Safety tips - things you've learned

NEW TIP! Learned today.

If you think you need to sneeze just wait and get it out of your system, do not pick out feet. Otherwise the (clearly 'Evil Genius' sneeze) waits until the prime moment for you to uncontrollably headbutt a hoof, spook horse and bruise various parts of your body.
 
Never feed one horse in a field with others in there. Take it outside the gate and hold it on a leadrope.

If you have your horses on your own land and know them, they develop a pecking order. It's possible to easily feed a herd if you follow this order when you give out the food. I couldn't possibly remove mine one at a time to feed, I'd be there all morning lol. But the rule is, if one has food, they all do. Hard to do this on DIY livery if they share a field.

Sorry, Illusion, this made me chuckle!
Especially as I sneezed whilst riding Sunday and spooked the horse too :D hope you're OK though.
