Horse riding can be a safe and extremely rewarding hobby when the rider takes steps to
minimize risks. As with any of the most enjoyable activities in life, it is impossible to
eliminate all risks. But, by educating yourself to equestrian safety, the possibility of injury
can be greatly reduced.

Riding Lessons
Inexperienced riders should get lessons from a professional. Riding lessons can be
somewhat expensive, but well worth it for increased riding safety. You can reduce the cost
by finding a lesson partner on your own skill level. Fallowfield offers reduced rates for
groups of two or more students.

Always Wear A Helmet
Always wear a properly fitted ASTM/SEI certified equestrian riding helmet. Equestrian
helmets are different than bicycle helmets. Equestrian helmets are designed for impact
to the back of the head. Bicycle helmets are designed for front or side injuries. The
majority of head injuries from horse riding accidents are to the back of the
head.

Stirrup Safety
Wear a boot with a good heel to keep your foot from slipping through the stirrups. Not being
able to get your foot free during a mishap is a terrifying experience and can result in the rider
being dragged. As an additional precaution, you can prevent dragging accidents by using a
safety stirrup, such as peacock stirrups, break away stirrups or Toe Stoppers. Toe Stoppers
are a stirrup attachment that prevent the foot from slipping through that can be fitted to any
stirrup style.

Stay Alert
It’s easy when you're riding along, chatting to your riding buddies on a beautiful day on the
trail to forget that you’re guiding your horse; not the other way around. You may pay less
attention. This can be very dangerous as your reaction time will be delayed by critical
seconds. Stay alert and attentive at all times while riding, constantly aware of the
environment.
