Horse Riding Safety Tips

By Maryl Joop


Your worst nightmare happened again yesterday when your five year old ran in to tell you that his eight year old brother Jimmy just fell off the trampoline and is now crying holding his arm. Quickly, you unceremoniously dropped what you were doing and rushed to his aid, thinking the worst.

Upon arrival, you discover your fears confirmed and within seconds you have Johnny buckled into the minivan on the way to the doctor's office to treat his broken arm. After a brief wait in the waiting room, an x-ray and a few comforting words, the doctor got to work.

Second-Get some good experience with other riders who know about horses. You can get the insides and outs of saddling up, sitting right, and taking over the reins. Also remember the practice makes perfect.

It takes time in the saddle to truly be comfortable. That being said, even the most seasoned rodeo cowboys get bucked off occasionally so never get TOO comfortable.

It also helps to make sure it heals right the first time, limiting the number of times claims are made on your Utah health insurance. Apply these tips to your daily routine and encourage your child to do the same. Balance out your child's diet. Your body functions best when it is given the right number of nutrients.

While you may be able to afford this, remember that you'll be paying a decent amount of money purely for a lack of health insurance, when you could simply put the money towards being covered instead.

Next, focus on calcium and vitamin D. Calcium helps the bone tissue to form solidly. Vitamin D opens up the pores of the bone to allow calcium to pass through. Taken in combination will help the bones to grow back quickly and strong. Vitamin D rich foods include fish, milk, orange juice, supplements, and beef. Other sources of calcium include yogurt, milk, cheese, salmon, almonds and collard greens.

Next, limit excessive use of the limb. Although the limb will be supported by a cast, it will heal quickest as it's receives consistent rest. Wear a sling when appropriate. Apply as little pressure to the bone as possible to disrupt it.

Seventh-Be extra careful when you're homeward bound. This can be an interesting experience because it seems like the horses kind of trudge along when they are heading up the trail, but when it comes to getting back home they go "full steam ahead". Trying to keep up with them can be a daunting task.

Lastly, it takes skill and instruction to become "one" with the horse, but it can be an exhilarating experience for anyone! Make sure that the next time you are riding horses in Utah that you remember these tips and if not, that you are covered by some good medical insurance.
