Subject field(s)
  • Horse Racing and Equestrian Sports
  • Horse Husbandry
DEF

Canter on the outside lead, performed [unintentionally].

CONT

In the false canter (Counter Canter) or the canter on the wrong lead, the horse leads with the outside foreleg instead of the inside foreleg as he should.

CONT

The counter canter refers to the horse's ability to take the unnatural lead. In a circle to the right the horse would counter canter in his left lead, in a circle to the left he’d be on the right lead. When used properly, the counter canter can be a tool to encourage the horse to travel with an improved capacity for straightness, balance and rated cadence or speed... The counter canter or a disunited lead can crop up when a horse is positioned incorrectly for a canter depart or lead change. Make sure you’ve asked for the counter canter when it shows up.

CONT

Melissa Cannon has a lovely horse in Northern Express but today is not their day, the horse losing balance few times during the extended trot work and switching legs during the counter canter before asked.

CONT

Coming out of an extended walk that needed more on it, the horse strikes off into canter on the wrong lead but once Blair swaps his legs over the magic begins ...

OBS

In an intentional counter canter, the horse’s body is upright as the lead leg follows the bridge of the nose, which is tipped ever-so-slightly to the outside. In an accidental wrong lead, the horse’s nose is tipped to the inside of the circle causing the inside shoulder to drop when the lead is picked up. They are very different, even though the footfall is the same.

OBS

The term "counter canter" can refer to both an intentional and an incorrect lead.

Record 8 1987-12-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
CONT

Electrical resistivity fish counters... counting fish by noting changes in the electrical resistivity of water through which they swim was pioneered by Lethlean. The basis of his approach was to apply a low voltage across two volumes of water through which the fish to be counted are constrained to pass and detect the changes in their resistances caused by the presence of the fish... This device [electrical resistivity fish counter] amplifies the "out of balance" voltage caused by the presence of fish, passes this signal through logic circuitry and activates an appropriately labelled digit meter.

Key term(s)
  • conductivity sensing counter
  • conductivity counter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aquaculture
DEF

Appareil électronique utilisé pour recenser le nombre de poissons passant à un endroit précis et qui fonctionne grâce à la différence de conductivité entre l'eau et le poisson.

CONT

Un compteur à résistivité pour poissons [...] fonctionne grâce à la différence de conductivité entre l'eau et le poisson. Les capteurs sont du type «tunnel» ou «canal ouvert». Dans le premier cas on oblige par un ouvrage associé le poisson à traverser un tube de forme circulaire ou prismatique équipé d'électrodes; dans le second cas les électrodes sont disposées sur le fond de la rivière dans le sens transversal, et fixées la plupart du temps sur le parement aval d'un seuil en béton [...] Le principe de mesure est bien connu : [...] la conductivité de la chair du poisson [...] étant différente de la conductivité de l'eau [...], le passage d'un animal entre les électrodes provoque une variation des impédances et par conséquent un déséquilibre du point de mesure. Le signal recueilli est ensuite amplifié et traité par une unité logique.
