Angry letter

Dear miss leaser,

                I am a horse owner and board at a facility. When a person is already in the ring working then they have dominance there. If you come into the ring during a lesson then you must stay out of the way of it. By staying out of the way, go to the half ring on the other side of where they are not working or if they are using the full ring then stay away from the horse that is already working. When it comes to the boarders and leasers there is a little different of a rule. If the horse that is already in there and is doing half ring then you ask them politely to stop for a minute so you can get to the other side of the ring. If they are using the whole ring then just stay to the wall and make sure you stay out of the way of the horse as it comes past you. You may never know if that horse bites, kicks, or has no problems with you. This is a safety rule. If a horse is being lunged then the same rule applies. The horse could kick from running or just be faster than you or your horse would like to go. Horses can be very competitive so you have to know your horse and the rules of the ring. If you add things to the ring then depending on where they are this rule can change just slightly. If they are jumping then just stay out of the horses path. If they are using trotting polls then same thing, stay out of the way or if u want to use them then stay far enough back behind them. Horses can be predictable and unpredictable. It is are job as riders to work with these animals and find out their unpredictable quarks and help then with is so it does not become dangerous for you or other horses around them. Once you have mastered that connection then that’s where the fun comes into play. You can then experiment with you and your horse.

Sincerely,

Tucker’s owner
