This article gives Pferd.Der horse haven an overview of all kinds of sport with the partner can into riding, driving sport and soil work be divided.
When riding the rider sits not passively on the horse, but goes along actively with the movement of the horse. The horse is directed thereby by Gewichtsverlagerung, thigh pressure and assistance so mentioned. Also the voice is a outstanding assistance for the horse, her is however with Dressurturnieren illegal.
The Dressur forms the foundation-stone for the practice of all riding disciplines, which in different difficulty stages (in Germany: E - A riser, A beginner, L - easy, M - moderately severe, S - heavy, in Austria: A beginner, L easy, LM transition class, m moderately severe and S heavy) to be operated. In the Dressur presents itself the learned and existing harmony between riders and horse in implementing the different Dressurlektionen. Dressurreiten is delivered olympic discipline in the class S tasks of Grand Prix, Grand Prix special and Grand Prix The is a public magnet and becomes ever more important in all classes.
Jump-rides is overcoming from obstacles to horses. It requires much skill, balance from the rider, to ride and precise effect of the rider assistance around a horse correctly over an obstacle. The difficulty the jumping riding consists riding of it a horse to the jump so near that the horse can develop an optimal flight curve with the jump. The horse may not jump off thus too closely the obstacle and also not at to large distance. As rule of thumb, idass the distance from the obstacle applies to correspond to the height of the obstacle with the jump about should. I.e. with obstacle a height of 1,20 m should be able to jump off the horse approx. 1.20 before the jump. In the tournament haven the heights of the obstacles are divided into the following classes:
E (a riser): 0,80 - 1,00m A (beginner): 1,00 - 1,10m L (easy): 1,10 - 1,20m M/B (moderately severe): 1,20 - 1,30m M/A (moderately severe): 1,30 - 1,40m S (heavy): 1,40 - 1,60m S* S ** S ***
Obstacles can e.g. be the so-called Oxer, which consists of a steep jump with a bar variable in arbitrary distance. In addition there is the Trippelbarre, a simple steep jump and with the large Derby in Hamburg, which takes place at a large external place, even barriers. These consist of a hill, which over-grows with earth stacked up and from lawns is. There are also still steep jumps and gate with jumping examinations only to errors and time is rated. An error is e.g. the Herunterwerfen of a bar by the horse (4 error points), refusing and/or stopping before an obstacle (on national tournaments 3 error points, on international tournaments 4 points). Also the excess of the maximum time is to be evaluated with error points. With style jumping examinations however harmonious overcoming of the obstacles of the rider is evaluated. For this there is an arranging scale of 0-10, which is divided for its part into 1er of steps; i.e. there are notes of e.g. 6,0; 6,1; 6,2; 6,3; "Â…; 6,9; 7,0"Â… This note scale applies naturally also to the Dressursport and the driving sport. Detailed data over tournaments and riders can under jumping riding are found.
The versatility riding consists of the three disciplines Dressur, a jumping and area riding; depending upon weight of the examination can come a way distance, a course and a sifting of the horse.
During the versatility examination horse and riders need often very much courage, perseverance, skill and flexibility. However sometimes individual obstacles can be ridden under acceptance of a time disadvantage in an easier alternative.
By hunt riding one understands a riding behind dogs. One rides on an area distance with natural obstacles. Differently than with the fox hunt hunt riding is pure horse haven, it no game is thus hunted. The dogs (Meute) hunt on the so-called Schleppe, which is put with an odoriferous substance. The riders follow in different fields and cross thereby the obstacles.
Another kind "hunt riding" is the elbow riding. While the horse abrennt within a given time a distance, the rider with the elbow shoots at a disk in the center of the Parcours. If the horse creates the distance in a certain time, both points of bonus get. For each hit protecting gives likewise it points, to jenachdem where the arrow landed.
This arising kind of sport requires large perseverance of horse and rider. In the distance haven the USA are prominent, to it Great Britain. In Germany the distance riding was discovered as match haven only end of the sixties. The German distance riding is since 1976 in the "association of German distance riders and - driver registered association" organized, at present gives it approximately 1,500 members.
As is the case for other competitions there is also a partitioning when distance riding to different categories from relatively short distances to the hardest from 160,9 km length. Horse and riders must put the respective distance back in minimum speed, only in the bronze category and/or initial stage a maximum speed are given. The horses are submitted regular controls and to have all stations healthy and with a pulse frequency of at the most 64 impacts per minute (after 20 min) reach. If the horse does not exist the examination, it is disqualifiziert, in order to avoid that it suffers large load by to damage.
When distance riding there are regulations those the qualification for different classes among other things reglementieren. To the simpler classes buckle belongs to the "bronze more qualifier" (32.2 km, speed of 10,5 km/h to 12.8 km/h). Everyone, which wants to begin in higher classes, must lead minutes across its horse. This minutes must be submitted before beginning of match. The horses and/or Ponys must be old at least five years, in order to be able to participate in the distance riding. For the "endurace riders" (gold category and hardest distance) the horse must be at least seven years old. A well-known distance ride is the "golden horshoe" in Exmoore, an extremely heavy distance of 160,9 km length, which must be ridden in two days.
Orientation-ride (T.R.E.C.) are moving riding with map and compass as match. After the actual orientation ride still tasks are to be mastered, which prove the confidence of rider and horse. Straight ones in the spring to late summers are offered also by some riding associations of O-rides. Some find as described above with a map instead of others have out-described ways. On the way approx. all 2-5 km of the overall length of the O-ride) are stations with those tasks as e.g. from horse throw or from A to B water bucket carry (ride) without water to bury. Some tasks go on time. Not only the fate of the individual Reites is tested but also its specialized knowledge over horses, its needs and its health. For each task there are points. At the conclusion of the O-ride the points of all participants are counted and the best 3 are (usually special premiums such as fodder, finery things, Trensen etc.). It can be started individually or in 2-er groups (dependent on the organizer).
The Westernreiten is one from American coming riding way, which follows strongly requirements the work to horses, to which it examinations in different disciplines and severity levels gives. Most important discipline of the Westernreitens is the Reining, the Westerndressur. The heaviest is however the Superhorse. Here elements from Reining, Trail, Westernriding and Western Pleasure are demanded.
The "pace riding in such a way specified" is a kind of sport for the evaluation of the Audruckskraft. It is exercised in the paces passport and their variations (see horse pace and course horse). With a several speeds on both hands must be ridden. Degrees of difficulty are here as follows:
With the Voltigieren different turn and gymnastic exercises are implemented alone or in the group on the horse and presented on different matches.
As is the case for moving there is a high range also here. Moving rides can alone, in small or large groups, be led or organized over particulars or several days until weeks be accomplished. As is the case for moving one knows riding moving maps receives also here, which register tested and partly particularly ways with all necessary stations, maintained for the moving riding. Also for the moving riding badges and training courses can be made. There are different forms to practice the moving riding: as well as in competitions and simply to the spare time. In each case common experiencing of nature stands in the foreground.
