Keeping your Horse Safe when Riding

When a horse is well trained and happy they are great to ride. For the most part horses enjoy being ridden as well.

While you are riding your horse, there are several things that you are going to want to do to make sure that he stays safe and healthy so that you can continue to ride him for a long time to come.

You want to spend lots of time working with your horse to make sure that he understands what you want and how it feels when you ride him. You also want to spend a lot of time just being with your horse - bonding is a great way to make your rides even smoother.

Never ask too much of your horse. You want to be sure that he is always comfortable doing what you ask him to do, and you have to be sure that you are comfortable with what he does.

This is very important - if you are not comfortable, you are going to find that both you and your horse might be forced to take chances, and this will not be good for either of you. This could be very dangerous. You want to be sure that you never have a horse do something he isn’t comfortable with.

When you are riding your horse, be sure to always use the things that are sanctioned for use with horses.

Make sure that the equipment you are using is strong and isn’t going to fall apart, and make sure that you are able to attach the saddle and the other pieces to him so that you know that they are done correctly and aren’t going to hurt him at all.

Always be careful where you are going, and always watch the terrain to make sure that you aren’t doing anything that might be dangerous for your horse. You want to be sure you aren’t leading your horse somewhere that he could hurt himself.
