Safety & Comfort Gear Checking Manual
PONY CLUB ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA INC GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFETY & COMFORT OF THE RIDER AND HORSE INCORPORATING THE GEAR CHECKING MANUAL January 2020 2 PCASA GEAR CHECKING MANUAL January 2020 PCASA GEAR CHECKING MANUAL January 2020 3 * * REMEMBER * * RIDERS NEED TO BE SAFE TO RIDE In order to RIDE SAFELY 4 PCASA GEAR CHECKING MANUAL January 2020 FOREWARD by DR WARWICK VALE BSc BVMS (Hons II) FEI Veterinary Delegate Honorary Veterinary Advisor to the PCAWA (Past Pony Club Member) Any Equestrian organisation that aims to produce a comprehensive instructional manual or handbook that offers its sport a template for improvement and development, must inevitably draw on all its resources and energy reserves. Manuals like these are essential tools in the training of officials in sports and also meet the mandatory requirements of good sport governance and risk management. There are many difficulties faced in conducting such a project and these stem from a number of areas. The successful integration of acquired wisdom, horsemanship and history with the elements of newer technologies/equipment, advances in equitation, more progressive coaching practices and better horse management is no easy task. The distillation of long practiced procedures and commonly held belief systems into a formalised and substantiated document presents a unique challenge. The presentation of such complex sporting technical matters into readable material that is also an applicable educational resource for equestrian people of all types, both young and inexperienced through to those that are older and wiser is also a difficult goal to achieve. The areas of safety, risk, injury, welfare and insurance all directly influence the governance and management of sports in these times, now more so than ever. -

But it appears they were invented sometime in the Middle Ages to protect the hooves of horses used by soldiers to travel over rough terrain, as often the hooves were compromised when horses were kept in stables standing in their own waste. In this day and age most owners continue to keep their horses shod. After all, this has always been customary — can you remember back to a time otherwise? Why do people shoe their horses? The answer is always the same: most horse owners assume that their horse’s hooves are too weak and too sensitive to go unshod.

The horse used in this project may be used in another project, and should be at least four years old and evaluated at the Spring Horse Clinic or have waiver from 4-H Club Leader. Participation Requirements: First year trail riding members and first year trail project horses must be evaluated at the Spring Horse Clinic for safety and appropriate fit of saddle and tack. Horse Project 4-H leaders may waive the mandatory clinic if they are familiar with the 4-H student and horse. The Trail Ride Project is to include four (4) rides with two or more people (not necessarily 4-H members) for a total of eight (8) miles on public land leaving from a trailhead on a designated trail. Members are to include a recording of location, terrain, obstacles encountered, and how they were overcome, etc. All members are required, regardless of their experience level, to participate in a minimum of two (2) 4-H Horse Leader led trail rides in order to participate in the Fair Judged Trail Project Ride Competition. If riding two animals, you must attend two (2) trail rides with each project animal. The member should learn about the training and conditioning of a trail horse as well. In order to receive a ribbon rating or be eligible for other Trail Ride Project awards, the rider must complete all required rides before the Fair Trail Ride. -

Middle California Region USPC Preparing For Your HB Test Types and Functions of Bits For the HB test, The USPC HB Standard requires that the candidate: Identify and discuss the three basic bit categories: snaffle, pelham and curb Some questions to consider for the HB test: Why might a rider choose to use a pelham over a snaffle? What are pressure points? What kind of action does a snaffle apply? Can you identify different material that bits are made of? What the difference is between a solid and hollow mouthpiece? Can you identify which bit is more severe? Can you explain if a twisted mouth piece is gentle or severe? In general the thinner and/or the heavier (solid) the mouthpiece, the sharper the action. the wider and lighter (hollow) the mouthpiece; the more gentle the action. the conformation of a horse's mouth (structure of jaw & palate, size and strength of tongue, depth or space between upper and lower jaws when mouth is closed), degree or curvature or the mouthpiece, the quality of construction and smoothness of the bit, and the rider's rein aids are the ultimate determinants of the mildness or severity or a bit. The mouthpieces of bits can be straight mullen (slightly curved) twisted ported (arched in the center) solid round hollow square single-jointed triangular double-jointed 1 Materials used include: Rubber: soft and gentle to the mouth. It should have a nylon strap, not a metal chain running through the center of the bit. Vulcanite: a hardened rubber often used in mullen mouth bits that is gentle on the mouth. -

If a double bridle is used, its use and fitting must be approved by the Regional Coach or Regional Equine Advisor. All reins must be attached to a bit or a head collar, if being led from a coupling that is attached to the bit. When a coupling is used, it must be correctly and safely fitted to the bit and short enough so that it doesn’t move up and over the horse’s chin. Couplings should be fitted below a rider’s rein to prevent interference. Couplings must be removed when ridden off the lead rein. When using head collars under a bridle, the noseband of the bridle must be removed. -
