- When
near the horse, stay in the safe zone by the left shoulder and
maintain three points of contact.
- Never wrap the lead rope around your hand. Either
form a loop or carry it straight through your fingers.
- When leading, always maintain a safe pace and walking
distance from the horse. Watch your step, not the horse; tripping
or stumbling
could startle it.
- Don’t let the horse crowd you, teach it to
respect your space.
- If a horse does crowd you, often just twitching
the lead rope from
side to side a few times will make it back away.
