Here at Ride Safe LLC we take all aspects of equestrian safely seriously. This includes schooling at home or away at a competition. No matter what discipline you ride in everyone knows that warm-up rings at shows can get a bit crazy...and dangerous. So with safety being our number one priority here is a great article share from Practical Horseman Magazine entitled "Lisa Wilcox: Mind Your Manners.
