Abstract

An instructional system for placing headgear on an animal such as a horse including a headgear assembly such as a halter or bridle, wherein the headgear assembly further includes multiple interconnected structural components; and a plurality of individual color-coded sleeves releasably mounted on certain of the independent interconnected components, wherein the color of each of the color-coded member corresponds both to a predetermined location on the head of the animal and to a particular step in a predetermined method for placing the headgear assembly on the head of the animal.

Claims

1. An instructional system for placing headgear on an animal, comprising:

(a) a headgear assembly, wherein the headgear assembly further includes multiple interconnected structural components; and

(b) a plurality of color-coded members releasably mounted on certain of the independent interconnected components, wherein the color of each of the color-coded member corresponds both to a predetermined location on the head of the animal and to a particular step in a predetermined method for placing the headgear assembly on the head of the animal.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the headgear assembly is a horse halter.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the headgear assembly is a horse bridle.

4. An instructional system for placing headgear on an animal, comprising:

(a) a headgear assembly, wherein the headgear assembly further includes multiple interconnected structural components, and wherein the multiple interconnected structural components further include;

a crownpiece;

a first cheekpiece;

a second cheekpiece;

a noseband;

a throatlatch; and

a connecting strap disposed between the noseband and the throatlatch; and

(b) a plurality of color-coded members releasably mounted on certain of the interconnected components, wherein the color of each of the color-coded member corresponds both to a predetermined location on the head of the animal and to a particular step in a predetermined method for placing the headgear assembly on the head of the animal.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein a green color-coded member bearing the phrase “

behind head”

is mounted on the crownpiece.

6. The system of claim 4, wherein a red color-coded member bearing the word “

right”

is mounted on the first cheekpiece and a blue color-coded member bearing the word “

left”

is mounted on the second cheekpiece.

7. The system of claim 4, wherein a yellow color-coded member bearing the word “

nose”

is mounted on the top portion of the noseband.

8. The system of claim 4, wherein an orange color-coded member bearing the word “

chin”

is mounted on the connecting strap.

9. The system of claim 4, wherein a grey color-coded member bearing the word “

hook”

is mounted on a portion of the throatlatch.

10. The system of claim 4, wherein the headgear assembly is a horse halter.

11. The system of claim 4, wherein the headgear assembly is a horse bridle.

12. An instructional system for placing headgear on an animal, comprising:

(a) a headgear assembly, wherein the headgear assembly further includes multiple interconnected structural components, and wherein the multiple interconnected structural components further include;

a crownpiece;

a browband;

a throatlatch;

a noseband;

a first cheekpiece having a first bit ring attached thereto;

a second cheekpiece having a second bit ring attached thereto;

a first rein attached to the first bit ring; and

a second rein attached to the second bit ring; and

(b) a plurality of color-coded members releasably mounted on certain of the interconnected components, wherein the color of each of the color-coded member corresponds both to a predetermined location on the head of the animal and to a particular step in a predetermined method for placing the headgear assembly on the head of the animal.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein a green color-coded member bearing the phrase “

behind head”

is mounted on the crownpiece.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein a red color-coded member bearing the word “

right”

is mounted on the first cheekpiece and a blue color-coded member bearing the word “

left”

is mounted on the second cheekpiece.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein a yellow color-coded member bearing the word “

forehead”

is mounted on the browband.
