The preparation and use of recreational and sports horses
KOČANDRLOVÁ, Barbora
The bachelor´s thesis deals with the preparation and use of recreational and sports horses. The recreational horses are mainly used for entertainment, riding or leisure (hobby) competitions whereas sports horses (show jumping horses, dressage horses) are used primarily for a certain discipline in which they compete. In the practical part of the thesis, occupational and leisure activities show jumping horses, dressage horses and recreational horses are mentioned. The subject of my observation was the riding regime, that took place between May and August. The activities that the horses were engaged in were evaluated on the basis of the percentage distribution of each work: fieldwork, the riding area, jumping, work on the lunge, work from the ground, competitions and relaxation time of horses. In the detailed analysis, we can see how many hours the horses spent in the given activity through the period of four months. It was found that the fieldwork was the most common physical activity of recreational horses (11 days/horse/month). The most common activity the sports horses were engaged in was work in the riding area (show jumping 7.8 days/horse/month, dressage 7.9 days/horse/month). All groups of horses spent the least amount of time on working from the ground (recreational 0.1 days/horse/month, show jumping 0.3 days/horse/month, dressage 0.1 days/horse/month).
