Open Consignment Horse Sale, Hills Prairie Livestock, Bastrop, TX. (Under new manage- ment) Huge Tack Sale at 11am. Saddles, Pads, Bridles, Blankets and too many items to list! Horse Sale at 1pm. Open to all horses - no pre-consignments necessary. Horses will be received all day until the end of the sale. Riding


car on Main Street, Your- town, USA and finding that some of the drivers are following British rules -- keeping to the left, some are driving U.S. style -- keeping to the right, and others are meandering aimlessly from one lane to the other. Some drivers just stop in the lane of traffic to talk with a friend for several minutes, have a drink or take off a jacket, and then move along at 5 mph. A couple of driv- ers decide they want to chat while driving, so they role down the windows and creep along, side-by-side at 5 mph blocking both lanes of traffic. Some drivers cut in front of you and then just stop -- or even go in reverse! Then there are the distracted drivers who are on their cell phones and the “Sunday


drivers” who are just taking their car for a spin but have no destination, and so make random turns as they slowly move down the road. “Insanity! Chaos! Danger- ous!” you say to yourself. Then you learn that while there are rules of the road, few people know they exist and fewer still know what they are. And why is that, you wonder. Because driver education instructors only teach their students how to operate a car – how to oper- ate the gas pedal, brakes and steering wheel, maybe even turn signals and manual transmission. But no one has taught drivers the rules of the road. The situations de-


horses and lead thru will run first and all loose horses will run last. 8% Commission. $20 Office Fee. $10 Pass Out Charge. Orginal negative Coggins required on all horses. FMI call Cass Ringel- stein at 210-885-0902.

rules of the road for arenas Imagine driving your


of riding their horse but few seem to know the rules of the road. This creates a frustrating and sometimes dangerous environment for every rider. In many European countries riders are taught arena rules and even take written tests to prove that they know them. The U.S. Pony Club also teaches riding arena eti- quette, but it would appear that most instructors in this country do not teach their students etiquette. We would all be saf-


scribed above are essentially those that prevails in many American riding arenas. Most riders know the basics


er, and most of us would be happier, if everyone fol- lowed the same rules when riding in an arena with oth- ers. Fundamentally, the rules are to stay alert, be considerate and have a plan. If you do not know where you are going then neither your horse nor other riders

will be able to guess. It would be useful, however, to specify which side of the road to drive on, who has the right-of-way and how to cross the road safely. The following rules


conform to international rules and could be a useful model for American barns: 1. When two rid-


ers meet going in opposite directions, the rider on the left rein takes the rail. This is just like driving a car on a U.S. road. Pass one another left-to-left. 2. Do not stop on the


rail if others are riding in the arena. If you must block the rail, ask other riders for permission and make your stop brief. 3. When walking


your horse, whether to warm up, cool down, or practice transitions, get off the rail

and the second track. Leave the two outer tracks to riders trotting or cantering in either direction. 4. If you are riding a


figure, such as a circle, leave enough space on the rail for traffic to get around you in each direction. 5. The rider on a


straight line, such as a di- agonal, has priority over a rider on a circle. 6. Always give begin-


ners wide berth – they might not be in control of their horses.


7. Always give prior-


ity to a group in a riding les- son. Give a private-lesson rider as much priority as is feasible. 8. When entering or


leaving the arena, call out to other riders to make sure it’s safe to open the gate.

APHA 9. Do not lunge in an


arena where others are rid- ing without first obtaining permission from the rider(s). If you must lunge where others are riding, keep your circle well inside the rail and second track so riders can get around you safely, and do not wander up and down the arena. Do not flail or crack your whip – it might frighten or distract other horses.


10. If there is


a dedicated jumping arena and a rider wishes to jump in it do not lunge or prac- tice dressage figures in that arena at that time.
