Dropline
A dropline is a commercial fishing rig consisting of a long fishing line set vertically down into the water, with a series of baited hooks attached to the ends of side-branching secondary lines called snoods. Dropline fishing, or droplining, is a specialized angling technique.
Droplines may be set either down underwater trenches or just into the open water column. They have a weight at the bottom of the line and are fixed to the water surface at least one float at the top. They are usually not as long as longlines and have fewer hooks.
Droplines can be contrasted with trotlines. Whereas a dropline has a series of hooks suspended sideways off a vertical mainline, a trotline has a series of hooks suspended vertically off a horizontal mainline.
Conservation impacts[edit]
A concern for marine conservation is that droplines are able to access areas that are otherwise natural fish refuges, such as deep sea canyons and seamounts.[1]
The Australian Marine Conservation Society rates dropline fishing as having a "moderate impact" on wildlife and a "low impact" on marine habitats.[1]
Droplines have the potential to interact with orcas (killer whales). There is predation by orcas on commercial longline and dropline fish catches, including around Tasmania,[1] Bering Sea and Prince William Sound areas,[2] causing significant financial loss to commercial fishers, and threat to orcas, which can become caught or entangled, exposed to ship strikes when moving or migrating, or suffer retaliation from fishers. Retaliation in response to predation on fish catches in previous decades has included shooting and harpooning of orcas.[2][3]

Lesson Procedure
1. Introduction of Self/Students: [name tags will be available; have each member write their name and put on their name tags as they join the group]
“Good morning, my name is _________ and I am a ____certified member from ______Pony Club or Riding Center. I’d like to go around and have each of you introduce yourself, and tell us if you have taken a Pony Club Certification yet, or if you are Unrated.”
[Depending on the number present, and the time allotment, you might ask each them if they have begun Pony Club mounted lessons yet, have they ridden prior to joining Pony Club, and if they have begun preparing for their D-1 Certification]
2. Verbalize Objective of Lesson “Today we are going to learn why and when you groom your pony. We will introduce the different grooming tools, and the steps that you will take in grooming your pony”
3. Ask Prior Knowledge of Topic
“How many of you have groomed your mount? Did you have help?
Who can share with us some of the reasons for grooming your pony?” [various responses, then summarize:]
.
“Yes, all of those reasons are correct. We groom for the purpose of cleaning the pony and making him look nice and feel comfortable, checking for injuries or skin problems, and preventing sores which might occur if there is dirt under the tack. Grooming also helps condition the skin and makes the coat shiny, promotes circulation of the blood, and it is a great time to bond with your mount.
When should you groom? [Various responses] Yes, it is ideal to groom him every day, even if he is not ridden. If you don’t ride, and don’t have time to groom, at least look him over! It is essential to groom him before he is saddled, and again, after he has been ridden.”
4. Demonstrate/Discussion: [The pony should be a breakaway halter in cross-ties or tied securely with a quick release knot.]
“I have a grooming box with the different tools that you will need to groom your pony properly and I am going to review them as I use them.
Using the hoof pick, pick out dirt or manure from around frog, cleft and sole. Check for loose shoes or clinches. Use a brush to clean outside of hoof wall.
Next, we use the rubber or plastic currycomb or ‘grooma’ type tool will loosen caked-on mud and stimulate skin. Use in a circular motion or side to side. Metal curry combs can be used for cleaning brushes, but not on your pony’s skin, as they are too sharp.
After we have finished loosening the dried mud, a Dandy brush or ‘hard brush” is used to brush away heavy dirt and dirt loosened by the currycomb. Start at the neck, and move backwards, using short, snappy stokes to flick away dirt. This is especially useful for long coats and pastured ponies. Be careful in sensitive areas and where the pony has been clipped. Clean the brush periodically as you work by brushing it against the currycomb.
Next we use the Body brush (a soft brush) to clean away dust and scurf (dried sweat and dandruff). Start on neck and use short, firm stokes in the direction of the hair. This brush is the best tool to get your pony really clean!
