Safety & Survival Program
Riders want to just get out there and 'ride'. WRONG!
They want to trot, and canter up, hills, and gallop. I suggest that by doing this -you could run your horse right into a ground hog hole. And how tragic it would be -if you were the one who's horse stepped in that hole.
Have you ever seen a fox hole? It can be like a stove pipe in the ground, well hidden in the grasses. It must be an 'escape hatch' for the fox. They do not seem to go into that hole, but they do escape. This way the grasses are not disturbed to give the location away, --to predators. You will not see them. They are about 5-6 inches across, and could be deadly --if your horse steps into one, while trotting, or cantering freely across country! How would 'you' fall?
"Well, you see it all the time in the movies. How wonderful it would be, to be so care free, galloping in the wind." You're right! --However, it is ---a distorted picture painted by TV and the movies.
I have been there, done that, seen much, and --heard all of it. (ALMOST!) Accidents happen, because people NEVER seem to learn 'what' can get them hurt!
STQH, -CARES! That is why we developed this program. My own stories are enough to help you realize just how dumb we can all be at times, simply, because we didn't know any better or, --we took a chance!
It is not 'always' safe, to do --as you are told! Just because someone has ridden for years, does NOT mean they are safe to ride with!
STQH Education gives you ability -to know better, --to make better decisions! You will learn to choose your riding companions -a vital learning...
Discuss what we taken for-granted, -things that could get us hurt, or killed! We could start 'here' --with discussion of tragedy or scary times when riding. We could speak about the rider's who break backs, and necks, or simply getting thrown(?) --falling, --being scared to get on a horse again. They say you should get back on --right? Well, let's talk about that. What if the horse was nuts? What if the horse is okay, but the owner or handler was nuts? And 'that' person was taking us out for a ride? Would you get back on that horse? I think not! If you're smart, you'll --walk back! Think more of yourself! (maybe you can trust that horse MORE than the person--?)
Situations happen when riding alone, --or in company. Learn to claim your territory, your working area, your 'comfort zone'. Many do not, and they allow -others --get them into trouble.
CLAIM a 30 ft. safety zone. Start looking around your horse. Be conscious of everything within that 30 ft. circle. It isn't easy to ride safe! You must have eyes, all around your head, to see everything, that 'could' cause a problem.
Soft Touch Quantum --Safety/Survival, gives you the tools, and teaches you HOW-TO use them.

Riding Safety, and Survival Skills, should be implanted, becoming second nature for every rider, before cantering, or jumping!
