Equestrian Safety

By Bayard Fox

How can horseback riding accidents be minimized?

There is a great deal more to safety in horseback riding than just wearing a hard hat though that is certainly basic.

Approach your Horse using Three Ps of Horse Training

January 10, 2012 · Posted in horse riding · Comment 

When you wish to train a horse you’ll have to catch it first. This sounds simple enough, but if this is your first attempt at doing so it can be surprisingly frustrating. This is actually the most important step of all in training. The trust foundation is laid in this step. No matter what you do with any horse at any stage of training, remember the basic 3 p’s- patience, persistence, and positive reinforcement. These three training elements work together and are relevant with each step of training along the way.

The most efficient way to begin the approach is to have the horse in an enclosure of easily manageable size. A round pen is ideal, but if you don’t have one a paddock or other large fenced enclosure will work.

Begin by approaching the enclosure with a casual demeanour. Do your very best to relax and give the impression of calm. Leave your life’s stress outside the pen. Since horses are prey animals, they are easily intimidated by anyone or anything that emits stress or aggression of any kind. This represents a possible threat and the last thing you want is for your horse to see you as a threat. Trust must be built between the two of you.
