Steve Wawryk replied to Barnmice Admin's discussion 'How do you work with a horse that tries to leave the training ring?'
I see this happen with some of my students. Horses are creatures of habit, if you get on and off at the gate they associate that with the place they don't have to work. Change it up; mount in a different area of the arena everytime, break up…

I would look for panic snaps on the cross ties, a quick snap and the horse is released. Never leave a horse unattended for any length in a cross tie and make sure he is trained to stand in cross ties. I like to see that good material are used and…

Hey Steve, Shouldn't the cross ties be secured in such a way that they CAN in fact break away? If your horse freaks in the aisle you want him to able to free himself and not panic or worse, seriously injure himself.

Picking the right boarding stable: Barn safety.

Last week I touched upon the hazards to look for in the pasture your horse will be kept in. Today I want to look at some things to look for when selecting a safe barn to keep your horse in.I don't believe horses are fussy weather a stall or barn is well painted or has fancy brass hooks and handles. If that's what floats your boat go for it it but don't make decor the number one priority in selecting a barn. Once again put the horses safety and well being first.Look for a well ventilated barn,…See More

Picking the right boarding stable. Pasture safety.

In my previous blog I spoke about the importance of a facilities fencing as it relates to the horses safety. I'd like to continue on the subject of horse safety and talk about the pasture and paddock area.Any of you who already own a horse know how quickly a horse can find trouble. They just can't help it because of their curious nature. Eliminating the risks is key to keeping your horse from suffering a serious injury or even death. Over the years I have seen some real messes, I was even once…See More

This looks like a great group, Nothing clears my head better then a riding a good horse in pretty country. I believe all types of riding should for leisure, when it stops becoming fun it's time to hang up the spurs.

Ride for leisure - hacking and trekking

Thumbnail
This group is for those who ride just for leisure. Those who wait for a little spare time to run to the stable and go out hacking in the woods. Those who train their horses just for taking one weekend free and go riding at the seaside.

It can be a concern, but there are so many other things you could worry about with horses that I never give it much thought. If you have your horses close to a road people will always be able to stop and take a look. I am kind of glad people do keep…

Steve, do you ever get concerned about people from the roads having access to the horses in the fields? It's something I've thought of.
