Ensure no sharp objects are in your pony's field or stable.
Make sure your fencing is safe and pony proof!
Always tidy up forks, tack and all other equipment after use.
Do not leave lying around for them to get tangled up in.
Always tie your pony up to a piece of string attached to the stable
or trailer, so it will easily snap if your pony tries to pull away.
Always check a new riding area before setting off on your pony to
make sure there are no hidden problems, like rabbit holes, barbed
wire or disused machinery.
Make sure your jumps and games equipment are in good condition
so not likely to break and hurt your pony if he catches one of them.
Get your trailer or lorry regularly checked to make sure the floor
is strong.
Remember ponies with red ribbons kick and green ribbons are
young so keep out of their way at shows or meetings.
Ensure you know your highway code before hacking out on
the road.
Always wear high visibility clothing when riding out on the
road in winter.
Be safe and be seen!
