The exact pattern will be determined by the judge, but will contain at least the following: A large fast circle, a small slow circle in both directions with a simple lead change. At least one 360 degree turn in each direction, plus a stop and a back. It will not be anything that will be too difficult. RANCH HORSE CONFORMATION The horse will be judged on type and conformation correctness only. Conformation is defined as the physical attributes necessary to perform under saddle. The horse should possess eye appeal with an attractive head; refined throat-latch; wellproportioned trim neck; long sloping shoulder; deep heart girth; short back; strong loin and coupling; long hip and croup. The ideal standard in evaluating horses in conformation should include, but not limited to, soundness and correctness in conformation, particularly feet and legs, with emphasis on correct manner of travel. The horse should show balance and uniform muscling. Horses are not penalized for scars or brands. Judging Procedure. All entries will enter the arena individually, walking to the judge one at a time. As the horse approaches, the judge will step to the right (left of the horse) to enable the horse to trot straight to a cone placed at 50 feet away. At the cone, the horse will continue trotting, turn to the left and trot towards the left wall or fence of the arena. After trotting, horses will be lined up head to tails for individual inspection by the judge. The judge shall inspect each horse from sides, front and rear. Equipment. Horses are to be shown in good working halter; rope, braided, nylon or plain leather. Minimum silver will be allowed on halters with the exception of the mandatory buckles. Keepers on open buckles are allowed, and tips are allowed. It is recommended that a horse should be shown as naturally as possible. Banded or braided manes and tail extensions are not allowed. RANCH RIDING A horse will be shown at all three gaits the walk, jog, and lope. He will also be asked to reverse away from the rail, to stop and to back. The judge may ask for an extended walk or trot. Extended trot may be ridden by sitting in the saddle, posting, or standing in the stirrups. A good ranch horse has a free-flowing stride of reasonable length on keeping with his conformation and covering a reasonable amount of ground with little effort. The motion should be balanced and flowing with the head carried in a natural position in keeping with the horse s conformation. The horse should be shown when changing gaits. The walk and jog should be free-moving and void of peggy, short strided motion. The lope should be a definite three-beat gait, performed on the proper lead, and showing good use of the hindquarters. Horse s expression should be alert, mannerly without the appearance of a dull, sullen, lethargic drawn or overly tired attitude. Maximum credit should be to flowing, balanced, and willing horse that gives the appearance of being fit, alert, and a pleasure to ride. A rider must show his horse with only one hand on the reins unless that horse is five years or younger and is being shown in an O-Ring or D-Ring snaffle bit or hackamore (bosal). Credits: 1) Natural ground covering gaits 2) Consistency at all gaits 3) Smooth upward and downward transitions 4) Working off hind quarters when turning 5) Work on reasonably loose rein without excessive cueing to maintain moderate pace. Faults to be scored according to severity 1) Lack of ground covering gait 2) Excessive speed or slowness of gait 3) Wrong lead 4) Failure to make upward or downward transitions when called for 5) Opening mouth excessively 6) Stumbling 7) Head carried with tips of ears below the withers for more than 3 strides

17 2014 Tennessee 4-H Program Protective Headgear Policy Information Effective January 1, 2014, all riders at 4-H events and activities will be required to wear properly fitted ASTM/SEI- certified helmets with chin straps properly fastened while mounted or while in a vehicle being pulled by equine. 1. Is protective headgear required to be worn at all 4-H sponsored mounted or driving activities? Yes. Properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is required to be worn by all participants, including adults, while riding or driving an equine vehicle at any Tennessee 4-H sponsored activity. 2. Many open horse shows that are NOT sponsored by 4-H have classes for 4-H members only. Are helmets required to be worn by 4-H members if they participate in such classes? The Tennessee 4-H Protective Headgear Rule is in effect for 4-H sponsored shows and activities only. 3. Does protective headgear have to be worn in showmanship classes? No, with the exception of hunter classes which require ASTM/SEI approved headgear as part of that division s attire (hunt caps are not permitted). Properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is required when a youth or adult is riding or driving an equine vehicle during any 4-H activity, not when exhibiting an equine in-hand (exception: Hunter In-Hand and Hunter Showmanship). However, the use of protective headgear intended for equestrian use is encouraged in all classes, and any exhibitor may wear protective headgear in any class without judging discrimination. 4. What style protective headgear should be used for western classes? Any style of ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is allowed in western classes, including western, english, or schooling helmets. It is the responsibility of the rider, or the parent or guardian of the youth participant, to make sure that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, is in good condition, and is properly fitted with the chin harness fastened at all times while riding or driving. 5. Are helmets required when riding outside the show ring? All participants, including adults, in any 4-H equestrian activity, are required to wear properly fitted ASTM/SEI helmet intended for equestrian use with the chin harness securely fastened at all times while riding or driving an equine anywhere on the competition grounds. Any exhibitor found in violation of this rule at any time will be prohibited from participating until proper safety headgear is in place. 6. Are bicycle or other helmets with a harness allowed? No, bicycle helmets or hunt caps with a single chin strap are NOT acceptable. Only ASTM/SEI approved protective headgear intended for equestrian use is allowed. 7. May protective headgear be modified in any manner? No, other than to adjust the fit with pads supplied by the manufacturer. 8. May helmet covers be used? Covers may be used provided they can be removed for inspection of the helmet if necessary.

