3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Daily Grooming
Groom before every ride — it checks for injuries and builds trust.
Hoof Pick Routine
Pick hooves daily and check for stones, thrush, or abscess signs.
Fresh Water Always
Provide clean water before and after riding — dehydration causes colic risk.
Safety Notes
- Always wear an approved helmet when mounted.
- Approach horses from the side, never from behind — they have a blind spot directly behind them.
