hi I'm Allie and I'm a horse enthusiast I love to learn about them care for them
but most of all ride them my name is Gary and I love to teach youth about
their horses but when kids and horses come together safety becomes our major
priority the 4-h program has historically been an advocate for
bringing youth and horses together in positive ways like learning programs
camps clinics and competitions like the County Fair the forage continues to
focus on the safety of our members and their horses and to that end we'd like
to bring you our new safety certification program would you tell
them about that and the intent of this safety certification is to ensure the
safety of our youth in the Wyoming 4-h horse project volunteer leaders should
feel free to work with youth to prepare for this certification process each
horse a youth plans to participate with should be certified prior to entering a
4-h sponsored competitive event no part of this certification is intended to be
a written test but rather a hands-on learning experience in which the youth
can monitor their progress in becoming a safe Horseman certification should be
done by a trained key leader who's not a parent of the child the process is
progressive meaning youth should complete section 1 then 2 a then to be
than any individual endorsement section 1 evaluates the safety of the youth
around the horse section 2 evaluates how safe the horses around the youth while
also testing the knowledge and skill of the youth section 2 a is the groundwork
for showmanship and halter while to be needs to be completed while mounted
section 3 tests the advanced endorsements of the horse and rider in
such events as roping trail speed or cattle events and jumping the first part
of the certification form identifies the horse to be evaluated you will need to
include the name and our ID number of the horse as well as breed and describe
in addition a photo of the horse being certified will need to be attached be
sure to include the name of the youth which is certifying the horse once this
is done for a specific horse it will not need to be completed again in section 1
we are evaluating the youths knowledge related to horse safety the main goal of
this portion of the certification is to create a common vocabulary in order to
facilitate a safe environment for instance an order for an instructor to
officially ask a youth to check a cinch the use must first know what the cinch
is and where to find it to complete this section a variety of techniques may be
used most importantly each Youth to do individual work ensuring that all
individuals are aware of these safety factors here are some things that can be
discussed with youth related to safety in Section 1 safety zones and safely
moving around the horse in order to work safely around the horse Youth need to
understand the safety zones help youth understand they need to avoid these
areas in order to work safely around the horse remember the only time it is
permissible to walk in front of the horse rather than behind it is when the
horses cross tied in order to safely tie a horse you should explain that they
should tie to a secure object to work safely around horses a youth must have
close toed boots with a heel and smooth hard soles other items that may be
recommended but are not necessary would be long pants long sleeve shirt or hat
helmet once the youth has completed section one
they will not have to do it again even if they are using a different horse in
Section two there are two tasks to complete first to see if the youth can
safely handle the horse and if the youth can complete each task safely this is
split up into two different groups a how the youth how the youth handles the
horse while on the ground and B while mounted youth fee to calmly catch and
halter the horse to safely do this they should be approaching the horse from the
left front of the horse and talked to it as they approach
proper application and adjustment of the halter should be noted and explained by
a youth
time must be done twice in order to pass off the requirement they should tie to
something that is close to the shoulder height of the horse a proper quick
release or manger not must be used these nuts can be found in the Wyoming 4-h
horse manual all members regardless of age or size must demonstrate safely
picking up a front foot youth will also either demonstrate or explain how to
safely pick up a rear foot youth will also be asked to clean a front of safely
be sure they pick away from their body
next we are looking for the ability of a youth to control the horse from the
ground this should look a lot like the quarter system used when showing a horse
you should understand this is related to safety and that as a veterinarian
farrier or judge moves around the horse they should be moving to the optimum
location just as in the quarter system used in halter and showmanship classes
have them trot the horse at least an arena length
next have the youth face another direction
next in controlling the horses backing the handler should stay at the side in
the safe zone ask the youth to back up at least a horse lengths in order to
know they can complete this task safely
finally with controlling the horse from the ground we are going to ask that the
youth go through a latched gate by opening and closing it
section 2a must be completed for every horse the youth plans to participate
with in groundwork classes this section must be completed before moving on to B
tests the knowledge skill and safety of the youth while mounted on the horse in
this section we are first going to talk about saddling and rattling the youth
should demonstrate or explain how to correctly change from a halter to a
bridle the horse should not be tied during this process
the head style should be adjusted correctly
ask we youth to clean the back and girth for safe saddling as those are the areas
related to safety when saddling that the youth should pay particular attention to
however this is an excellent opportunity to discuss the reasons for grooming the
entire horse
now we go on to saddling though some use will be too small to actually
demonstrate safely saddling the horse they should be able to understand the
concept when saddling these should show are explained that the saddle is gently
placed on the withers of the horse it should not be dropped or thrown to
avoid spooking the animal
next they will need to secure and adjust the cinches and breast color
you
an additional note at this point may be made that to unsettle the horse the
reverse is true the youth should explain how the equipment should be adjusted for
the horse as well as themselves including stirrup length saddle seat
size and rein length
you should ask the youth to explain and our demonstrate proper mounting and
dismounting of the horse smaller youth may not be able to do this properly but
they should understand the concept and be able to explain how it should look
the Wyoming 4-h horse manual has a detailed explanations of proper mounting
and dismounting techniques we will now ask the use to show us how they control
the horse
it is suggested they back up for at least a horse length
finally asked the youth to demonstrate both direct or plow raining and indirect
or neck raining to turn the horse both to the left and to the right
through this process we are looking for the ability of the youth to control the
horse as well as the horses willingness to respond to the youth
remember we're looking at this from a safety standpoint it is okay these tasks
are not polished as you would see in a show ring rather we want to see the
horse and youth can safely interact
once a horse has been certified through section 2b it may enter all the general
writing classes section 3 are all the additional endorsements which can be
taken at any time each horse does not have to be endorsed in every area it is
important for the rider to know which classes he can be entered in with which
endorsements trail this endorsement requires the completion of four tasks
leaders will need a gate bridge and poles to complete this endorsement we're
looking for safe interactions between the horse and rider as well as the
obstacles this does not need to be a polished performance as you would see in
a trail class speed this endorsement requires the completion of three tasks
these could be passed off with or without the use of barrels poles or
goats leaders could simply have the youth and horse gallop to the end of the
arena turn gallop back and stop numerous times evaluate youth on the control
stopping ability and body position when completing these tasks at high speed
upon completion of the speed endorsement Youth may participate in classes such as
barrels poles etc
groping this endorsement requires the completion of three tasks it could be
administered with or without the use of Cal specific skills to look for through
this process are the ability of the youth to hold onto the reins and control
the horse while swinging and throwing a rope you should be able to coil the rope
while holding the reins and controlling the horse while dallying they should
keep their thumb up and all fingers out of the coils and dollies after
completing the roping endorsement you can participate in classes such as team
roping breakaway roping and dummy roping from horseback
jumping this endorsement requires the completion of two tasks leaders should
not evaluate how well the horse jumps just that it does it in a safe manner
does not refuse jumping and the youth is able to hold a safe body position while
completing the jump our young people are much too important to be put in an
unsafe safe situation we hope that you can use this information to create a
safe learning environment what we really hope for is for our youth to be more
comfortable around horses and riding them in a safe environment in the 4-h
program with your help we can ensure the future of our 4-h project is enjoyable
and safe thanks for coming and if you have any questions contact your local
4-h educator or go online to Wyoming 4-h org
