Checking the fields
08/26/2008 01:09A great way to get to know the horses and complete an important task at the same time is:
Walk through the pastures, observe the condition of horses, make notes of any concerns, and bring a brush with you. This is a great way to bond. Also if you notice some need fly masks if you can put fly masks on the ones that need it.
Be safe: Do not go into pastures with out safe shoes, (no thongs)
Always wear a helmet and a shoe with a heel when riding.
Make sure you have been given the herd safety talk from an experienced volunteer.
