Always untie the horse before removing the halter. Always tie to a secure object. Never tie to a fence rail or gates. Tie only to fence posts, hitching posts, or tie rails. General Ground Handling Considerations Be calm, collective and confident around horses.
Nervous handlers cause nervous and unsafe horses.
Wear a correctly fitted safety helmet with chin strap. Wear clothing that is safe. Clothes that fit too tight or too loose can be a danger. Wear proper foot gear that will protect your feet. Never wear tennis shoes, sandals, or go barefooted.
