Equitation science
Equitation science is an evidence-based approach to horse training and riding that focuses on a thorough understanding of both equine ethology and learning theory. This combination leads to more effective horse training, but also plays a role in keeping horse riders and trainers safe around horses (Starling et al., 2016).
Training programme
This training plan is working towards the Novice working hunter class at Ryedale show (Class description can be seen in Figure 8). A full copy of the training programme can be seen in figure 9.

This horse will not be given a drastic change in feed. All that will be done is a dash of Flaxseed oil added too one feed per day. Several studies have been presented since 1986 showing improved stamina and endurance in performance horses as a result of including fats and oils as an energy source in their diets (Kapper, 2017). Priority at this point needs to be on his jumping. When doing flatwork, he will be lunged

This will also give the rider chance to gain feedback from the judge. Whilst this horse is beginning to do harder work it must be made sure that there is not an extreme loss of electrolytes. Davies, (2009) states that, for competition horse’s electrolytes, should be fed after hard work and competitions. These can be fed either in the form off a supplement or a less expensive alternative can be to feed the horse a mixture of 50% salt and 50% Lo-salt. When out hacking, hill work will be incorporated throughout. It is important this horse builds up muscle behind as this is what judges will look for in a good working hunter horse. Hunter horses are judged based on the horse’s style, their form over fences, pace and the judge’s overall impression of the horse. The horse should also have a good attentive expression, good scope, tight knees that go up to the horse’s chin and/or nose and they jump up and around the fences using their head and neck (It'sShowTime,
Science has always intrigued me. Therefore, being able to join the science honor society and explore its activities brings me euphoric joy. Joining the society would allow me acquire more knowledge about science. It would also provide me a platform where I can share my ideas on various topics in science. For my undergraduate degree, I plan on majoring in neuroscience as a stepping stone to medical school. I am curious about the brain and all its hidden potential that has yet to be explored by man. I am also interested in stem cells and their uses, and I would like to go into in-depth research about them for the science honor society project.
1. (10 points) Write out your pre-lab prediction, including what evidence or previous knowledge you have to support that prediction.
Because if they were not they would not be attached to anything and they would all be free floating ribs
A ____ involves developing a clear, concise, and unambiguous statement of the exact problem the software is to solve.

Which of the following is true of facilitated diffusion? You correctly answered: c. Movement is passive and down a concentration gradient. 3. Examples of solutes that might require facilitated diffusion include You correctly answered: d. all of the above. 4. Which of the following would not affect the rate of facilitated diffusion? You correctly answered: a. the amount of intracellular ATP
Considering the advances in technology in the past decade, it is not difficult to see how technology will affect equine practice in the coming years (Ramey and Baus, 2012). Over the years, the reasons for keeping horses have changed. They are kept for various reasons and have become ever more popular in sports and recreation. The economic value of the equestrian sector stands at £4.3 billion of consumer spending across a wide range of goods and services each year. This has increased from £3.8 billion in 2011. (Beta-uk.org, 2017). Not only are the horses that are being kept for leisure purposes, but also those employed for sport being sold on due to undesirable behaviours. Ridden behaviour problems are prevalent in the UK leisure horse population
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of diseases characterized by T-cell counts under 1,500 cells per mm3, which is a phenomenon known as T-cell lymphopenia (TCL) [1, 2]. This inherited primary immunodeficiency leads to the absence of T cells, however B cells or natural killer (NK) cells may be present but are not always functional [4]. The lack of functional immune cells leads to recurrent infections in infancy and childhood and the disease is fatal in the first two years of life if it is not treated [1]. The exact number of babies born each year with SCID is not well known, as different countries have different inclusion practices
The hunters; an elegant class full of glorious, shining horses and beautifully combed tails, soaring over fences gracefully with no time on the clock. This sight is one many may experience at a hunter jumper over fences horse show.The hunter jumper over fences classes can be full of experienced horses and riders, complete with an array of ribbons, or it can be a disaster zone, with the common excuse that every rider has either heard or said once in their life; the judge did not like my horse. Although some riders truly believe their judge did simply not like the animal, it is often because of the rider and horse’s ability. When competing in hunter over fences, it is key to have an even stride, a smooth gait, an elegant form over fences, and
Practitioners must conduct a physical exam to help rule out medical causes of potential mental health symptoms presenting as somatic complaints, such as Tom’s fatigue, headaches, and stomach aches. Potential physical disorders include anemia, thyroid dysfunction, neurologic dysfunction, gastrointestinal dysfunction, endocrine dysfunction, and certain infectious diseases (Goolsby & Grubbs, 2015). Physical exam data should be collected that addresses these systems. Height and weight are important to assess for weight gain, loss or failure to gain weight appropriate for age. This data may also uncover growth disturbance which could indicate an endocrine disorder. Heart and lungs should be auscultated. Cranial nerves should be examined. Lymph
The science behind evaluating racehorses is deciding which faults make a direct impact to the horse’s career. The requirements needed for a horse to succeed starts at the conformation of the foal/yearling. To which conformational faults are passed down from parents, however, faults may or may not have consequences to their racing career, and therefore different trainers/bloodstock agents may have different inceptions with regard to acceptable faults (TOBA, 2015).
In the early years of conditioning, competitions are integrated into the conditioning plan when the horse attains convenient level of fitness, and they are considered as a part of the conditioning step rather than an end in themselves. In contrast, experienced endurance horses are prepared for specific races each year, and the annual conditioning program is intended so that the horse reaches peak fitness at these predetermined times (Clayton et al, 1991). The training programs are various depending on whether the horse is un-experienced or experienced.
To put it simply, Equine Assisted Leaning is a powerful and professional, learner based educational experience with horses. More specifically, EAL is an effective approach to human development that encourages individual and team growth. Equine Assisted Learning involves no riding or horsemanship, making it both safe and effective.
Basically, you should look at every possible data you can get your hands on to easily determine the strengths and weaknesses of a horse and how can this affect their winning chances, while looking at other factors that could affect the results of a
Horses drink a lot of water and need water even more than food so it is vital that there is a constant
This assessment will explain what the role of the liver and pancreas is and how it aids digestion, including what they produce and how this makes the digestive system efficient. It will also include the interaction of the circulatory and respiratory systems during exercise and at rest and how they work separately and together. Lastly, it will discuss what could go wrong with these systems and how it will affect the horse.
