Pre-Ride Checklist with BONUS Pre-Show Checklist Pre-Ride Checklist with BONUS Pre-Show Checklist Pre-Ride Checklist: Why? A few simple checks BEFORE you ride can protect your horse from injury and save your time and money. A well-used pre-ride checklist will minimize the chance of an accident to horse and rider and maximize your valuable lesson time (= $$). When you and your horse are ready to ride, physically and mentally, in safe and quality tack, before your lesson starts, you don’t waste your, your trainer and your horse’s time/energy. You don’t waste your money as your lesson ticks away while you are looking for your spurs while the rest of the group just jumped the big oxer in the outdoor arena. At Swan Training we recommend a simple yes/no checklist modeled on the USPC inspection list with a few of our own values added. We hope you print it, keep in your tack trunk, and use it before every ride. Pre Ride Checklist YES NO NOTES RIDER Safe, neat & clean attire Appropriate attire for the event Boots in good repair, appropriately clean Spurs (if used) put on properly; polished HORSE (the rider preforms the horse pre- checks before mounting, regardless of who was responsible for preparing the horse) Well groomed, reflecting regular care; no sweat marks or dirt; healthy coat Mane and tail clean and tangle-free Sheath/udder showing regular care Feet well-trimmed and/or shod Feet picked out Eyes, nose, lips, dock clean TACK Safe, clean, supple, reflecting regular care Properly adjusted All stress points clean No cracked leather Metal clean & polished No residue in holes or lacings Saddle pad clean & brushed Tighten girth before and after mounting SPORTSMANSHIP Mentally ready to ride Ready to work in sportsmen-like manner with trainers and barn mates Physically prepared to work PRE-RIDE CHECKLIST (EQUI SUPERMARKET 2017) 1. Check Your Horse for Lameness Look at your horse as you leading them to the tacking up area. Look carefully for stiff or clipped steps, a bobbing head and any signs of soreness. If you suspect that any symptoms are the result of stiff muscles, allow your horse to warm up gently and then check them again. If in doubt, don’t ride! 2. Inspect Your Horse’s Skin and Coat While grooming, check your horse’s back for rain scald, hives, sunburn or other skin irritations that might make your horse uncomfortable if you sit it on him. Do a quick scan for cuts and other lesions that might need your attention. 3. Check Hooves Before each and every ride, clean out and check your horse’s hooves. Pull out any debris and foreign objects such as stones or pine cones are very uncomfortable to walk on. If your horse is shod, check all of his shoes and ensure that they are not loose. As part of this check, look for any signs of trouble in your horse’s legs. 4. Inspect Your Tack Look for frayed stitching, cracked leather, cracked bits, buckles or other metal fittings, weakened saddle billet straps and girth straps. Billet straps and girth straps are particularly prone to wear and so should be checked for tears, cracks, thinning or ripped buckle holes. Broken tack is a safety hazard so this is one check that you should never overlook. 5. Wear Your Helmet If your helmet is very comfortable, it is easy to forget that you are wearing it and equally easy to set off without it! Establish that you are wearing your helmet and then make sure that it is properly adjust and fastened. 6. Tighten Your Girth Your final check should be the girth. Before attempting to mount, check that the girth is sufficiently tight otherwise the saddle could turn and you will end up on the floor. Check the girth again after a few minutes of riding as some horses tend to expand a little when a saddle is first put on. Another value checklist for equine competitors, horse and human, is a Pre-Show Checklist and WOW is it ever a long list. The example below, from May 2005 Horse & Rider, clearly illustrates just how much ‘stuff’ it takes to get even one horse and rider ready for the show ring.

    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.

  • Horse Show Etiquette & Checklist
    HORSE SHOW ETIQUETTE & CHECKLIST Good Etiquette for Horse Shows for Rider and Parent As a parent or supporter of a rider, you only want what's best for your child. After a great deal of practice and preparation, your rider is ready to show his or her skills in the competition arena. And there are things you can do to help. By following a few "etiquette" suggestions, you can make sure that your rider's horse show is an enjoyable and rewarding experience for everyone involved. During Show Preparations The coach or trainer's job is to help the rider perform her best. So, don't interfere when she/he is giving instructions before your child or rider goes into the show arena (unless it is absolutely 100 percent necessary, and if you do choose to do so, be sure to do it in a tactful way). You have hired a coach or trainer for a reason. Stand back and let him do his job. You'll be impressed. If the competition requires some sort of pattern or sequence of events, ask the rider to repeat the pattern back to you once. Have the pattern on a piece of paper handy in case the rider suddenly draws a blank. If this happens (not uncommon!), you will be a "super-parent or supporter of the show"! Do not drill the rider over and over again until you agitate them to the point that they lose their memory! Help the rider brush up right before entering the arena by checking for untucked shirts, loose hair-ties, crooked hats, uneven reins and the like.

  • Saddlery Inspections
    Saddlery Inspections Rules and Procedures for Ring Stewards to conduct Saddlery Inspections in Dressage classes at USEF/USDF competitions April 2020 1 Saddlery Inspections Competition management must appoint a sufficient number of ring stewards to carry out the following duties: Communicate with the warmup steward and announcer, so that competitors can be kept informed as to who is “on deck” and whether the ring is running on time. Check saddlery and equipment, and the horse, after the specified number of rides. Inform judges of any delays or other concerns. Radio for help for ring repairs or emergencies, as directed according to the Accident Preparedness Plan. Depending on the layout, number of rings and other factors, more than one ring steward may be appointed to share these duties. 2 Saddlery Inspections Ring stewards must check saddlery and inspect bits and spurs on both sides of the horse for at least one- third of the horses in each class. In some classes, inspection is required for each horse. Inspection of saddlery and bits should be done at the direction of the Technical Delegate. 3 Saddlery Inspections Management must provide (preferably latex free) disposable protective gloves, at least two per horse. (Two gloves are required, one on each hand, for both USEF and FEI competitions.) The rider should see the inspector put on fresh gloves when the horse is exiting the arena. Inspection is done immediately after the performance ride. At no time should the horse, spurs or other equipment be touched with an “ungloved” hand, as the glove provides protection against the spread of disease.
