Horse riding is recognised as a dangerous sport and riding horses out on the roads is particularly dangerous even for those who have a horse who is generally safe and well behaved. The quality of hacking varies a lot throughout the country with some places having safe bridlepaths and lanes to ride on whereas some people are not as fortunate and are forced to ride down busy roads in order to get to the destination.
Irrespective of where you are riding it is important that you are well equipped. Reflective gear can save the life of the horse and the rider not only with traffic but also makes other people aware of you such as hot air balloons and aircraft. Also in the case of an accident it is helpful to any rescuers trying to find a missing horse or rider. There are various items available to buy such as reflective exercise sheets and jackets for riders. Reflective boots work particularly well as they catch drivers eyes as they move.
When riding horses it is also important to wear a riding hat. A person's head when riding is often more than four metres from the ground and to fall from this height can cause serious injury.
Many drivers are not aware of how horses can behave and often they will make sudden movements
Zach Randolph Jersey , drive a bit too close or make a loud noise which can spook the horse. If the rider is well equipped then they are less likely to become injured in a fall.
When hacking out a young or inexperienced horse it is beneficial to hack out with someone else whilst the horse gets used to traffic and noises they haven't seen before. When beginning to hack out alone then you should let someone know where you are going and what time you expect to be back and also make sure you have a mobile phone with you.
There are certain things that you can get the horse used to in the yard without having to be out on the roads, things such as pushchairs

So Rafa Nadal finally lost at Roland Garros after 4 years.
Just when he was in sight and everybody thought he would beat the record set by Bjorn Borg who also won the French Open 4 years in a row he lost to Swede Robin Soderling in 4 unbelievable sets.
I just wonder whether Soderling had been primed and sent by Borg with the mission of taking out Nadal like some kind of terminator.
Having said that you have to say he played a great match.
Although people have to see that Nadal has not been at his best
Vlade Divac Jersey , I still think he would have beaten most players and it was really down to the fact that Soderling was so good that the upset was caused.
He basically did to Nadal what several other players (Andy Murray, Djokovic)
Skal Labissiere Jersey , have threatened to do in the past few months with the one big exception ? He Won!
Not since Tsonga took the game big time to Nadal a couple of years ago at the Australian Open and won, has anyone threatened him with play like we saw today and been victorious (even Federer)?
Well maybe not
Peja Stojakovic Jersey , but I think that the ?how to play and beat Rafa? code is becoming clearer by the day and I now think that more people will start to employ it.
It is now available for all to see and use, if you have the game to be able to execute it (if you don t you better get it).
Angels and Demons?
Watching the match today with interest
Oscar Robertson Jersey , I found it very very difficult to decide who was the crowd favourite.
The angels and demons analogy stuck in my mind throughout the match as I was deciding who the very knowledgeable French Open public had singled out as the good guy (angel) and who was the bad guy (demon).
In fact (in my mind at least), the public?s support swayed from Soderling at the very beginning of the match ? when they thought he was obviously going to lose
Mitch Richmond Jersey , to Nadal, when they began to realise the trouble their great champion was in!
It?s strange how the crowd was almost happy for Nadal to have some stiff resistance as long as he came through and won in the end.
This obviously didn t happen as a strangely ineffective Nadal was bullied and out muscled by the tall Swede Soderling in the same way that Nadal normally bullies and out muscles his opponents.
So
Mike Bibby Jersey , where does that leave the balance of play in the Men s game?
Has this result changed anything?
Is Federer now seen to be right when he said he is waiting to see how Nadal reacts to being the hunted instead of the hunter?
Or was it just fatigue and injury that caused Rafa to be under par?
We know now that Nadal has pulled out of the Queen club event where he is the reigning champion in a bid to be fit for Wimbledon with more knee trouble and this is obviously a worrying sign for him.
He constantly struggles with his knees especially on the hard courts and the clay and grass court seasons normally give him a bit of a break.
But if he is struggling to get through those now it really could be a massive problem.
Unlike Federer, Nadal s style of play does put a tremendous amount of stress on his body (especially his legs and knees) and it would be difficult to see how he could change that.
I did comment a year or so ago that he should consider making changes to his game to stop this sort of thing happening.
And in fact I think he has developed
Marvin Bagley III Jersey , but extreme ball retrieval is a massive part of his game and I fear that there will always be problems around the corner for him.
Mind you, champions are made from strong stuff and the ability to overcome hurdles.
So if we are to look back at Rafa in twenty years time as a significant player in the history of the game he will need to find a way past these problems that is lurking ahead of him.
I hope he can do it
Justin Jackson Jersey , I really do!!
