Why do i need Horse float Education?
-
Safety for horse, handler and everyone in the area when loading, unloading and travelling. Accidents involving horse floats are normally quote significant.
-
Both people and horses become nervous and/or short tempered, this not only escalates safety problems, but sets all concerned up for a bad day.
-
Loading problems make you run late which can put you under alot of pressure when competing. It kills all the fun if you have to scehdule an extra 2 hours loading time every time you take your horse out, not to mention should the horse need to be transported in the case of an emergency.
-
The embarassment of attracting every "wanna be" expert plus dozens of onlookers.
-
Injuries due to traumatic travelling can cause the horse to be scratched from the race / event which is very costly and no fun.
-
Make your horses transport experience as pleasant as possible considering that a horse float is one of the most unnatural environments that you could expose him/her to.
-
Horse and handlers/riders are trained to perform any other task so it's correct to teach them to float.
-
Outings can be easy and stress free when both horse and handler are educated.
