2 of 3 of our Emergency Dismount/Falling Safety Seminars have been completed so far and we are so proud of how well our students are taking to it and really putting in the effort to learn how to keep themselves as safe as possible.

Our instructor, Abby, grew up doing Martial Arts and is passing on her expertise of break-falls and shoulder-to-hip rolls to our students while discussing importance of technique to keep our bodies as safe as possible when falls happen, in addition to drilling emergency dismount procedure at the halt, walk, and trot.

Thank you to Domino and Spock for being our very helpful and willing schoolies for the students to practice with! We truly have the very best ponies 😇

As equestrians, falling off is bound to happen. Learning how to fall as safely as possible is an essential skill.
