As a rule, farmers do not con­ sider horses as especially dan­ gerous animals, yet they account for more accidents of a serious nature than any other farm animal. According to the National Safety Council, approximately three times as many actidents occur with horses as with any other farm ani­ mal. Farmers should always be cautious around these animals, the NSC continued. One phase of this precaution is a thorough check in the spring of ail equipment to be used on or by horses, particularly harness. Only strong harness should be used and these should be inspected regularly and kept in good repair. Dry leather has low tensile strength and it should be cleaned with mild soap and warm water and treated with oil. Attention to equipment such as neck-yokes, tongues, single- trees, double-trees and eveners is also very necessary. The NSC suggests that many seri­ ous farm accidents can be prevented by following these simple rules: Never approach a horse without speaking to him. When cleaning a stall, making no sudden movement. Enter the stall on the left side of the horse. When driving or leading horses, never wrap the lines around body.
