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.

  • Read Book Through England on a Side-Saddle Ebook, Epub
    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.

  • Equipment Directions for Trotting Races in Sweden
    EQUIPMENT DIRECTIONS FOR TROTTING RACES IN SWEDEN Valid from January 18, 2018 These directions are issued by The Swedish Trotting Association. Contact: Svensk Travsport 161 89 Stockholm, Sweden. Phone: +46 8 627 21 20 E-mail: [email protected] 2 Table of content Introduction 4 Bridles and cheek pieces 5 Bits 8 Overcheck and overcheck bits 11 The harness 13 Protective gear 13 Additional equipment 14 Racing under saddle 16 The racing bike 18 The racing authorities in the Nordic countries – Denmark, Finland, Nor- way and Sweden – have jointly listed the pieces of equipment permitted for use during trotting races in these four countries. Equipment of new design has to be approved by Animal Welfare Depart- ment of The Swedish Trotting Association. No exceptions will be granted. 3 Introduction The Swedish legislation on animal welfare is among the world’s strictest. Obviously, this has implications for the trotting industry – not least when it comes to the equipment used during racing and training. Since the arrival of 2018, trainers using equipment prohibited by the racing regulations will face increasingly harsh consequences – ranging from heavy fines to exclusion of individual horses from participation in a specific race. The ultimate responsibility for the equipment of a horse always rests on the trainer. In order to prevent the risk for incidents causing trouble and frustration among visiting trainers, we have produced this brief manual on equipment. Below, you will find general guidelines for the design and adjustment of equipment used during racing and training. The following sections offer brief descriptions of equipment details that are permitted.

  • T Ypesof B Its
    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.

  • NE 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules
    New England 4-H Horse Show Bit Rules and Guidelines Basic guide to local, county, and state/regional 4-H Horse shows as well as for those classes in open shows limited to 4-H membership entry. This rules manual is for organizers, officials, exhibitors, parents and judges. Revised February 2020 These guidelines should be used in conjunction with the current New England 4-H Horse Show Rulebook. See rulebook for additional details involving bits and equipment for respective classes. Because the New England 4-H Horse Program is diverse in both its divisions and in the breeds that compete, it is difficult to generate a complete list of acceptable bits. Bits that are permitted by respective breed associations may be acceptable at the judge's discretion. A judge at his/her discretion can penalize a horse with non-conventional types of bits. Please understand that this supplement gives only examples of legal and u acceptable bits. In no way does it try to include every bit that is allowed or not allowed. If exhibitors have questions concerning a bit they wish to use, and that specific bit is not mentioned in the current rules or these guidelines, then exhibitors should ask the show stewards and/or the judge if the bit is acceptable for that show. Exhibitors should have alternative bits available so that they can make a change if it is determined by show officials that their preferred bit is unacceptable for that show. Each county, district or regional, and state show is officiated by different stewards and judges.

    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. The bit is the most important part of the bridle The cheekpieces and shanks of curb and Pelham bits because it is the major tool of communication and must also fit properly.

Cheekpieces must lie along the horse’s cheeks.
