We would like to share your experience so other riders or handlers can learn from you. Safety with horses is so important and we want to help others prevent an accident or learn what to do in case of an emergency. We will share most or all of the stories on the Northwest Horse Source Website and possibly the magazine. Share your story in 350-700 words. Include a picture or two if you have some. If not, include a picture of you with your horse or just you. Images are very important. You could help prevent an accident. Thanks for participating!
Submit your story and photos below. Rights to story and images become the property of The Northwest Horse Source.
