with his horse leader, Maggie. As the
instructor is completing the set-up of
arena equipment, she observes as
Maggie warms Dudley up at walk
and trot in hand. Dudley appears to
be stiffer than usual in the hind end
at the trot. The instructor coaches
Maggie to walk and trot Dudley
more forward, which will allow him to
loosen up before his rider mounts.
The lesson plan for the day includes
four trot poles. However, based on
how Dudley is presenting in his
warm-up, the instructor modifies her
set-up to reduce the demands on
the horse's hind end. After the
lesson, the instructor shares her
observations of Dudley's stiffness
with the barn manager for further
evaluation.
What are two other choices that the
instructor could have made
regarding Dudley's stiffness?
Unsoundness is- a serious condition that affects an equine's
usefulness and way of moving. The CTRI must be
able to recognize visual signs of discomfort in the
horse that may be an indication of unsoundness,
such as ear pinning, tail swishing, nipping or
stiffness.

bounce on Jack's back during
transition to the trot. The instructor
observes that Jack is nipping at his
horse leader. The horse handler
moves his hand up to hold Jack's
halter as a defensive response to the
nipping behavior.
The instructor identifies three
corrections that need to be made to
address Jack's biting behavior and
the safety of the horse handler
based on her observations. First, the
instructor gives the rider a verbal
correction to let Richard know that
his bouncing is making his horse
uncomfortable. Additionally, the
instructor has Richard trot in half-
seat position to increase the weight
bearing input he is getting and to
reduce the impact of his self-
stimulation behaviors on the horse.
