At any time you are dismounted or leading the horse, be cautious of the stirrups catching on objects. Use judgment when turning a horse loose. Lead completely through the gate or door and turn the horse around to face the direction from which you have just entered. Then release the lead shank or remove the halter or bridle. Avoid letting a horse bolt away from you when released.
Good habits prevent accidents.
Avoid using of excessively long lead ropes so as to prevent you from becoming entangled. Watch the coils when using lariats or lunge lines. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved. Privacy policy .
