Horseback Riding Etiquette and Safety Rules for Riding Out into the Wild

When riding a horse, it is important to remember that you are in charge of the animal. Horses are prey animals and they can be spooked easily by sudden movements or loud noises. You must stay calm and be aware of your surroundings when out on the trail.

If you are in an area with a lot of vegetation, make sure to keep an eye on your horse so that it does not snap at the branches and get its mouth caught in them. You should also be aware of where your horse's feet are going so that you can avoid stepping on them.

When passing another rider, give plenty of warning before doing so by making sure to let them know what direction you will be coming from and what speed you will be traveling at. If possible, try to pass from behind or from their side as this will help keep their attention focused forward instead of off to the side.
