Common Hoss Sense
Our region is right in the cen-
ter of more horse activity than
any other part of the southwest.
I often wonder if this is the rea-
son we hear ot so many acci-
dents involving horses. I doubt
it. Because I ha\e a deep inter-
est in raising, training and rid-
ing horses as well as trail rides,
pack trips, etc.. 1 investigate
every accident I can.
• Nearly always the accident
can be charged to carelessness
to some degree. Sometimes it is
the rider, but more often the
wrangler or trainer has overlook-
ed some precaution he should
have taken.-75 per cent of the
accidents involve one or more
oL-the following: a spooked
horse, panicked rider, loose stir-
rups. cracked ano worn gear, such
as loose billets, broken reeving
straps, loose girts, broken" rejns
and last but not least, dangerous
obstructions in the path of the
horse and rider. .
A horse is a marvelous muss
of bone and muscle with a very
highly developed nervous system.
He cannot use his brain as a hu-
man uses his i>vn. The horse
must depend on,the rider to sup-
ply the brains and reasoning. The
horse is extremely sensitive to
pain and is easily subdued when
man takes advantage of this fact.
But remember, he is bigger than
you and you can not man-handle
him. no matter now strong you
may be. The horse responds to
kind treatment. Beware of the
horse that has been broken in
spirit but has not been trained.
Following are a few suggestions
and pointers that will prevent
many*accidents if practiced.
1. Be alert, stay set for a
sudden spook . A horse has a
straig^nstinct for surv.1^1. His
ancient enemies sprung upon him
at waterholes or from trees and
cliffs. A log beside the trail be-
comes a crouching puma to him.
A piece of paper blowing under
him or the sudden flush of quail
or wild turkey along the trail ap-
pears to him as something huge
and dangerous. Remember the
horse cannot think of reason. His
mind can only hold one thought
at a time. A firm use of the reins
at this time will place pressure
on the horses head in the most
sensitive parts and immediately
put his mind to something else
besides self survival. A mans
voice helps at such a time.
2. Don’t walk up behind a
horse. Those hind feet are a hor- •
se’s main defense. He will drive
out a 400 pound leg at the slight- ■
est impulse with deadly accuracy.
3. Don’t ride up behind an-
other horse, especially a mare or
horse that is a stranger to the
one that you are riding.
4. No matter how well you
know the wrangler, check your
own gear for safety. Slip your
finVwN** under the cinch to make
sure it is snug. Look for worn
or loose straps, reins, stirrups
* and straps. And wranglers, do
not take the experience of the
rider lor granted. Keep an eye on
the new rider. He may not be as
good as he thinks or says he is.
5. Don’t drive your horse
faster than necessary. Never run
him past other riders. Running a
horse over rough or uneven
ground is a hazard, equally as
dangerous us low hanging limbs
of trees and barbed wire fences.
b. Never! Never! Never! get
yourself tied to a horse. The
most gentle ol horses will kick,
paw and drag a rider to death if
he is hung to him. Remember that
a horse's primary instinct for sur-
vival is to get nd ot anything
that is attaehed to him and or
following him closely’. Keep your
feet firmly but free in the stirrups
Be prepared to kick your feet free
in case you cannot stay with a
frantic or falling horse.
7. Last but not least; don’t
discourage the wonderful and
healthy sport of horseback riding
because of the chance involved.
Horseback riding is a safe and
rewarding past-time. Water, ice.
mountain and hunting sports are
much more dangerous by com-
parison. Just use common sense
and be careful. Then many days
of pleasure lie ahead of you on
the trails with all your bones
intact.
