4

Demostrar y explicar un mínimo de cinco normas de seguridad para acercarse y guiar un caballo.

1. Never approach a horse from the backside. A horse can not see you from straight behind and may startle and kick you. Approach from the side or front. Be sure it knows that you are there. If in a stall, knock on some wood softly or whistle, to let him know that you are there.
2. Stand to the left side of the horse's head when leading - at the shoulder is too far back. Keep an arms distance away so the horse doesn't step on you.
3. If the rope has a chain on the end, hold the rope below the chain. If you were to hold the chain and the horse pulls it through your hand, it can injure your hand. Hold the extra rope in the left hand, figure-eight style. Do not coil or loop the rope around your hand, you don't want to get tangled if the horse bolts.
4. When turning right, lean or push into the horse, so it can't step on you as easily. To stop, pull back.
5. Avoid excessively long lead ropes, you can become entangled in an emergency.
6. Use a quick release knot when tying the horse. Never tie below the horses' withers. Tie to objects that are strong enough to hold if the horse pulls back.

5

Demostrar y explicar un mínimo de cinco normas de seguridad para trabajar alrededor de los caballos.

1. Never go around the back, unless you are at least 3 feet away, or you are very close with your hand on the horse's flank.
2. Don't ride when there's lightning, because some horses can be spooked easily.
3. Do not run around the horse.
4. Don't wrap the reigns or lead rope around your hands because the horse may run and your hands can easily be hurt.
5. Never go under the neck of a horse.
6. Don't ride a horse in the barn.
7. Never sit or kneel while grooming.
8. If your horse bolts, turn it in a circle until the circle is small and the horse stops.
9. Always use a quick release knot or a panic snap to tie your horse so you can release it quickly if needed.
10. Always wear shoes with a heel while riding. No flip flops, or open-toed shoes. Cowboy boots are recommended.

10

Demostrar y explicar cinco normas de seguridad en los senderos, incluyendo las siguientes:

10a

Estar atento al líder y alerta al peligro

Always pay attention. Remember that the horse plus you are much taller than just you are, so watch for overhead obstacles. Also the horse is bigger than just you, so you need to choose a path that the horse and you will fit through. Rough ground and rocks can cause the horse to trip and fall so be careful.

10b

Usar correctamente la distancia

When spacing, look between the horse's ears and you should be able to see the legs of the horse in front of you. If not, you are too close. If you are too close you will not be able to stop safely in an emergency.

10c

No dejar que el caballo coma a lo largo del sendero

The bit will get all messy if that happens. Also, you don't know what grows along the trail and if it is good for your horse.

10d

Nunca ir más rápido que caminando por las superficies pavimentadas

10e

Siempre caminar con el caballo al acercarse o salir de un grupo de jinetes

Walking your horse into a group, or when leaving the group, will reduce the chance of spooking other horses and causing other unintended consequences. Do NOT do like you see in the western movies and ride into a group at full speed.

10f

Usar la posición correcta para las colinas y los obstáculos

11

Dar un paseo en un sendero por un mínimo de tres horas acumuladas siguiendo todas las normas de seguridad y el uso de la posición correcta.

The practical part of the honor, and the fun reason we are learning about horses.
