Basic Horse Handling for the Veterinary Technician

Looking to get started in equine medicine but have little to no experience? This video is the one for you! Kendra goes over the very basics of horse safety and handling. Start with learning how to safely & correctly approach a horse to place a halter on them. Learn how to correctly tie a rope halter and personal safety when using a buckle halter. The correct way to hold a lead rope and lead a horse are also gone over in this video. Finally, we talk about where to stand during a physical exam for the safety of yourself and the examiner.

Nice video., You look like a jockey 🏇 with that horse.

You would fail instantly fail your exam in the UK because you was on her right to catch her. We’re taught to never approach from right.

[@luciepyle4491]

lol who cares she's not in the UK. that also doesn't actually matter

[@getsetvet6527]

she did say multiple times that it's important to always approach from the left...which is correct. The only issue I had was the way she placed the halter. throwing the top piece over smacks them in the neck, she should reach over the neck and then scoop on the nose piece.

[@HoneyG19902004]

@@getsetvet6527 she’s actually correct you should never reach over we’re taught that in exams also. You throw over so you can catch as it swings round.

[@getsetvet6527]

@@HoneyG19902004 not according to MSU college of veterinary medicine. But I guess this is a good example that everyone has variation, but the reason for the method of placing the nose peice last gives better control and the horse is less likely to pull away or out of it as you're trying to put the halter on. It also, like i said, doesn't smack them in the face and make them irritated and more difficult to work with.
