There's always a lot to consider when riding a horse, especially outdoors, whether it's in an outdoor ring or on the trail. Just remember, the horse comes first.

Unforgiving surfaces make horses more susceptible to hoof bruises and other concussive injuries. Here's how to identify and deal with hard ground this summer.

Things to keep in mind.

🚨 Common mistakes in large animal rescues include:

-Using a horse’s head or tail as a handle
-Standing in the kick zone or escape path
-Trying to force a frightened horse to move
-Approaching without understanding flight behaviour

Well-meaning actions can lead to serious injuries for both people and horses.

Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

’s On-Demand Large Animal Emergency Rescue (LAER) Awareness Course helps horse owners understand safe response basics and how to support trained responders.
