    Riikka-Liisa Räbinä BENCHMARKING FINNISH AND IRISH EQUESTRIAN TOURISM Thesis Kajaani University of Applied Sciences School of Tourism Tourism Spring 2010 THESIS ABSTRACT School Degree Programme School of Tourism Tourism Author(s) Riikka-Liisa Räbinä Title Benchmarking Finnish and Irish Equestrian Tourism Optionalvaihtoehtiset Professional Studies Supervisor(s) Anneli Karppinen Commissioned by Date Total Number of Pages and Appendices Spring 2010 47 The purpose of this thesis was to benchmark Finnish and Irish equestrian tourism. One of the goals was also to examine the current status of equestrian tourism in Finland, as well as the use of the Finn- horse in equestrian tourism services. Improvement suggestions were created based on research about Irish equestrian tourism as well as the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse. There was no commissioner for the thesis. The topic arose from personal interest in equestrian tourism and the growing importance of the Finnhorse as part of the industry. The first part of the thesis comprises the theoretical background. It includes different aspects of eques- trian tourism in Finland and in Ireland. The current status of equestrian tourism in Finland and the safety guidelines created by the Finnish Consumer Agency are discussed in detail. The history, current status, and different usages of the Finnhorse are discussed. Also the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse as Irish horse breeds are elaborated. The second part is the empirical part. It gives suggestions for improving equestrian tourism in Finland and increasing the use of the Finnhorse in tourism related services. The suggestions are based on strat- egies and actions implemented by different organizations in Ireland.

  • User's Manual
    USER’S MANUAL The Bitless Bridle, Inc. email: [email protected] Phone: 719-576-4786 5220 Barrett Rd. Fax: 719-576-9119 Colorado Springs, Co. 80926 Toll free: 877-942-4277 IMPORTANT: Read the fitting instructions on pages four and five before using. Improper fitting can result in less effective control. AVOIDANCE OF ACCIDENTS Nevertheless, equitation is an inherently risky activity and The Bitless Bridle, Inc., can accept no responsibility for any accidents that might occur. CAUTION Observe the following during first time use: When first introduced to the Bitless Bridle™, it sometimes revives a horse’s spirits with a feeling of “free at last”. Such a display of exuberance will eventually pass, but be prepared for the possibility even though it occurs in less than 1% of horses. Begin in a covered school or a small paddock rather than an open area. Consider preliminary longeing or a short workout in the horse’s normal tack. These and other strategies familiar to horse people can be used to reduce the small risk of boisterous behavior. APPLICATION The action of this bridle differs fundamentally from all other bitless bridles (the hackamores, bosals, and sidepulls). By means of a simple but subtle system of two loops, one over the poll and one over the nose, the bridle embraces the whole of the head. It can be thought of as providing the rider with a benevolent headlock on the horse (See illustration below) . Unlike the bit method of control, the Bitless Bridle is compatible with the physiological needs of the horse at excercise.

  • The Vaquera Saddle with White Ornamentation, Where the Leather Is Tooled to Show a White Background
    Viva Iberica Webshop Yeguada Iberica main site THE TRADITIONAL VAQUERA SADDLE Sometimes called a Vaquero saddle History The silla vaquera, or vaquera saddl is the everyday saddle used today and for past centuries by the Spanish Vaquero, probably the original cowboy, working in the fields and mountains of Spain. Vaquera saddles are also used for vaquero competition – or Doma Vaquera (translated as vaquero horse training, or dressage) - as well as when testing the fighting bulls and cows (Acoso y Derribo) and in the Ferias of Spain and of course for every day country riding. The vaquera or vaquero saddle is both comfortable for the rider and the horse, designed for many hours use every day and it has a large comfortable contact area over the horse’s back - a much greater contact area than the modern general purpose, dressage or jumping saddle. Traditionally vaquera saddles are covered in a sheepskin which is held in place by leather thongs, which may also be used for tying equipment to the saddle, or for emergency tack repairs when working out on the range. Illustrated is an everyday plain Vaquera Lisa saddle. The traditional vaquera or vaquero saddle tended to be heavy (and would be used with the relatively heavy steel ‘bucket’ stirrup) and were traditionally stuffed with rye straw and the panels filled with animal hair. Over time these could mould to the shape of the horse’s back. This design is still available today. Saddle development Utilising modern technology and development some manufacturers in Spain now produce vaquera saddles made to the traditional design and style but incorporating modern high-tech materials.

  • Horse Racing Tack for the Hivewire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings
    Horse Racing Tack for the HiveWire (HW3D) Horse by Ken Gilliland Horse Racing, the Sport of Kings Horse racing is a sport that has a long history, dating as far back as ancient Babylon, Syria, and Egypt. Events in the first Greek Olympics included chariot and mounted horse racing and in ancient Rome, both of these forms of horse racing were major industries. As Thoroughbred racing developed as a sport, it became popular with aristocrats and royalty and as a result achieved the title "Sport of Kings." Today's horse racing is enjoyed throughout the world and uses several breeds of horses including Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses in the major race track circuit, and Arabians, Paints, Mustangs and Appaloosas on the County Fair circuit. There are four types of horse racing; Flat Track racing, Jump/Steeplechase racing, Endurance racing and Harness racing. “Racehorse Tack” is designed for the most common and popular type of horse racing, Flat Track. Tracks are typically oval in shape and are level. There are exceptions to this; in Great Britain and Ireland there are considerable variations in shape and levelness, and at Santa Anita (in California), there is the famous hillside turf course. Race track surfaces can vary as well with turf being the most common type in Europe and dirt more common in North America and Asia. Newer synthetic surfaces, such as Polytrack or Tapeta, are also seen at some tracks. Individual flat races are run over distances ranging from 440 yards (400 m) up to two and a half miles, with distances between five and twelve furlongs being most common.

  • Safety When Hitching and Unhitching NEVER Try to Put a Bridle on A
    At all DDC events, Whips/Drivers shall adhere to the following Code of Conduct when it comes to Safety! Why are we emphasizing this? Unsafe practices endanger everyone (not just you and your equines). Please take a minute and read the following carefully. If you have any question about the following Code of Conduct, please ask any DDC BOD member Safety when hitching and unhitching NEVER try to put a bridle on a horse when away from his home stable without first securing him with a rope around his neck. NEVER start to hitch the horse to the vehicle without having the reins fastened to the bridle. NEVER try to back a horse between shafts lying on the ground. NEVER leave the ends of the reins unbuckled in case one should be dropped when you are getting into the carriage or while driving. NEVER take the bridle off while the horse is still attached to the vehicle-not even when he has a halter under the bridle. NEVER leave a nervous horse tied to the side of a trailer.20 NEVER start to unhitch a horse in unfamiliar surrounding without a capable person at his head. NEVER allow anyone to sit in the carriage before the driver has taken his/her place. NEVER when you are the driver, leave the carriage before all the passengers have gotten out. NEVER leave a horse alone while hitched to the carriage. Safety for drivers ALWAYS signal to other traffic before stopping or turning.
