A horse can be an essential part of your workday, but working with horses can also be dangerous. Because a horse is a living creature with a mind of its own, behavior can be inconsistent and potentially dangerous—even for experienced riders.
This Good Day’s Work training course covers the fundamentals of horse and rider safety and the practical habits that help keep you, your co-workers, and your horse safe. Content includes recognizing common riding hazards, understanding how both experience and inexperience can contribute to accidents, identifying higher-risk work situations, and taking proper care of your horse after a ride.
The course also explains why keeping your horse clean and healthy matters for rider safety. Cleaning dirt from the hooves and hide, checking the shoes, and looking for injuries can help prevent irritation and unsafe behavior the next time you ride.
