Stuff Happens Cards
Use Stuff Happens Cards with real-life stories that make your mounted or unmounted lessons unforgettable!
These small-but-mighty discussion scenarios help your students remember and apply safety rules and procedures to common horsey problems.
Stuff Happens Cards are memorable little scenarios that can help you teach safety rules, critical thinking, and ... well, horse sense!
Hover/tap this card to see the reverse side:
You’re almost finished tacking up for
your lesson when you realize you’d
better hit the bathroom before you
ride. You’ve already put on your
pony’s bridle, so you just loop the
reins around the fence post before
you run into the tack room. After all,
that’s how they do it in the movies.
Each card has a situation to discuss with students:
- What is the problem here?
- How should we fix it?
- How could we avoid it?
- What is the concept or rule we should remember?
And yes, most of these scenarios are based on real-life experiences.
Not entirely our own, thankfully!
