In this episode of Not Just a Pony Ride, we’re talking about one of the most critical skills for every Equine-Assisted Services team—emergency dismounts. Whether it’s a sudden horse reaction, a participant complication, or an environmental hazard, having a clear plan of action can make all the difference in keeping participants, volunteers, and horses safe. Expect to hear conversation around:

Creating a plan of action – why it’s essential and how to ensure every team member knows their role

Emergency Dismount Scenarios – What if your rider is independent? What if a horse is loose? What if There are other teams in the arena?

Practice & preparedness – how to build confidence so that everyone can act quickly and safely when it matters most.
