Requirement
10. Approach, lead and tie a horse safely
Required Often forgotten
From a stall, corral or field, and tied securely: explained AND demonstrated. In practice this happens before anything else you do with a horse, including saddling it at requirement 9(b).
Notes and warnings
Note. Explained AND demonstrated, both halves are in the requirement. It is also the requirement where requirement 1(a)'s safety precautions stop being a list and start being what you actually do with your hands and feet.
