CTRE. 1.1: Know and Implement PATH INTL. Standards and their
interpretation for equine care, maintenance, and usage Right Ans - Look at
Equine Welfare and Management Standards
EQM6 Mandatory: Is there documentation regarding equine workload limits
that includes the following:
A written policy that sets a maximum limit for each equine's working session
to no more than three continuous hours and workday to no more than six
hours?
Written records of the number of hours and types of sessions for each equine
per day?
CTRE. 1.2: Know and Implement PATH INTL Standards and their
interpretation regarding the use of safety equipment and adaptive equipment
Right Ans - Adaptive equipment must be safe and in good repair (*P14) well
fitting and considerate of the conformation of the horse (P15). Surcingle trees
if they are fixed should be fitted to each horse in- dividually much like a
traditional saddle. Surcingles with flexible trees or soft webbing should not
cause stress points or soreness for the horse.
Adaptive saddles should be screened, critically assessed for safety and
assessed for the impact on the horse both with and without additional weight
of the participant (P2). Conformation of the horse to be used with adaptive
tack should be taken into account when choosing equipment that may put
additional stress on the horse. Assessment of the equipment should be done
prior to the adaptive equipment being used with a participant.
CTRE. 2.2: Know the basic anatomic parts of the horse Right Ans -
, CTRE. 3.1: Know the characteristics of the senses of the equine and how they
contribute to equine behavior Right Ans - Know the characteristics of the
senses of the equine and how they contribute to equine behavior
CTRE 3.4: Identify stable vices, including cribbing, weaving, biting, kicking,
and wood chewing Right Ans - A stable vice is an abnormal behavior by a
horse or pony. Vices are considered unhealthy behaviors and are usually
caused by boredom, unhappiness, or nervousness.
Cribbing Right Ans - When a horse or pony grabs a solid object such as a
fence or stall door with his teeth, arches his neck and swallows in a gulp of air.
Sucking in a lot of air can cause colic (severe stomach discomfort) and
cribbing is destructive to property.
Most people believe endorphins are released during this behavior. These
endorphins give the horse a feeling of pleasure. Horse can become addicted to
this good feeling and will keep doing it whenever they are bored. Some people
believe digestive issues may also cause a horse to crib because cribbing
produces extra saliva (spit) which can help with an upset stomach.
Cribbing is not a curable behavior, although you can help to stop a horse from
cribbing with a cribbing strap. A crib strap goes around a horse's throat and
keeps them from being able to suck in a big gulp of air. The strap should be
taken off the horse for at least an hour a day in order to air out the neck.
Weaving Right Ans - Weaving is when a horse sways from side to side over
and over, swinging his head, and shifting from foot to foot.
Horses may weave due to spending too much time confined in a stall or pen. It
is mostly seen in nervous, stressed out, or high-strung horses. Boredom can
also lead to weaving.
Weaving in horses can cause holes in the stall floor. It can also wear down the
horse's hooves and loosen their shoes.
Weaving is a manageable vice that can be cured by providing more pasture
time with other horses. Also, installing a U shaped stall gate can help.
