Tips and Tricks to Keep You Safe on the Trail 

In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to have a safe, fun, and connected trail ride with your horse.

Inside this episode, we cover:

  • Why trail riding is not “just trail riding”
  • The real reason so many people end up injured on the trail
  • How to build muscle memory that kicks in when sh*t hits the fan
  • What groundwork you need before hitting the saddle
  • Why hind end control matters way more than you think
  • How to do a quick pre-ride check that sets you up for success
  • Why wearing a helmet isn’t fear—it’s respect


Staying safe out on the trail comes down to partnership, communication, and mutual trust.
