*** Safety Tips for Horse Riders ***, Thu 17th Jun, 2021

Whilst we try and deny it, horse riding, driving or caring for our horses are dangerous activities. Many of us have been injured or seen friends and family we love injured.

With forethought before going to the paddock or arena, many accidents could be avoided or their consequence reduced. Here are some quick and easy tips to think about before you go on your next ride.

• Equipment - Make sure you have the appropriate equipment for the activity. Ensure it is maintained and fitted to the horse correctly.
• Your horse - Like us, horses can be uncomfortable or unaccustomed in different situations. Make sure your horse is rained and prepared for the activity you are undertaking. If you are unsure, get in touch with a local trainer or coach to help you achieve your riding goals. 
• Be aware of surroundings - Keep an eye out for things going on around you. Including, horses, other animals especially dogs, cars, people, tree brenches and other dangerous surroundings.
• Don't Ride Alone - Ride with a friend, so you can look after each other if something goes wrong. If you are riding alone. carry your phone and use an app like Horse Rider SOS. If you fall off and stop moving the app will send a notification with your location to your designated emergency contact.
