Wear A Helmet

You may not think your horse will throw you or you will be knocked off, but it can happen. You should always wear a helmet while riding horses. Even the most experienced riders follow this simple safety precaution. You can find a riding helmet online or check your nearest equestrian supply store.

Make Sure The Horse Is Saddled Correctly

If your horse is not saddled correctly, you could fall off the horse or the horse could become uncomfortable and even buck. If you don’t know how to saddle your horse, ask a more experienced rider to help you.

Ride With Others

It is always best to ride with other people. There are many groups that meet up to go on rides. Riding with others will ensure that there is someone around to help or get help in the event of an accident, and most people have more fun riding with others. If you do plan to ride alone, make sure you tell someone where you are riding and when you plan to return from your ride.
