Caring for and riding a horse can bring countless hours of enjoyment and pleasure. The flighty nature of horses makes them useful to us, because we can channel that flight instinct down the racetrack, over fences, around barrels, after a steer, across streams, or into the collar of a harness. However, this flight instinct may also cause injuries to humans and to the horse itself. Through his more than 30 years in equine veterinary practice, and a lifetime as a horseman, Dr. Miller has learned many techniques for safely handling, treating, training and riding horses – methods that could save horse or owner from serious injury or even death! These safety techniques are taught in Safer Horsemanship . You’ll learn how to safely catch, halter and lead a horse, the three points of contact that will prevent you from being stepped upon or kicked while working on the ground with your horse, how to examine a horse’s teeth & ears, & administer eye medication. The safe methods of paste worming, taking a temperature and sheath cleaning are detailed, as well as ways to prevent tying and halter accidents. Riding safety is also addressed in Safer Horsemanship, as Dr. Miller shows you how he tacks up, mounts and dismounts, and trains his horses to be supple and always willing to stop. The lessons conclude with the proper sequence of un-tacking, and turning your horse loose in its stall or corral. Safer Horsemanship should be studied by everyone who is involved with horses! This information is invaluable for the horse enthusiast who wants a lifetime of safely enjoying horses.
