Official Handbook of Rules and Regulations
OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF RULES AND REGULATIONS 2021 | 69th EDITION AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE An American Quarter Horse possesses acceptable pedigree, color and mark- ings, and has been issued a registration certificate by the American Quarter Horse Association. This horse has been bred and developed to have a kind and willing disposition, well-balanced conformation and agile speed. The American Quarter Horse is the world’s most versatile breed and is suited for a variety of purposes - from working cattle on ranches to international reining competition. There is an American Quarter Horse for every purpose. AQHA MISSION STATEMENT • To record and preserve the pedigrees of the American Quarter Horse, while maintaining the integrity of the breed and welfare of its horses. • To provide beneficial services for its members that enhance and encourage American Quarter Horse ownership and participation. • To develop diverse educational programs, material and curriculum that will position AQHA as the leading resource organization in the equine industry. • To generate growth of AQHA membership via the marketing, promo- tion, advertising and publicity of the American Quarter Horse. • To ensure the American Quarter Horse is treated humanely, with dignity, respect and compassion, at all times. FOREWORD The American Quarter Horse Association was organized in 1940 to collect, record and preserve the pedigrees of American Quarter Horses. AQHA also serves as an information center for its members and the general public on matters pertaining to shows, races and projects designed to improve the breed and aid the industry, including seeking beneficial legislation for its breeders and all horse owners. AQHA also works to promote horse owner- ship and to grow markets for American Quarter Horses. -
Norway and Its Marine Areas - a Brief Description of the Sea Floor
No.3 2003 IN FOCUS Norway and its marine areas - a brief description of the sea floor From the deep sea to the fjord floor Norwegian waters comprise widely differing environments - from the Bjørnøyrenna deep sea via the continental slope and continental shelf to the coastal zone with its strandflat, archipelagos and fjords.This constitutes a geologi- cal diversity that is unique in a European context. An exciting geological history lies Trænadjupet behind this diversity - a development that has taken place over more than 400 million years.The continents con- Vøringplatået sist of plates of solidified rock that float on partially molten rock, and these plates move relative to one another.Where they collide, the Earth's crust is folded and mountain chains are created.Where they drift apart, deep oceans form and new sea Storegga floor is created along rifts because molten rock (magma) streams up from below. A good example is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, including Iceland, a which is a result of Greenland and n n e Europe drifting from each other at a r e rate of about 2 cm a year. k s r o The plates on which Norway and N Greenland rest collided more than 400 million years ago and formed mountain chains on either side of a Skagerrak shallow sea. Both Greenland and Norway are remnants of worn down mountain chains.

List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below. -
How, What and Why to Do Things with Your American Saddlebred. Part 1
1/1/2011 UNITED HOW, WHAT AND WHY TO DO THINGS WITH SADDLEBRED YOUR AMERICAN SADDLEBRED. PART 2. ASSOCIATION Braiding Manes & Wrapping Tails | Lynn Jarvis HOW TO … TRIM AND BRAID THE BRIDLE PATH The first question to answer is why do we trim and braid our Saddlebreds? Nowhere in the rule book (any rule book) will you read that your horse MUST be trimmed and braided, however some rule books will have rules AGAINST trimming and braiding – so read them carefully. (For example you cannot show your hunter or western horse with braids). Back in the depths of history, Saddlebreds were shown with their forelocks and the first part of their manes plaited (and left down, not rolled like we do with our riding horses and hunters). The purpose of this was simply to keep their hair from interfering with the double bridle. This subsequently developed into the bridle path being trimmed to make it easier to get the bridle on and off. As shows developed there was a natural competition between horse owners, who soon found ways to adorn their “peacocks of the show ring” – and mane and forelock braiding were introduced. Any colour is acceptable and traditionally reds and maroons dominate in the American show ring. In Australia they have a registry system where barns register their barn colours – and these are the colours their Saddlebreds show under – presumably other barns are not allowed to use their competitors’ colours. There are different ways of trimming the bridle path of the American Saddlebred Horse – one involves leaving the forelock alone, the other involves thinning the forelock (by trimming the sides off) or removing it completely. -

