Federal Guide FFE Galop® 2

French Equestrian Federation General knowledge presents the different equestrian activities and accommodations for ponies and horses with a close-up on the priorities of horse riding and riding figures. Knowledge of the horse delves into the anatomy and physiology of the horse, its 5 senses, its head, its limbs, the characteristics of its coats. It addresses the social organization of horses among themselves and takes a closer look at their eating behavior. Added to this is the presentation of the main types of ponies and horses. Taking care of the horse gives a lot of space to the different handling of the horse to pick it up and bring it back to its place of life. It explains how to do the grooming, put on the net, maintain the saddle and distribute the feed. Equestrian practice on foot explains how to lead the horse in hand, make it move its head, shoulders or hips and make it move back. Equestrian practice on horseback explains how to become independent to master the mount, the adjustment of the equipment and the holding of the reins. It details the good posture when trotting and galloping as well as the transitions which allow you to master all gaits and approach the jump. The Guide concludes with the tools which allow you to pass the Galop®2 and move towards the Galop®3.
