Bob is a CTRI preparing the horse, Cody, for an upcoming lesson.
The rider's assessment and goals indicate that the equipment
,3|Page
required is an all-purpose English saddle fitted with safety "S"
stirrups and rainbow reins attached to the halter. Before retrieving
Cody from his stall, Bob sets out all of the required equipment on
the saddle racks in the barn aisle near the cross ties.
Once Cody is safely on the cross ties, Bob begins the grooming
process, making mental note of Cody's behavior and any
sensitive areas on his body. The saddle pad is placed on Cody's
back first, centeredover the spine and covering the withers. Next,
the saddle is placed gently in the center of the saddle pad; both
keepers are fastened around the billet closest to the horse's
shoulder, and the pad is pulled into the pommel of the saddle to
reduce pressure and create airflow. The girth is next and is
attached to the first and third billets on t - ANSWER-Cody's
saddle should be placed far enough behind his shoulder to
prevent discomfort and not interfere with Cody's shoulder
movement. When Bob attaches the girth to both sides of the
saddle, he should be able to fit a hand's width between the girth
and Cody's elbow.
CTRI Mike is teaching a lesson to two riders in an outdoor arena.
Keeping safe spacing between the horses being ridden in the
lesson is essential for safety. Mike identifies the most forward
, 4|Page
moving horse and the slowest moving horse in the group. The
horses are organized according to declining order of speed,with
two horse lengths after one another. In this configuration, Mike
can keep the riders in his visual field and minimize the amount of
time taken to readjust spacing of the horses. When switching
directions, the horses and riders are asked to cross the diagonal
rather than complete half circles to change direction, which
preserves the horse speed order. During the lesson, Mike
supports his riders by giving verbal cues to fellow riders regarding
spacing and changes of direction to encourage the learning of
appropriate riding arena etiquette. What riding skills can be
incorporated when teaching safe arena etiquet - ANSWER-The
rider in the back might utilize an alternating leg aid to encourage
her horse to walk with an extended gait to stay within two horse
lengths of the lead rider. How to use a half halt could be taught to
the rider in the front to slow her horse's pace to stay in proximity
to the other rider in the group.
Which type of tack is MOST supportive to riders?
a. Dressage saddle
b. Close-contact saddle
c. Australian saddle