THE LIBERATION of OSLO and COPENHAGEN: a MIDSHIPMAN's MEMOIR C.B. Koester
THE LIBERATION OF OSLO AND COPENHAGEN: A MIDSHIPMAN'S MEMOIR C.B. Koester Introduction I joined HMS Devonshire, a County-class cruiser in the Home Fleet, on 16 September 1944. For the next nine months we operated out of Scapa Flow, the naval base in the Orkneys north of Scotland which had been home to Jellicoe's Grand Fleet during World War I and harboured the main units of the Home Fleet throughout the second conflict. It was a bleak, uninviting collection of seventy-three islands—at low water—twenty-nine of them inhabited, mainly by fishermen and shepherds. Winters were generally miserable and the opportunities for recreation ashore limited. There was boat-pulling and sailing, weather permitting; an occasional game of field hockey on the naval sports ground; and perhaps a Saturday afternoon concert in the fleet canteen or a "tea dance" at the Wrennery. Otherwise, we entertained ourselves aboard: singsongs in the Gunroom; a Sunday night film in the Wardroom; deck hockey in the Dog Watches; and endless games of "liar's dice." Our operations at sea were more harrowing, but only marginally more exciting, consisting mainly of attacks on German shore installations on the Norwegian coast. We rarely saw the coastline, however, for the strikes were carried out by aircraft flying from the escort carriers in the task force. At the same time, we had to be prepared for whatever counterattack the Germans might mount, and until Tirpitz was finally disabled on 12 November 1944, such a riposte might have been severe. That and the ever-present threat of submarines notwithstanding, for most of us these operations involved a large measure of boredom and discomfort. -

In contrast to a traditional TX 77204, USA. E-mail: [email protected] conceptual model of glacial sediment distribution in fjords, grain size in Flandres Bay generally coarsens from the inner to outer bay. The smallest grain size sediments were found in the bay head and are interpreted as fine-grained deposits resulting from meltwater plumes and sediment gravity flows occurring close to the glacier front. The middle of the bay is characterized by a high silt percentage, which correlates to diatom-rich sediments. Sediments in the outer bay have a high component of coarse material, which is interpreted as being the result of winnowing from currents moving from the Bellingshausen Sea into the Gerlache Strait. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of glacial environ- ments often use grain size as an indicator of proximity to the ice margin. -
Glaciotectonic Structure and Genesis of the Herdla Moraines, Western Norway
Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway JAMES S. ABER & INGE AARSETH Aber, J. S. & Aarseth, 1.: Glaciotectonic structure and genesis of the Herdla Moraines, western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 68, pp. 99-106. Oslo 1988. ISSN 0029-196X. At its type locality, glaciomarine sediment of the Herdla Moraines was deformed and consolidated by overriding ice. Two phases of moraine development took place in conjunction with ice movement coming first from the east-northeast and later from the southeast. The early phase is related to development of a local ice dome on Stølsheimen during the middle Younger Dryas (about 10,500 BP), when the ice sheet reached its late glacial maximum thickness in the region. The ice sheet then thinned rapidly, due to climatic amelioration and increased calving, and shifted to southeasterly movement at Herdla. Most glaciotectonic disturbance and consolidation of sediment at Herdla happened during this late phase, perhaps as a result of a glacier surge along Herdlafjord. The glaciotectonic structures at Herdla are local in character and cannot be used for regional correlation of glacial advances in western Norway. J. S. Aber, Earth Science Department, Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas, 66801, USA; l. Aarseth, Universitetet i Bergen, Geologisk Institutt, Avd. B. A/legt, 41. N-5007 Bergen, Norway. Y ounger Dry as moraines of western Norway Aarseth & Mangerud (1974) defined the Herdla Moraines as a morphostratigraphic unit with a type locality at Herdla island (Fig. 1). Sediments of the Herdla Moraines are part of a conspicuous system of ice marginal deposits of Younger Dryas age (10,000-11,000 BP) that has been mapped around the periphery of southern and western Norway (Mangerud et al. -

Prior to the War of 1812, an Indian runner was dispatched with a war belt of wampum with a request for the Dakotas and Chippewas to meet at the big bend of the Wisconsin River (Portage). While camped on the banks of the Lemonweir, the runner dreamed that he had lost his belt of wampum at his last sleeping place. On waking in the morning, he found his dream to be a reality and he hastened back to retrieve the belt. During the 1820's, the French-Canadian fur traders called the river, La memoire - the memory. The Lemonweir rises in the extensive swamps and marshes in Monroe County.
