Adaptive Riding Right Ans - The terms adaptive riding and therapeutic
riding are both acceptable for use and may be used interchangeably. See
Therapeutic Riding for definition
Balanced Seat Right Ans - Position of the mounted rider that requires the
minimum of muscular effort to remain in the saddle and that interferes least
with the equine's movement and equilibrium
Best Practice Right Ans - A standard or set of guidelines that is known to
produce positive outcomes
Bight of the Reins Right Ans - The part of the reins passing between thumb
and fingers and out the top of the hand
Blemish Right Ans - A defect that hurts an equine's appearance but does
not hurt their working ability (e.g., a scar)
Bolting Right Ans - An animal breaking out of control or trying to run away
Broke Right Ans - 1. Tamed and trained to a particular function, an example
would be halter broke. 2. To leave or alter gait (e.g., the trotter broke stride)
Canter or Lope Right Ans - A three-beat gait in which the first and third
beats are made by two legs each striking the ground independently and the
second beat is made by two legs (diagonal pair) striking the ground
simultaneously. In the left lead, the sequence of beats is (1) right hind leg
strikes the ground, (2) left hind leg and right foreleg strike the ground, and (3)
left foreleg strikes the ground, followed by a moment of suspension. The
reverse applies for the right lead
Cavesson Right Ans - Headstall with an oftentimes large noseband
containing rings used for exercising and training horses
Change of Lead Right Ans - Change of leading leg at the canter
,Cinch Right Ans - Girth of a Western saddle
Cold-Backed Right Ans - Describes an equine that humps its back and does
not settle down until the saddle has been on a few minutes. Some "cold-
backed" equines will merely tuck their tails and arch their backs when first
mounted, but others will take a few crow hops until warmed up
Collected Gait Right Ans - Remaining on the bit, the equine moves forward
with its topline raised and arched as a result of energetic impulsion. Lightness
of the forehand and engagement of the hindquarters are called for. Shorter
strides that are lighter and more mobile
Conformation Right Ans - Conformation is the way the equine is put
together, its physique. Good conformation is beautiful, but more important, it
makes an equine able to work well and stay sound even with hard work.
Conformation defects can make an equine weak in a particular area or they
can just make it less handsome
Counter Canter Right Ans - A suppling movement deliberately asking for
the opposite of the normal canter lead, such as right lead on a circle to the left.
An equine may accidently pick up their counter canter lead if they are not
strong enough to offer the correct lead. The instructor needs to be able to
recognize and correct in cases where that is not the given cue
Crest Release Right Ans - A way in which riders in the jumping or two-
point position can maintain balance and control by placing each hand firmly
on top of the crest approximately one-third the way up the equine's neck
Crop Right Ans - A riding whip with a short, straight stock and a loop
Cross-Firing Right Ans - A gait defect that occurs when the inside of the
hind foot strikes the diagonal foreleg
Cultural Competence Right Ans - Defined as the ability to understand,
appreciate and interact with people from cultures or belief systems different
from one's own
Curb Bit Right Ans - A type of bit designed to exert a leverage type of action
in the equine's mouth
, Direct Rein Steering Right Ans - The direct rein puts pressure on the bit,
directly back toward the rider. It works in opposition to the equine's forward
motion. The direct rein makes the equine shorten their stride, so it works best
where you need more control or a tight turn
Dressage Right Ans - A time-tested, methodical progression of exercises
designed to increase an equine's muscular capabilities and degree of
suppleness, allowing them to perform increasingly difficult movements under
saddle
Equine Right Ans - A general description inclusive of horses, ponies, mules,
