Homer’s 50 Nifty Safety Tips for Horses and Their Humans
Some people say horses are accidents waiting to happen. We don’t mean to be difficult. We’re just curious and some of us are rather accident prone. In honor of National Animal Safety and Protection Month, I’ve gathered some tips covering barn and pasture safety as well as trailering – all to help you keep you and your equine friends out of as much trouble as possible. Welcome to Homer’s 50 Nifty Safety Tips.
Every Ride. Every Time.
International Helmet Awareness Day is Sept. 12-13
Horses are prey animals. We can’t help it if we suddenly spook or bolt or take off when we are frightened. Or if we get stung by a wasp. Or the horse in the paddock next to the arena gets scared and we are certain we should be too. We certainly don’t want to hurt our humans, but our reflexes are written into our DNA. We can’t help ourselves.
Which is why you should wear a helmet.
Every ride. Every time.
