Robart Robart Pinchless Walking Horse Bit – 5 $52.5 Robart PRECISION Bits have patented internal springs that allows the port to return to a neutral position quickly upon dropping the rein, giving immediate reward for correct behavior. Great for shoulder control and keeping a lower head set. Why a Pinchless Bit? A horse is a flight and fight animal. If the bit is hurting the horses mouth he is going to respond with fight or flight. Neither of these responses are condusive to training, competing or riding. Take the pain away and you instantly modify their behavior and response to your instructions. The Pinchless bit swivels at the bars, rather than relying on the center link to swivel, eliminating the possibility of pinching the tongue. Also it gives a more consistant and immediate signal to your horse, so his response time is reduced, with less pressure. If a horse is not new to the bit and is still gapping his mouth, excessive mouth movement or tossing his head, you will want to try a pinchless bit. Using a pinchless bit on a young horse will prevent inflicting pain, keeping the experience less streeful, resulting in easier and improved learning for the horse. Great for walking and all gaited horses. Tongue is not trapped! Smooth ball action allows horse to swallow and relax his face. More gait control.Size:  5

My family has been involved in horse riding training for over 25 years and we thought it would be a great idea to share some of the knowledge we have built up. Also, as our 4 year old daughter is about to start her training we thought it would be great to share some of her experiences as she progresses.

I’ve put together my Top 5 Tips for you to follow before getting started in your horse riding training.

1. An important factor when you start your horse riding training is making sure that you take your time to find a good reputable training school using good training methods. The reason why this is important is because it’s easy to pick up bad habits. If you don’t take your time in finding the right training, then you run the risk of developing bad habits which are difficult to correct later. So do your homework, speak to friends who already ride, visit a few in your area and if possible watch some of the lessons to get a feel for the school or center as the feel can be just as important as the content of the lesson.

2. Another important consideration is what equipment you buy. It’s critical that you buy good quality equipment because you want it to last and be safe, horse riding can be harsh on equipment and riders especially when riding cross country.  Also, if you like the idea of entering horse showing events you will want to look your be stand buying the right horse riding clothing can help. If you make sure that you buy good quality equipment, then you’ll be fine.

3. You don’t have to spend vast amounts of money in order to start  training. All you need to do is read up as much as you can, knowledge can go a long way to building confidence when getting on to a horse for the first time.

4. Instead of complicating training efforts by buying a horse and equipment straight away, try it this way: contacting your preferred training school and part renting a horse, then as you improve your horse riding ability and you are sure it is the right hobby for you, then buy your own. In fact, if you contact your local stables, then you may find that there are horses available to rent and look after as if they were your own.

5. Have you considered sharing a horse with a friend. It’s not as difficult as you might think, and can help to spread the costs of looking after your own horse.

So if you really want to start horse riding training, following these tips can help make your experience a fun, safe and enjoyable one and one that you will want to continue for life.

Andy Day and his family have over 25 years experience in keeping horses and horse riding training. Together they share their experiences and knowledge to help you get started and have fun in your horse riding.

What equipment/apparel do I need for eventing? Please think of anything and everything.?

I’ve been riding western (barrel racing, etc.) for twenty years and decided to take english lessons to refine my seat, etc. I’ve found that I love jumping and my instructor thinks I’d enjoy eventing and my horse would love it. I have no idea what clothing I need and what all I equipment (saddles, etc.) I need for my horse. Could someone give me a list?

Dressage:
Dressage bridle*
Dressage Saddle/girth*
Dressage Bit (You have to use a snaffle in dressage- although there might be a FEW exceptions, this is the general rule. If you do not normally ride in an acceptable snaffle (Check the USEF website for acceptable bits) you will have to have a special one for Dressage)
White saddle pad
White polo wraps if your horse needs protective footwear- boots, even bell boots, are not allowed.
Black Show coat
Black gloves
White or tan breeches
hairnet
Black tall boots or Black smooth leather paddock boots and half chaps
White show shirt**
Stock tie and gold pin, or a “cheater stock tie” (It’s basically is a premade one on a piece of white cloth, so you could wear a regular t-shirt underneath. http://www.cheshirehorse.com/cw3/assets/product_full/eqdickiepretiedstocktie.jpg However, keep in mind that if it gets really hot, you will NOT be able to take off your coat!)
Black helmet, either black velvet helmet or a regular helmet with a black velvet helmet cover.
If you need a dressage whip, make sure it is within the acceptable length.
Spurs only if you need them.

Cross Country
-Jumping bridle* (With whatever bit works for you)
-Jumping Saddle/girth*
- Protective boots, even if your horse doesn’t nessacarily need them- Cross country jumps, if hit, can be very hard on their legs, and who knows what they might gallop through. Usually galloping boots or splint boots are used, although really it depends on your horses needs.
-Saddle Pad
NOTE: Usually for cross country, you pick your “colors”- one or two colors you coordinate your tack and clothing to, so you and your horse match and stand out.
-Boots for you- or half chaps and paddock boots.
- Medical Armband
- Protective Vest
- ASTM/SEI approved helmet
-gloves
-crop or spurs if needed
- Tan breeches, although black and your color breeches are acceptable.
-Studs and stud kit, if you need them. (They sqrew into the horse’s shoe to give more traction) At the lower levels you prolly will not.
-Stopwatch with large numbers, Minutes and seconds clearly visable.

Show Jumping/Stadium:
- Jumping Saddle/Girth*
-Jumping bridle*
- Protective boots if needed
- Saddle pad, conservative color, usually white but it really varies.
- gloves
-crop/spurs if needed
- Medical armband
- ASTM/SEI approved helmet, preferably black.
- Black boots or smooth leather black half chaps with matching paddock boots
- Show coat- can be black, If you want to use your dressage one, but can also be black/blue with pinstripes, ect. Basically, this is alot like Jumpers.
- White show shirt**
- Ratcatcher or Stock tie with pin (Once again, cheater stock ties count)
-Tan breeches
- Hair net
———————————–
These are the bare minium. Obviously, if it is a multiple day rally, you would also need horse care items. You will prolly also want to make sure you have some Liniment and a basic first aid kit, and make sure you have your number on as the show requires (They have different rules) You also will want to make sure to bring tack cleaning materials.
Oh, and the *ed Items are optional- you can either have seperate jumping and dressage tack, or you can just have a multipurpose saddle and switch out the bits on the bridle. Personal choice, really, although as you progress up the levels the flexibility decreases. The **ed things are because, really, if you have a cheater stock tie you might not need a show shirt- however, if it it really hot, you cannot take your coat off- and if they call coats (Because it is so hot) they will require you to take your coat off- So plan for your area. I live in MN, and very rarely in our short show season are coats called. However, if you lived in TX, or Florida, it might be a different case.

There are loads more of things, but really, you learn them as you go- I also prolly forgot some things because they are so basic to me I don’t think about it. But I tried to give you what I could…..But remember, none of this includes horse care stuff. And if I went into this, I will run out of space (I have had it happen) but I will say this- Even if it is a one day affair, make sure to bring a water bucket- your horse will need it, and you cannot let him drink out of a communal trough- Imagine if your horse, or another horse who drank out of it, had Strangles or some other such disease? The whole show would have it by the end of the day.
