SAFE University
Education is everything when it comes to horses, and none of us ever stop learning! For the benefit of our volunteers, we create videos from time to time to teach and demonstrate basic skills that keep humans safe and horses happy.
Please note: These videos are shared here for informational purposes only, and are not a substitute for experience, professional training, or common sense. Always use caution when handling horses, and be sure to remain present and alert at all times. SAFE assumes no liability for injuries or death that may occur as the result of handling horses.
