Preparations To Take Before Transporting Your Horse

Once the horses have arrived at the place of transport they must be properly fed with hay along with abundant water. Give them enough rest before they look revitalized and normal like before. The travel should be well planned so that it allows the horses to take breaks to rest at regular intervals and also gives them a breather when they have reached the destination. Thus proper care and handling of horses during long distance Horse Transport helps in avoiding a number of mistakes.

 

Can you show at your county fair if your horse is unregistered?

I will be showing for my first time next year at the county fair (I live in Minnesota and I am 15) and I am wanting to know if I can show my horse if she is unregistered? Thanks!
if your county is like ours then yes. They HAVE classes for registered horses but they have open classes, unregistered pure classes as well. And if you do barrel racing etc at the show then it doesn’t matter on breed just your age. But you need health papers, coggins etc turned in advanced. When it gets closer to  the show see if your extension office has a fair book or some sort with everything you need to know! Good Luck

Do you need to braid your horse for jumper shows?

 I was just wondering if you need to braid your horse for show jumping? Not hunters but jumpers.

You don’t have to, but most people do… I only braid the top part of the tail, and let the rest flow natural and I pull the mane so it is neater in appearance… but that’s just my preference. You can braid all or nothing… which ever you prefer…. there’s not a braid rule.

  2. theshadow01 Says:     May 20th, 2010 at 7:34 pm Most show jumpers do not braid.  Only at the international level will you find riders that braid their jumpers.  At the big shows it costs upwards of $100 to have your horse braided, and it is not a requirement. References : “A” show hunter/jumper groom for 14 years.
  3. allaroundrider Says:     May 20th, 2010 at 7:53 pm yes most of the time it would depend on the show and the judge though  it would probably be better to just braid the horse that way you know that won’t look down on you for braiding and even if it wasn’t necessary your horse looks neat and tidy References :
  4. Megan Says:     October 4th, 2010 at 4:44 pm It is against the rules for a judge to penalize you for being unbraided, even at a USEF rated show. That said, if you choose not to braid, make sure your horse’s mane is clean, short (3-5 in) and tidy and lays on only one side of his neck. If your choose to have your horse braided by a professional, make sure you arrange for it a day or two in advance, and that your braider knows what classes you will be showing in. I believe the going rate is $40 to $50 for the mane and $30 plus for the tail. Most people only braid the tail for classics or large horse shows.
  5. Julia Says:     November 11th, 2012 at 9:01 pm I don’t braid my horse’s mane, so  can have something to grab when jumping. I also braid the top part of the horse’s tail.

Is neatsfood oil bad for the stitching on your horse bridle?

I have always used neatsfoot oil in the past, but at this past horse show a lady told me that neatsfoot oil can damage the stitching on your bridle. Is this true or not true? I bought leather therapy brand conditioner. She told me it would darken my bridle. I have an edgewood. It did darken the bridle, but not as much as I would like. Even with multiple applications I just can’t get it to the way it looks when I use neatsfoot oil. The coloring also looks uneven. I have never had a bridle fall apart from using neatsfoot oil but maybe they mean long term? Have you tried any products like neatsfoot oil that make the leather soft, won’t damage stitching and also darkens?

When it is used in large amounts for long periods of time, yes, neatsfoot oil DOES rot stitching on a bridle- or on any other leather product, in fact. I normally only use neatsfoot very sparingly on my tack, and I make sure to wipe any excess off after I’m done. Neatsfoot oil is a conditioning agent for leather, but it is NOT a cleaner. To both clean and darken leather, you will need to use consistent applications of something like Lexol leather cleaner, followed by the conditioner made by the same company. Lexol DOES darken leather- that is how I get my new bridles and saddles darkened and broken in for use. You can also use Hydrophane, and follow that with Lexol if you want- that method will also work. Hope this helps.

I now use hydrophane leather dressing or effax leather balm. Don’t know if either of them has the same darkening effect as neatsfoot though as all my tack is black now. References :

WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD HUNTER/JUMPER SHOW HORSE BREED?

I’m looking to lease a horse and I want to get a breed that is good at jumping. But I don’t want the horse to be like 17 hh or a pony.

Warmbloods are ideal for hunter/jumpers.

Jumpers need to be brave. They need to be able to approach any type of fences from the mundane to the truly weird and jump it without hesitating or knocking down any rails. The ideal jumper is built uphill, with its primary power in the hindquarters so that it can push itself over the larger jumps. Good conformation in the front end is also important as there is a ton of downward force as the horse lands after a big jump.

Heartland is hands down the best show in the world for horse lovers and horsetoloan.com is the best site for Heartland TV show information.

In the lower levels many riders just race around the courses trusting their horses to get them out of any jams they might find themselves in. This is ok over small fences, but as the heights go up a lot more thought and riding skill must go into a course. Wide jumps require a longer stride while high jumps require the horse to set back in order to make the height. When these kinds of jumps are combined together they can make for a very challenging ride. To train your horse, make sure you have the right Horse Stable supplies and equipment.
