Horse Riding Safety Tips

By Maryl Joop


You are definitely not the only one who has heard about someone being kicked or bucked off a horse. When worse comes to worse when you are on your next horse riding excursion in Utah having good medical insurance can be a life-saver. Prevention is key though, so here are some tips to having fun and riding safe.

First-Know your skill level and match it to the horse you are going to ride. Some horses are slower, giddier, flightier, basically they are like people and have their own personalities. So think of it like a date and match yourself right based on personality.

You risk financial disaster The biggest reason you should pay for health insurance is to protect your finances. While modern medicine has made some amazing strides recently, the treatments that can save a life or heal a serious condition are rarely cheap. Even though you may feel fine now, you have no idea if you will get in an accident or contract a severe illness later down the road.

Within a few hours you found yourself back at the computer looking up information on how to increase the healing process. Well you've come to the right place. There are a number of things that you can do as a parent to encourage the bone to heal. It would be nice to help him get back on his feet sooner as no parent wants to see their kid suffer.

You may need to pay a fine With new health care regulations coming into effect, a lack of health insurance by January 1, 2014 carries an automatic tax of 1% of your annual income. This might not seem like much, but the tax will increase to 2.5% of your annual income in 2016.

Fourth-Make sure you have some sturdy boots and a thick pair of jeans. We all know how the stereotypical cowboy looks like. There is a reason for that. For instance that bandana you thought was for looks is actually for covering their mouths on the dusty trail and those leather boots with little to no traction are for slipping in and out of the stirrups. Thick jeans help keep your pants from wearing out and getting all ripped up when you're on the go with your horse.

Fifth-Remember that the more speed the more prone you are to getting yourself into trouble. Speed makes it so the rider has a harder time matching what the horse is doing. This can dismount even experienced riders in a hurry.

Sixth- Make sure your saddle is on correctly. There are so many different straps and harnesses used when saddling up. It is easy to be the one who rushes things just to get out on the trail. Don't fool yourself into thinking that this is a good idea. It takes time and attention to get things done right and it is well worth the safety.

Signing up for health care can take time Sometimes people think that they can simply sign up for a health care plan once they start to feel sick. However, health care plans often have rules about when consumers can purchase their plan. Signing up for health insurance on your smart phone as you drive to the hospital might seem appealing, but it's not a reality.

Balance out Jimmy's diet, be sure that he is getting enough calcium and vitamin D for his bones, and make sure it is always resting. He's less likely to experience complications or lengthened treatment that would cause him an inconvenience and involve your Utah health insurance.
