Send out on Lunge Send out on Lunge This will be your steering under saddle. Under saddle we want our horse to follow the bit pressure and move away from leg pressure. Because we can’t apply leg pressure on the ground we apply whip pressure. Follow your nose Pressure: Single rein bit pressure. Ask to go to the right you will be using the right rein Positioning: Asking your horse to turn right stand at its right hind. Ask: Follow the rein pressure around to the right Vocal: Turn Release: Release the bit pressure when they step around to the right to follow you. Resistance: Not really resistance but once they understand this exercise they will try and follow you rather than waiting for the ask. Work on your “stand” cue. Snatching the rein away from you in the other direction. If they do this your steering is broken!! This is how they will respond to the turning aid under saddle. Repeat for both reins. Remember to repeat 3 times and change the exercise. You are now getting quite a repertoire of exercises to choose from so spice it up! Finish on a positive note before your horses brain is no longer coping. Equestrian Movement In-Hand Bitting Exercise Book Page 1 Moving the shoulders In this exercise example we will be asking the shoulders to move to the right. You can reverse the direction by swapping the direction. Pressure: single rein bit pressure on the right rein. Whip pressure on the left shoulder. Positioning: Standing in front of their nose facing them, so that you can easily apply the bit pressure and the crop pressure. Ask: Follow the rein, no whip Release: Soften the rein pressure for the step Progression Follow the rein because of the whip. When you apply the rein pressure and they know which direction they are going gently use the whip on their shoulder so they associate the whip pressure with the bit pressure. Progression: Once they are comfortable with the whip pressure, ask from the whip first and then follow up with the rein cue. This will become your leg steering under saddle. Lunging Now your horse knows how to move its shoulders away from you, you can send them out onto a circle around you. Pressure: Flicky lead on the shoulder moves the shoulders out. Step into your horse as you send them out Flicky lead on the hind quarters drives them forward. Stand at a right angle to their flank for “Forward” Vocal: “out” for making the circle bigger “walk on” for more walk Release: Move to their hindquarters once they have moved out on the circle to maintain forward. Quiet the flicky lead once they are staying in walk Repeat your ask 3 times. Take a step back and invite them in Change sides. You may need to walk the circle with them at this stage as the ground work lead may be a bit small. Equestrian Movement In-Hand Bitting Exercise Book Page 2 .

  • Effortless. All Flat Shod Pleasure Entries Should Have Comfortable Gaits; Giving the Distinct Impression It Is an Agreeable Mount to Ride
    effortless. All Flat Shod Pleasure entries should have comfortable gaits; giving the distinct impression it is an agreeable mount to ride. The Flat Shod Pleasure horse should be effortless in their motion and for their rider. The Flat Shod Pleasure classes are to be judged on true pleasure qualities and the performance of the horse. Talent should be rewarded in this division. Neatness and appearance of the horse and exhibitor and conformation of the horse should be a consideration in final judging. All Flat Shod Pleasure entries must stand quietly in the lineup and back readily. The judge must walk the line-up in all flat shod classes and ask each entry to back individually. Any entry that leans back on its haunches and drags both front feet instead of picking them up individually to back must be heavily penalized. Also, the flat shod horse that refuses to back cannot be placed over a horse that does back in the final judging. If any horse that has been judged comes out of a class line up presenting a non-standard image (See Standards Chart), the judge(s) must report the class and entry number to SHOW and a letter of warning will be sent to the trainer. English flat shod pleasure entries must be ridden with a light/relaxed rein at all gaits. Western flat shod entries must be ridden on a loose rein at all gaits. Loose reins along with neck reining and a lower head set are the main factors differentiating the Western flat shod horse from the English flat shod horse.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Approved Tack and Equipment for British Dressage Competitions
    Approved tack and equipment for British Dressage competitions Eff ective from 17 June 2019 To be used with the corresponding rules in the Members’ Handbook This revised pictorial guide has been devised to be used alongside the British Dressage Members’ Handbook for clarification on permitted tack and equipment. British Dressage endeavours to mirror FEI Rules for permitted tack and equipment. Tack reviews are ongoing but, any additional permitted tack and equipment updates will only be issued twice yearly to coincide with the beginning of the summer and winter seasons (1 December and 18 June). At all BD Championships, there will be an appointed BD Steward(s) in attendance in all warm up arenas responsible for tack and equipment checking every competitor each time they compete. This will be a physical (not just visual) tack check, including nosebands. It’s the organisers’ responsibility to appoint stewards for this function and they must be BD or FEI qualified to the appropriate level, for further guidelines on the official tack check, please see rule 106 in the 2019 Members Handbook. For the complete guidelines on permitted tack and riding the test and penalties, please see section Section 1 of the Members’ Handbook. If the equipment that you are looking at are similar to those pictured, it’s permitted for use in BD competitions. If you have a query on any tack or equipment that you’re unsure about, please email a picture of the item to the Sports Operations Officer for clarification. NB: Please note that bridles without a throatlash will be permitted for use for national competitions, for international competitions please check FEI rules.

    Horses AGRICULTURAL MU Guide PUBLISHED BY MU EXTENSION, UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA muextension.missouri.edu Choosing, Assembling and Using Bridles Wayne Loch, Department of Animal Sciences Bridles are used to control horses and achieve desired performance. Although horses can be worked without them or with substitutes, a bridle with one or two bits can add extra finesse. The bridle allows you to communicate and control your mount. For it to work properly, you need to select the bridle carefully according to the needs of you and your horse as well as the type of performance you expect. It must also be assembled correctly. Although there are many styles of bridles, the procedures for assembling and using them are similar. The three basic parts of a bridle All bridles have three basic parts: bit, reins and headstall (Figure 1). The bit is the primary means of communication. The reins allow you to manipulate the bit and also serve as a secondary means of communica- tion. The headstall holds the bit in place and may apply Figure 1. A bridle consists of a bit, reins and headstall. pressure to the poll.

  • Evaluation of Whip Use and Prevalence in Elite and Non-Elite Show Jumpers
    26 07 2013: MEDIA RELEASE Evaluation of whip use and prevalence in elite and non-elite show jumpers Is there a correlation between whip use and results in show jumping? Recent research into whip use in flat racing has shown no positive association between the use of the whip and race placing, and studies have not seen faster times or better results when the whip was used more often. An outcome of these studies has resulted in updated rules of whip use for some countries. UK researchers have been searching for a possible similar link in the sport of show jumping. As is common with other equestrian sports and disciplines, whips are carried and used in competition by show jumpers at both the non-elite and elite levels. Results of a study from the UK showed non-elite show jumping riders more likely than elite show jumping riders to carry a whip, with a negative correlation shown between how much a whip was used during a show jumping round and the likelihood of achieving a clear round, i.e. when the whip was used, the horse was less likely to achieve a show jumping round with no faults. Catherine Watkins of Hartsbury College in Gloucester presented the results of the study at the 2013 International Society for Equitation Science (ISES) conference. 1 The researchers observed 229 non-elite and 229 elite show jumpers at affiliated UK show jumping competitions. They recorded whip carriage, whip use, and rein release i.e. did the rider put the reins into one hand when applying the whip, during whip use.
