of aspiration in every profession, with combat both an honour and a duty that engenders pride for ruler and citizens alike. Even in the ancient world, serving members of the armies enjoyed a high social standing. Accordingly, no effort was spared in protecting the highly trained warriors of antiquity and the early armourers dedicated their entire range of skills to creating helmets and breastplates with exquisite workmanship. Particular emphasis was placed on the elaborate helmets, which were designed not only to shield the wearer from the blows and thrusts of enemy swords and highlight his status, but also to clearly identify which unit he belonged to. The 79th Auction includes some extraordinary, even unsurpassed, rarities among the well preserved, early bronze helmets crafted by the highly skilled smiths of yesteryear. One such, a broad Chalcidian helmet dating from the early fourth century, is certain to ennoble a new collection by virtue of its full-faced tin plating and outstanding condition. The contoured ribs in repoussé on the apertures for the ears and eyes, the lancet-shaped nose guard, the cheek pieces and the horizontal neck guard identify this helmet as an exponent of a regional variation in the late Chalcidian helmets, which were forged in the northern Black Sea area.

An instrumented headform was designed and built to measure applied dynamic loads from a falling horse. Two differently weighted equine cadavers were then dropped repeatedly from a height of 1 m (theoretical impact velocity of 4.43 m/s) onto both the un-helmeted and helmeted instrumented headforms to collect primary force–time history data. The highest mean peak loads applied to the headform by the lighter horse were measured at the bony sacral impact location (15.57 kN 1.11 SD).

  • Examination of the Impact of Helmets on the Level of Transferred Loads to the Head Under Ballistic and Blast Loads

Abdelrahman Approved: 7/10/2015 Dr. Gary Smith Date Department Chair ABSTRACT The main causes of human Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) in war zones are ballistic impacts and blast waves. While understanding the mechanism of TBI and the brain injury thresholds are in urgent needs, efficiency of helmets as injury protective is not well-examined. To address these gaps, this study investigates the impact of ballistic helmets and padding systems on the biomechanical responses of the brain under dynamic ballistics and blasts loads. A nonlinear human head-neck finite element modeling procedure has been employed for the analysis. The results are examined against de-facto standard experimental data. The response of the finite element head model (FEHM) in terms of biomechanical parameters of the brain has been examined to measure the influence of padding system materials on the level of the loads transferred to the head.

  • Over 100 Years of Innovation and Style for a Safer World 2018 Helmet Range
    Over 100 years of innovation and style for a safer world 2018 Helmet Range Main Contents 02 Company history 03 Charles Owen was founded in 1911 for the purpose of manufacturing military helmets for the British Army. The company transitioned into the equestrian market 17 years later with racing helmets for jockeys and quickly established itself as the gold standard for safety. Charles Owen was involved in creating the very first equestrian helmet safety standard, and in 1983 the company created the first dual-standard riding helmet in answer to Pony Club’s demand for safer riding gear. One year later, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II awarded Charles Owen the Royal Warrant as protective headgear supplier to the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace. From the first patent granted in 1924 to improve ventilation and fit through the Microfit system found in all Charles Owen helmets today, the company has always prioritised correct and comfortable fit. Behind Charles Owen 04 Roy Burek brings more than 35 years of personal experience in the safety industry to his position as the Managing Director of Charles Owen. After receiving a chemistry degree from the University of Oxford (UK), Roy pursued a career in the corporate world before realizing that his true interest lay in making a difference in peoples’ lives. He returned to the company founded by his grandfather and has since done just that by making the world a safer place for equestrians. Since taking the reins, Roy has been dynamic in leading industry research and setting new standards for safety technology. Roy has been recognized by ASTM and the British Horse Society, and he has served on the European Standards Committee and co-chaired the task group that sets ASTM standards.
