The horse is stronger than you so don't try to pull her. Never wrap the lead shank or reins around your hand, wrist or body. A knot at the end of the lead shank aids in maintaining a secure grip when needed for control. Never drape lead shank or reins across your shoulders or neck. Don't wear jewelry around horses.
Rings can cut deeply into fingers and bracelets can get caught in reins or lead lines.
Dangling earrings are particularly dangerous. Be extremely cautious when leading a horse through narrow openings, such as a door. Be certain you have firm control and step through first. Step through quickly and get to one side to avoid being crowded. At any time you are dismounted or leading the horse, be cautious of the stirrups catching on objects.
