Review Beginner Preventative Care: TPR
So what does TPR stand for?
Honestly, if you don't know the answer to that first question go back and reread. A few times. Then try again.
What are three "normals" you should know about your horse?
What should a resting horse's temperature be?
What should a resting horse's pulse be?
What's the next logical question?
What's the answer to the next logical question?
How do you check capillary refill time? What is the acceptable time-range?
Where are two places you can take the pulse?
Got all that? Great! Now go find out what all the normals are for your horse!

Advanced Tack: Review
Name 3 parts of the horse that are affected by the bit.
You're watching an intermediate level lesson and your coach sends you back to get a pelham for one of the riders. There are these two bits hanging in the tack room. Which one do you bring? Why might she have decided on this bit?
Note - for answer to the bit question above, click the image :)
You've been given the opportunity to start a green horse. What sort of bit would you use when first starting him? Why?
What are four things to consider when deciding on a bit for a specific horse?
What is a combination bit a combination of? What are two combination bits? Which one is more likely to be used by a child? Why?
Give an example of a direct pressure bit.
Give an example of a leverage bit.
Name the numbered parts:
Did you ever know so much could be said about bits??? Well done!

Intermediate Tack: Review
What parts of the mouth does a snaffle bit influence?
Name these bits:
Which of those bits might you use on a young, nervous horse? Why?
Which of those bits is the most severe? What makes it that way?
Why might you choose to use a full-cheek instead of a loose-ring snaffle?
Name the three nosebands:
For the first and third nosebands give one advantage of each.
Note: Answers to noseband questions by clicking on the image :)

Beginner Tack: Review
Taking the time to review? Good for you! Well as important as it is to learn diagrams; it's even more important to be able to understand the real thing!
So -- what piece of tack is Rye modeling?
If you're not sure at all -- go back and read the lesson! If you think you know, but would like confirmation, hold your mouse over the photo to read the alt text.
Identify the numbered items (note: 10 refers to one of the "miscellaneous pieces of leather" -- but which?)
Now that you know all the parts -- your next challenge is to take a bridle completely apart and then put it back together again! Good luck :) (ummm two pieces of advice before you do that: write down what hole everything goes on so it will continue to fit your horse after you're done, and don't try this right before a lesson - it might take longer than you anticipate!)
Bonus points -- what type of bit does this horse appear to be wearing? (answer to that is in the alt tag -- hold your mouse over the image)
Since almost every shot I have of a horse with a saddle on it is either an unlabelable angle or includes a rider blocking much of the saddle, I thought we'd stick with a diagram for this one:
And what's the belt that holds the saddle on the horse called? And the things you attach it to (roughly directly underneath #8)...?
And lastly (but of course not least! Is anything ever least?) the bits:
What are the two types of martingales?
You see a child riding their pony down a hill; the pony stops to graze and both child AND saddle slip comically down his neck. What piece of tack would've prevented this moment?
If you've got all that down, you're good to go :) Congrats!

Intermediate Anatomy: Review
What is the Axial skeleton responsible for and what bones are included in it?
How many lumbar vertebrae are there?
What is the skeleton responsible for locomotion called?
What was Lauren's least favourite subject in University? (points for math, bonus points if you know enough to know that despite my evident lack of counting ability, the only math that was truly beyond me was calculus :)
How many sets of ribs are there? What's the difference between true and false ribs? How many are there?
What bones are entirely in the hoof?
Label the diagram -- correctly please!

Beginner Anatomy: Review
So how many knees does your horse have?
What does FPC stand for?
What's the name of my very patient model horse? I'll give you a hint -- it means Theory in Galician (hey, I never claimed it'd be a *useful* hint!) . Yes it's a silly question, but it does show whether or not you were paying attention. What else might you have missed?
Can you identify the numbered parts of these diagrams?
Now, if you've got the hang of the diagrams, go try it on a real horse. With the sole exception being the "white line" (which is where again?) you should be able to find every part. Be aware that some horses have little to nonexistent chestnuts.