18 9. How should show committees or officials enforce the rule? The Tennessee 4-H protective headgear policy should be included in the show/event program or in the event rules. The show committee or officials are not required to inspect protective headgear unless the appropriateness of such headgear is questioned. In such cases, the show committee or officials have the authority to inspect the headgear and enforce the rule as stated in the current Tennessee 4-H Horse Championships Handbook. Any exhibitor found to be in violation of the rule will be prohibited from further participation until appropriate headgear is properly in place. 10. How should a show committee or official respond if it is questioned that an exhibitor is riding with headgear that is not in compliance with current rules (i.e. currently riding in a class or riding or on the show grounds)? If it is brought to the show committee s or official s attention that a youth s headgear is questionable, the show committee must immediately investigate and determine the accuracy of the report. If the headgear is not in compliance with the protective headgear rule, the show committee or official must prohibit the exhibitor from further riding/driving until properly fitted ASTM/SEI approved headgear is in place. The show committee or officials may investigate the appropriateness of headgear without a formal protest. 11. Should counties or 4-H clubs buy helmets for use by 4-H members at 4-H sponsored events? No. Protective headgear should only be purchased or owned by the 4-H member or their parent(s) or guardian(s). It is the responsibility of the rider, or the parent or guardian of the youth participant, to make sure that the headgear worn complies with appropriate safety standards for protective headgear intended for equestrian use, and is properly fitted and in good condition.

19 Tennessee 4-H Horse Program Adult Helmet Wavier We are aware that there are many adults and non-4-h member youth who ride at Tennessee 4-H horse program shows and events. While we strongly recommend that all riders, including adults, wear helmets to ensure their own safety and to set good examples for our youth, we realize that not everyone will be willing to do so. For these circumstances, we have developed an Adult Helmet Waiver form. Non-member youths are not eligible for the waiver. The waiver forms apply to adult riders only, and these forms are included in this document. All adult riders who refuse to wear a helmet must complete and sign the waiver form before the event or show, and a copy must be kept on file by the respective show or event management. Below is a FAQ regarding the adult helmet policy. Tennessee 4-H Horse Program Adult Helmet Wavier FAQ Are 4-H members who are 18 and older eligible to waiver out of wearing a helmet? NO. All 4-H participants, regardless of age, are required to wear a helmet. The waiver form is ONLY applicable to riders over 18 years of age who are not participating as a 4-H member. Are non-4-h members who are under 18 years old eligible to waiver out of wearing a helmet? NO. All youth, regardless of 4-H membership status, are required to wear a helmet. Are adults required to sign waivers for our county horse shows? If your county show is OPEN to adults and non-4-h youth, and is not sponsored by your 4-H program, then helmet waivers are not required. If your county show is a 4-H horse show, then any adult riders who refuse to wear helmets will be required to sign helmet waivers. Are adult riders required to sign a waiver if they are putting on a non-4-h activity on their own farm or property? NO. If an adult is putting on a demonstration or clinic on their OWN farm or property they do NOT have to sign a waiver. Are helmet waivers required for riders in 4-H judging contests? YES. Adult riders in judging contests who do not wear helmets are required to sign helmet waivers. Youth riders (including 4-H members 18 years of age and older) in judging contests are required to wear helmets and cannot be exempted from this rule.
