    What are the canter aids? (Leg Aids)

    • Both Legs on Girth

    • Inside Leg on Girth Outside Leg behind girth

    • Outside Leg on Girth Inside Leg behind Girth

    • Both Legs behind girth

    • None of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Inside Leg on Girth Outside Leg behind girth
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Inside Leg on Girth Outside Leg behind girth." Canter aids refer to the cues given by the rider to the horse to initiate and maintain the canter gait. In this case, the inside leg is placed on the girth (near the horse's belly) to ask for the canter, while the outside leg is positioned slightly behind the girth to support the horse's hindquarters and maintain balance during the canter. This combination of leg aids helps the horse understand the desired gait and maintain the correct lead.

    What age should a normal Horse be backed?

    • 2 Yrs

    • 3 Yrs

    • 4Yrs

    • 5Yrs

    • 6Yrs

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 Yrs
    Explanation
    A normal horse should be backed at around 3 years old. At this age, the horse's skeletal system has developed enough to handle the weight of a rider and the stress of training. Starting the backing process too early can put too much strain on the horse's joints and bones, potentially leading to long-term damage. Waiting until the horse is 3 years old allows for proper physical development and reduces the risk of injury.

    • 15hh

    Correct Answer
    A. 14.2hh
    Explanation
    The height of a horse is typically measured in hands, with each hand being equivalent to 4 inches. The lowest height that is considered a horse is 14.2 hands high. This means that the horse is 14 hands and 2 inches tall at the withers, which is the highest point of the horse's back. Horses that are shorter than 14.2 hands high are usually classified as ponies.
