Horses Safely (18 minute video)
By understanding life from the horse's point of view, you can learn to anticipate and safely react to your horse's natural instincts. This video demonstrates safe and proper methods for approaching, haltering, leading, tying and general handling.
This program is a cooperative effort of equine and safety specialists from the University of Idaho, the University of Nevada, Reno, and Washington State University. It is a must for riders, instructors, horse camp counselors, and anyone involved with youth and horses.
