Safety Tip When Leading A Horse

Safety Tip When Leading A Horse To Help Avoid Getting Dragged Or Injured.

[@RuRu4402]

Well explained one of the basic safety rules many have never heard about.

[@TheBlancet]

I broke one of my fingers 10 years ago because the horse ran off and I held on to the rope.

[@linarabbah5891]

oh god that must’ve hurt i hope you’re okay now.

[@withanimalsinmind]

Very correct, you never know what or when ur horse will spook. Keep teaching everyone!

[@AA_Equestrian]

Yup, I always do this 😅 Most of last year I had to handle a horse who was always nervous around the indoor arena and this helped a lot 😂

[@show_ponyies]

I always do this my rider instructor told me this at 2 :) thank you for sharing this important information

[@mackanmacport8671]

This is the first thing my mom taught me when I was learning with my first pony! ^^

[@eowyn7179]

Very important!

[@inderpalsingh3224]

Thats really wonderful advice 😊

[@helenkelley8788]

Great sound advice...good job!

[@GuineaGang.]

I just learned this by my trainer yesterday lol

[@oliviabirch-dt6le]

It's very frustrating seeing people at my barn do the first thing while leading ponies in birthday parties (teaching children to do the same). At my old barn, someone lost a finger doing that 😃

[@juanitacruz9873]

Beautiful horse

[@Michellecorneby]

This was one of the first things I was taught when around horses and I am surprised not everyone knows this

[@sophia2474]

This was the first thing we learned, and it’s a good thing too, I could have broken a lot of hand bones lol

[@inktvis6453]

Thank you Dear for.your advice related leading a horse.

[@fluffytail6355]

First thing they taught us in vet school during our horse handling class

[@5star925]

Thank u so much I'm still learning to lead on my cuz horse

[@mollyshort2390]

🎉 good to know thank you 🙏

[@elladoz1966]

TY for sharing 🙂

[@Lidili]

Superb amazing wonderful fascinating interesting beautiful and unbelievable very nice and pleasant video

[@harley1969chuco]

I had to learn the hard way 😮

[@mikeyates7931]

Great tip 👍 here's another one : tie a knot in the end of your lead and grip just above it with your left hand ; it acts as a retaining pommel in your horse rears up or something

[@mecealaoosthuizen526]

Wow l never knew well thx

[@lisagrizzard91]

Absolutely right 👍

[@TrixxiePlaysWHI]

That’s how I do my lead line and he spooked but good thing I didn’t get dragged

[@raylue6273]

This was the first thing i learned but i see people do the loop one in every stables ive been to (in germany). It drives me crazy...

[@NNNovaKing]

The amount of times I got severe rope burn on my palms trying to hold onto the lead rope of spooked horses 😅 RIP fingerprints

[@arethawilson1170]

Thanks

[@user-iwhk78kak9]

omg I thought somebody texted me when the checkmark came up 😭

[@Kneehighsocks]

We were also taught to not hold it close to the halter, and not let it drag on the ground

[@Starstable32]

Ty Sm ❤

[@Ihearthorses7]

Most people having lead ropes and stuff. My horse: follows me around no matter what’s happening. And he never spooks. He is that attached to me😂

[@mohamedabbas1986]

Thank you very much

[@BensonBoonesBiggestFan21]

Thank you

[@clairekettle448]

I admit I made this error helping a friend of mine and ended up with a busted finger and sprained wrist.

[@Miitombo]

I did this naturally when i first started riding because of all the cowboy movies 😅

[@FadeMouse]

the horse i ride is 23 and in the year i’ve known him he has literally NEVER spooked. the owners say he literally hasn’t spooked at anything in the time they’ve owned him, so honestly i just go wild with the lead rope and he just trails along😭 i should probably get to fixing how careless i am in the way i hold it😅

[@Argen30]

Yep mg mom did this once before she was afraid of riding them and my dad had sassy horses and it spooked and my mom had it like that and she broke on of her fingers I told my mom once that the horse spooked on me (just a lil spook) and she thought I fell

[@ambermills5870]

Also use cotton not nylon if you value and part of your hand. Learned that personally. If my rope wouldn’t have been cotton it would’ve been a lot more severe.

[@mayac1438]

I held the rope like that a while ago but it was very loose so i thought i would have time to react if it spooked but when i got into the pasture and closed the gate my hand that was holding the lead rope had that ring and the horse spooked at the gate and i didn't notice so it pulled and my hand got stuck and i had to run a couple steps. After that i always hold it the right way haha my fingers and palm were bruised for 2 weeks.i'm glad it stopped quickly or i wouldve broken my hand 😅

[@mayac1438]

Same thing when you hold the reins if you take them of the neck when u lead btw always hold the end of the reins so they point out from your grip and not your hand through the reins

[@ChampAndJewel]

I used to hold it the first way with my horse a while ago and I ended up really hurting my hand a few times 😭 I always do it correctly now

[@eg-draw]

"... And you just get some burns instead of broken fingera😊"

[@amug3536]

horsey says ok ok I will

[@claudiasainzaguirre2264]

That was actually really use full becados my horses get scared whit EVERY THING

[@abbybutler16]

I know someone who got their thumb pulled off from coiling the leadeope around there hand.

[@Katie-mz2gz]

Well, if you do that, that’s why I keep my hand down whenever I do that so I can just let go and I don’t do it that tight. I do it pretty big so in winter my horse boot nothing happened. Also, very sorry for the audio, correct

[@ultimatenirvanatribute]

Such a simple tip but it's amazing how many instructors don't teach this to newcomers. I learned on accident, horse got spooked and me? Ended up on the ground. Luckily wasn't hurt, more embarrassed than anything.

[@randomconsumer4494]

This is how you should hold any rope under load... never wrap any rope around your hand unless the load is tiny.

[@kanisabah5112]

What about iff someone is on the horse

[@user-bi8gb9jr2e]

❤️❤️❤️

[@SkoZz.]

I mean.. isn't that the first thing we teach to beginners? That's the first thing i learned...

[@bonnytewey6620]

You can lose your fingers that way too

[@shalabhsharma903]

Why it is called as “Line” ? I don’t how and when these words are created and replaced. I always learnt “Leash” or something similar. But “Line”??

[@aleksa-eq]

I’ve always called it a lead 🤷‍♀️

[@aleksa-eq]

I think it depends on where you live

[@shalabhsharma903]

@@aleksa-eq You have also used the word “Lead Line” 😅🤷‍♂️. This all mostly comes from America.

[@user-nb8vs2go5c]

you beautiful sister

[@Dojustdoandbe]

I thought you were Kate Winslet! Except for the accent.

[@sandraknight6802]

Ok but other hand holds bottom of halter

[@monicap1717]

Nylon leads like the one she's holding, are frowned upon as well. Leather and cotton are Recommended, especially for young or beginning equine handlers.

[@cocostokely6390]

I got dragged anyway

[@scarlettefox8478]

Okay but who the heck does coils that small anyway. I use coils like 90% of the time bc of habit, it's what I grew up with and was always taught and saw with others, and we only do like one or two large loops

[@zephyridian]

Lmao I PREFER to be dragged and Injured then let go of my spooked horse! 😂❤ No way in Hell im letting him go on my 1000+ Acre ranch! With woods and Mountains I wont see him in months !! 😂😅

[@Conner_edits]

No hate at all but I don’t think you have to explain it to everyone put it on kids tub

[@paisleeperry2793]

No

[@tammyperrin9777]

It's called a COWBOY LOOP.

[@JSRockyAnderson]

Fist facing up is where you lost me.

[@saxonblau7590]

[@Yedghshsh]
