Webinar Replay: Risky Business – The Real Safety Conversation Every Horse Person Needs

Handling horses is inherently risky. They are big, unpredictable, and powerful animals, and every year people are injured or worse while working with them. Too often, the conversation about safety stops at “wear a helmet”. But protective equipment, while important, is actually one of the least effective strategies for keeping people safe. Real safety begins long before you tack up or step into the paddock.

In this eye-opening, entertaining, and illuminating webinar, risk management expert Kas Kensho brings decades of professional experience in transport infrastructure, mining, and auditing into the horse world. She shows how the Code of Practice and the Work Health and Safety Act apply to everyone who handles horses: property owners, employers, trainers, competitors, vets, farriers, saddle fitters, club executives, and volunteers. You’ll discover how to prevent accidents before they happen, how to meet your legal obligations with confidence, and how to turn safety into second nature.

But there is more...

But safety isn’t just about systems and paperwork. It’s also about people and skills. That’s why this replay also includes a bonus presentation titled "Horsemanship Mastery - The Pareto Principle of Skills" where you will discover:

Why 20% of your horsemanship skills drives 80% of your outcomes, and how focusing on the right skills creates safer, more successful partnerships.

Together, these sessions connect the dots between risk management and skill development. You’ll walk away with a clear framework to keep yourself, your horse, and those around you safe — not by luck, not by hope, but through informed, proactive, and prepared horsemanship.