Using your fingers, pick out debris (such as small sticks, twigs, burrs, shavings) from the mane and tail. Separate tangles by hand, a small section at a time. Using a mane brush, sturdy hairbrush or dandy brush, start at the bottom and work up, trying not to pull or break hairs. Please understand that a metal mane-pulling comb is to be used only for the purpose of pulling or shortening the mane. Do not use it for combing, as it will tear out too many hairs. Be sure to stand off to one side while working on the tail.
Rub the coat using a rub rag or towel with long, firm strokes in the direction of the hair to bring out the oils and make it shiny.
Now we clean the pony’s head and face with a small, soft face brush
Next, we use a damp sponge, cotton balls or baby wipes to clean the eyelids, nose and lips. Always
start with the eyes, so that you don’t introduce dirt into the eyes
Be sure to use a separate sponge or baby wipes to clean the dock and sheath/udder area. If you
use sponges for cleaning the eyes/nose/lips and the dock/udder, have the sponges labeled ‘face’
and ‘dock’ so you don’t mix them up.
Use a damp sponge to wet the roots of the mane and brush it to the right side of the neck”
5. Application of the activity: “Now, you are going to have the opportunity to groom these two ponies. We have about ___minutes left for you to get these ponies looking nice!” Assign them to the ponies, in
pairs, to see if they can, with supervision, remember the steps in grooming. Have a contest, not to see who can finish the fastest, but who will end up with the cleanest pony. Make suggestions if necessary and ask them question as they work, to review and guide them correctly.
6. Conclusion: “Let’s talk about the steps involved in grooming your pony. Based on what we learned today, who would like to remind us what we do first? Next? Then?” [Continue on until you get to the end, giving the others the opportunity to correct omissions or out-of-order responses. Make the corrections yourself if you are short of time.]
“Does anybody have any questions?
I want to thank you for coming today, and for your attention and participation. I have a handout for you on grooming steps and when and why to groom. With time, you will all get quite proficient at grooming your ponies. Enjoy this special time with them!”
Grooming Your Pony
There are several reasons to groom your pony:
• To clean him and make him look nice and feel comfortable. • To check him over carefully for injuries and skin problems.
• To prevent sores from dirt under the tack when you ride him. • To condition his skin and make his coat shine.
• To promote good circulation of the blood.
When a pony should be groomed
Your pony should be groomed or at least checked over every day, whether he is ridden or not.
He must be cleaned before he is saddled to prevent dirt from causing saddle and girth sores.
He should be brushed smooth after he has been ridden to remove sweat and any dirt, especially under the saddle and pad.
Steps in grooming your mount

1. Pick out his feet with the hoof pick.
2. Use the rubber or plastic currycomb to rub the skin in circles or from side to side, starting at the top of the neck and working back and down.
3. Starting at the top of the neck, brush the coat with the dandy brush (or stiff brush) in the direction the hair grows. Clean the brush every
few strokes by scraping it over a currycomb.
4. The body brush (soft brush) is used with short, firm strokes the way the hair grows. 5. Use a soft brush or finishing brush, with long, soft bristles, to remove dust.
6. Brush the mane and tail starting at the bottom.
7. A rub rag or folded towel is rubbed over the coat to make it sleek and shiny.
8. Use a damp sponge, cotton ball, or disposable wipe to clean the eyelids, nostrils, and muzzle. You can also gently clean inside the ears. Use another sponge or disposable wipe to clean underneath the tail and around the sheath or the udder.
9. If your pony still has manure or grass stains after you finish grooming, remove the spots by rubbing them with a damp towel, shampooing them, or rubbing them with a cactus cloth.
10. You may paint hoof dressing around the coronet and across the heels of the feet.
11. For a final touch, wet your water brush and dampen the roots of the mane, and brush it neatly over to the right side of the neck.
