Requirement
1. Safety around horses, and fire safety in a barn
Required
Two parts, and the second is the only requirement on the badge about the building rather than the animal.
Notes and warnings
Warning. FIVE OF THE TWELVE REQUIREMENTS NEED A HORSE IN FRONT OF YOU: 7, 9(b), 9(c), 10 and 11. For most Scouts that means a stable, a riding school or a summer camp, booked in advance, so this badge moves at the speed of somebody else's diary. Get the horse time in the calendar first and fit requirements 1 to 6 and 8 around it, rather than the other way round.
