2. Calm and composed behaviour is essential around horses. Horses are flight animals that can spook sudden movements and loud noices.

3. It is not allowed to enter the boxes or stand stalls without permission. Entering the grass paddocks or sand paddocks is also prohibited without permission. Dogs should be on the leash while visiting the stables, it is important for dogs own safety.

4. Feeding is planned carefully for each horse individually. Feeding extra could risk horses health or change horses behaviour, that is why nothing should be fed to horses without staffs permission. Many stables welcome carrots, ask the staff for details.

5. Every horse has it´s own, fitted tack. Store the tack in right places so they are not used on a wrong horse. If there is a certain place for the tack, for example a rack or a holder, place the bridle and saddle on them. Expensive equipment lying on the floor can get broken or cause danger if tangled at the feet of horses or human. Ask the staff for additional information if needed. Do not fasten the horse from the mouthpiece. You can place a halter on top of the bridle and after that fasten the horse according to instructions.

6. The staff know the horses, so while grooming the horses it is worth it to go along with instructions given from the staff. Typically at the stables you also find information about each individual horse from the box doors, grooming kits and/or from the noticeboard. If any horse should need special treatments, you should always have a permission from the horses owner or from a person, who is authorized by the owner. While walking the horses in hand, wear appropriate gloves. Do not wrap the rope or reins around yor hand. Shoes worn at the stable should be sturdy and fit for purpose.

Ask questions without hesitation or prejudice, attend courses, trainings and events organized by your stable in order to learn more about horses and handling of horses.
