Tell your daughter that if she is approached while riding by someone that is not armed, and she suspects mischief or if the person on the ground reaches toward the horse, she should try to ride her horse into them and not do this gently. This needs to be a forceful movement into the person on the ground with the intent to scare or if necessary, harm them. This changes the person on the ground from being in an offensive position to a defensive position. Once the person has backed off, then she needs to ride away quickly. If she has a cell phone, she needs to be calling 911.

Go to www.horsethink.com. On the left side of their home page you will see a picture of a female rider being pulled from her horse with the title underneath "click here for a self-defense video clip". Have your daughter watch it and train her horse to do what is shown.
Unfortunately, those of us who ride in populated areas have had to learn to do this.
