when we go horse ridding everyone is required to wear a helmet or they dont go

DO: Memorize the plants on this list. They are poisonous to horses!

@11332g While I am all about rider safety, I still think it's pretty harsh telling another rider what to wear. If it's a club and those are rules, fine. Otherwise, have release forms handy and just enjoy the ride.

Just saying.

@InsanityRefined Just don't let him do it... he's testing you.

@Superponygurl same :) but i also ride western out hacking...love cross-country though :D x

@InsanityRefined you could always try grass reins...i used to use them on my ponies when i wasn't strong enough to get their heads back up...they just prevent the horse getting their head low enough to eat :) hope i helped x

This is really helpful! Though I was wondering, everytime I ride my stallion into grassy area's, he decides to stop and eat. D: Is there a way to get him out of the habit?

[Superponygurl]

Yeah keep saftey in line but dont wear a helmet, thats clever. English riding is by far the best, i event!
