Practice the vet check at
home.
Trotting out
make lanes out of tape,
get strangers to handle the horse
pretending to do a vet check
and my biggest one is take temps
incase the ride vet decides temping is a good idea
Had 3 horses at a ride I worked just
about kill us trying to take their temp
The best advice I was given when I
first started was
"There are 2 ways to win at this
sport
1. Ride like hell and plan on
replacing horses because you will injure them
2. Take your time , do your homework
(LSD) , condition properly and ride the same horse successfully for miles and
years"
other advice
3. Ride to the horses ability on that
day
4. Never push to the grey
area
5. race only against yourself, if you
top ten or win it is a bonus
