Everyone wants to be safe around horses, even the daredevils. No one comes to the barn with the hope of falling off, getting stepped on, or any other injury happening, but still they do.
Getting use to the flow of a horse show takes some time, so plan to spend some extra hours at your first show. Moms, bring a book, and dads, bring a chair for a nap. Once your kid gets the show bug just prepare, you’re going to be here awhile.
